Southern Conference Classic
Begins Here This Afternoon
Records Point to Three-Way Track Battle
Among Carolina, VMI, and Duke University
By Art Shain
Top trackmen in the Carolinas and Virginia will strut their stuff
this afternoon at 3:30 on Fetzer Field when track and field trials
open the Southern Conference Outdoor Track meet. Field prelim
inaries will begin at 3:30, track at 4:00.
The records point toward a three-way fight between Duke,
Carolina and VMI. Carolina is very weak in the weight events but
"strong in the middle and distance
events, while VMI and Duke are
powerful in the weights and
sprints.
Defending Champs
Since only three defending
champs have returned for this
year's classic, most events
threaten to be wide open affairs.
The defending titlists are Duke's
Bob Gantt in the discus, North
Carolina's Rich Van Wagoner
in the mile and South Carolina's
Riley in the 100 and 220 dashes.
If Mof f att Storer has recover
ed sufficiently from a leg injury,
the Duke ace should snatch the
sprint crown from Riley. Storer
has run the 100 yd, dash in 9.6
seconds, making him one of the
swiftest trackmen in the nation.
With times of 9.9 are William
and Mary's McFall, Davidson's
R. R. Lacy and Clemson's Mor
gan. Landau of N. C. State has
the best time of 10 seconds flat,
Wales, VMI, 10.1. Representing
Carolina in the sprints are stal
warts, Ted Shultz and Henry
Stevens.
Quarter-Mile
Blue Devil Seeman, winner
against UNC last week heads the
field in the quarter, mile dash.
Carolina's Don Nelson forced
Seeman to the limit last Satur
day and should come out among
the top this week-end. Only 440
yard place returning from last
year is Tar Heel Jim Kelly. J.
Perrin rounds out the top Caro
lina auartermilers. Racing for
A
N. C. State in the event are

Danes Look To de Kauffmann for Guidance
Danish People Continue To Resist Germans
By Gloria Caplan
In the editorial office of the
biggest Danish daily, the Polj
tiken, the Germans are con
fronted with a huge portrait of
Winston Churchill. Strangest
part about the mocking decora
tion is that the Nazis can't do
anything about it, since it was
taken from the front page of a
Berlin weekly.
Such incidents are typical of
the defiance Danes are employ
ing toward their guests. Fore
most among those Danish rebels
is Henrick de Kauffmann the
Danes' minister in Washington,
whose independent attitude since
the invasion has laeen a source of
irritation for the Nazis. ;
De Kauffmann -
De Kauffinann, scheduled to
appear on the International Re
lations club rostrum next Tues
day night , although disowned by
his country's coalition govern-
phasized unceasingly that the
declarations and actions of the
Danish rnvfirnment do not ex-
ment, keeps in constant touch . press its true sentiments and
with his people and through ra
dio messages to them. It is to
him and their King Christian X
that the Danish' people look for
guidance in their dealings with
the Nazis the highsign for sab
otage and disobedience.
- Kauf f mann's 32 years of dip
lomatic experience in seven
countrys, and his unique posi
tion of enjoying the complete
confidence of the American
State department but having no
one but himself to account for,
makes him an interesting per
sonality and a source of authen
tic information.
j "We . Danes abroad who can
speak and act freely have em-
wishes; they must be viewed!
upon a background of the Ger
man threats and the whole
emergency."
Despite German threats, Dan
ish resistance has never lost mo
mentum. Typical of their fear
lessness is King Christian's per
sonal defiance. Upon the receipt
of a flowery telegram of con
gratulations on his birthday
from Hitler last September,
Christian replied curtly, "Thank
you. Christian Rex." A month
later the Danish minister in Ber
lin was told his presence was no
longer required -the beginning
of a long series of German de
mands. -.
The Office of War Informa
tion today announced publication
of the third in a series of pamph
lets entitled "Toward New Ho
rizons" containing the texts of
recent addresses by Madame
Chiang Kai-shek, Walter Nash,
Governor Harold E. Stassen,
Raymond Gram Swing, Eric A.
Johnston, former Senator George
W. Norris and Wendell. L. Will
kie. This publication, according to
a foreword by Elmer Davis, Di
rector of OWI, is in line with
OWI's policy of publishing oc
casional statements and speeches
by men and women who have no
connection ? with the Govern
ment, so that "citizens of the
United States may be, familiar
with differing points of view re
garding the United Nations and
the post-war world."
The addresses contained in the
pamphlet published today, he
said, are "relevant because of
the light they throw on think
ing about the world that lies be
yond the war." Mr. Davis point
ed out that: publication of the
speeches by OWI "carries no im
plication that they represent the
official nolicv of the Govern-
ment."

the better night clubs and amuse
ment spots including a long stop
at the Palisades Park, New Jersey.
Popularity
Proof of the popularity of the
organization is that this group
was chosen to introduce the song,
"Every Night About This Time."
This song later became one of the
season's top tunes.
The band is made up entirely
of Duke students. Sammy
Fletcher has been doing an ef
