Raleigh Caps Lead SEC;
Wilmington Seeded Sixth

It still looks like a close race Tor
the Eastern class A football con-
ference this year. Raleigh with
three victories against no. defeats
and ties is riding the top place
with the greatest of ease.
The way the Capital City lads
showed up in the Wilmington con-
test last Friday night on the State
College field they might and prob
ably will be defeated before the
season closes, even though they
won the. game by the score OF 13-0.
The Raleigh eleven can give the
Wilmington fumbles credit for
their win. The Raleigh outfit has
registered victories over Whining
ton, Durham, and last years cham
pions, Wilson.
Durham, with one win. and one
defeat is trailing the Raleigh Caps
in second place. Durham advanced
into the second slot last Friday
night with a 400 triumph over tae
lowly Wilson Cyclons. The Tobacco
City lads have suffered setbacks by
both Greensboro and Raleigh.
Fayetteville holds down the third
place position without single win
or defeat. The Bulldogs have tied
two OF the conferences outstanding
teams, Rocky Mount and Colds
boro.
The New Hanover Wildcats will
be seeking their first conference
win. Friday night when they clash
with the GoIdsboro Earthquakes on
the 'Quakes home field. Goldsboro
for the time being is seeded in
fourth place with one win, one de-
feat and one tie.
Wilson, last years State Champ
ions have not seemed to get click
ing this season for some reason
without their ace coach, Leon Brod-
or other. 1t may be that they are
gen who this year is with the To-
cal Wildcats. Wilson has been de-
feated twice this season, the most
they have ever been in the past
several years. The only club the
eyes have been able to overcome
was the Goldsboro eleven. Durham
and Raleigh have been the two
clubs to beat the ex-State Champs.
The Wildcats, who have the best
team in. several years are seeded
in sixth place in the standings but
only have to win one game to 60
into a tie for third and two to take
over second. The locals tied with
Rocky Mount and their loss to Ra-
leigh were both caused by fumbles
at the wrong time and place. Other
than those few errors the Wildcats
have as good team as any other
outfit in the conference.
The cellar is being occupied by
the rough and tough Rocky Mount
Blackbirds who have no wins
and one defeat and two ties. They
tied with the Wildcats and Fayette-
vile. Goldsboro is the only team
to lick them so far.

guess we had good day, pro-
lessor, and hope we can have some
more. We had a little more speed
and experience than Kentucky.
Bernie Shively, Kentucky -
Georgia had little too much OF
everything, if you ask me. Wally
has one of the finest teams I've
ever seen.
Old Professor - What improves
with age, Mr.. Widdoes?
Carroll Widdoes, Ohio State -
our team, l hope. We were a little
better than last week but We'll
have to get better yet. There still
were plenty of rough spots against
Wisconsin,.
Harry Stuhldreher, Wisconsin -
We lost to great ball club. Eel

Old Professor - Mr.. Simons,
what knocks? Besides alumni, OF

and Rice made opportunities and
then made good on them against
us. Jess Nicely has really opened
the season in my book. He had a
great ball club Saturday.
Jess Nicely, Rice - 1t just goes
to show what some work will do.
We had our first real week OF
work this season. Now come
exams, and we hope to see our
players before Saturday, but we're
not certain.

center Fritz Alexander was oul
only injury. Naturally we were dis
appointed the score wasn't small

! Hugh Devore, Notre Dame -
I found I had pretty good halfback
in Bill Zehler. I wanted to keep
those Army and Navy scouts
guessing, sure, but 1 also wanted
to give my third and fourth string
ers a chance to play.
Old Professor - Comdr Hagberg,
what are you doing with that tat
tered old scarf?
Comdr Oscar Hagberg, Navy -
Just showing how ragged our line
was against Penn State, professor.
This week we'll concentrate on
pass defense and blocking, our
lines needs plenty of work.
Bob Higgins, Penn State - Navy
was just too much for us. Tepsic
had no support. We were beaten
by a greatly superior team.
Old Professor - Mr.. La Bruch-
erie, what is sweeter than sugar?
Der La Brucherie, UCLA -
Honey, and isn't that Cal Rossi
one, though. Without him we'd
have been lucky to get scoreless
tie with the bears. Both teams
were too keyed up to play good
football.
Buck Shaw, California - Bert's
got a good, fast little ball club,
and he finally had passing to mix
in with the running game. We
didn't give our passers protection
and couldn't get up steam for
sustained drive.
Old Professor-Speaking Of pass
Ing, Mr.. Luster, when is a pass
out?
Dewey 'Snoter" Luster, Okla
homa Why professor, you grieve
me. I never pass out.
Old Professor No, no. You
misunderstood me. I mean, when

Dana Bible, Texas - That was

Old Professor - A couple of
game teams, I take it. Well, gen.

I'll join myself in cup of tea. I'd
invite you to join me but know

 While in Yalta the President was guarded not only by his own secret service agents, but by agents of the Soviet Nvkd, the Russian secret police, and Soviet interior troops. One of the most striking features of the Russian protection of the big three were girl members of the in- terior troops, some of them no more than 14 or 15 years old.

 Radio silence was preserved at all times while at sea. To transmit news of the death of Maj Gen. Edwin M Watson, the Presidents secretary and military aide, destroyer was sent a great distance before hel radios could be operated long enough to get word of WatSons death back to his family in Washington.
 It was always possible for the ships to receive radio messages, anc the President received up-to-the- minute account of affairs in Wash ington and at the White House. Ht followed the news in general through the ships newspaper which pub lished three editions a day.
 Contrary to reports current at the time, the President had no plans for visits to Rome, Paris or London during this trip.

Poor Digestion? G6 c1 ::
 Headachy? % Sour or Upset? % Tired.ListIess? %

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day. Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes. Ands you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 25s.

miles which included stops III Malta, Russia, Egypt and Algiers. In addition to his eight-day meeting with Churchill and Stalin, he also conferred with King Farouk ot Egypt, Emperor Halle Selassie of Ethiopia and King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia. He made most of the trip by cruiser, but flew from Malta to Yalta, and from Yalta to Great Bitter Lake, in the Suez Canal.
 As his ship approached the American coast, he spent an hour with three press association cor respondents who joined his party at Algiers, going over the accomplish ments of the Yalta conference. He made these specific points:
 1. He looks forward to a time ! after the war when armament or all nations, including the United States England, Russia, China ana France, will be decreased.
 2. Germany and Japan should at some time be added to the assembly of United Nations members, but only after they have shown definite trend away from militarism. This possibly will require more than 30 years of concrete proof.
 3. Until Germany and Japan have made considerable, unmistakable progress toward peace-keeping forms of government, the United Nations should, by force if necessary, see that they are utterly incapable ot arming or preparing for war in any manner.
 4. A plan of American Russian English occupation of Germany has been worked out, but will have to be changed according to the degree of French participatiin in the oc- cupation.
 5. The big three meeting and the later conference between the Presl- dent and Churchill at Alexandria Egypt, were concerned with Europe and not the Pacific. In fact, the President said the Pacific situation
 just did not come up in his latel talk with Churchill. It did not arise in the tripartite conversations be. cause Russia is neutral toWarc , Japan and this country is respect ing that neutrality. 6. The people of the United States, particularly in face of Euro, bean successes, too often blow ho1 and cold about the war in the Pa cific. The actual situation is tha

 Still other flying columns were plunging up the Juelich-Dueseldorf highway southeast of Muenchen in hot pursuit of the fleeing Nazis.
 On that sector. the Tanks cap tured Kenigshoven, Garzweiler and Borschemich, roughly Is miles southwest of Dusseldorf, and drove forward through broad alley that contained neither woods nor rivers to sluow their march on the Rhine. Other Ninth Army forces were moving on the Erft River along a front of more than eight miles ex- tending Southward from the Koe- nigshoven area to the Luelich-C logne highway, and may already have preached the river line at some points.
 Bloody Losses
 The heaviest fighting there cen- tered yesterday around Elsdorf, three miles west of the Erft and 13 miles from Cologne on the Juelich road. The Germans threw strong armored forces into series of counter attacks on both sides of the highway but were hurled back with bloody losses.
 Field dispatches said German re- serves still were moving into the breakthrough area on the Amer | ican First and Ninth Army fronts, but the Nazi commanders were feeding them in pieceneal and they were being killed or captured almost as fast as they reached the lines.
 The bulk of the five German ir- fantry divisions guarding the Roer line when the American offensive began last Friday already had been all but wiped out, and the newly arrived ninth and 1lth panzer divi- sions were taking terrific losses.
 On the northern end of the Allied offensive line, Gen. H. D. G. Cre- rars Canadian First Army finally broke open the Nazi defenses Ath- wart the Maas- Rhine corridor after weeks of bloody fighting.
 Crerar sent hundreds of flame throwing tanks ripping through a five-mile breach in the Siegfried line defenses barely 20 miles from the northwestern corner of the Ruhr, followed closely by bayonet- yielding Scots infantrymen.

 The campaign on Corregidor was reduced to a mopping-up of the enemy remnants at the narrow eastern end of the island. A spokes- man said the remaining Japanese trapped in pocket of less than one mile, could be counted "in the hun dred."
 Additional explosions rocked the Malinta tunnel on Corregidor and heavy smoke poured from the west ern entrance indicating the Jap anese were continuing their policy of f-extermination.
 Liberator bombers again hit the Japanese on land and sea from Formosa along the China east coast to French Indo-China.
 Sixty tons of bombs were unload ed on the chemical plant and fue dumps at Takao, on Formosa while fighter.bombers raked the soutl coast of the island. Three coaSta vessels were damaged in the nearby Pescadores Islands.

their postwar leadership and their national objectives. Until they do more definitely toward a plane of good international behavior, the United Nations should see to 1t that they do not re-arm.
 Tn the Crimean communique, the Big Three announced plan where by "the forces of the Three Powers will each occupy separate zone of Germany" with France invited to share in the occupation if she de- sireS.
 Enroute home, the president am- plified this by saying that the orig inal Three Power plan for post-sur- render occupation of Germany had provided that:
 1. Russia would occupy eastern Germany.
 2. Great Britain would occupy west and northwest Germany.
 3. The American zone of Occu- patton through southern Germany. It would include supply corridor to the sea at Bremen and would extend into the provinces of Wurt- temberg, Baden and Bavaria.
 The president added, however it was complicated and had not that this was an old plan, and that been settled upon because a French zone of occupatioin would change either the American or British zones. This meant obviously that Russia will occupy eastern Ger many regardless of what France does.
 Russian participation in the de- Alterations of the Anglo-Americar combined chiefs of staff was ex- plained by the president this way:
 The Russians will have part 1T anything affecting their own troops but not in anything pertaining tt operations in the Pacific. Previous ly the big three had announced that "the very close working par nership among the three staffs" at tained at Yalta would result II shortening the war"
