The coaches alternated their play

Jack High and Bill Watson were
used ON the second string flanks

The Babe" fills up almost an entire

Dewey Hobbs showed the way for

Tulane Thinks 1t Has

Tulane officials wondered today #

Green Wave and Clemson ran III
plays from scrimmage in the 81
minutes of playing time. The usua.
number of plays per game is abOu
120.
Tulane, 1870 victor, alone ran III
plays from scrimmage, including
IS rushing attempts, seven passes
and nine punts. Local sports writ

of plays to Tulane's hustle on Of

This and That
After seeing Duke wanop Geor-
gia Tech Saturday, many Blue
Devil followers and also the un-
attached went home declaring that
Wallace Wade has the greatest
team he's ever coached at Duke
this year . . That defeat at the
hands Of Tennessee will keep Duke
out of a lot of the national lime
light, however. The New Han
yer grid coaches have bobbed up
with an "end-around" play that
observers describe as a honey. ...
1t will be given the supreme test
against Wilson Friday night. .
There are 81 members of Auburn's
1910 varsity football team and only
three come from above the Mason
Dixon line. OF the lot IS are
natives of Alabama. . . The Hi
Kappa fraternity has a stock OF
football uniforms that it would like
to put into use. "A lot OF last
years players went off with the
National Guard, but t. fraternity
is thinking about digging the uni
forms out of the moth balls and
getting up a team. . They would
like to play a few games with
other amateur elevens of this Sec
ton. 1t should be interesting
to watch Dukes Bill Wartman and
Cardinals Johnny Eecora match
running prowess in that game
which II be played November 16.
. . They're both sophomores and
are fast and elusive. 8

Blue Devils went to work today
for the Davidson game, following
their Al to 7 rout of Georgia Tech

used against Davidson here satur-

The Duke coaching staff admit

DUKE MOVES INTO

Minnesota Faces Biggest Test
In Third-Place Michigan

on CorneI's neck in the 1910 foot
ball ranking race, but this week II
is Minnesota's Gophers who have
displaced the Irish of Notre Dame
as closest pursuers Of the all-con-
ouering Ithacans.
The fifth of the weekly Assocl-
ated Press ranking polls. with l70
football experts throughout the
country participating, finds Cornell
on TOP as it has been since the
start of the season. The Big Red,
three games away from its second
successive season without defeat,
was placed first on 119 ballots and
second on "a for 1850 points.

only 140 points away. The Bernie
Bierman powerhouse. runner-up in
first = place votes with 10, was
ranked second by Y of the experts
as it piled up 1920 points.
Just as last week, when they
came through by the margin OF
an extra point over Northwestern,
the Gophers stand the best chance
of improving their position and the
greatest risk of being knocked
down this coming week end. They
will meet a Michigan team that,
like Northwestern, also comes up
ito this contest ~undefeated and un-
tied, with the added advantage OF
a weeks rest. The Wolverines, as
a week ago, are given third place.
Two other decisive games next
Saturday will involve members OF
the first ten" Texas A. and M,
up from fifth place to fourth, will
take its string of II straight vic
tories into action against Southern
Methodist, u%ndefeated, tied only by
Pitt, and ranked 18th.
Meanwhile Stanford, No. 6 in the
rankings, will play once-beaten
Washington, No. II, in the game
that should send one or the other
on to the Coast conference title
and nomination for the Rose bowl.
While Minnesota was being
boosted from fourth to second this
week, Notre Dame skidded down
the ladder from runner-up to sew
enth, back of Tennessee and STAN

but great in barely beating Army,
but may climb again if they can

not have any trouble getting by
Maryland to make it % without a
loss, and Northwestern, only first
tenner which has b e n beaten,
should get back on the winning
track against Illinois.
This, incidentally, is quite a sea-
son for streaks. In addition to
Georgetown's 23-game string, Cor

PULSE OF
THE PUB LIC
PATRIOTISM AND
BUSINESS

Editor, The Times: Factually,
we are now at war with the
axis powers. Without consult
ing congress or the people,
President Roosevelt has trans
ferred to England from the U. S.
arsenals $4,000 machine guns,
700 field guns, 100000 rifles.
and from our navy he has trans
ferred so warships pronounced
''in magnificent condition" by
the British receiving officer.
Quite justified was Churchill's
cheerful prophecy to the House
of Commons: mo doubt Herr
Hitler will pay the United States
out II he gets a chance"
Now. there are those who
have forecasted and fought as
well as we could Roosevelt's
steady planned steps toward that
brink from which there is no
returning. Ours Is not the re-
sponsibility that we are at war.
But how contemplate we would
feel and what public contempt
we would deserve. IL for profit
we now helped arm Germany
How much worse such con-
duct on the part of those who
supported Roosevelt's drive to
war! Yet according to the New
York Daily News, Sept. rs, a
steady stream Of munitions Of
war, at fancy prices. is flowing
through the du Pont company
to Germany.
The trade amounts to s10,-
900. 900 per month. The goods
are mainly shipped through
Spain. Portugal and Russia. The
transactions are managed by
Jose M. Mayorga, formerly
American representative of Gen.
eralissimo Franco. and by Ave-
limo Monies, who represented
Nszi firms in Mexico. Both now
draw checks from du Points.
Here is something for Mr..
Dies and others of his kind to
get really excited about - but
will they? Hardly. for this du
Pont activity in no way sub
verts the established order -
in fact, II makes manifest the
established order. The du Points
are but doing what their class
has done in every modern war;
they are but living by the rule
Of conduct best expressed by the
steel nagnate. Eugene G. Grace:
Patriotism is a beautiful senti-
ment. but II must not be per-
mitted to interfere with bust
meas"

Il Smells of the Fifth Column

Two incidents in the political field would be
emey amusing If they not tragicaly indicative of
loose thinking in high places in point the pro-
posa of Italian that the United States with
draw its aid Great Britain in exchange for deed
Canada World history dscloses few proposals
ridiculous.
To the loose thinking be ascrbed the campaign
pamphlet attacking the ancestors of Wendell Wlke Re-
publican candidate for president No question the
Amercansm of Mr.. Wlke His ancestors to America
several generations the prosecutions and the
political intrigue which made life very uncertain for those
who did ascrbe to all of the doctrines laid down by
of the ruling factions Their record in America far
citizenship is concerned is without blemsh Be it said to
the credit of the democratic national organization that
Chairman Edward Flynn has repudated the attack and
expressed his belief in Mr. Wilkes 100 per cent Amer
cansm.
The attack Mr. Wilkes ancestry is comparable to
what happened in the 1928 campaign when Albert E. Smith,
the Democratic candidate for president subjected
the type of nsidous attack.
When Americans engage in the solemn proceed
ing of eectng president of the United States without
resortng to such it is time to that democracy
has failed. Neither Mr. Smith Mr. Wlke merit that
sort of attack. II is what might expect from we'll
