Won the Southern Conference bas-
ketball championship with stun
ming 44-27 victory in finals of the
annual tournament.
The Blue Devils, who were de-
feated in two out of three games
by the top seeded Tar Heels in
the regular season, brushed the
Carolinians aside Pitt in the first
nalf and scored II to 10 in the
second half to run up a 17-point
victory margin-one of the widest
in the history of Southern Confer
ence championship games.
The Blue Devils succeeded

champions. George Washington

1eated William ano Aary in the
first round and routed N. c. State
last night in the semifinals. North
Carolina went into the finals by
virtue of victories over the Uni
versity of Richmond and Virginia
Tech.
A near capacity crowd of $500
saw the game.
Both teams put up an effective
defensive game in the early min
utes of play and neither team tai
lied until after five minutes of
play. Then big John Dewell, Car
DINA center, sank a free throw
and Captain Bernie Mock and
Boyce Box followed with field goals
to give the Tar Heels a 10 lead.
That was the last time the boys
from Chapel Hill threatened.
AS if waiting for signal, the
Methodists quickly sank four field
goals and deadlocked the confer
ence leaders at 8-8 with 10 minutes
in the first period still left to play.
In rapid order the Blue Devils
went out in front, 1913, moved the
margin to 25-15 and then coasted
10 a 27-17 advantage at the half.
After the intermission, the Blue
Devils ran their lead to 1918 and
put away all doubt as to their
mastery. Limiting the Tar Heels to
but five points until the period was
half gone, the boys from Duke
then settled down and stopped
short a determined Carolina that
simply wouldn't clock.
The Dukesters were highly ef-
fective on lay-up and Grip shots,
countering repeatedly from close
in. Their long snots, too, were
accurate. Defensively, they used a
:nan-to-man, closely knit game
that kept the Tar Heel shots well
sc catered. The Blue Devils manag-
ed to control the ball most of the
time and at only one point were
the Tar Heels able to muster
strength for anything like de-
finite scoring spree.
Bill Wright, former Tennessee
player, was the offensive star for
the Blue Devils. He racked up Is
points to lead all scoring, and
played a brilliant game afield.
Gordon Carver, veteran Duke
holdover, got IL points, most of
which resulted from shots made
from difficult angles and from far
out in mid-court. Box, specializing
in one-handed, overhead shot,
sank four field goals and two free
throws 20 lead the Tar Heels Of
1ensively. Mock, who Topped in 20
points against Richmond, was
guarded closely tonight and sue
ceeded in getting but nine points.
However, he was outstanding a.

ministratrix Of the estate OF the late

i1ent trustee TO accumulate cash

Research Foundation the following
facts were arrived at relative to
this type advertising by industry
For industry this trend has
meant an opportunity beyond pre-
cedent to build public understanding
and good will y. not only for the
duration but for the peacetime years
to come.
To-day there can no longer be
any doubt as to whether we'll pre-
pared advertising Is being read ..
and read eagerly. For today there
is growing evidence OF that fact
.~ and the evidence Is scientific
and conclusive.
Seldom, In fact, in any medium,
has public attention to national ad.
vertiserS messages reached the high
marks which industry Ia now re-
cordlng In newspapers
In support Of such claims the
Foundation published various re-
ports on studies made relative To
such facts. For example, II was
found that ads run by the Bethle-
hem Steel Company, are read by
so per cent Of the men readers and
66 per cent Of the women. Similar
ads placed In newspapers by West
inghouSe are read by 81 per cent OF
the men and SO per cent Of the wo-
men.
United Aircraft reports that SUR
veyS reveal that Its ads are read by
AZ per cent Of the men and ~ per
cent Of the women.
Aside from the primary purpose
Of these ads Of clarifying the ex-
pediencies OF this war, the adver-
Users, these manufacturers, are
themselves realizing, 1t has been
stated by experts OF newspaper adj
vertising trends, the tremendous
possibilities Of this medium. Aware
OF the Job, performed through this
source, OF selling billions In peace
time consumers products these
manufacturers, In experimenting
through this same medium In CALI
ing attention to the public Of the
wartime problems Of industry, are
now aware Of the future poSsibili-
ties to be derived when peace comes
again.
These experts contend that while
the newspaper advertising approach
to public understanding OF the
broad problems Of industry has Just
taken hold, the future will witness a
tremendous expansion Of this meth
cd OF mass education.
The current advertising campaign
Is the result OF suggestions and
ideas presented to state manufac-
turers In group meetings at various
times by The Hartford Times news-
paper Copy and lay-outs Of such
ads are the combined efforts OF The
