Midwest Storm Roars to East; Eight Are Dead CHICAGO, Nov. 19. (UP) One of the worst early-winter blizzards in years roared across the plains states' on its way to the East today, stranding trains and autos, cutting communica tions and isolating more than 100 towns. At least eight deaths were at tributed to the weather, includ ing four on icy highways. The storm piled up huge snow drifts and sheathed highways in ice across wide areas of Nebras ka, Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota. Heavy snows fell in Kansas as the mercury dropped and winds howled up to 85 miles an hour. Olritimcrs at Dodge City, Kansas, said the storm was the worst winter-opening blizzard in mem ory. Up to nine inches of snow blan keted much of South Dakota. At Delmont, S. D., snow plows ground toward a country school where 20 Children had been ma rooned for 24 hours. Kyser, Snavely Stea At Rained-Oui By Herb Natchman Dark skies and rain did away with the open-air pre-game pep rally . last night, but it didn't stop a packed Memorial hall from roaring through what Kay Kyser called "the most enthusiastic rally I've -ever seen." The torchlight parade and bon fire were called off and so was the scheduled broadcast from Duke. But it didn't stop Norm Sper and his staff of cheerleaders plus the cracks of Kyser, Coach Snavely and Joe Romano to keep more than 1,800 students on the edge of their seats for nearly two hours. A large confederate flag rid ing high on a fishing pole touch ed off the rally with the singing of "Dixie" followed by the usual yells and songs until the arrival of Kyser and his antics. "But Kyser's beautiful wife Georgia Carroll stole the show. After the third" bow she . finally quieted the .crowd with "I'm from Texas, If anybody had to beat Texas, I'm glad it was Caro lina." The Old Professor wasn't to be outdone by his wife. "Carolina is the only one that can beat Georgia and get away with it, I can't." .. Norm Spear tried to bringjiown the house when he put Snavely and Kyser on the .microphone together. K a y s e r introduced Snavely by saying, "Now, I want you to meet an assistant of mine, the greatest correspondence coach in America. Come on out, Carl." Snavely retaliated, "It's .been understood for quite a while that Kay is the chief coach at Caro lina. I'm glad that he's here so he can take full responsibi lity tomorrow." Kyser snapped right back with, Israel Accepts Palestine Truce; No Arab Answer PARIS, Nov. 19. (UP) Israel accepted the United Nations Se curity council order for a Pales tine armistice today and said it was ready for "the earliest possible" peace negotiations with the Arab states. In a telegram to acting media tor Dr., Ralph J. Bunche, Israel also announced it has withdrawn certain military forces from the Negcv in compliance with Se curity council orders, but would leave in the desert area of South Palestine the troops that were there Oct. 14, when the UN truce was broken. Bunche said that the Israeli reply, sent hours before the mid night deadline, was "gratilying. He interpreted it to mean tnat the Jews were ready to settle the Negev issue along the lines laid down by the Security council. Town Men's Association Nominates Taylor, Sharpe, Hoyle for Position Nelson Taylor, Dave Sharpe and Skip Hoyle were nominated Thursday by the Town Men's association as candidates for the presidency of the group in the fall election to be held Dec. 2.

GEORGIA CARROLL and KAY KYSER xOld Professor' Here To Help Beat Duke . By Bill Buchan Kay Kyser, Carolina's gift to the world of music, arrived at the Carolina Inn yesterday after noon with his wife, . the former Georgia Carroll, to witness to day's football classic in Kenan stadium. "I want the Tar Heels to beat Duke, period," Kyser said. "I'll settle for a one-point win." The only plans that the old professor of the musical kollege has for his visit here were to attend the pep rally last night and to' see the game this afternoon. "I don't think I will do any cheerleading this afternoon," he said, "because Norm Sper is do ing such an excellent job. Be sides that, I don't know any of the new cheers." He indicated, however, that he was looking forward to seeing the Carolina cheering section perform their famous card stunts today. There Harry Pendergast and Jimmy James. Buchan was elected as a per manent member of the Graham Memorial board of directors for a ,12 month term. The position was authorized by the Student legislature several weeks ago.- Retiring officers of the organi zation are John Van Hecke, presi dent; Alec Sessions, vice presi dent; Dan McGlauglin, secretary; and Gran Childress, treasurer. An open meeting of all town students was announced for Mon day night, Nov. 29, when all stu dents running for the Student legislature from town will be in vited to speak. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20;1943 I Show Rally receiving end tomorrow, we'd really have something. Our re ceiver doesn't give the passer any inspiration." One could hear a pin drop in the auditorium when Kyser be gan talking on Carolina spirit. He compared present cheering and spirit with the old days when he was a student here. To Norm Sper he said, I'"ve been checking (See 2? ALLY, page 6) was a slight indication, though, that Kyser might be "persuaded" to appear before the cheering section and lead some cheers. He and his wife will be seated in the guest box at the stadium. In the Inn yesterday afternoon, Kyser seemed concerned over the tarpaulin that was placed over the playing field to keep it as dry as possible. After Business manager Claude Teague stated that the tarp could not keep the field completely dry, Kyser offer ed suggestions as to how the tar paulin should have been placed. His last "game here was several years ago when Duke defeated the Tar Heels 6-3. "That year," Kyser said, "We were ahead at the half 3:0, then I walked across the field to make a broadcast and when I came back, we'd lost the ball game." "That's my main worry about being here today,""he added, "I'm afraid that I may be a Jonah for the team." Questioned about Charlie Spi vak's presence on the campus, the genial musician stated that he did not know whether he would be able to attend the dances or not. "However," he said, "Charlie is an old friend of mine. He has a fine band." He and Mrs. Kyser will leave Chapel Hill after the game to morrow and he plans to be in New York Monday. They have been visiting Kyser's mother in Rocky Mount for several days. Ava Gardner, the other North Carolina celebrity who was scheduled to appear here this weekend cancelled her reserva tion at the Inn yesterday, offi cials announced. To Va Undecided CHARLOTTE.

The judge, a UNC graduate, has two sons attending Duke and a third attending Norih Carolina. A family conference was scheduled today to decide father's stand while attending the Duke-Carolina clash to morrow. New Card Stunts Will Be Finest Ever Presented At halftime today, Tar Heel fans in the student card section, with the help of Head Cheerlead er Norm Sper, plan to perform the finest card stunts ever seen. Sper appealed to students who are going to be seated in the stunt section, "Let's put on a real show. Duke tried it and quit because they do not believe that the stunts can work. Be real careful." The most spectacular card stunt ever to be tried will be a picture of a gigantic fire-cracker with a long fuse. The fuse will proceed to burn and when it reaches the firing end, a large 'EOOM"' will replace the fire cracker. A blue splotch will then show up and cards will begin to flip until the white UNC takes its place. Meanwhile, the band will give a preview of the approaching sea-, son by a dramatization of "The night before Christmas." The drum major will be dressed as Santa Claus and the children will be acted out by the majorettes. The tuba players in the band will be reindeers and spell out the words Merry X'mas. During the game and the half, clouds of blue and white confetti will shower over the stands. The confetti will be sold before the game by members of the World Student Service Fund committee for ten cents a bag. Floats Float Down Streets In First Gigantic Parade By Lincoln Kan Two tooting locomotives choo chooed down Cameron avenue by staid South building yester day in a gigantic float parade of 23 automobiles and floats to open the Duke weekend festivi ties. Thousands of students and townspeople lined the village streets, laughing and cheering as the floats rolled by. Claudia Lee, campus beauty, rode atop the Kappa Sigma entry, defying the threatening cloudy, damp weather in nothing but a bathing suit and a short length fur coat. As the entries from dormitories, fraternities and sororities wended their way through the town and university streets. Chief of Police W. T, Sloan cleared the way personally in his car with siren blowing. The winners of the entries will be announced at the half of today's game.

The team has worked harder this week than at any other time this season.

Reserve Squadron To Be Activated Here Immediately Maj. Clyde C. Carter, USAFR, announced yesterday that an Air Reserve composite squadron is to be activated in Chapel Hill in the immediate future. According to Major Carter, the "composite squadron" is the first step in the organization of a full fledged reserve unit. Although there will be no compensation paid for drills with the composite squadron, a concerted effort will be made to get this unit up to the full strength of 134 officers that is required for a "table of organization and equipment" (TO-E) unit. If and when such a TO-E unit is organized, the mem bers will be paid for 12 drill ses sions per year. Major Carter also stated that a complete roster of officers and enlisted men for the new com posite squadron will be sent to the 14th Air Force headquarters on or about Dec. 1. All members of the air force reserve both officers and enlist ed men who are interested in being assigned to the Chapel Hill squadron should contact Major Carter at his office, 310 Bingham hall, immediately.

Following the talk by Kent, who is being brought to Chapel Hill by the International Re lations department of the Com munity club and the North Caro lina World Peace forum, a tea will be held. WEATHER Partly cloudy and colder. NUMBER 52 n uj(oy To Draw Renewal proved rapidly. The club's over all record now is four wins, two losses, and two ties. However, in their last two en gagements the Blue Devils have, racked up 82 points while beat ing George Washington, 62-0, and losing to Wake Forest 27-20. With a strong offense to go with its admittedly potent line, the Dukes can be counted on to give Caro lina a real battle today. Both student bodies are fired up for the game and another epic battle like the 1940 affair, when Carolina scored a surpris ing 6-3 upset over Duke, or 1935, when Duke smashed Carolina's Rose Bowl-bound team, 25-0,smay be in prospect. Last night, both schools stag ed massive pep rallies. At Caro lina the students participated in a float display, torchlight pa rade, andt one final pep rally in addition to attending the Charlie Spivak dance. Duke's cheerleaders were some what foiled in their plans Wed nesday night. A 50-foot high pile of wood for a giant bonfire was "accidentaly" burned ahead of the scheduled rally. Both teams appeared in good shape physically for the game. The Tar Heels, roaring down the stretch to a possible bowl bid, probably will be minus the services of Guard Bill Wardle, who has a leg injury. Wardle worked out lightly this week. Regular blocking back Don Hartig also remains on the in jured list. For the Blue Devils, only Tom my Hughes, first string .quarter back, will miss the game. Fred Folger and Bill Cox, Duke's two top tailbacks, apparently have recovered from injuries which have hampered them this year. So another individual duel be tween Fast Freight Folger and Choo Choo Charlie Justice ap pears likely. Most of the praises recently at Duke, however, have gone to one Jack Friedland, and not to Folger. Friedland is a hefty 190 pounder who has been going great guns at wingback for the Devils. He got off an 82-yard touchdown gallop against Wake Forest tad generally has been impressive with his work thus far. Coach Wade is expected lo call on his newly-introduced Duke version of the T-formation. A1- ways a staunch advocate of the single wing style of offense, Wade amazed the sports public of this State by trying out the T against Wake Forest two weeks ago. The pi an worked well against the surprised Deac ons. Wauc, however, had no oc casion to use it in the C2-0 rout (See CAROLINA, page 4) Sokolovsky Hits British Refusal BERLIN, Nov. 19. (UP) Mar shal Vassily D. Sokolovsky, Sovi et commander in Germany, said tonight that the Berlin problem could be solved easily, but that Britain has refused to accept ba sic principles agreed on by th'j Big Four powers in Moscow. Sokolovsky told correspon dents of the. Soviet-controlled German press that Gen. Sir Bri an Robertson, British commander in Germany, wrecked the Berlin negotiations in September by re fusing to adhere to the Moscow directives. "The proposals of the British commander in Berlin strongly deviated from the principles of the Four Power directive of Au gust 30," Sokolovsky said. "Which again goes to show that the Brit ish commander is not even striv ing to achieve an agreement n the basis of the directive."
