Duke Cagers
Prepare For
Lincoln Game

Durham, Dec. 16.-Duke univer-
Sity's basketball team made final
preparation for the opening of its
1871 intercollegiate court campaign
against Lincoln Memorial University
in Dukes new gym tomorrow night
at $3.50 o'clock. AS preliminary to
the varsity encounter, the Duke
yearlmg five is scheduled to face
LouiSburg Junior College at o'clock.
It will be the first of three games
for the Blue Devils this week. After
tomorrow nights game, they make
d two night stand in Washington, D.
c., meeting Catholic University on
Friday and George Washington on
Saturday.
Coach Cameron still has not de-
cideG on his starting lineup for the
opener. However, it will undoubt-
'edly be made up of the veterans
from last years squad which won
Big Five honors and were runners
up for the Southern conference
crown.
The Duke mentor has been running
ia team which includes Captain Glenn
Price and Eddie Smokes at forwards,
Chuck Holley at center, and Cy VAL
aSek and Bob Meyer at guards dur
ing drills.
However, he may switch Price to
the guard spot now occupied by
Meyer, a position which the Duke
captain played during his sophomore
year. IN event Of such a shift, Bill
Mock would be paired at the for
ward post with Smokes.
Coach Cameron will probably
work as many men as possible to-
morrow night. Slated as almost GER
tain to see action are Hap Spuhler
and Bill McCaiian, reserve guards
and lettermen from last winter, Raw
Brown, a reserve forward last wear
who was shifted to the reserve CEN
ter berth to fill the gap which the
loss Of Clyde Allen left, and Bill
Wetmore, sophomore forward, who
has been the. standout among the
first year men.
TomorroW's game will be the Duke
five's last home stand before the
Christmas holidays. They return to
the Duke gym against Lehigh on

Territory Is Key To Control
 Of Pacific Coast In The
 Event Of A Sudden Attack

fbv the irrefutable facts of geog- lraphy The late great General Wil- liam Mitchell who was dismissed from the Army in disgrace because he too vigorously expressed views which are now seen To be indisput- able, remarked once before a Con gFessi0nal Committee that Alaska is the most important strategic area in the world. While General Mitchells statement covered a lot of territory, Alaska is unquestionably of the highest strategic value to the people of the United States. and it's ade- quate defense is a matter of neces- sity for the national safety
 With Alaska undefended, any forces moving against the United States across the Pacific Ocean will necessarily move on the shortest line, on the general principle am nounced by the really capable Gen. eral Nathan Bedford Forrest. that if one expects to win a battle. he must get there first with the most men-the greatest striking power. The fundamental rule of military strategy is as old and as steadfast and as unchangeable as the ageless mountains Herodotus tells us how Cyrus, in following that principle. brought into subjeetion and slavery the Lydian Empire under Croesus which was then considered the great military power of the world. Ma poleon's most successful campaigns were founded on it; and it's sound ness was exemplified only a few months ago by the Nazi generals in easily oyerrunning well-nigh half Of Europe.
 Air Bases Being Built
 Consider for a moment that if Alaska were in the possession of a hostile power; all of our defenses in the Hawaiian Islands are thereby outflanked and rendered untenable. because the enemy in control of Al aska would be within 750 miles of the United States, on an interior line, while the Hawaiian Islands are more than 2,400 miles from our Pacific Coast.
 Fortunately for Us, this amazing defect in our defense organization is being corrected. Three naval air bases are under construction in Al aska; one at Sitka, in southeastern Alaska; and one at Kodiak, some what west of the southern central part of Alaska; and one at UnaI- aska, which is located near the southwestern end of the Alaska Peninsula and near the eastern ex- tremity of the Aleutian Islands. At the same time the Army is building two air bases; a small one near Fairbanks, almost in the center of the main body of Alaska and a much larger one near Anchorage. in the south central part of the Territory. Until less than six months ago all of our troops in AL aska consisted of 300 infantrymen situated at Chilkoot Barracks in southeastern Alaska Now we have some ground troops of various types, thousand or more, at An chorage, and the number is to be considerably increased.
 While the military and naval

AL the present rate of progress from g to 30 years will be re- quired to complete the eharting of the Alaska coast. We have excellent reason to believe that the Japanese are much better informed concern. ing the coast line of the Aleutians and the nearby mainland than we are. and have more accurate charts of that region
 Worth Defending
 Not only is it vital that alaska be defended in order to protect the United States, but the Territory is. we'll worth defense on it's own ae-. count Equal in area to all of the. States east of the Mississippi River. and north of a line drawn midway. east to west, through Tennessee andI North Carolina, Alaska contains all most illimitable resources. More| than a thousand tons of gold of the value of more than 500 mil-- lions of dollars have been taken from Alaska, and probably twice as much remains. It has produced more than 200 million dollars worth of copper. It has given to the eeon-I omy of the nation more than 100l million dollars worth of furs. and more than a billion dollars worth of seafoOd products, principally the rich and nutritious salmon; and these resources. although not now utilized, are capable of producing in perpetuity products worth at least 50 million dollars per annum. Its coal alone is estimated in bil-I lions Of tons. Alaska produces both platinum and tn as well as silver and other minerals. It contains vast resources of iron. Its oil lands areI mostly withdrawn for the future use of the Nation. And most Yalu-| able of all are the 40 million acres, and upwards, of agricultural lands of the Territory, capable of pro- ducing enough food to supply mil-I lions of people. The reindeer ranges of the arctic could furnish suffic-. tent meat to feed those people. It's total trade with the United States annually to more than one hundred millions of dollars.
 To long fai Ito establish sufficient defensive works in Alaska would be folly-folly because Alaska is worth a thousand times the cost of necessary for it's defense, and folly because the possession and

Improved housing conditions for

Stewart Mcdonald announced to-

he said.

They explained that Philco scien-

stead of visa versa. he stated.
When placed upon the unique re-
frigerated shelf. both the food and
the containers holding it, drop al
most to the temperature of the
shelf because of conduction or direct
contact. Since the temperature of
the shelf is several degrees colder
than the air in the refrigerator, it
naturally follows that the food, be-
ing almost the same temperature as
the shelf, helps also to bring down
the temperature of the air in the
box and thus becomes an integral
part of the refrigerating action The
more dishes placed on the shelf. the
more refrigerating surface is avail
able. thus resulting i'll a more Ell

before this"
 Mark had risen from the table, saving he had to start back to town, and the conversation had ended. Now, riding back to Sioux Springs in the hot midday sun, he recalled Carries sudden interest in his words and the thought left him infinitely happy.
 He was thinking of her and the blunt way in which Ed Taylor had reached conclusions for both of them, when he looked up to see 8 man riding hard, out of Sioux Springs, toward him. Instantly, Mark was alert, spurred his own horse.
 The figure drew closer - tall rider on fast sorrel. Mark recog- nized the horse. It was Newt Gales. A second later he knew the man. It was Ashton Oaks.
 Instinctively. Mark stiffened in his saddle, leaned forward, press ing hard on his stirrups. Oaks rode straight down on him, 30 yards, 20 yards, 10 yards - and then Oaks fired.
 Like that it happened: without word, a single flash of warning. With a shout, Mark raised high in his saddle, 1urched toward the left. His own gun roared twice in the praire stiffness. Oaks horse went down, and simultaneously Mark crumpled from his saddle.
 It was over quickly. Oaks, kick ing himself free of an entangling stirrup, abandoned his dead horse, rushed over to Mark, knelt down. Marks eyes were closed, he scarcely breathed.
 'Deadl" Hoarsely Ashton Oaks whispered the single word. And then he looked back. Other riders, two, three, five, were now sending up cloud of dust straight behind him. With a single bound Oaks reached Marks horse, vaulted into the saddle. He glanced at the ground. Mark was stirring.
