PUNTS and - PASSES R? BILL T Last week -.fend Texas and Duke fell lr6m thtr -Unbeaten ranks, while Georgia Tech con tinued on a bowl road. Most of the games turned out as predicted In this column except for Wake Forest’s defeat by William and Mary and Southern Methodist's one point victory over the Texas Longhorns. Scrappy Davidson showed increased strength to tie a favored VMI. i T.iis week will see some more hard fought games within the State as well as among some state teams travelling to dis tant points. State vs. U. N. C. Being renewed again is this family contest between State and Carolina on Saturday, at Chapel Hill. This was originally scheduled for Raleigh, but was switched to Chapel Hill to take care of the larger crowd clamor ing for tickets. This game will renew an old rivalry that was interrupted by the war. With State being rated as or e of the South’s best defensive teams and Carolina very much on the of fensive, judging from the bril liant playing in their defeat of Tennessee, last week, the game is expected to, be one of the best in Nortii Carolina this season. We will string along with U. N. C. however! Duke - Missouri Over in Durham, Saturday afternoon will be another good game, when those lads from President Truman’s state, that have to be shown, will see what the Blue Devils have to offer. Tne visitors have a strong team and it is believed that due to Injuries sustained in the Ga. Tech game, Duke will be without the brilliant Folger or Center Fletcher Wall. This was the game to which President Truman was invited; bu alters of international con cern . e expected to keep him in ■Washington. We believe Missouri has the edge on tne Duke Blue Devils. Away From Home Wake Forest Demon Deacons will be “on the road’’ again this week, invading Boston. Mass., to tackle Boston College’s powerful Eagles. Wake Forest tripped the Eagles last season, 12—6, and “Peahead” Walker will seek an other triumph over the Eastern school in the intersectional game. Davidson moves into Virginia to tangle with the University of Richmond in a Southern Confer ence contest. Davidson tripped the Spiders last year, 26—6, but the teams are expected to snow on about even terms this season. Appalachian vs. W. C. Local fans that were rained out last Saturday, when Appa lachian defeated Emory and Henry 19—0, will have another chance to see the Mountaineers in action this coming Saturday niggat, when they play Western Carolina Teachers College. We’ll take Johnny Hollars and the Mountaineers again. Another game in the North State Conference that should be an interesting one will be Lenoir Bhyne and Guilford, to be played in Greensboro, Saturday night. Picking Winners Here are our selection of Win ners this week, barring upsets, injuries, and of course luck: Carolina over State Missouri over Duke TJavidson over Richmond Wake Forest over B. C. ASTC over W. C. fClemson over Furman Georgia Tech over Navy „ Georgia over Florida William and Mary over VMI x Texas over Baylor 'Notre Dame over Army— This is a toss up, but we per sonally favor the Irish.

It’s time Uncle Sam thought about his arteries Most of tho groat lifo stream that keeps you and your country alive — food, fuel, goods, services — flows through your railroads. The continuing ability of this life line to do its job and do it well depends upon a continuing, vigorous program of research and invention, replacement and improvement in plant, equipment, and service. 1 This takes dollars—lots of dollars. Dollars that railroads must get either, from their earnings qjc b> at reas the eari^^HB^IHFyour railroads are dangerously low. This year railroad's expect to average less than 3% on their invest ment. But evemthis will not be clear profit. Out of it railroads must pay interest on borrowed money, rentals of property and equipment, and must provide for needed improvements. Most people think a return of 6% would be no more than fair — and experience has shown that railroads need 6% to keep their plants and equipment abreast of the times. Why are railroads faced with this situation? Here’s why. Since 1939 railroad wage rates are up more than 67% . . . costs of materials and, supplies are up 87%. But increases in freight and passenger charges authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission have not come anywhere near offsetting these skyrocketing costs. So, in spite of handling a record-breaking peacetime traffic with an efficiency which #has set new transportation records, railroads are faced with the grim reality that their earnings are far short of their needs. . The plain fact is that in order to continue to give the nation the transportation service it demands, railroads must be allowed to charge enough for their freight and passenger services to enable them to earn a return comparable to that earned by other progressive, self-support ing private enterprises. €N$fL RAILWAY The Schools are Yours • Visit Them November Q-I$ American Education Week
