PAGE TWO Duke, Syracuse Clash In Homecoming Affair Gala Program for Returning Grads Planned Around Sat urday’s Game in Duke Stadium; Hen derson High Rand to Participate. Durham. Oct. 17. —As a major pait of Duke’s annual homecoming cele bration here Saturday Coach Wal lace Wade's Blue Devils of Football will entertain one of the finest Syra cuse elevens ever to come out of the northern institution. There will be a gala program to support Saturday afternoon’s feature gridiron attraction in Duke stadium. Duke-Du'rham Day will be observed jointly with the homecoming festivi ties, and the-annual parade —slated to be bigger and better than ever will highlight the activities of the morning. The parade will begin at 10:30 o'clock, and will include numerous floats attractively decorated to go with the theme of the day. Several bands, representing over 400 pieces, will march in the procession. They will include organizations from Dur ham high Rocky Mount high, Mon roe high, Henderson high. Greens boro high, the Durham American legion, and Duke University. All the bands and the prize- win ning floats will make an appearance at Duke stadium in the afternoon. Robert B. Fearing director of the Duke band, is arranging for exercises to preceed the game and will like wise be in charge of the entertain ment during halftime. The game, itself, promises to be one of the most colorful in the stadium this fall. Syracuse will be at full strength for the first time this season. The Orangemen are rat ed highly in the eastern football realm. After beating Clarkson, they lost to Cornell in what was regarded as an upset and then went on to hold Georgetown to a 13-13 tie last week. Georgetown had not been beaten or tied since 1937. Blue Devil scouts have carried back reports that Ossie Solem's crew is rugged and fast with plenty of experience. Injuries at important posts have held the Orangemen back in their early-season contests but the entire squad will be in good shape for the Duke game. John Congdon. guard, Walt Zimdahl, full back. and Co-Captain Bill Hoffman fullback are all ready to go again. Duke will be attempting to snap back after last week’s heartbreaking loss to Pittsburgh. The Blue Devils performance against the Panthers was highly gratifying to Duke sup porters, even in defeat. But in Syra cuse the Wademen are meeting a team that will be tough to handle all the way. We continue to find it difficult to believe Stalin is really a dictator. He never is photographed wearing one of those monkey suits.

Southern Railway Lauds Wake Grid Eleven On Comeback Daily Dispatch Bureau. In the S*r Waiter Hotel. Raleigh, Oct. 17.—0 n the field Wake Forest didn’t throw a single pass against North Carolina State last Saturday night, but the coach of the Demon Deacs did pull an out standing spot pass. Peahead Worker passed the hot spot, occupied by coaches whose teams don’t measure up to the ex pectations of over-enthusiastic alum ni, right squarely over to Doe New ton who, chances are, is a bit better equipped with asbestos protection than is the Wake mentor. At least there hasn’t as yet been any outward manifestation that the State coach is in any serious danger of losing .... ..... Slarngely enough under the circumstances, the reac tion of the student body at State, so far as this observer has been able to diagnose it, is that the only mis take of strategy that Doc has made nes not in the technique of coach .ng but in consistently stringing along with a so-called first team which has looked worse than his all sophomore array in practically every game played this year. Specifically and particularly, there is a strong tide of student opinion that State’s Wolves are at least fifty per cent stronger without Art iooney (long touted as the outstand ,ng Wolf) than they are with him; ind there were open expressions of ipinion that the only good thing that nappened to State Saturday night ./as Rooney’s ejection from the game or throwing the pigskin at Tom Tin ■le, Wake Forest guard. The State collegians have simply cached the conclusion that the ma erial just isn’t there and that it isn’t my fault of Newton’s that the red hirts are overmatched in almost wery department. There isn't the shadow of a doubt .hat the Wake victory made Walle r's position much stronger than it was before the game. The Deacon lefeat against Carolina was so over whelming as to bring bitter mutter dngs, but these have about died away as the result of the 32-0 of Saturday night. Which makes it line all round from the point of view of the coaches themselves —Newton can probably “take it’’ without loss of prestige or iob. Walker is safer than he has been for a long time. As for the football displayed, those Deacons of Saturday night, it is hard to believe, were the same as the mis fits who bungled so horribly against Carolina. With a change of uniforms (they were all dolled up in reai new nifties) they seemed to nave chang ed in personality and capacity as well. Your correspondent has seen all he Big Five teams but Davidson; all of them but Duke more than once. He has likewise seen Tennessee, Col gate and the Citadel. The worst team he has seen this season was the Wake Forest team which lost to Carolina; the best was the Wake team which beat State— yet they called the boys by the same names. They must do it with mir rors. DICK CASSIANO IS A POLITE FELLOW Durham, Oct. 17.—Here’s one for the record books. With just a minute left to play in that 14-13 loss to Pitt Saturday, Coach Wallace Wade sent in a sub for Duke’s brilliant George McAfee who had been the outstanding play er on the field. Dick Cassiano, Pitt’s famous back, saw McAfee leaving the game and rushed across the field to congratulate him. Time was rot out and the Blue Devils were m .ing a frantic passing attack and had a play called for a pass in Cassiano’s ten itory. But seeing Cassiano out of position, across the field congratulating Mc- Afee, the Blue Devils waited until Cassiano was through and had re turned to his spot—then ran the play. After the game Cassiano, who has been a star at Pitt for three years,- said “McAfee is the greatest back I’ve ever played against.” LOSS TO PITTWADE’S FIRST BY POINT Durham, Oct. 17.—That one-point loss bugaboo finally caught up with Coach Wallace Wade of Duke in his 21st year of coaching. Until Pitt beat the Blue Devils Saturday, 14-13. Wade had never lost a game by a single point. He had won two —a- gainst Washington in the Rose Bowl in 1926 and against Georgia Tech in 1937, both by 20-19 scores. And that placekick “True Toe” Tony Ruffa, Duke’s triple - threat tackle, missed that cost the game, was his first miss after 11 consecu tive successful ones. | • HHEKft v lljk u • ■■ ■ ■■ . i Victor McLaglen in “Rio”—Steven son Wednesday Only.

OCTOBER 17, 1939 Duke’s Blocker Deluxe > George McAfee, Duke’s sensational halfback has set the woods on fire in Duke’s first three games with his sensational running, and above is pictured one of the reasons for McAfee’s success. The boy above is Willard (Easy) Eaves, Duke’s veteran blocking back. In addition to his blocking duties —he never carries the bail—Eaves has also taken over the signal-calling job this season and is doing a good job of that. The Athens, Tenn., boy is being looked to for another fine performance Satur day when Duke’s boys in blue go against Syracuse in Duke stadium in Duke’s big Homecoming Day special. Eaves is a senior at Duke. Tar Heels Have Work Cut Out For Them Saturday Chapel Hill, Oct. 17.—General George Stirnweiss, Sweet Laianne, and the rest of North Carolina’s fleet ball carriers and air raiders have their work cut out for them Saturday. Tulane has not one but three lines that average over 200 pounds. And the first two are all-veteran outfits that rank with the nation’s best. The Green Wave, in rolling over CJemson. Auburn, and Fordham— three mighty good teams by the way—has had but one touchdown scored on it, and that was on a pass. And Tulane’s massive and pow erful front wall limited, Clemson to 77 yards, Auburn to 24 and mighty Fordham to 74 yards net by rush ing. Jack Meagher says Tulane is “po tentially one of the greatest teams” he ever saw, and the Auburn coach Football Brings Greatest Number Os Knee Injuries By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. THE CONSTRUCTION of the knee joint is the most faulty ir the body. Any good carpenter could make a better hinge than the knee. It is not locked like the elbow, nor embedded in a socket like the hip, nor buttressed like the shoulder. Yet, in even ordinary loco motion it must stand a great deal of strain. Nowonderthat in strenuous sport it is tho most often in jured of any joint. Football is responsible for the greatest number of knee injuries, 47 per cent. Soccer causes 12 per cent, basketball and gym nasium activities eight per cent, track five per cent, wrestling five Dr. Clendening will answer questions of general interest only, and then only through his column. per cent, baseball and lacrosse three per cent, and various activities— not necessarily sport—the rest. Three common injuries occur: (1) Bruising of the joint surface in general, with inflammation of the joint surface —traumatic synovitis. There is usually an effusion, domes tically known as “water on the knee.” Its Treatment Treatment recommended is by Ace or Bender bandage, and the use of water in the form of whirlpool baths; some massage after the acute inflammation has subsided; rest to the extent of crutches, as long as necessary. In actual prac tice this varied from one to 21 days, with an average of six. Time lost from athletics varied from three days to eight weeks, with an aver age of 13 days. Only once out of 20 ought to know. And North Caro lina's scouts readily concur in his opinion. North Carolina’s brilliant passing game was all that saved the Tar Heels against New York University. And North Carolina will be match ing its air strength against Tulane’s I ground power Saturday with Tu ane ;he favorite. General George Stirnweiss, who beat New York U. almost single handed, and Sweet Laianne, the Louisiana boy who led the attack against Wake Forest and Virginia Tech, head the Tar Heels’ pitching hopes. North Carolina’s line, led by Co- Captain Jim Woodson and Paul Severin, also faces one of the big gest assignments of the year. Tulane’s power attack, led by Bob Kellogg, Fred Gloden, Buddy Ban ker, and Harry Hays, netted 298 yards by rushing against Fordham. cases was it necessary to remova the fluid by aspiration. By these methods over 90 per cent of results were perfect. There wera no poor results. (2) Sprain of the lateral liga ment. One of the weak points of the joint is that the upper and lower leg bones are held together by a sheet of weak ligaments. There is no bony buttress. Sprain of these ligaments is com mon. Treatment by Ace bandages, massage, water applications, heat and crutches has resulted in good l'esults in about 80 per cent of cases. Average time of recovery is nine weeks. The knee afterwards is al ways apt to be weak. (3) Dislocation of a cartilage. The weakest feature of the knee is that the joint has no bony socket. The end of the thigh bone (femur) sets on the bone of the lower leg (tibia), guided into place only by a ring of disc-shaped cartilages that are attached to the tibia very inse curely. A sudden wrench may break one of them from its moorings, so that it is loose in the joint. The loose cartilage may also be frac tured. The symptoms are, first, that the knee is locked. Then it may slip back into place. Always afterward there is a possibility that the carti lage may get loose and the knee lock, completely disabling the leg. The surgeon confronted with such a condition has the choice of two methods of procedure: (1) con servative treatment, consisting of rest, bandaging, whirlpool baths and massage, even immobilization in a plaster cast; and (2) operative removal of the loose cartilage. Operative removal obtains good results in 95 per cent of cases/ EDITOR’S NOTE: Dr. Clendening has seven pamphlets which can be obtained by readers. Each pamphlet sells for 10 cents, ror any one pamphlet desired, send 10 cents in coin, and a self-addressed envelop# stamped with a three-cent stamp, to Dr. Logan clendening, in care of this paper.

Wednesday is school day at the Golden Belt Fair, and the students y/ill have a half holiday that day. Friday, the varsity eleven will be in Fuquay Springs, leaving the athletic field to the Juniors. Yesterday’s announcement of the game was carried on the strength ol a statement made by one of the assistant coaches. October 31 Last Compliance Date On Soil Program College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 17. —E. Y. Floid, AAA executive officer of State College today reminded farmers of North Carolina that October 31 is the closing date for carrying out soil-building practices under the 1939 Agricultural Con servation program. “This means that credit will not be allowed under this year’s prograin for practices carried out after the end of the present month,” he explained. Preliminary reports to the State | College AAA office show that out i standing progress has been made by farmers taking part in the conserva tion program this year. Not only were there increases in the amounts of practices carried out, but real progress was made this year in the kind of practices perforbed, Floyd said. Farmers this year have chosen practices that are better adapted to their farming set-up and soil needs than ever before. This has resulted in outstanding achievements in con serving and improving the land, the Triple-A executive pointed out. He thinks that the carrying out of more desirable practices resulted in large part from closer contact of AAAcommitteemen and the county agent’s office with farmers through the use of the “farm plan.” This per sonal contact of committeemen and formers made possible the working out of a list of soil-building praceices most needed on the farm. Among the more important prac tices were the use of ground agri cultural limestone and triple-super phosnhate under the AAA’s grant of-aid plan. Orders for nearly 100,- 000 tons of lime and more than 3,- OOOtons of phosphate were placed this year. Motorists Paying For Highways As Move for Defense New York, Oct. 17.—The United States, with 360,000 miles of sur faced highways, has potentially the finest system of military roads in the world, and although improve ment of these roads is needed, they constitute a foundation for national defense unexcelled by any other nation, the interstate conference on automotive taxation, being held at the Hotel Astor here, during Na tional Automobile Show Week, was told today. The conference, spon sored by the American Petroleum Industries Committee, is being at tended by economists, transporta tion experts and executives from 16 eastern states and the District of Columbia. Pointing out that all the principal armies of the world are mechanized and that motor transportation with ils multi-flexible units presents more of a problem to air raiders and enemy artillery than railroads, Arthur C. Butler, of Washington, manager of the motor truck depart ment of the Automobile Manufac turers Association, declared that the highway users of the United States are providing billions of dol lars in gasoline and other taxes to build the nation’s military high ways, which otherwise would have to be built and paid for out of pub lic money.

They never liked his philosophy, but they considered him honest and, so far as he himself was concerned, disinterested. He was an anarchist, who sought to make anarchy prac tically workable. Presumably he wanted to spread his doctrine, but not by conquest. The chap sougnt to be an apostle, not a world dictator. In short, his critics say, he meant well, however irrationally and fana tically. Then he died, Stalin gravitated in to control, and the same critics ex press the opinion that he speedily was bitten by the personal power bug. Trotsky,, illustratively, says so —and he ought to be a pretty good authority. As Roy W. Howard, a recent Am- j erican investigator, has remarked,; there’s no more similarity between i Lenin-ism and today’s Stalin-ism than between orthodox religion and ancient fire-worship. Which seems j I to bear out Trotsky, a 100 per cent j Lenin-ist. Roy, by the way, is a con servative, so that the verdict, while j unaimous, is impartial The whole theory is that Lenin was j a fairly decent guy, though cuckoo: that Stalin isn’t a bit a decent guy, but that he’s plenty sane enough to j give cards and spades to Hitler and j out-maneuver him. No Tears for Hitler. Democratic diplomacy isn’t a par ticle sorry for Hitler, but it’s worried over Stalin. Joe, having gobbled from Adolf more than his fair share of Poland; having gobbled also Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; being now on his way into Scandinavia. (Finland, Sweden and Norway) and being in process of extending his sphere throughout the Balkans, appears at present to have his eye on Iran (Persia) and Afghanistan; thence on into British India. Away back in the earlier czars' times the English considered Russia a threat against India. They haven’t fretted much about it since the last World War, but it was a very sen sitive subject in Rudyard Kipling’s era. It’s becoming sensitive again with great rapidity. Momentarily the “bear that walks like a man” is pre occupied to the westward, but it’s surmised that, when he gets around to it, he’ll devote his attention in a southerly direction. And maybe he'll start in again on China—which will be Japan’s funeral, if the “bear” can get away with it. Very Vicious “Bear.” Well, the “bear’s” semi-growling at Germany. He already has chewed up Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, not to mention his bite out of Poland. He’s whetting his tusks for Jugo slavia. Roumania and Bulgaria. If he takes a nip at them it’s a bad mouthful out of Italy. It'll upset the j whole world if he starts in on Fin land, Sweden and Norway. England couldn’t stand that, let alone a swipe at India. Japan’s got an interest in the matter, via China. This concerns Uncle Samuel. Hitler? Stalin’s developing into the main headache. Adolf’s obscured. Joe looms as a new czar and a darned more trou blesome one-—a lot more annoying czar than the last Nicholases. Roosevelt Sees Pro blem of Refugees (Continued From Page One) with new problems when the cur rent conflict ends. He called for “redoubled vigor ’ be cause of the possibility of a refugee problem of “infinitely greater mag nitude.” Speaking at a luncheon for I he of ficers, representing six countries, Mr. Roosevelt asserted that ‘v/non this ghastly war ends, there may be not 1,000,000 but 10,000,000 or 20,- 000,000” persons who will enter into the problem of the human refugee.
