Uuke At Home Next Week To
Encounter Auburn Plainsmen
Undefeated Blue Devils Face Crucial
Test Next Two Saturdays.
Durham, Oct. 24—On ' a foreign
gridiron this week, the undefeated
Blue Devils of Duke will be at home
to North Carolina grid fans SaStur
day, November 4, by meeting Au
burn’s fine Southeastern conference
eleven in Duke stadium.
This week’s encounter with Kentuc
ky in far-away Lexington, Ky., and
the clash with the Plainsmen from
Auburn next week brings Duke to a
crucial period in its campaign. Both
these teams are strong and have been
pointing to the Duke game.
Kentucky, upset last Saturday by
Washington and Lee, will call from
the Blue Devils the same style of
play that Duke offered against Ten
nessee before they will bow. Auburn,
too, will have to be coped with at
full strength as they will bring a
veritable bevy of fine linesmen and
spectacular backs to Duke stadium.
These two games will test the Blue
Devils. They have gone undefeated in
their first four games this season,
being forced to extend themselves
only against Tennessee, defeating V.
M. I., Wake Forest and Davidson
handily.
Learning to think is not a mere
technique; it requires the backing of
character. There was never a great
scholar who was not a great char
acter. For this reason small men lack
1 the courage to change their minds.
