RALEIGH, Nov. 7-R)-At last
comes a Duke VS.. Davidson foot
ball game which may determine
something besides the well known
facts that the Blue Devils can dish
it out and the Wildcats can take
it.
The contest on Saturday at Dur
ham may throw some light on a
question which is causing plenty
of filters among Dukes future
opponents this season. That ques-
ton is whether it's true that the
conservative Blue Devils have gone
razzle-dazzle, hipper-dipper, a n d
dipsy-doodle.
The motto over at Duke used to
be to get a lead, hang on, and
don't give a score. From the way
the Blue Devils played on the last
two Saturdays, that motto has
been changed to get a lead on, and
don't give a hang.
In defeating Wake Forest, $50,
and Georgia Tech. At, the Dukes
showed a far different style of
play from the 1888 Blue Devils
who received a Rose Bowl bid by
playing for breaks and keeping
their opponents away from the
goal line. The 1888 Dukes were
not scored upon during the reg
ular season, but they won many Of
their games by a one-touchaoWn
margin.
Against Wake Forest and Geor-
gia Tech, the 1910 Blue Devils

FEW new PILOTS
FOR al BASEBALL
Change At Cleveland Is Prob.
ably Only Manager Shift
For Next Year

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-R-The
mortality rate among baseball
managers keeps shrinking and ap-
parently the only shift in the ma
jors for 1941 will be at Cleveland.
The new Indian pilot is expected
to be named by President Alva
Bradley next Tuesday. One guess
is as good as another about Oscar
Wits successor. It might be Luke
Sewell or somebody the public
hasn't even given a tumble. The
Tribe likes surprises.
But in any event the withdrawal
of Bucky Harris from the running
and the almost coincident an
lnouncement this week a Joe
Mccarthy would return to the
helm of the New York Yankees
stabilized the general outlook.
Aside from Cleveland, the only
club that hasn't already signed its
1941 manager or given a verbal
pledge is Philadelphia in the Ma
tional league. There is a sort of
tacit belief that genial Doc Proth-
70 will be back.
Long-term contracts have helped
pacify the once turbulent tide of
managerial upheavals. Before the
1910 season ever opened six pilots
already were secure for 1941. This
includes the venerable Connie
Mack, who as president of the
Philadelphia Athletics is also their
perpetual manager. =
OF the men who aren't fortunate
enough to be able to hire them
selves, Joe Cronin of the Boston
Red Sox is in the best spot. When
he moved from Washington in 1884
Tom Yawkey gave him a five
year pact as player-manager and
this was extended for another five
years in 1889.
Mccarthy had a three-year con-
tract that expired at the close of
last season, but Jimmy Dykes of
the Chicago White Sox has a two
year agreement with a season to
run.
The contract signed by Harris
with the Senators this week was
for one year, but the job is his as
long as he wants it. Next to Con.
ME Mack, the one-time hoy Won
der" has the longest record of con-
secutive managerial service in the
majors with tours at Detroit, Bos-
ton and Washington.
Del Baker of Detroit's Ameri-
can league champions a S ten.
dered a new one-year contract dur.
ing the World series and Fred
Haney was resigned for one year
by the st. Louis Browns in Sep
TENDER.
In the National league Prothro
had a two-year contract with Phil
adelphia expiring this year. Presi-
dent Gerry Nugent is expected to
make an announcement soon con-
corning his retention.
Gabby Hartnett hasn't been
signed yet by the Chicago Cubs
but owner Phil Wrigley said be-
fore the 1910 season closed that
he would be retained. l

The purpose of this legislation is
to curb growing bureaucracy in
the Nations Capital. For years we

Under the law creating that body,
those aggrieved by its high-handed
conduct were barred from securing
relief in the courts.
A similar situation exists in near
ly all the boards, bureaus and COM
missions that have been set up
since 1888, which has made the
New Deal regime a government of
men rather than of law. Under the

It is needless to say that the OAR
