THREE CONFERENCE

Only three games, one an all

States Friday basketball sche-
dule.
Heading the meager card is
the Southern Conference duel
between North Carolina and N.
c. State at Chapel Hill.
The two have been among the
busiest clubs in the circuit, the
Tar Heels having won five of
eight starts, with State taking
four out of five. A victory for
the university would deadlock
the two teams in the confer
ence at .667
However, State will have to
find a way to stop a high-scor-
ing machine which has been
held under the 40 mark only
three times in 16 games. The
Tar Heels have hit for 1875 points
in their last two starts against
Wake Forest and Virginia Tech.

Maj. Gen. George F. Lull, Deputy
Surgeon-GeneraI of the Army, said
today that eleven medical units
were sent overseas last moi<h
without their complement of 913
nurses.
"At the present time we have
approximately $4,000 nurses in the

thorization will have to be increas-

have a ratio of one nurse to Is

Gen. Lull spoke at a meeting
sponsored by the New York Times.
Gen. Lull said that Negro nurses
were serving at two army forts,
four camps and in hospital units
in England and India. He said
that only 1000 out of the 5000 Ne
gro nurses in the country would be
eligible for the Army Nurse Corps,
the others being ruled out because
of age, dependent minor children
