BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 8-The British
director of scientific research re-
vealed today the existence of sur
prise for the enemy in new weapons.
The director. whose name was
withheld from publication although
his interview was approved, said
that any dictator who thought that
scientists had given him the most
devastating weapons possible would
be making a silly mistake.
IF the dictator were to get
gang Of scientists together and ask
them to produce something more
lethal than at present, they would
give it at once. and possibly they
have done So" he said
Il do not imagine that there is 60
ing to be no surprise from the enemy
in this war because we have GER
tainly got one for him."

As Expected, Blue Devils
Working On Pass Defense
Wademen Must Have
Best Day Defending
Against Passes Satur-
day If They Expect to
Stay in Game With
Tar Heels.

Durham, Nov l5.-Just as every
che imagines. the Blue Devils of
Duke are spending plenty of time in
building up their pass defense this
week as they make ready to go
against North Carolina'S undefeated
Tar Heels in the annual football
classic.
Everyone in the State who tries
to figure out these football games
is convinced that the boys in blue
will have their greatest day yet
against passes if they expect 10 stay
in the ball game with the Tar Heel
aerial circus.
They don't nave to be reminded
at Duke that George StirnWeiss and
Jim Lalanne are as good as they
come in throwing that ball around
and the full load Of the game now
appears to be how we'll the McAfee
brothers, Roger Robinson, Tommy
Prothro. Gordon Burns and their re-
placements will be in knocking them
down.
It is no secret that six of the
seven touchdoWns that have been
made on the Blue Devils in the past
II games have been by forward
passes. Only team to score on a
running play was Syracuse on IA
yard run and even that run came
after the Syracuse back had taken
a lateral pass rom a teammate.
It is also no secret that v M. |.

yards in last weeks game against
the Wademan. The Cadets were at
their peak for that game and it was
no rest for the Blue Devils who did
a fne job in winning 207 consider
ing the physical shape they were
in.
So as far as Duke is concerned,
it appears that they will fare in
at Saturdays game just as well as
trey are able to knick Cardinals
losses down.
Of course the Blue Devils are not
exactly "pikers'' at throwing that
ball around themselves. It has been
Dukes best scoring weapon al
though the Duke passing game is
not figured 10 be as well polished
as the Tar Heels sensational aerial
circus.
So, as the Tar Heels and the Blue
Devils come up to the 25th in the
series that started back in 1888, it
appears that the ball will be in the
air more than in any Of those past
classics between two Of the nations
outstanding football rivals.

N. G.. Turkey
Crop Larger
Daily Dispatch Esurtau,
Tn th1 Ei@ Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Nov. 15.-Perhaps the
reason North Carolina will not OBJ
serve two Thanksgiving Days this
month is thai there is less than one
turkey to every ten people in the
State, despite an increase in this
years Tar Heel turkey population Of
approximately 20 per cent.
According to T. l.. Stuart, Of the
State Department of Agriculture's
crop reporting service, this years
North Carolina turkey crop is the
largest since 1929, but even so there
are estimated to be more than 1885,
900 gobblers and hens in the State. 4.
AS a matter of fact the State is
not one Of the larger producing ones,
ranking 26th in number raised and
oath in number on farms as Of Jan
uary 1, 1889.
AS for market prospects for this
season, Mr. Stuart gives Is cents as
about the average price for turkeys
in midi October, but if the usual price
pattern is followed this year, the fig
ure will move up a bit on the Thanks
giving and Christmas holiday selling.
Prices, naturally, are highest in No
venbe r and December. Last year
prices averaged 10 cents in November
and 20 cents in December, and the
sale of the entire turkey crop brought
growers around $500, 900, the highest
gross income they had received from
this source since 1885 when some
$4,000 birds yielded gross return
of $652,O00.
Prices were highest in 1929 when
the 10000 turkeys sold for an aver
age of $343 each Last years $4,000
