"Pea head" Walker of Wake Forest and Gene McEver of Davidson, were queried by the Daily Tar Heel for their opinion on the contest, as teams of each have already played both Carolina and Duke. Walker wired: "Carolina has better and more deceptive offense. Duke appears stronger defensively. It will be a real ball game and I would call it toss-up." McEver wired: "It will be a great offense against a great defense. I think Duke's kicking will be decid ing factor." According to the Williamson sys "tem of rating, Duke is ninth in the nation while Carolina is 22nd. The Associated Press lists Duke as lead ing the ten second bes; teams in the country.

Russ Carlisle, under the able direc tion of Blue Barron, "knocked 'em over" with his singing titles and rendered several encores.

T. Sloan, chief of police of Chapel Hill, to refrain from parking cars on the streets Saturday as much as possible in order to promote an efficient man agement of traffic In view of the ' unusually large crowd expected to attend the Duke Carolina football game, and since facilities for parking are limited, everyone is urged to cooperate with the police department by parking at other places than the streets.

This book is aimed to teach the stu dent the proper technique of writing, while the other two, "Elements of Spanish" and "Vamos a Ver!" were respectively grammar and review texts. .

CAMPUS FIGURES SPEAK AT HUGE PEP RALLY Program Forced Indoors By Rain; Broadcast By WPTF To the chant of "Beat Duke, beat Duke," and with that old familiar, "Let's go Carolina," the greatest pep rally in Carolina history got underway last night in Memorial hall with the proceedings being broadcast to a state-wide audience by station WPTF in Raleigh. . A slow, drizzling rain failed to dampen campus spirit, which reached a new peak list night, as thousands of students filed into the hall to yell their heads off for old Carolina and listen to inspiring talks by national as well as campus celebrities and blaring band music by the University band. Sarge Keller, the first speaker, re ceived rousing cheers as he predicted that, "Carolina will bring home the bacon tomorrow." A nationaiiy known figure and Carolina alumnus, Mrs. Estelle Law son Page added a still stronger note of confidence to the proceedings as she said, "Carolina has the best coaches, the best linemen, and the best backs.

According to (Continued on page two) Rain Will Favor Invading Dukes By SHELLEY ROLFE A drizzling rain which started late yesterday afternoon, con tinued into the night but was not forecast for today, loomed as the most important factor as the football teams of Duke and the University of North Carolina, conference titlist, prepared to meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock at Kenan stadium in a game that will decide the championship of the Southern conference. ; If it does rain today the fortunes flinn TTOHT A TT rTA of battle will tip heavily toward the BE TRIED TODAY Myers Will Direct Project At Game This afternoon !a second attempt at a successful card display will be made during the game. This idea, under the sponsorship of the University club and the direction of Tom -Myers, was tried at the Tulane game. . , All students interested in takine part in the project are requested to come to the stadium early as tickets to the special section reserved for the display will be given to those stating their preference. The display cards will be under the seat they belong to and complete di rections for use will be on a slip of paper fastened to the upper left-hand corner of the card.' The diagrams will not be called out as they were at the Tulane game but will be announced on a large piece of cardboard held up down in front of the stands. Several diagrams have been worked out in a simple system. These include spelling out "Duke," "Tar Heels", the N. C." insignia, and a "go" signal. Sometime after the half the cards (Continued on page two) undefeated Blue Devils, even though the stadium was covered with tar paulins before it started to drizzle yesterday afternoon. Duke depends on a straight power running attack and a sturdy line, a type of defense bothered neither by rain or world revolution. Carolina on the other hand has been boning all week on trick plays built upon passing, de Student passbook ticket No. 6 will be exchanged at Gate No. 6 Saturday for reserved'seat tickets. All student seats will be located between the 50- and 20-yard lines, so students are requested to sit in the seat called for on the ticket.

FRESHMAN HEAD THANKS AIDES Says Promises To Be Fulfilled Studen ts A ttack Local Man Two unknown assailants, believed to be Carolina students, leaped on the running board of Julius Page's car last night when he arrived at Fetzer field with hisNwife, Estelle Lawson Page, scheduled to speak at the pep rally, and struck him in the face. - 4 Mr. Page and his wife, former national woman's golf champion, drove to the track-stadium unaware that the Tally had been moved to Memorial hall, according to Mrs. R. B. Lawson, mother of Estelle, who accompanied them. ' Two boys who were standing by the rain soaked bonfie ran over to the Pages' auto, jumped on the side, and demanded, : "Where the hell is Sarge Keller?" When Mr. Page asked the speaker to watch his language, the boy reached in the open window and hit him below the eye, Mrs. Lawson stated. She said that both boys, whom she believed drunk, then fled. Before the golf champ went on the stage at Memorial hall she noticed one of the individuals that had confronted them at Fetzer. standing backstage. The boy disappeared, Mrs. Lawson said, when Mrs. Page asked a nearby student the unknown person's name. Police officers and Mr. Page were unable to locate the students last night, but the identity of one is believed known. Court action will be taken against them today, Mrs. Lawson remarked. Yesterday afternoon it was definite ly learned that Bill Shore, recently elected freshman president, was sick with diphtheria. However, this handi cap, and the fact that he could not see his aides did not prevent him from actively directing the affairs of the freshman class. By means of notes which he exchanged with his lieuten ants, he began to formulate plans for the fulfillment of his campaign promises. It could not definitely be learned just what directions were given, but they were mainlv in regard to fresh man social activities. When a note was sent up with an infirmary attendant asking for a statement, he wrote the following: "I wish to thank the entire fresh man class for their support, and their faith in a new kind of administration. They have elected me because I stand for certain things, and I don't mean to let them down. I mean to fulfill every one of my campaign promises. The only thing I'm really sorry about, is the fact that I won't be there with the rest of you when we lick Duke. See you soon fellows." According to current rumors, it is believed that this freshman adminis tration has planned to be one of the most vitriolic in the history of the University. Their objectives , and methods have no doubt marked an epoch in freshman elections. ceptive fake tosses and punts, and triple and quadruple reverses. Rain would play havoc with the effective ness of these plays. It rained once before at a Duke Carolina game, .and disaster trailed in its wake for the Tar Heels. That was back in 1935 when Carolina, under the helm of Carl Snavely, went into the game undefeated with a rosy dream of national championship hon ors. Snavely had whispered Rose Bowl to his boys, but Duke shattered all his dreams with a smashing 25-0 win on the wet, muddy turf of Duke stadium with the rain keeping the Tar Heels from opening up their vaunted passing attack. That game was the most decisive battle of the long traditional Duke Carolina rivalry since Wallace Wade, the Tennessee mountain man,' moved northward from Alabama to raise the Blue Devils into the front rank of football fame. 24-GAME RECORD The all-time record of play be tween the two schools is 13 wins for Probable line-ups: Duke Position Carolina Perdue le Severin Ribar.
