About Face
: Last year the Citadel was a llgh1,
fast charging and under-manneo
football machine. This year there
is little difference in the Llgh'
Brigde.
But last wear The Citadel was
playing a schedule that was tough
or than a warmed-over steak, IN
Guiding such teams as North Caro-
lima. Tennessee and Georgia. These
teams are gone from this years
schedule and in their place are
teams more of the caliber OF the
Cadets. In games won and lost
the Brigade is just "a little ahead
of last season, but their new Coach,
Bo Rowland, is building a better
team and the boys feel more like
playing against a team that's more
like their size.
The Citadel is still light, fast
charging and under-manned, but
if you want to see one of the best
little football teams in the south
play, be at Legion stadium next
Saturday afternoon when the
charge of the Light Brigade gets
under way against Davidson.
This and That
While talking about The Citadel,
we point out that the Cadets back
field weighs 174 pounds while the
line averages 1885 pounds. 49,.
A 81 IA pound channel bass caught
yesterday will in all probability
bring Capt. E. j. Damon $3.50 in
prizes. When that story about
Jim LaLanne's flat feet for the
past three years came out, Coach
Ray Wolf said that he would take
all the flat feet he can fine if
they play like the Bayou Bomber. i,
. Duke will play the Texas Aggies
in Durham in 1912. Washing
ton, N. C. high school will send
their top-notch band to Wilmington
for the game here Saturday. =. =.
Harold Jeter, who has charge Of
supervising the staging of the an
nual grid game here, said yester-
day that he is confident that by
kickoff time there will be a sell
out at Legion stadium. 5

EDWARDS INJURED
IN BULLDOG GAME
Senior End Breaks Leg And
Will Be Lost To Wildcats
For Rest OF Season

The old injury JulA
again for the New Hanover hlgh
school football team Thursday
night. when the Fayetteville GULL
dogs rode to a 10 to Z upset VIC
tory over the Wildcats.
Several of the standouts on the
local team were either SICK OF
injured. with the loss of Bobby
Edwards, senior end, who suffered
a fractured leg in the game, COM
ing as the worst blow.
The Wildcats will start prepare
ton Monday for the Turkey Day
battle with the Oxford Orphanage
team with a crippled team which
will have to call forth every ounce
of reserve strength to stop the
favored visitors. The game Will
be played at Legion Stadium
Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
and the affair will be staged for
the benefit of the orphanage with
a large portion of the gate gong
to the organization.
Edwards, an outstanding player
of the Wildcats all season, was
forced to bring an end to his high
school football career Thursday
night when he suffered a broken
leg in the Highlander game. Bobby
had been sick most of the week
and did not get into the game
until the second period. Jennings
Edwards Tipped a Is yard pass
to Bobby deep in Bulldog territory
and the latter sprinted 10 more
yards before being brought down
hard with the leg injury resulting.
The Wildcats had just started to
click and the loss of their fine
end seemed to take something out
of the drive and the half ended
before they could cash in.
Billy RED" Slaughter. guard,
was also absent from the game
and his teammate Fred Day
missed the timely tackles which
the two engineered in most games
this season. Billy received an arm
and shoulder injury earlier in the
week and was forced to sit this
one out. Leon Todd taking Billy's
position played a fine game and
was responsible for the extra point
from placement which the locals
scored after their touchdown.
Elverton Curly" Stands brought
to light a hard kicking toe which
sent the leather oval through the
air for something more than IS
yards a kick and kept the High
landers pushed back on several
occasions.
Harold Horton and Jennings Ed
wards bore the brunt of the Wild
cats running attack and did some
fine slicing through the line to
account for most OF the locals
first downs.
Fred Merritt matched the de-
fensive play of every man on the
field and his hard tackles could
be heard all over the field. He
broke through several times to toss
Highlander backs for losses.
Clifford McIver and Dewey
HOODS we're Tlgnt III tne ceIlteT VI
the battle and were partly respon-
sible fer the gallant goal line stand
which the Cats made on their own
6 inch line. The Bulldog back was
forced to skirt the end for his
touchdown on the fourth down.
Neil Kelley, Wetzel Holt a d
Jack High although not handling
the ball on many instances were
tops on defense and in on most
every play.
1t is hoped Billy Pittman will
be able to get in shape for the
Oxford Game which will greatly
boost the 1oc"ls' chances. The big
fullback has been out for several
games and his hard charging has
been missed.

Bishop Makes His
Rounds in Arctic
Latest Feat Is LOO Mile
Trip Through Wastes.

CHURCHILL, MAN.-Life behind
clustered walls is not for the Ri.
Rev. J. Clabaut, bishop of the Cath
olic Church mission diocese of Hud-
son bay. Worthy of an Arctic ex-
plorer's efforts is the trip through
the icy barrens of Baffin Land in the
Arctic circle that the bishop has just
completed.
Arriving in Churchill, the mission
airy concluded a l,700-mile trek by
dog-team and canoe, during which
all the rigors of the north we're en-
countered. Transformation in
storm-bound Eskimo igloos proved
merely an accepted part of the
bishops church duties while on the
trip.
During his tour he was accom-
panied by Father D. Dionne, a mis-
sionary from the Eskimo Point post,
and by an Eskimo guide.
Leaving Baffin bay February Z,
the missionary mushed over hard
packed snow barrens to Arctic bay,
and then moved down to Iglooik.
Repulse bay, Wagner inlet, Chester
field. Baker lake and Tavana. He
visited the various mission and trad
ing posts along the route.
Largely dependent upon hunting
for food. the party suffered hardship
many times when storms prevented
the shooting of game. During one
storm which ragged for four days the
entire party was without food except
for one small duck shot by the
bishop.
They took to canoes at Eskimo
Point. far TO the north of Churchill,
abandoned their dog teams. By
canoe they skirted along the edge of
huge ice field, being forced to lay
to on ice foes on several occasions
Many bands of Esklmos were en-
countered, some of whom we're suf-
fering from famine owing to the un-
suitable hunting conditions, caused
by storms.
The missionary left Churchill for
Montreal early in July. Last year
he made the northern trip in August,
on board the S. S. NaScopie during
its annual cruise.

who died in Indianapolis recently.
Mlllman preached his own funeral
several years ago and built his own

One of the most eventful decades
in modern history has ended. And
this nation enters a new decade
during which, unless all signs are
wrong, its people must face and
grapple with problems, issues and
responsibilities of the most far
reaching character.
The 1905 will be known to the
historians of the future as the years
of one of the greatest and longest
depressions this or any nation ever
experienced. They will be known as
years of experiment, of trial and er-
ror, of the weighing of our old val
ues and our old traditions. And they
will be known too as years in which
the democratic process was consis-
tently attacked by some of those
who called themselves its friends.
as well as by those who were its
frankly avowed enemies.
From the international point of
view, the tragic '30's' came a Gym
ically fitting end in that most
CHASTITY and unnecessary of events
a war which embraces much of the
world. In nation after nation the
arts of peace have of necessity been
put aside, to the end that war may
be prosecuted to the utmost. And
war destroys more than men and
materials and machines and econo-
mics and states. 1t destroys those es-
sential liberties for which men have
fought and died in holy causes ever
since the world we know began. 1t
destroys those spiritual values
which are at the root of all artistic,
cultural and humanitarian achieve
ment It has been truly said that in
modern war there can be no victors
there are only the vanquished. 1t
is an ironic commentary on the
times in which we live that those
nations which are fighting this war
in the name of threatened demo-
cracy, have been forced to use the
methods of the dictators in order to
meet the enemy on its own totali-
tartan terms.
The greatest blessing which this
nation possesses today is its physi-
cal remoteness from the conflict
abroad. That is a position enjoyed
by no other of the worlds major
powers. There is profound wisdom
in the attitude of the great MAORI
ty of the American people who say,
in effective can keep out of war
and we will keep out of war"

u. S. Soldiers Have
New Rifle

The United States army has
new rifle for its soldiers, fine gun
that is semi-automatic and shoots
a dozen or more times as fast as the
soldier wants t. shoot. In the Reb-
ellion they used muskets. shooting
a paper cartridge. the soldier tear
ing or biting off the end of the car
fridge. ramming a percussion cap
on the tube. IL the World War they
then used the breech loading rifles.
They were good guns but this last
one is said to be easily handled and
as accurate as a Winchester or Re-
mington.

BIG COYOTE TRICKS
AND KILLS CANNES
But Beast Not Willy Enough
For Mans Cunning.

KEDDLESTON, SASK.-Having
raised havoc with all local CANNES,
an unusually large coyote was final
ly tricked and shot by Arthus
Thompson near here when the willy
animal proved not willy enough
against mans cunning.
The coyote had engaged in battle
almost every dog willing enough to
give chase, but there was usually a
flow Of blood before the battle was
over, as the coyotes razor-sharp
fangs gashed the dogs throat. The
marauder's prowess was known
over the countryside and many at
tempts had been made by hunters
to kill it.
The willy animal would lure the
dogs away by running from the
smaller animals, but when out of
sight of man, would turn on the dog
and maui it mercilessly.
Thompson, hearing of the coyotes
cunning and viciousness, decided to
set trap. He baited and set one
Of the largest traps he could find
and concealed it.
The coyote was hungry. 1t shifted
the air, tainted with the scent of the
bait, and walked right into the trap.
But it wasn't to stay there long.
The animals size enabled it 10
break the chain and. spring away
from the log which held the trap.
Following the telltale trail of the
dragging chain. Thompson took his
gun and set off. He found the great,
shaggy beast after travelling several
miles and although the old raider
showed fight, bullet ended its life.
Thompson measured his kill and
found, to his amazement, that the
animal measured six feet from head
to tail, with the latter 81 inches long.

The Years Of The Locust

mere Is no war party in this coun-
try-no responsible statesman urges
our participation. We can feel a
deep and abiding thankfulness that
this is SO. Never before was it so
important that we Americans keep
our heads, in order that we may al
so keep our liberties. For should
this country become involved in
war, democracy would vanish here,
as swiftly and as surely as it has
vanished abroad.
Turning to our own internal pro-
blems, our task is great. The graft
Tying improvement that has recent
ly taken place throughout our eco
nomlc structure must not be allow
ed to blind us to the unpleasant
truth that not one of those issues
which we were forced to face at
the start of depression has been
solved. Most of them have become
more complicated and difficult. The
national debt, despite the heaviest
tax load in our peace-time history,
has nearly trebled in the past de-
cade and will soon reach the present
legal limit of $45,00O,000,00 The
immense expenditures for relief
continue, even though business has
much improved and unemployment
has consequently been reduced. The
agricultural situation, in spite of a
long series of extremely expensive
farm relief measures, remains
tangled and unsatisfactory.
Summing up, we have plenty to
do at home during the years that
stretch ahead. The current Congress
and those which follow have their
work cut out for them but salts
factory results will be secured only
if the people as a whole are awake
and watchful, are conscious of their
needs, are deeply aware of their
American heritage and way of life.
For in spite of the unproven claims
of extremists, our only real progress
has come from productive, employ
ing industry, working under the
American system of free enterprise
which brought US from minor
power to a world power in a centu-
ny and half.
Here in America we have all that
is needed to bring a greater prospe-
rity than we have ever known-the
industries, the men, the resources.
But unless we maintain our basic
liberties, material blessings mean
nothing.

The term is at present usually re-

coatings of which the predominant
ingredient is solution of nitrocel-
