And, speaking of reciprocity, we may step a little talent with the Duke men.

This will be the first time Carolina has had a sing since Pete Ivey's reign as director of Graham Memorial three years ago.

Only a rear guard force has been left to defend Koritza, the Albanian civilians reported, as they fled the town to German lines. In a smashing dawn attack under a heavy mist screen the Greek evzones hearty mountain fighters threw a ring around Koritza and occupied the houses on the outskirts. These troops reported that Italian flags still were flying from a govern ment official's home. The food problem also was said to be acute on the southern front. Italian prisoners said that the Fascist legions isolated there were eating dead mules in some cases and that others had been starved into surrender.

"Gosh, they must have a power house!" he moaned. "But," he said, brightening a little from the doldrums, "our bag of tricks may get us a score." "And -if we do score," he added, a trace of a smile lighting his stalwart features, "just think of the money we'll make selling the shoes of the man that makes the historical touch down." No Secret Practice "Since thev are so sure of them selves, it Von't be necessary to hold niir nractices secretly they won't bother to have a scout present. This is definitely humiliating.'' "You know, it's a funny thing, the boys on the senior team don't share Elliot's view of the game.

Y Sponsors Classic Today Negro Teams Play - In Benefit Game Today marks the 11th year that the University YMCA has sponsored a benefit negro football game, the entire net proceeds of which will go toward a fund supporting a trained nurse for the colored population of Chapel HilL This afternoon at 2 o'clock two negro ..teams, one from the - Orange County Training School of Chapel Hill, and one from W. S. Creecy high school of Rich Square, will clash on Fetzer field in a game expected, from advance ticket sales, to draw a large crowd. The campus janitors are going to do their part toward filling twhat they see as an obvious community need. Besides busily selling tickets they will entertain the spectators between halves with what promises to be a hilarious game of tag football. Officials of the big game will be Hank Pessar, referee, Al Mathes, um pire, and Frank Doty, head linesman. Svd Alexander is chairman of, the committee making arrangements for the whole affair. Ed Maner is handling the main ticket booth.

The admission price is 25 cents. 'Poppa' Blake, Fat Cop, Philosopher, Poet, Says Hitler Will Lose and Right Prevail By Vivian Gillespie The fat campus cop, "Poppa" Blake, standing well back on his heels with his weight thrown forward as fat peo ple do, pulled a piece of paper out of his breast pocket. It was a poem about Hitler. On the back of the paper was a long list of names Abernathy, An nie Francis, Dorm 2 . . . Bates, Anne C Dorm 2 . . . Bunkemeyer, Selma, Dorm.l ... but they didn't count. They were just part of the census, or maybe the cop found the list in the waste- basket, where those things end up. It was the poem that mattered. "I don't know as I should show you this," he wheezed doubtfully, his little eyes peering at me from his large face. "Those fifth-columnists I hear rumors about, or some of them pro-Germans might get me. Why just yesterday somebody told me that them people tried to poison the water at Fort Bragg. And last night, when Presi dent Roosevelt made some instance about the . dictators Hitler in his speech, several in the congregation booed him for making such remarks. They don't stop at nothing." For Art's Sake Shaking his head forebodingly, but sacrificing personal safety for art's sake, he handed over the paper. The typewritten words covered most of the page, but left a wide margin like a T-stick on the left and bottom. The poem simply began, with no title. It didn't need any. Once there was a man sentenced to jail for a crime, While, doing his time many wild thoughts 'came to his mind. He thought of many things he would by force, make come true, - Of course such ideas only come to one except when rabid and blue.

The Raleigh News and Observer ran a reproduction of the headline on the front page of its sports section. Alert Anthony J. McKelvin, sports editor, remarked on the ingenuity of making the second "A" in "Again" from . an inverted "V." The Tar Heel staff was amazed, be cause no one had even noticed it. An investigation showed that the convert ing was done several years ago. The Associated Press picked up the item and sent it to virtually every paper in the state.

Celebration Will Be Held At Bell Tower Carolina's student body will take part in its final football pep rally of the year this afternoon at 6 o'clock with a mass demonstration at the Bell Tower. - A gigantic sendoff has been planned for the Tar Heel gridders as they board busses carrying them to Char lottesville for the traditional tangle with the Virginia Cavaliers tomorrow afternoon. A corps of drummers will beat a staccato tattoo in the upper quad rangle of men's dormitories imme diately preceding the event to remind the students of the spirit session. The University band will be on hand to provide music for the four im mortal Carolina fight songs: "Hark the Sound," "Tar Heels on Hand," "Song of the Cheerios," and the "Carolina Victory March." Ringing yells of gratitude for the team's performance against Duke last Saturday and for victory against Vir ginia will be led by the University cheerleaders. Song sheets bearing the words to the songs and yells will be distributed by the University club, Ferebee Tay lor, president of the organization, an nounced yesterday. "We Appreciate Saturday" In commenting on the rally, Taylor said, "We are attempting to let the team know how much we appreciate what they did for us in Kenan stad ium Saturday and to show them that we have not let our spirit lag since that day. We are more than ever, wholeheartedly behind the team and expect the whole student body to be out there this afternoon to tell them so in their own words."
