VARIED PRACTICE
Still Only A Small Number
OF Players On Hand
For Drill

DURHAM, Oct. 90 Y Coach
Eddie Cameron played host to a
good old-fashioned get together for
his wandering Duke university Blue
Devils on the practice field this
afternoon. but because of trans

of practice sessions in preparation
for the onslaught of G eorgi a
Techs poWer-laden Yellow Jackets
in Atlanta this Saturday. the Duke
mentor ran through every play in
the books as he tried to loosen
up some of the kinks that long
miles of furlough travelling devel-
oped.
The first formal drill since the
Blue Devils put up their toys after
downing the Universityof North
Carolina Ia Heels 10 days aoo,
the Duke gridmen have spent the
interim taking examinations and
enjoying their first furloughs.
Holding informal preview session
on Monday afternoon, there were
more coaches than players present
/ as Bob CAN'T and Gordon Carver
Durham boys, were the only ones
| who reported. Today's drills were
much more satisfactory but the
Blue Duke board of strategy hopes
that a larger turnout will be had
tomorrow so they can get down
to actual business.
Although Guard Sonny Poss, a
transfer from Auburn who lives in
Athens, Ca, is the only member
of the squad to have received trav-
cling orders so far, the rest of
the aggregation is on the anxious
seat awaiting their assignments to
more advanced training bases.
Poss, private in the Marines,
passed his physicalfor the Naval
Air Corps and has been transferred
to that branch of the service With
at least eight first string players
slated to be moved on in the near
future because they have complet-
ed their seven allotted semesters

His brother, M. S. Eisenhower,

War Funds appeal:
Our taxes and our funds invest

fetal war needs. But there are
other vital human needs in war.
I have seen some of them. In North

homes to escape Nazi tyranny
They preferred even homelessness
and starvation to Nazi oppression.
And what 1 saw does not, know
