War cancelled the big New Year

concerned.
There was little doubt that the
game would be played here jan
uary l. Gov. j. M Broughton of
North Carolina personally inter-
vened and assured Washington off,
cials that the game would not inter-
fere with the States defense pro-
gram. He then announced, "I think

Military expediency demanded
blackout of the game on the Cali
fornia coast. Sixty thousand tickets
had been sold for approximately
$264. 900. The money will be re-
funded by individual check with Or
egon State assuming the postage bill.
Rose Bowl officials hope to recover
at Durham $4,000 already spent on
game preliminaries.
Fast on the heels of the announce
ment that the game would be played
here as an official Rose Bowl en-
gagement, came word from civic
leaders that a celebration. though
not as elaborate as the tournament
of roses at Pasadena, was in the
making.
Duke Stadium will seat more than
$4,000 persons and tickets will sell
for $40 apiece. The Tournament
OF Roses will get its cut and probably
determine how the remainder will
be divided.
