Heel supporters, recognizing the
odds against them, recall that I'M
derdog Carolina teams have upset
the dope in past years and that
there is always a chance.
The Tar Heels haven't won this
annual battle since 1910, although
they tied Duke in 1912. Their Sc
year-rivalry began in 1888.
After routing Richmond in its
opener, Duke lost to Pennsylvania,
North Carolina PreeFight, Navy
and Army, then rallied to upset
Georgia Tech and smash then I'M
beaten Wake Forest and South
Carolina. Carolina edged out the
Cherry Point Marines but lost to
Wake Forest, Army, Georgia Tech,
South Carolina and Yale and play
ed scoreless tie with William
and Mary. The Tar Heels put up
fine battle in losing 6-13 to Yale
and will be at top form against
Duke.
The presence of Allan Elger,
Iowa letterman last year, and Bill
Voris, top scorer on the Army
p1ebe team of 1912, in the Carolina
backfield may help the Tar Heels.
Elger transferred from Duke to
North Carolina in November along
with Thad Ellis and John Kerns,
linemen. Kerns will not be avail
able. having said he did not care
to play against his former team
mates.
Besides risking their conference
title chances, the Blue Devils also
will have at stake any possible
post-season bowl game invitations.
For several Duke Stars, including
Backs Tom Davis and Gordon Car
yer and Guard Ernest Knots, the
game will be an opportunity to
f,,rther their bids for all-South-
ern and possible all-America team
honors.

Navy FIatIy Opposes
Early Army, Navy and
Air Consolidation
Forrestol Points Out
Geographical Problem;
Urges Careful Study
BY the Associated Press,

The Navy fatty opposed today
immediate action to consolidate
the Army, Navy and Air Forces
into a single Department of War
and urged Congress to give care
full study to proposals for post
war consolidation.
Its views, given to the House Com
mittee on Postwar Military Policy,
were stated by Undersecretary For
restal in these words:
"The position of the Navy is that
the whole question of military Or
ganization deserves and should re-
ceive a most objective and thorough
study. 1t believes the question
should be approached by detailed
examination with the conclusion to
be reached at the end of such an
examination rather than acting
upon the assumption that the case
is already established. I don't be-
heve this"
Earlier this week, Secretary of
War Stimson indorsed the creation
OF a single department for the
armed forces-the actual consolida-
ton to be put off until after the
War-and recommended prompt
congressional approval of the unfit
cation principle.
Mr.. Forrestal suggested that the
committee conduct its study with
reference not merely to the expert
ence of other countries, but also with
special reference to the geographical
situation of our own Nation on the
globe"
He said the military necessities of
the United States cannot be COM
pared with those of Russia or Ger
many both of which, he said, "are
dependent largely on the use OF
military power on land"
The problem of this Nation, he
added, lis a composite of that of
Japan, Great Britain, Germany, and
Russia, and it should be viewed and
studied accordingly"

The department had held up for

Mr.. Sparkman told the commit

given an officer who testified some
time ago on amendments to the
Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief
Act. The officer testified at Mr.
Sparkmans personal request, the
Alabaman said. and since he had
not had time to obtain the usual
departmental approval, the officer
emphasized that the views he ex-
pressed were his own.
AS a result, Mr.. Sparkman said,
the officer no longer is in uniform.
Although he wrote Secretary
Stimson last November and re-
quested that the reprimand be taken
from the officers record, Mr.. Spark
man said he has received no reply
Unless there is a satisfactory ex-
planation soon, he added, he plans
to introduce legislation to correct
