ORPHANACE HIT
Five German Planes Re-

Down In Daylight Raids

LONDON, Oct. 22-(Tuesday)-
This bomb-ridden capital slept in
quiet last night and early
through a sporadic German
air raid while the main force OF
the Nazi bomb blows was directed
against Liverpool and other Mer-
seyside cities.
The 45th consecutive overnight
onslaught on London continued in
termittently, however, with occas-
ional bursts of anti-aircraft fire
and bomb explosions as the heavy
weather of early evening cleared
away to a ground mist by morning.
Strike At Dusk
The fierce raids on Liverpool and
the northwest began at dusk and
progressed this morning in a show
er of high-explosive and incendiary
bombs. But the only serious casual
ties reported occurred when ex-
plosives burst in a congested area
of one Merseyside town.
Following the paths blazed by
fellow bombers who recently
smashed windows in the big, new
United States embassy building on
Grosvenor Square, the night raid
ers flew to the assault on schedule,
around 1880 p. m. Q:30 p. m.
The explosion of several bombs
was heard, but the raid got under
way somewhat slower than it has
on the two previous nights.
During the early night hours,
bombs fell in only a few London
districts, and the gunfire eased off
from the peak intensity.
No Casualties
Four bombs exploded along one
street but no casualties we're re-

Historic Precedent
Today, Trafalgar day, set an his

Oct. 81, 1905, Lord Nelson's British
fleet vanquished Napoleon's arma-

the life of Britain's naval hero,

There also were persistent re-

Four Games
For Deacons
Next Week

Wake Forest Feb. lO.-After
meeting Baltimore University in
Baltimore tonight in their final game
ol inc week, Coach Murray GreaSOns
Deacon baSketballers will return
home today only to find their tough
est week OF the year ahead-begin-
nlhg Monday, they have tits facing
hem On three successive nilhts.
"A fourth game had been originally
scheduled with Virginia Tech for
Monday but the CobDlers called this
OIL due to injUric.; and sickness
among members Of their SQUAD Be
turn engagements with Davidson. II.
{. State, and Duke are slated for
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
respectively.
Even without the GoLblCr sctto,
the DeaconS will have plenty on their
hands with the three Big Five op-
ponents. And too, it may ultimH teiy
prove the deciding issue Of W"r-e
Forest securing a berth in the South
crn Conference tourney.
At this writing, the Deacs have
won SIX loop engagements and nave
lost four. To get an invitation to the
tournament, cluD must place among
the top eight clubs, according to per-
ccntage at end OF the regular schc-
dule, and these three games coult:
lust about clinch place or knock the
Wakes out of the tourney.
Wake easily defeated the Wildcats
Of Davidson in their initial meeting
at Davidson several weeks ago 1926.
But since that time, the Cats nave
pasted 4 terrible licking on the
Citadel, club with better than 500
average against conference compcti-
ton. No doubt, they will be improv-
ed for this second and last Presby-
teran-BaptiSt get-together Of the
year, Tuesday night.
The Wolfpack-Wake Forest con-
test is always 4 toSs-up, notWith-
standing pregame ODDS for one club
or the other. On paper, the Deacs
are stronger. but the game isn't
played on paper and members of the
Red Terror squad would like moth
ing better than to Wallop Wake in
the finale. Coach Sermons Techmen
staged inc biggest upset OIL the year
last Wednesday when they toppled
the Deacs 1892 and another victory
would give them a clean sweep Of
the current cage series.
At Duke Jan. 81, the Blue Devils
put on laSt-minute scoring SpllWge
that took them to d 50-44 triumph
over the DcacOnS after the lead had
switched hands numerous times .thro-
ughout the battle. Now with the Sec
ond game coming up Thursday, fans
are already beginning to speculate
on the outcome.
Without doubt, Wake Forest is a
tough club to beat on one Of its good
nights, and if they can strike d mot"
streak against the Blue Devils next
Thursday, there may be a reversal
of score.
Anyway, you can get your bottom
dollar that something besides pop
corn will be popping when the Deacs
and Blue Devils go together next
Thursday night.

Red Terrors
Hold Interest
At N: G.. State

in next weeks winter sports sche-
dule at North Carolina State. The
Terrors are carded for three Big Five
games-Davidson Monday. Wake
Forest Wednesday and Carolina Fri
day. Two of the cage contests
Davidson and Carolina--are schedul-
ed for the home court.
The State cagers have two vic
tories in nine starts in conference
competition. The Red Terrors scored
their first win against William and

and then surprised the conference
with a 1892 victory over Wake For

Bob Warren's Frosh playing the Err
win Red Birds in the preliminary.
Tuesday Coach Herman Hickman
will pit his varsity and Freshman
grapplers against Virginia Tech here
in their third home performance OF
the season.
Wednesday the Red Terrors will
return to the limelight, meeting Wake
Forests Demon Deacons in Wake
Forest. That game probably will be
one of the closest watched games of
the wear. The DeaconS were slated 10
take State last week but the Terrors
came through with 1892 upset.
and Coach Murray Greason's boys
will be seeking revenge When they
play at home.
The Frosh of State and Wake For
est also have a little matter to settle
Wednesday. In the preliminary game
at State last week, the Techlets
edged out a 57-56 victory over the
Baby Deacs in an eXtra-period con-
test. The Wake Frosh, like their big
brothers, will be thirsty for revenge.

on the spot, this time at the mercy
of the high-flying Tar Heels of Car

the twin bill. Friday afternoon Coach
Romeo Lefort's Freshman swimming
team will meet Raleigh's high school
team in the State pool.
