will close it's. nine-game schedule
against the powerful Pittsburgh
Fanthers in Duke stadium tomorrow

The kickoff tomorrow afternoon
will come at 2 o'clock. The gates
of Duke stadium will be open at IL
a. m. and refreshment booths inside
will begin sales at the same time.
Duke university officials urged to-
day that spectators make every effort
t. arrive at the game early, paying
particular attention to name of the
gate marked on their tickets and en-
tering at that gate. This will faclli-
tate an efficient handling of the over
flow thrOng.
Officials set the probable attend
ance for tomorrow's game at around
COCOA figure that will break d rec
ord established in 1885 when q crowd
of 1880 saw the Duke-Carolina con-
test here.
Jock Sutherland's Pittsburgh team
will enter the battle favorite over
the Blue Devils. The strength and
power of the Panther outfit is known
far and wide. The Carnegie Tech
upset came while Mad Marshall Gold
berg, Pitts irreplaceable All-American
back, was out of the lineup with in
juries. Goldberg will be in top shape
to go against the Blue Devils in the
last game of his brilliant collegiate
career Several of those Blue Devils
were in the Duke lineup that halted
Mad Marshall with considerable sue
cess in the 1887 contest, but there are
many who believe the worm will turn
tomorrow.
Dukes Seven Iron Dukes"-a for
ward wall that eight opponents have
failed to beat down-wilI be out to
stop Mad Marshall and his three
running mates in Pitts dream back
field" If they do this seemingly-inl-
possible job, the 1888 Duke line will
be recorded as one of the greatest in
the history of football.
With Goldberg in that dream back
field Pitt. will offer Curly Stebbins,
halfback who has gained more ground
than any of the other Pitt runners,
Dick Cassiano, the fast-stepping half
back well-remembered by the Blue
Devils from last years game, and
John Chickerneo, quarterback VINO
does all his many duties well.
1t will be the greatest quartet
Duke team has ever faced and has
been called by many observers as an
even greater backfield unit than the
famous -Four Horsemen" of Notre
Dame.
Both teams will have star per-
former out of action. Pitt will be
without AL Lezouslxi, guard who star
red against the Blue Devils last sea-
son, while Duke has lost Jap Davis,
21O-pound sophomore blocking back.
Pitt took It's final workout at Cha
pei Hill this afternoon while the Blue
Devils did their polishing in the home
lot Spirit on both clubs ran high.
Duke students enthusiasm, at a
peak all week, was slated to reach a
new high at the final pep meeting to
be staged on the campus tonight.
Head Cheerleader Ted Brown will be
in charge of the proceedings. The
campus is already heavily DECORATED
with signs urging the Blue Devils to
defeat the Partners. -@
