Braves Grid
Chances Good

With many veterans back from
last year, Coach Edwin Shadford Of
Ypsilanti High School is well set
for the coming football season
which will open Friday at Island
Park, when the Braves meet Sa-
line.
The only fly in the ointment is
the ends and tackles. Both Richard
Friend and Danny Campbell are
back from last years team at end,
but with Army drafts continuing,
the coach is not sure how long
they will be with him. Johnny
Bass, Tower. Clouse and Warner
are showing good stuff on the
tanks.
At the tackles, Chef Dasher and
Carl Miller seem to have the edge,
but are pushed hard by Sipe and
Spaulding.
James VOTERS, captain, will start
at left guard, with Elliot. Wynn,
and Houck trying for the starting
berth at right tackle.
Fidler, last years center, is back,
and is being understudied by Cor
don Lamb, a freshman.
James Bell is the veteran quar-.
terback. with Earl Hill and Rober-
son at left and right half. Kenny
Fry. regular fullback, is back and
is sharpening his toe for. the kick

Yhl Washington, Lawrence Perry,
Jr.. and Bill Robertson look good in
the halfback slot. and will likely
see a lot of action.

Summertime Dizziness Of Capital
AWakens With Glorious Peace News

ment. North Carollnrans lift their
chins a little higher with pride
when the story is told of how this
young officer won the Navy Cross
going on suicide mission" His
brother, 1t. Col. Albert L. Cox, is
still in France, with the Army of
Occupation. Attra ctive Cheshire
Cox Lively flew in to the Capital
just in time to hear the good news
and was off again with her hus-
band the following day. The much
travelled General and Mrs. Ken
meth c. Royal remained at home
lso, forgetting the din and noise
outside while making plans for an
other short excursion to New York
to see the small James Davis, Jr..
who will soon be travelling to Colds
boro with his mother, lovely Mar
garet Royal Davis, while her hus-
band, Capt. DrD James Davis is
overseas. And, if this little "chip
off the old block' is any anything
like his very distinguished and able
grandfather, General Royal, he'll
be governor of our fair state in 4
short twenty-five years or more.
To Captain and Mrs. Josephus
Daniels, Jr., and their young son,
Edgar Foster, the news Tuesday
evening was wonderful 1t meant
folding up here and the long await
ed return home, to Raleigh, in the
pleasantly near future. The Colony
is making an effort to persuade the
personable Joe and Evalina to es-
tablish themselves permanently in
the Capital, for they have made a
very definite niche here, but word
is going around that packing has
begun.
When the bit news flashed this
week, the Comptroller of the United
States and Mrs. Lindsay Warren
were also at home. Their daughter,
attractive Emily Carter Warren,
left Monday for two-weeks visit
at the Cloisters. Sea Island, Geor-
gia and Charles is back at Mays
Head after a short stay in Wash
ington. Ensign Warren is still
somewhere off the Atlantic Coast.
DR.. and Mrs. Fred Morrison
heard the glad tidinqs surrounded
by packing boxes, for on Tuesday
they moved into their beautiful new
home-a magnificent spot located
in one of the loveliest quarters of
Washington. Miss Reba Doughton
who returned Sunday with her
father, Representative Doughton,
was busily engaged with prepara-
tons for her visit to friends in

JULIA McNINCH SLEAR

ALI precedent collapsed as the
glorious news of peace spread over
Washington at the twilight hour
last Tuesday. From a deadly dull
summertime afternoon in war :
anxious center, the Capital was
plunged suddenly into bedlam -
with staid and blase old Washing
ton forgetting itself in all out jubi-
lation, climbing atop parked cars,
on roofs of the transit buses, roam
ing and rollicking about generally,
IN the greatest merry making
spree the town has ever known!
On Fourteenth street group of
sailors set about painting the town
red" literally-with the aid of a
couple of friendly Wacs. Others
joined in the lively street dancing.
Leading the snake-dance up Penn
sylvanla avenue in the vicinity of
1900 were those energetic young
troopers, Grady Heron and Alex
Starnes, who paused in their antics
long enough to give the Tar Heel
yell when they spied Us. And hav-
ing good reason to celebrate the
occasion were Mr. and Mrs. La
mar Wood of Gibsonville, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin C. Clickner and Larry
Dickson, who gave an extra whoop
or two as they made their way
down the confetti-littered streets

Through to see his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Edwin Ritter Young, eyed
the crowds somewhat ruefully as
the celebration mounted in inten-
sity. Seems it has been Bob's fond
est hope to get a '1ook-in'' over
in the Pacific and his trip home
at this time was in way of a pre-
face to 'jaunt'' into the war
zone. ~:
Bells tangled in happy confusion
