THE DUCHY
' Now. take thii Duke outfit.
"You probably know nothing
of tha school outside of iti foot
ball team. I didn't until read
ing Mr. A. A. Wilkinson's pub
licity outburst regarding the in
stitution itself.
' Duka, detplt its hoary.
103-yar-old ,8,, "is in th
lull vigor of its youth." says
Mr. Wilkinson. Actually Duke
il only 17 yaars old. But its
predecessor, tiny Trinity col
lege, was 8S when James B.
Duke laid $40,000,000 on the
line and told the Trinities to
Shoot the works.
Up to 1924, Trinity was a
small, sound southern college
drawing- students from North
Carolina and nearby states.
Then James B., tobacco and
water-power magnate and na
tive of Durham, came along
with his dollars.
' In practically no time at all,
15,000 carloads of stone were
dug from nearby quarries and
$26,000,000 sunk into "a ver
itable city" of Gothic buildings.
The city is dominated by a
stately towered cathedral-chapel
complete with a 50-bell carillon
high in the tower.
Grays predominate in the
veritable city, says Mr. Wilkin
son, but "there are a half-dozen
other soft tones in the stone."
Duke's home town manu
factures 125 brands of cigar
ettes and about one-fourth of
all the cigarettes made in this
country.
Duke has 15,000 living alum
ni counting the Trinities
many of them, it says, with dis
tinguished names and among
them some who have served in
presidential cabinets and in the
United States senate.
Educationally and culturally
the home of the Devils boasts
the discovery of a serum which
prevents or cures sleeping sick
ness in horses. It brags of a li
brary containing 600,000 books
and 700,000 manuscripts, includ
ing some of the country's best
collections on Latin American
history.
. Geographically. Duke Is ap
parently a combination of
Wyoming spaciousness and
Manhattan architecture. Sur
rounding the main university
unit are BOO acres of "bau- '
tifully landscaped grounds in
cluding a formal terraced
garden. Adjoining the campus
is the SOOO-acre Duke forest
and the outdoor laboratory
of the Graduate school of for
estry. Duke has a 570-bed general
hospital and 100 full-time scien
tific' investigators in the school
of medicine.
Duke employs 1900 persons
and has an enrollment of 3716.
It looks like "rags versus
riches" in the "Tobacco. Bowl."
BOXER DIES

Freshmen May Play
On Coast Elevens
LOS ANGELES, Dec 18 UP)
Wot. John Olmsted of UCLA,
president of the Pacific Coast
conference, predicts that fresh
men will be playing on varsity
squads in the far west beginning
next fall.
He said the matter would be
taken up at the June meeting of
the conference. It was mention
ed at the recent Palm Springs
confab.
"During the first World war,
freshmen were allowed to play
on varsity teams," he recalled.
"With many of the older college
men being called into the service
it looks as if the same procedure
will be followed for 1942."

Take your hammer and saw

inner tubes.
Who guarantees results from
this strange concoction? That
versatile department of agricul
ture again. It has put out an
economy Christmas toy booklet
for guidance of its home manage

Let s explain the Inner tubes
first. Ever thought of making
Junior a drum out of them one
with a nice low, thumping
boom? Take a large coffee can,
smoothly opened at both ends.
Cut two circles of inner tubing
large enough to fit over the ends
with an inch to spare. Then
lace the two circles together zig
zag, back and forth with hea,vy
cord or shoelaces and pull as
taut as you dare. Braid a length
of cord to let the drum hang
around the drummer-boy's neck
and finish off with drumsticks.
You make a drumstick by wad
ding cotton around the end of a
stick and fastening some cloth
over it very securely.
To further the band idea how
about sewing two paper plates
together, face-to-face, and add
ing five or six little silver bells
around the edge for a merry
tambourine?

Beaver Win 10, Lota
8, Tie One in Past
Intertectional Gomel
By FRED HAMPSON
CORVALLIS. Oro Dec. 18 UP)
Oregon State, which entrains to
morrow for North Carolina to
play Duko on New Year's day in
the transplanted Rose bowl
game, has behind It a tradition
for being only so-so in interscc
tional football.
Tho Durham duel with Duke
will be tho 20th Intcrsectionnl
engagement since OSC went in
for football. Of the previous
19 none has been in the Rose
bowl the Beavers won 10, lost
eight and tied one.
Two victories were against op
ponents hardly of major football
status, the Hawaiian All-Stars
and the University of Hawaii,
beaten during an island voyage
in itws.
Tho Beaver record would be
a lot better if Conch Lon Stlncr
had side-stepped a trio of games
with the University of Nebraska,
his alma mater, in 1933-35-36.
The Huskies whipped OSC 22-0.
26-20 and 3214. Long before
Stiner ever thought of coaching
at Oregon Stato, Nebraska took
a couple of falls out of the Bea
vers, 17-7 In 1917 and 14 0 in
1924.
Disregarding Nebraska, the
western Rose bowlers look pret
ty good intersectionally. Cer
tainly the school has a record for
upsetting eastern favorites. OSC
skyrocketed Pacific coast grid
stock in 1933 by winning a stun
ning decision, 9-6, over a pow
erful Fordham team that was be
ing nominated for national hon
ors. That game came after OSC
had held the long-unbeaten
Southern California Trojans to
a scoreless tie using only 11 men.
The team was hailed as the giant-killer
of the year but a week
after the Fordham game it stop
ped off at Lincoln to play Ne
braska. That ended the glory.
Unbeaten Duke's January 1
rival began playing intersection
ally in 1915. The Oregon Aggies
(the name was changed to Ore
gon Stato in the lato 1920s) of
that vintage knocked over the
Michigan Aggies 20-0 at Lansing.
Later in the same year Syracuse
came to Portland and won 28-0.
Among Oregon States' best in
teractional showings: 20-0 vic
tory over Marquette in 1926, 25
13 win over Now York U in
1928 and a 14-7 win over Detroit
U in 1929.
DURHAM, N. C, Dee. 18 (UP)
Amid the hullabaloo of prepara

the Duke football team will slip
