By J. S. Merritt It’s Hard and Unfair • l When a coach and his entire squad put in a hard week s work for a scheduled game and then receive a message about two hours before playing time that their opposition has an other game and won’t be able to report, it is both disgusting and discouraging. Well, that exactly what has happened to Coach George Wirtz and his Ramblers for the past two weeks- We can’t understand why a school would allow such a thing to happen. It not only gives the school a bad name, but also makes you wonder about certain parts of the state sys tem. In our way of thinking, sports are a vital factor in any school. It not only builds character and strength among the boys and girls, but puts the school in the mind’s eye of the public in general, and when a schooi does not live up to that certain code of sports ethics, patrons and observers cast a slightly downward look on every department of the institu tion. . It’s a known fact that publicity helps make a person, or| project, and it’s also known that the Roxboro High School Ramblers have taken for themselves and the school many friends this year that they would not have gained if it hadn t been for that football team. O-O-O-O-O-O- Carolina vs. Duke Many people from this county will be going to Chapel Hill next Saturday to see Carolina and Duke play football.' Many others will want to go, but not being able to get tickets they will remain at home by their radios. If the stadiums' at Duke or Carolina could hold the crowd this game would j possibly draw fifty or sixty thousand fans each year. | Duke is supposed to win the game next Saturday. On paper she rates much .stronger than Carolina. Whether she does win or not remains to be seen. The Carolina boys are not go ing to concede anything until the game is over. They are go-; ing in against all odds and fight ali way- It would be the same way in the part, of the Dukes if Carolina happened to be | favored. After Duke plays Carolina she has one more so called big game on her schedule. The Devils play Pitt and this game' was originally scheduled as a big game. During the past two or three years Pitt has faded from big time football and so the game can no longer be called a big one.

Harris 11-3-2 ts o Non-Scratch Cat i Found For Show Preston Sturges, the write l- di rector of “Christmas In July,” which opens Monday at the Dol ly Madison Theatre, co-starnng Dick Powell and Ellen Drew, had a difficult problem confront him in making the picture. He had to find a trained black cat. There is a scene in the picture in which Ellen Drew steps on a cat’s tail. The cat rares up and protests to high heaven against such maltreatment of its poster ior appendage, but it does not scratch the shapely legs of Miss Drew.

So, it must be a cat which is not hurt when someone steps on its tail, and yet the step on the tail must be a signal for the cat to yell, so the cat must be train ed.
