Down In Front

ONCE UPON A TIME in the ereat Cir r-.f Rn tw.
Mother Horner, a great teller of fairy tales and myths. And in
that same city there dwelt a band of wicked devils, great warriors
in their own right, but when their feats were described by Mother
Horner, they struck fear deep & the hearts of their opponents.
Mother Horner exalted these devils daily, and because of her posi
tion as Herald, she was able to tell all of the citizens of the Bull
City of the prowess of their clan. For years he had written of these
devils, followed them through lean years and fat years lauding
their merits when ever possible.
Then one year it became evident that the devils had potentially
their greatest band of warriors in years. Friend and foe recog
nized them as some of the most fearful fighters in the surrounding
country. In their first encounter the devils met an army composed
of nothing but generals. With no privates to do the work the gen
erals were sent in complete rout. In their second battle the devils
traveled far across the country to face a wild herd of mustanes.
After a struggle they eoralled the mustangs and returned home-
only to be faced by a bunch of volunteer riflemen. Sizing up the
situation the devils laid an ambush and the volunteers were sent
limping back over the mountains.
Duelling Cavaliers
WITH THREE FOES already conquered the devils were sent out
to meet a band of fighting roosters. But they heavily outweighed
the bantams and when the skirmish had ended the gamecocks had
been plucked. The devils returned home to find wolves threatening
the door. But when they met the wolf pack they found that the
animals were toothless and clawless. It was little trouble to handle
them. The followers of the devils, led by Mother Horner, were
elated. Tkeir ferocious warriors had
opponents and were undefeated. But then cries of supporters of a
troop of dueling cavaliers roared into the Bull City and the devils
were sent northward for a showdown. When they met the dueling
cavaliers they learned that the points of the swords were dulL They
went out and sliced the cavaliers forward wall to ribbons, conquered
the rear forces, and went back to the City of Bull victors in their
sixth straight battle.
Now, during the time that the devils had done battle and re
turned victorious, Mother Horner had stirred the followers to a key
pitch. This new band of devils was compared to the devils of old
warriors who had gone through an entire campaign unscathed. This
new band of devils had a valiant leader a rich nobleman. When
he went into the first encounter he had a fortune of thousands, but
battle by battle that fortune seemed to grow. Mother Horner and
his followers padded his bank book and soon he was a millionaire,
then a two millionaire, and so on, until after the engagement with
the dueling Cavaliers he was being called a billionaire. With such
a fortune amassed the leader could do no wrong and the devils
were being touted by Mother Horner and her flock as the greatest
warriors in the country.
A Measured Measure
BUT IN A LAND SOUTH of the City of Bull a group of engi
neers had gotten together. They had heard the fairy tales corning
out of the Bull City, but placed little faith in them. They got out
their drawing boards, compassed, and protractors, studied all the
angles and then headed for Bull City. When they arrived in the
fair town they found a joyous folk. With a billionaire as leader
and six straight conquests under their girths, the devils could do
no wrong.
But the engineers had discounted all of the myths of the mighty
devils. They had studied the angles. They went into battle with
the devils and before they had finished they had rambled at will to
wreck the devils the first loss in seven campaigns. They brought
on a depression that almost bankrupted the billionaire. The people
were amazed. They had seen the devils perform before and had
read Mother Horner's stories. How could their devils be beaten?
But then an answer was given. These engineers were more ex
perienced in battle, their reserve forces were deeper. The devils
were still young and not yet ready to take them. It wouldn't hap
pen again.
But the very next week a vast navy sailed up to the city s ports

to provide the Tar Heels punch.
The Duke team, rated in the
top ten most of the season, is led
by sophomore quarterback Worth
Lutz. Lutz took over the Blue
Devil split-T when quarterback
Jerry Barger was hurt in last
year's Carolina-Duke game, and
has kept the post since. Lutz's
passing is one of the top Duke
offensive weapons, giving the
Blue Devils & last second win
over SMU earlier in the season.
His favorite receiver is end How
ard Pitt.
One of the best defensive lines
in the country, and the running
of some fast and powerful backs
provide the rest of Duke's power.
The defensive forward wall is
headed by two tremendous
tackles, Tank Lawrence and
Country Meadows, and a hard
driving guard, captain Lou Tepe.
Another Duke defensive stand
out, guard Bobby Burrows is,
and let loose a barrage that rocked the devils again. Some of the ! still sidelined from a broken an-
d evils had been wounded in the fray with the engineers and could
not meet the navy. The sailors took advantage and again the devils
sank to defeat. The next battle found the staggering (although
no one would admit that point) devils against a flock of deacons.
Somehow they made it through the battle, although severely threat
ened in the final stages, and sacreligiously whipped the churchmen.
In The Land Of Tar Heelia
NOW, ALL THE WHILE these devils were going into battle
their neighbors in Tar Heelia were doing likewise, but with con
trasting success. The forces of Tar Heelia had been suffering recent
lean years and in hope of fattening their flock had changed from
their usual battle formation to a new one, much the same as that
of the devils. They had worked on it long and hard but because
of previous commitments were forced to experiment with it against
some of the strongest forces in the nation. They opened their cam
paign against a herd of longhorns and were severely gored. Then
vL,hn it spumed that thev would meet some weaker foes and would
get a chance to improve their new battle formation, the land of
Tar Heelia was stricken with a plague. The Tar Heelians were
forced to withdraw from battles with biting bulldogs and the same
band of toothless wolves that had been downtrodden by the devils.
When they reutrned to battle they met the deacons, who were
later to fall to the devils, and it seemed for a blasphemous moment
that they might come out victorious. But the deacons gave one
final kick and won the battle. Then the path went further down
ward for the Tar Heelians. They were completely routed by the
infamous Notre Dragon. The volunteer rifleman had recovered from
the ambush of the devils and with their snapshooting gave the
Tar Heelia forces a tremendous licking. Then came the dueling
cavaliers, who, after making sure their swords were sharpened this
time, sliced the Tar Heelians for their fifth straight defeat.
' No Happy Ending
DURING THIS TIME that the devils had been ever-winning
and ST Tax Heelians ever-losing, Mother Homer and to
had filled the war pages with praise for .5

Fullback Jack Kistler, his alter

Charlie Smith, Red Smith, and
Lloyd Caudle lead the Duke run

riodically injured this year, but
the whole Blue Devil squad is in
top shape for today's game, with
the exception of one freshman
tackle.
Charlie Smith, followed close

most consistant ground-gainer
this year. Piney Field, a fleet
155-pound scatback, has been out
standing for the Blue Devils on
kickoff and punt returns, and is
always a scoring threat." Billy
Lea is another defensive stand
out and is one of the best pass
defenders on the team.
The last upset in a Carolina

underdog Carolina squad best
Duke, 6-3. The Blue Devils hold
a slight edge over Carolina in
the series since the 1940 upset
because in 1943 the teams played

Black, Byrd
Best Rookies
Special to Thk Daily Tab Hett.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21 Joe
Black of Brooklyn and Harry
Byrd of the Philadelphia A's, a
pair of fine pitchers, were named
Rookies of the'Year today by the
Baseball Writers Association of
America.
Black was an overwhelming
choice in the National League
with 19 votes from the 24-man
committee which also placed him
third in the most valuable play
er balloting.
Byrd, a late blooming hot shot,
nosed out two catchers, Clint
Courtney of the St. Louis Browns
and Sam White of the Boston
Red Sox in a three-man race.
Byrd got nine votes, Courtney
The feats of Black are known
eight and White seven,
because his relief work was lar
gely responsible for the Dodger
pennant. An also-rain in spring
training, Black appeared in only
six games up to June 1. Then he
started to work.
At stretches, Manager Charley
Dressen had the Negro ace work
ing every day. He wound up with
56 games, a 15-4 won and lost rec
ord and a low earned run aver
age of 2.15.
That earned run mark was best
in the league but it won't be rec
ognized because he did not pitch
10 complete games or work at
least 154 innings.
Byrd made the big jump from
Savannah of the South Atlantic
League to the majors with great
success. He finished with a 15-15

Wake Forest, 14-7 victims of
Duke last week, trael to Green-;
ville, S. C. today to meet the
Purple Hurricane of Furman in
a contest which will probably be
a battle of offenses.
A brilliant passing contest ap-l
pears in the making with Fur
man's duo of Gene Pedrick and
Roland Barefoot opposing Wake
Forest's twosome of Charles
(Sonny J George and Captain
Jack Lewis. Pedick has complet
ed 39 of 77 passes for 566 yards
with Barefoot being on the re
ceiving end of 17 of those aerials.
Likewise, George has a good
record of 51 completed passes in
121 efforts for 647 yards. Captain
Lewis has caught 17 of these for
217 yards, four less than Bare
foot. Wake Forest's No. 1 pass re
ceiver. Bob Ondilla, will miss the
game due to a collarbone injury
suffered on the opening kickoff
of the Duke game last Saturdal.
Ondilla had caught 22 aerials for
313 yards prior to the Duke con
test but missed all but 20 seconds
of the game with the Blue Devils.
The Wolfpack of N. C. State
travels to Williamsburg, Va., this
weekend to William and Mary
and will be counting on a junior
varsity graduate to put some life
into their heretofore listless of
fense.
Eddie Frantz, a 5-19, 165-pound
freshman from Charlotte who
performed brilliantly last week
the quart erbacking duties for
as a substitute, will take over
Coach Horace Hendrickson to
day. He took over the Wolfpack
team midway in the third quarter
against Pittsburg and led the
team on an 86-yard march for
State's only touchdown.
William and Mary will be a
21 -point favorite to hand State
its seventh defeat of the season,
but the Indians will have to keep
a sharp eye on Mr. Frantz.

tinued to threaten but because they had placed their faith in the
fairy stories of Mother Horner they had not planned to win and
because they had not planned to win, they couldn't deliver the
telling blow. In the final-stages of the fray the devils pulled a sneak
attack and hit the Tar Heelians on their end zone for the deciding
blow.
With the battle ended the people of Tar Heelia sat in amaze
ment and stared at each other. Why, these devils were not what
Mother Horner had said they were. And their leader was no bil
lionaire. And as for the Tar Heelian warriors with just a little
more push on the flank and an extra thrust up the middle, the
outcome would have been different. But the fact remained that
Mother Horner had another fairy tale to telL The Tar Heelians
had been duped and the devils had caught them sleeping in then
own little beds of defeat. The battle was over. It was too late to
change the plans to win! Once again the devils returned to the
City of Bull victorious. And once again, because Mother Horner
and her devils had caught them with their pants at their knees,
the Tar Heelians bowed losing their most important battle of the
year. -
Moral to the story: Don't put much faith in fairy tales. They don t
always have a happy ending. ,
