TEAM DRILLED ON
PUNT RECEIVING,
BALL HANDLING
Brogden Tells Squad That
He Has Made Selections
For Shrine Game
BY GENE WARREN

Coach Leon Brodgen announced
yesterday in a brief talk to his
gridders, who dropped a hard
fought 8 to battle to the Dur
ham Bulldogs, Friday, that he had
mailed the names of the two best
football players on the New Han
over High School Wildcat squad,
as selected by the pigskinners in
an election among themselves,
to State high school authorities
to be candidates for the North
Carolina All-State squad. The N.
C. team will clash with the South
Carolina pigskinners in the annual
contest following the conferences
close.
The Wilmington mentor did not
disclose the lads names to any
of his boys, but will probably re-
veal the two if they are chosen on
the 'Tarheel' eleven.
Following the talk, The Man, as
the boys call Brodgen, sent the
Hanoverians through limbering
up practice session. Punt receiv-
ing, which played a big part in
the eleven's downfall, Friday, was
worked on hard with most of the
pigskinners holding the ball, but
there were still too many fumbles.
Looking very good on the run
backs were Neal Patrick, j. c.
Price, Johnny Symmes, and Hack
saw futile. 'Bubba' Sykes, the
Locals safety man, carried back
the boots for nice yardage, trying
hard to prevent the tendency to
tumble, which has plagued him in
most of this years ARRAYS.
The lineman also started to hit
the dummy again with John Hobbs
and Chubby Paul leading the pack,
followed closely by Graham Trap
Barefoot and Irwin Gore.
Herman Wick, the Cyclone from
Wilson, who scored the winning
touchdown over Rocky Mount
last year that gave the Tobacco
City the title, began to work out
for the Thanksgiving game. Wick
showed up very well as he pulled
down several of Sykes long aerials
for long gains. Wick also tossed
some passes in the overhead drills.
practicing up for the role, which
he may play next year.
Don Hyatt, the tall center on the
first string, did not take part in
the workouts because of injuries
suffered to his knee in the Dur
ham tilt. The lanky pivot man
hopes to play in this weekend's
game, though if his leg responds
to treatments.
Also on the injured list was Ken
meth Rogers, who hurt his right
arm. Rogers, the best pass receiv-
er on the team, may start off
Friday despite the bad elbow.
Fayetteville, led by Eddie Sally,
a passer, ranking among the best
in the conference, challenges the
Cats this weekend in the Locals
final league battle. The Bulldogs,
holding last place in the stand
ings, will be out to end their sea-
son with a victory, but face a
formidable foe in the New Han
over Wildcats. This last conference
tussel will undoubtedly be one of
the toughest fought struggles for
both teams.

 The ancient theory that possession is nine points of the law be in actual operation these days members of the Allied powers crowd time in order to occupy bits of terrain upon which they believe they have just claims. The swift movement of the Soviets into Manchuria into Port Arthur and other key cities is example. The race which to be between the central government of China and the British in the direction of Hong Kong another the troops Of Chiang Kai-shek have been contendng much territory as they possibly could.
 While there is a certain danger in these contests all of which can't be called friendly still there is no real reason why any of them should end in serious trouble If the Allied powers in fact have drawn a workable plan for peace, any of the difficulties which might arise be settled amicaby.
 Britain, China and Moscow all realize that fact. But still they moving heaven and earth to place themselves in the best possible position to bargain when final agreements drawn. Each calculates, and reasonably enough that it's best interests will be served if it's own claims be backed not only with argument but with the fact that of occupation as well.
 The day may come when any nation can entrust, with complete confidence, parts of its domain to the hands of another But this is not yet generally true, although both Canada and England, without any expression of fear, have allowed Americans to take over parts of their territories For the most part however traditional suspicious still are with us although there is denying they have diminished tremendously in recent years We still to be the first on the ground, but we're willing to stop and talk arbitration when the other fellows arrive few generations ago he who last found nothing but steel to greet him.

 It is fact that the holders of savings bonds who put their money into issues prior to the outbreak of the war have already lost about onethird of their principal, measured in terms of what their capital would buy at the time they made their invest ment and what it would buy if they decided to cash in and spend it.
 In other words now is poor time to cash in such bonds At least the holders of such sure of getting their money back with interest as promised and if they wish to recapture their principal before maturity they do without having to sell on the open market for what they will bring.

Those Backward Alaskans
Seattle Times)


 The people of Alaska not yet ready for state hood and won't be until they become sufficiently in- formed on the principles of economies and fair government.
 So say two Democratic Congressman, Jed Johnson of Oklahoma and Jack Rooney of New York, newly returned from visit to Alaska where they spent a couple of weeks inspecting Interior Department projects.
 Junketing Congressmen rarely give themselves a chance become acquainted with the people in the areas they tour As rule, they do most of the talk ing and hear nothing more than what toastmasters say at banquets given in their honor It is purely an accident if they get any kind of slant on regional public opinion.
 There is no evidence that the people of Indian territory particularly well informed on the principles of economics and fair government when admitted into the ssterhood as the State of Okla homa in 19O7 History tells us that when New York joined III with the original l3, few of her people had any idea what it was all about
 But if the people of Alaska-and we doubt it are backward in such respects the reason is right at hand So far they have had experience only With the economics of bureaucracy and none at all with fair government.

The question of radio Soap Operas" is no closer to solution following survey of rural listen CTS made this summer for the Federal Communications Commis- sion by the crack Department of Agriculture surveys unit. The day time serial stories were voted near the top in popularity. But simul- taneously, they had more votes than any other type of program as something that should be taken off the air. One complaint of those who dislike the Soap Operas is that they rarely concern farm people.

of the Army anG Navy.
 Here are three conclusions which are unacceptable from close reading of the Pearl Harbor documents
 1-The Articles of War should be revised immediately and drastically. The articles provide plenty of penalties for the little CT Joe's and the Navy's Sea Dogs who swipe a helmet, lose a rifle, or stay three hours over their leave, but the Articles of War make no pro- vision for penalizing officers who lose half the fleet and fail to protect our most important military outposts
 2-The Pearl Harbor revelations blast the myth that the brass hats can do no wrong. They point up to the postwar selecting of young, strong, democratic men, not Wall Street bankers or oldsters living on their past regulations to head up the Army and Navy.
 3-The Pearl Harbor disaster em- phasizes once again the danger of secret diplomacy President Tru- man blamed the American people in part for Pearl Harbor. But if the American people had been fully aware of the critical military and political situation between 1885 and 194l, things might have been diff ferent.
 But when they saw the Army Navy and State Departments urg- ing continued shipment of oil and scrap iron to Japan despite general editorial disapproval, it is under standable that part of the public was lulled to sleep The State De- partment told them little.
