PAGE TWO Syracuse Invades Duke Stadium Next Saturday Big Orange Men Aim To Give Duke Tough er Battle Than Last Year; Injured Play ers Expected to Be In Form for All-Impor tant Game. Syracuse, Oct. 14. —Big Bill Orange of Syracuse makes its deepest football invasion of the south Saturday October 21 to meet the Duke Blue Devils at Durham, TV. C. The Orangemen aim to give Duke a much tougher battle than last year when the Wade-coached ele\- en won a 21 to 0 vietdry here. If injured regulars are right, the Orange will be .able this year to offer a faster, stronger combina tion. Last year. Duke and Syracuse met the week following the latter s objective victory over Colgate, 7 to 0. and the Orange wasn't “up" mentally or physically. The big problem now is the eond’tion of several men who have been missed in the early games. This includes Gene Hopkins, sensational sophomore back, who appears out of action: Johnny Cong don, junior guard: Walt Zimdahl, fullback, and Co-Capt. Bill Hoff man, fullback. The last three are due to be in shape tor the Blue Devils, giving Syracuse its best manpower thus far this year, which has been marked by a series of casualties, a strong factor in the setback at the hands of Cornell. In pre-season forecasts, this Syracuse squad looked like the best in five years. Injuries and result ing emergency measures to fill gaps have hurt to dcite. but veteran foot ball observers believe the Orange will be a tough customer before the ’39 campaign closes. Several players are living up to all advance notice and will be Syra cuse's mainstays in Duke Stadium. Heading the group are: Red Heat er, 210-pound senior tackle, whose new aggressiveness bicti to make him a standout; Whitey Piro, stocky junior end. Syracuse’s best end since All-America Vic Hanson; Tony Pasekvich, lank center and detensive star of the Cornell game; Bulldogs To Play Twice Next Week The postponement of yesterday’s football game with Green Hope here to next Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, puts Henderson high gridders against two foes next week. Friday afternoon, the team goes to Fuquay Springs for a test. With no game for the week-end, the Bulldogs took light work outs, and some of the injured players will be in top shape by Tuesday, bring ing the Buildings to the best condi tion for Green Hope. A junior varsiy game in Durham was also cancelled yesterday. The Bulldogs are expected to im prove as the season progresses, with numerous first year men showing rapid improvement each game.

This wili make the third time Wallace Wade has sent a team against. Syracuse. Back in 1923, Syracuse walloped Wade’s Alabama outfit, 23 to 0, worst defeat in his record. Last year, Wade took re ! venge at Syracuse, 21 to 0.

Capital Gossip By HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, Oct. 14. —Wonder how Senator Bob Reynolds liked the lat est crack of the Washington Merry go-Round? Said Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen: “Latest addition to the famed Garment Workers’ Union musical comedy hit, “Pins and needles' is the skit entitled ‘The Harmony Boys’, with Senator Bob Reynolds Fritz characters. The skit replaced the Kuhn and Father Coughlin as the FAur Angels of Peace’, which had Hitler, Mussolini and Chamberlain as stars.” Your correspondent spied two sports notables, Pea.head Walker of Wake Forest, and Blackie Carter, boss of the Cooleemee State league ball club in close communion in the Sir Walter lobby Friday. They were laughing heartily over an instant which occurred last winter when they collaborated to buy young pitcher for Peahead’s Snow Hill Coastal Plains club at the expense of one “Parker”, apparently a boss of the Salisbury Giants of the State league. It seems that Mr. Parker was completely out-harumed in the mat ter and is still looking for Peaheud with a vengeful gleam in his eye. Walker told this corner, incidental ly, that it’s the newspaper men who have “put me on the spot for the last year.” The pleasant Deacon mentor isn’t really angry about it, contends that the scribes have over drawn the picture of the football material at Wake Forest., “We just haven’t got the fine foot ball players the sports writers have been crediting us with,” exploded Peahead. , “Blackie ,’ who in the off-season from baseball, is one of the out standing football and basketball of ficials of Dixie, contends that the North Carolina State League'is about the fastest piece of class “D” ma chinery in the country. Most colorful description heard yet of the thrilling nature of Lucky Teter’s Hell Driving at the State Fair comes from this bureau’s ef ficient and vex-y attractive secretary, who went to the Wednesday after noon performance with the equally efficient and attractive secretary who serves Senator S. Gilmer Sparger, in the N. C. Petroleum Industries committee, Miss Mary Gardner. “Do you know” exclaimed the bureau’s real boss, “Mary got so scared the hair on her arms stood right straight up.” TONIGHT I’LL WAIT FOR YOU. By Hester Pendergrass. Tonight when all is quiet and sleep ing And the clouds drift across the sky, I’ll steal silently into the night To wait, perhaps, for you to say goodbye. The long weeks of loneliness Have been more than I can bare, So tonight I’ll flee to the valley of dreams Praying that you will meet me there. Like a phantom of night I’ll wait Breathlessly for the sound of your footsteps, As you approach the hiding place Os the secret we have kept. If we should again say goodbye And part by the valley stream, I’ll return home to a life of lone liness And think that after all you were v just a dream.

Trains Start Soon New York, Oct. 14. —Three groat air-conditioned limiteds to Florida providing daily service are to be placed in operation this December by the Seaboard Railway, it was an nounced today by the Line’s passen ger department. The Seaboard will be the only railroad to Florida op erating three different diesel-electric powered daily trains to the Sunshine State Last year the Seaboai'd pioneei’ed by offering the first streamliner in the north-south service, its success ful “Silver Meteor”, that streamlined silver streak which presented the most modern note in Florida de luxe coach travel. Demands for space on this stainless steel train have been consistently so great that the Sea board ordered two more complete trains constructed, they also to be powered by 2,000 horepower diesel electric locomotives. Starting about December 1, the three “Silver Meteors” will provide daily all electric service to Florida points, one hour and a half faster than last year. The “Meteors” and other Seaboai’d trains use Pennsyl vania Railroad tracks between New York and Washington and those of the Richmond, Fredericksbui'g and Potomac from the Nation’s Capital to Richmond In addition to the daily Meteors, the West Coast Orange Blossom Spe cial, a sleeping car and coach train, the crack ti'ain to the Florida West Coast, will be powered for the first time this year by diesel electric lo comotives. This fast ti’ain sei’vice Savannah, Sea Island, Jacksonville, and Florida west coast cities. Buffet lounge service is to be added to this train and its other accommodations are on the same high plane as those of the East Coast Orange Blossom Special. It is equipped with tight lock couplei's, rubber darlt gear and other anti-noise devices, being a twin of the Seaboard’s premier sleeping car limited, the East Coast Blos som Sleeping cars on the West Coast Blossom are newly decorated The Orange Blossom Specials start operation from New York Decem ber 15, the West Coast running one hour and a half faster than last year Odd Facts In Carolina By Carl Spencer DREAMS TO COME TRUE IN // W \M ONE WEEK / /JJf Ipl ( THAT 65 YARD ) ) HE AIN’T EVEN \ — f GALLOP THRU 1 j ( OPENE.D UP YET.M SNAKE ~ SHAPED V*® ~~ TiT iTH whole \ , —* DCDDCD pr>n 0 VB^ f TT .

Feed Prices Again Drop Raleigh, Oct. 14.—Feed markets made further moderate declines dur ing the past week with heavy Sep tember purchases limiting new or ders from feeders and industrial buy ers, according to the U. S. and North Carolina department of agriculture in the weekly news service review. Recent rains improved pastures in some sections, but conditions were still poor for the country as a whole as a result of Septembers dryness. Feed grazing and hay supplies, how ever, are plentiful in most sections, and feeders and distributors appar ently are not inclined to accumulate stocks at prevailing prices. The in dex number of wholesale feed prices dropped an additional 4 points to 111.4 compared with 126.4 g month ago and 92.8 two months ago. Old crop farmer’s stock Virginia type peanuts in North Carolina are now almost completely exhausted and not even nominal diggings of the new crop is almost 75 percent dug, and a few early dug offerings in the southern North Carolina belt have already come on the market. For future delivery new crop shelled and cleaned Virginias are being quoted at 7 1-4 to 8 cents a pound for jumbos; 7 1-2 to 8 cents for ex tra large and 5 7-8 to 6 1-8 cents per pound for number ones. A large turkey crop is in prospect this year. Recent reports indicate a 22 percent increase which is prob ably a record. The season generally has been favorable and feed has been plentiful, also turkeys are going to market earlier than usual. Prices in Washington, new f. o. b. at the pe riod’s close were 17 cents per pound for the 15 pound and up young tom and 20 cents for the 10 pound and up young hen. A year ago in Wash ington the young tom was quoted at 20 to 22 cents and the young hen at 22 cents. The sharp advance in average local market prices of farm products dur ing the past month was in contrast to the slight downturn which occurr ed during August 1914 one month after the declaration of the World War. On the whole, farm produce Tar Heels Meet Greenies In Rubber Game Os Series Chapel Hill, Oct. 14.—North Carolina and Tulane clash at New Orleans next Saturday in an im portant inter-conference contest re viving one of the soutn’s closest ivalries. After four games dating back to 1922, the Tar Heel-Greenie series is deadlocked at two victories each, and the dffierence in the total scores of the two teams is only three points—s 3 to 50. Both teams were undefeated up until today’s battles with the New York U. and Forclham mighties, re spectively, and each ranked well to the fore in its Conference., Tulane won its opener from Clemson 7-6 and broke a three year deadlock with Auburn 12-0. Carolina routed Citadel 50-0 and Wake Forest, rated a strong eleven, 36-6, but let up against Virginia Tech 13-6. Saturday’s contest, which will be the rubber game, will match such stars as Hayes, Kellogg, Gloden, prices remained below the August 1913-July 1914 average for 27 months after the war began, or until Jan uary 1916. Another set of two may steer mar kets, favorable to light weights and yearlings, developed this week and all little cattle again edged forward at the same time, only strictly choice and prime heavy steers recovered the early loss to close at steady prices while medium and good grades lost a quarter. Hogs started the \veek at lower levels, regained part of the downturn while fat lambs sold on the strong side of a steady market. Prime yearling steers headed that division at 11.25, hogs dropped to 7.15, reach ed 7.30 at mid-week and closed 7.25 down. Best native lambs reached ten dollars late, more through improved quality than by virtue of higher mar kets. While most hogs finished the week slightly lower as a result of pre-week decline, which were not fully recovered, the late undertone was stronger than at any time dur ing the period. Large and small kill ers operated more freely than last week and outside demand was some what enlarged. At the low time Tuesday best hogs sold at 7.15, clos ed Thursday at 7.25 down with most 180-300 pound consignments at 6.90 to 7.25.
