PAGE FOUR SPORT SLANTS Duke And Her Team It looks like Duke University has a real football team this year. The two games that she has played proved that the players had something that would be hard to beat. Os course these two teams were not as strong as some that Duke will meet this year but they were strong enough to test out the Duke boys and show whether they knew much about football or not. This Saturday will find Duke playing the Pre-Flight boys from Carolina. Duke should also win this game. The Pre-Flighters have a good team but it is evident that they do not have the team that they had last year and will not win the games that were won last year. The University of North Carolina has a better team than the Pre-Flight and since Duke plays this team twice this season we may get some good thrills before the season is over. On the other hand all of this may be just talk and Duke could flop during the first real test. As matters now stand we have an idea that Duke could easily go through the season undefeated. Only time will tell about any football team. COMPANY B FROM BUTNER PUTS ON VERSATILE (continued from front page) mother in this war, whose son was at Hickham Field with Sgt. Humphries, and Cpl.
