Decides to

Disrupts His Ho bits

THE other morning on awaken
= ing we lay in bed awhile
staring at the ceiling.
There is nothing of interest on
the ceiling. but for years it has
been our custom on being re-
leased from the arms of Nor
pehus to just hold still awhile
longer in the day, gazing up
ward.
On this particular morning
while lying there the thought
came to- us that it was one or
many little customs that made
us a creature of habit. We did
the same things the same way
over and over again. year in and
year out. 1t was like being on
a treadmill.
Then and there we came to an
important decision. We decided
that from here on in we were
going to change all the set
routine of the years and do
everything a little different. be-
ginning with getting out of bed.
Our old established practice
was to get out of bed on the left
side. We tried to figure why, as
we lay there planning our escape
from the serfdom of habit, but
were unable to find an explana-
ton.
One time long ago we got out
of bed on the left side and never
afterwards varied the practice.
The old treadmill, you under.

map as jaggedly as the coast

Just the same we persevered
until we got the job completed
and then we took a hot shower
instead Of the usual cold one to
vary the monotony of habit and
the hot water came out hotter
than we expected and scalded
the fuZz of our bosom.
IN DRESSING, we put on our
L hat first and left the shoes
and socks to the last which was
a complete reversal of our old
custom of socks and shoes first
and hat last Of all. Then we
went down stairs to breakfast,
but by a different route than
the one we had pursued for
years.
That is, instead OF entering
the dining room through GER
tain door. we went in by way OF
the kitchen and the girl who was
. cooking our breakfast let out q
zip. You see, she had been exc
pecting us through the certain
door the same as always and
our departure from the usual
startled her.
Moreover, when we got to the
dining room instead of taking
our accustomed chair at the
table, we went to another and
sat down and it was plain to be
seen that the girl was very much
upset indeed when she came in
with the prunes and found US

We asked her il she could not

prunes to start us OF with

and apparently undecided for a
moment, then suddenly turned

of her she was upstairs bah

had gone crazy because he had
come in the wrong door and
scared her half to death and
was even then sitting in the
wrong chair at the breakfast
table with his hat on refusing
to eat his prunes.
Well, we had forgotten about
the hat and that is the honest
truth.

RAGE
 |. TEST FOR DUKE AND TAR HEELS
Best Season in Years Seems in Prospect for
 Blue Devils
BY WALTER LOGAN United Press Stan COrrespOndent)

(Umteu EteSS St9n COtre8pOm0enGD
 Raleigh, N. C.>- (UP) The Southern Conference has one out standing difference this falI-it has added George Washington Univer- sity as a member-but otherwise the situation in the tobacco belt is about the SaYne-Duke and North Carolina are expected to be the top teams.
 Everyone but Duke is picking the Blue Devils to have the best sea- son in years--two defeats last year gave the Dukes their worst season in almost a decade-but from the Grand Duchy of Durham comes complaints that the squad is the smallest in years and much nla- terial is highly draftable.
 Chapel Hill says "don't be sur- prised at anything" North Carolina does this fall. The squad is large and the players are big and tough and the Tar Heels haven't forgot ten last falls dismal season during which they lost four games. If Carolina hadn't upset Duke, 6-3 the Tar Heels would be even more anxious to atone for that.
 Furman Is Optimistic
 The rest of the conference race is strung out far behind, with five teams ranked as sleepers: North Carolina State, Furman, Clemson, William and Mary and Wake Forest. Furman says 1t is going to have the best team in the conference. William and Mary says this is it's year. And State fans have been hoping longer than the Flatbush fans have been hoping for Brooklyn. The other teams are George Washington, a dark horse if there ever was one; Washington and Lee. Virginia Mili- tary Institute, South Carolina, Vir- ginia Tech, Davidson, Maryland and The Citadel. Virginia Tech is the object of the major interest in that group for the Techs have hired a new coach, Jimmy Kits, formerly of Rice Institute, and everyone is eager to see if he can develop his poor material into winning team.
 Duke Backs Powerful
 Prospects for Duke are all on the glowing side when the backfleld and the situation at the end are considered. Steve Lach seems des- tined for All-America honors. Doc Prothro, son of the major league baseball manager, is one of the best blocking backs the Dukes have seen in some time. Moffat Storer and Bill Wartmann have done the 100 in 0.6 and s5 respectively and that's speed in a backfleld.
 North Carolina has lost only one man in the draft, John Sadlik, best prospect on the 1940 freshman squad a pile-driving fullback. But p let termen and 8 squad of 52 in all are expected to take care of any de- f1ciencies.
 The Tar Heels worst problem lies in development of a climax runner and passer to fill the shoes of Jim LaLanne. Nor have the Tar Heels been able to find a kingpin of the line to replace Paul Severin, All- America end.

TEAMS TO USE TWO SYSTEMS
 AT V|LLANOvA
Clipper" Smith Prepares to Vary Formations
 With "T" Style
BY OSCAR FRALEY

(UnlteU ETeSS SGaH COTECSpOEAueUt)
 Villanova, Pa. - (UP) - Villanova College, treated lightly by the draft, will throw the book at its opponents on the gridiron in an attempt to get back into the football spotlight.
 Coach Maurice J. (Clipper) Smith still smarting from last years poor season in which his wildcats only split even, winning four and losing a similar number. It was far dif- ferent from recent years in which the Clipper had three undefeated teams.
 He believes he has the answer this year for there are enough re- turning veterans for two full teams and therein lies his secret. One team will learn the usual Smith system, which he calls 8 "hipper- dipper" variation of the Notre Dame style. The other will be taught the formidable TT" formation used SC successfully by Stanford and tht Chicago Bears last season.
 Reserve Material Plentiful
 The ''T'' situation has most of the nations coaches in muddle. Ths majority of them feel that the timt is too short to mix the intricatt tactics with their usual system. But Smith has enough regulars for two separate units, with reserves ane promising sophomores as a backstop
 Smith, the first of Notre Dame'S "watch charm" guards, is none toe optimistic despite his plans fol solving the two-system riddle. He explained that too many injuries might wreck one or both combina- tions and leave him without ade- quate replacements for either squad.
 Its a tough schedule and we will have to take them Saturday by Saturday." he said.
 Three Easy Games in 40
 The Wildcats last year romped over PING, Florida and Kansas and nosed out Manhattan. They were defeated by Baylor, Detroit Temple and Duquesne.
 Kansas and PING. are off this years eight-game schedule and are replaced by Centre and Auburn Two of the four home games will be played at night with two away games also listed to be contested under the lights.
 The schedule:
 Oct. 24-Manhattan at New York (night).
 Nov. 1-Duquesne at Pittsburg.
 Nov. 8-Temple at Philadelphia.
 Nov. 16-Detroit at Villanova.
 Nov. 22-Auburn at Villanova.

 New York, Oct. 24-(UP)-Chi- cago Bears 175, opponents 45.
 There you have 1t, brethren-a short, sweet story of the sweetest football team now operating any where in these United States. You take the Carlisle Indians, the four horsemen of, Notre Dame and Michigan's point 8 minute team I'll take those babies in Chicago who run from the T formation and roll up scores that make you think they are playing basketball. All this is apropoS of the fact that the howl of break up the Bears Is beginning to be heard. It now has become apparent that nobody car offer serious competition to the Bears, not even the best clubs in the National league, the fastest football circuit in the country.
 In four games the Bears have piled up 175 points to their opponents 45 They have been pressed in only one game, the season opener against the Green Bay Packers which found the Bears on top, 25 to IT. Since then they have swamped Cleveland 48 to 2l; blasted the Chicago Car dinals, 53 to 2; and murdered the Detroit Lions, 49 to o. On Sunday they will take the Pittsburgh Steel. CTS over the hurdles-and you car count on 1t.
 Break Up or Build Up
 The cry of "break up the Bears Is not coming entirely from the men who own and coach the other teams in the pro league. Most of the own. CTS are like young Alexis Thompson proprietor of the Philadelphia Eagles, who says the job is not to break up the Bears but to build ur to them. It's quite a job and it's not something that you can do over. night. George Halas and his assist ants didn't build the Bears over- night and they are not going tc let them disintegrate quickly either
 This is nothing new in the realm of sports, this emergence of a great organization that is unbeatable. Il happened in baseball a few year. ago when the New York Yankee: put together the right ingredients stirred vigorously and came out witt quite a tasty dish.
 The calamity howlers were sayinG that the domination of the Yankee! would kill interest in baseball. They couldn't see any end to the Yankees skein of victo: ieS. But the old gen. tleman with the scythe-old Fathel Time who ncks 'em all eventual, stepped in and took charge. Righ now he looks like the only thint that would be favored over tn Bears.
 Something to See
 The thing for you to do is no to worry about breaking up tn Bears. You1l be Q lot better of worrying about getting somewher to see them play. It's one of thos sights that nobody should miss something like the Lincoln Memo rial, the Grand Canyon and tn Great Smokes.
