The air is tense with the cuniinu
football game between Duke a i i -1
Southern California. All that can be
leanl in sports circles is a discussioji
il' who will win. Some say California,
: .ut most Southerners predict Duke.
Coach Wallace Wade has taken
:iree previous teams from Alabama
o the Rose Bowl and has yet to be
icaten there, although he tied one
:anif. The only coach to have a
better record in the Bowl is Howard
I niies. Southern California mentor,
who appeared three times with the
Trojans and came out victorious in
ill the games.
These two pi-eat coaches, rated as
hp best in the country, will meet next
Monday in what is predicted to be
, .ne of the hardest fought games in
he history of football.
The main object in Wade coming to
Duke was to produce a team that
.viHild play in the Rose Bowl. The
ish has been granted and the Dukes
:ave an excellent chance of winning
v national game.
The Dukes have created more pub
licity than the entire advertising
..unpaign that was put on in North
Carolina, and a form of advertising
' li.it could not be bought at any price.
It is our opinion that it will not be
lung until Coach Weatherby will have
-anno, promising material for his
Mountaineers in the way of gridmen.
From the amount of foo'tballs that
Santa delivered last Saturday night,
plenty of youngsters seem to be inter
ested in the game.
Although the weather was wet and
void, it was hot4inusuaI to see several

After handing Crabtree a double

Ratcliff are optimistic over the pros
pects of a winning team both in the
girls and boys division.
The game next week will be one of
the hoadliners of the season, as both
teams are bitter rivals. Clyde has
played several games already this
season and will present a fast team

Wallace Wade's lllue Devils arrived

and the team went straight to their
quarters.
Active practice bean Monday with
the team in splendid condition with
the exception of muscle cramp from
the long train ride across the conti

the outcome of the 'game arid believes
that Duke Will not make the showing:
they would have made if the game
had been played at home or soon after
the Duke-Pitt frame, The boys are
nQt in the pink of physical condition,
but before the game starts most of
this will be well taken care of.
Coach Wallace Wade has neve! been
a publicity hound, that was proven
when he refused any spectator.s to
watch his teani drill, not even the
reporters that accompanied the team
from North 'Carolina.. He detailed a
squad of special policemen to guard
against any outside interruption of
the practice. He stated that the team
had some hard work to perform and
he did not want to be bothered.
Around two hundred Tar Heel fans
accompanied the team to California
on the special train, and several hun
