o0S9G So
Duke University, expressed their
congratulations to Swart.
Archie Fountain, head OF the
Jaycees' athletic committee, was
the program chairman Of last
nights meeting.
He introduced Bob Howard, who
gave the invocation, and follow
ing the dinner, acknowledged the
guest, j.. c. Roe, member of New
Hanover county school board, John
#. Hoggard, chairman of the New
Hanover county school board, H.
M. Roland, superintendent of New
Hanover county schools, M. f.
Mcdonald. Junior Varsity coach,
Tom and Jap Davis, New Hanover
High school assistant coaches, and
Leon Brogden, director of ath-
letics at New Hanover High.
Fountain then introduced the
special guests, Hershel Caldwell,
end coach at Duke University, and
Eddie Cameron, director of ath-
letlcs at Duke. ~Jt
Eddie Cameron was then given
the floor. The veteran football and
basketball skipper praised both the
Davis boys for their splendid dis
play of football in college, saying,
"Jap played n of his best games
against Georgia Tech the year he
broke away for a IS yard touch
down gallop on the first play, and
Tom was outstanding in the 1945
Sugar Bowl game against Alaba-
Ina"
Cameron also said he believed
Wlmington's athletic program will!
rise to its rightful position among
high schools in North Carolina un-
de: the direction of Coaches Brog-
den, Tom, and Jap Davis.
One of the key statements in
Cameron's talk, however, was that
Inc believed, after seeing football
in all parts OF the nation, that.
Southern Conference football
ranks second to none"
II also believe that football in
l947 will be much better than this
years. The returning veterans will
DE better established. This season
there were some war veterans who
were not as good as they were be-
fore going into the service. There
were others who improved by play
ing with service teams like Great
Lakes, Iowa Pre-Flight, and other
strong service %elevens. You can't
put them all in n class just as
you can't fit all persons in one
class. Before the war the freshmen
and sophomores played on reserve
teams, gaining fundamental know
ledge, so that when they became
juniors and seniors, they would
have a good background. That sit
uation was interrupted by the war.
Now, the boys will have to get back
into the old system, and the teams
will not show their real strength
until this is done"
Cameron said he believed that,
even though Duke lost four games,
they boasteda fine eleven. He
pointed out that the Blue Devils
gave Army their third toughest
game of the season. He also re-
minded fans Of Dukes rugged
schedule, which opened against
strong North Carolina State instead
of the usual ''breather."
Following Cameron's speech
chairman Fountain thanked the
Duke athletic director, and films
of the Duke-Wake Forest game
were shown.

good chance that the third might
be filled by this evening, he add
