BLUEDEVILS GET READY
FOR FIRST ’33 GRID CLASH
DURHAM, N. C., SEPT. 26-Coach
Walaee Wade is putting the finishing
touches on his Duke University Blue
Devils preparatory to opening their
1933 schedule with V. M. I. in Greens
boro Saturday night, September 30.
The backfield problems that faced
the Duke mentor when practice start
ed—finding a signal caller and a block
ing back—have been about worked
out and the combination he is run
ning in the Duke camp now will be
given their first trial under fire
against the Flying Cadets from Vir
ginia.
That quarter is composed of Horace
(Horse) Hendrickson as quarterback,
Nick Lancy and Corky Cornelius,
halfbacks, and Bob Cox, fullback. All
earned their letters last year but only
Laney was a regular during the 1932
campaign.
In the line Harry Rossiter, star
triple-threat end, Rom Rogers and
Earle Wentz, all veterans, have been
alternating at the ends; the great
Freddie Crawford and A1 Means, tac
kles; Captain Carl Shock and Jack
Dunlap, guards; and E. B. Dunlap,
center.
Duke’s first trio of games are as
hard as any team in the south faces.
After the opener with V. M. I. the
Devils play on successive Saturdays
in Duke stadium the Demon Deacons
of Wake Forest and Tennessee’s pow
erful Vols.
Tennessee is slated to be one of the
best teams in the country this year
and have already been picked by
most of the coaches to win the South
eastern conference title. It will pro
bably be the bigest obstacle on
Duke’s 1933 card.
Greensboro officials who are put
ting on the Duke-V. M. I. game are
making many plans for a colorful
i contest. A mammoth parade of eol
j lege students is planned for the night
! of the game, marching through town
to the stadium and special trains are
going to be run from various points
in Virginia to the contest, the first
Southern conference game of the sea
son and the first since the split in
the ranks last December.
Mrs. Ellen Parks is spending a few
days in Winston-Salem.
BIRDS OF ALLEGHANY CO.
THE REDSTART
(By Claude J. Smith.)
I believe the warblers are the most
interesting family of birds and the
redstart is one of the most beautiful
of the family. The male has the head,
neck, breast, and back glossy black,
withlower breats and underparts
white. The sides of body, wing lin
ings, and part of tail feathers bronze
red. End of tail feathers are black.
The female is olive brown where her
mate is black, and yellow where he
is orange-red. They are constantly on
the alert, and are very numerous in
the autumn migration. On September
11, I saw a large flock of over 200
warblersamong which were over 80
redstarts. It certainly was a sight to
see those warblers flitting thru the
trees, catching insects. These birds
are found in woods and bushes near
woods. Like all warblers, they are
never still. I first see these birds in
April, and do not see them in the fall
after about mid-October. They nest
near my home, and have a beautiful
short song. I found my first nest this
year on June 5, in a dogwood sapling
about 10 feet from the ground. It
was carefully constructed of moss,
plant fibres, horsehair, and grasses,
and contained four srhall white eggs,
specked with brown and lilac. War
blers are strictly a new world family
and are strongly unknown to those
who do not seek, their acquaintance
at proper seasons.
CAROLINA AND DAVIDSON
TO CLASH SATURDAY
Chapol Hill, Sept. 27—It will be a
ease of line versus backfull when
Davidson and Carolina resume one
of the oldest rivalries in the South
in Kenan Stadium here Saturday af
ternoon, September 30, at 2:30 P. M.
And judging by the advance sale
of tickets through the University
ticket office, a large number of fans
are planning to be on hand to see the
Tar Heels open their season with the
Wildcats.
Not only have tickets for the game
been reduced, but the University Ath
letic Council is offering season tickets
for $6.00 plus a 10 per cent federal
tax, making the total $6.60. This
price represents a reduction of ap
proximately 50 per cent.
