coach one may feel reasonably safe in team is going somewhere certainly 'in the Southern Con- ference Following his team's decisive defeat of Washington Lee the 1934 Southern Conference champions yesterday Wallace Wade who has coached his Blue Devils through three smashing victories' had very little to say In fact Coach Wade had nothing whatever to say other Xhan that he thought had a very good team and that the game was much closer than the score would indicate Which is just about what the Sphinx would say if pushed for a statement No since there anything to be drawn out of Wallace Wade after a victory like that He has been interviewed by experts and they have found him equally loquacious But the fact remains that Duke showed a lot of power out there yesterday afternoon even if get going and was the victim of a bad clipping penalty which led to first touchdown Tex Tilson the vanquished coach thought they had it And the spectators thought so but as for Coach Wade he is laying low and saying nothing The main reason for this reticence and Wade is right is that his team has a tough schedule ahead His team has brushed aside Wake Forest South Carolina and with only one touchdown scored against it this by Wake Forest in the first 'game which Duke won 27-6 Next in order come Clemson Georgirf Tech Auburn (which beat Tulane yesterday) Tennessee 1 North Can Davidson

Fatalists OUT AT the Fair Grounds yesterday rode the Teal fatalists of America They were the automobile dirt track drivers entertaining the curious on the last day of the fair There is about these men the atmosphere of gasoline and dust and a devil-may-care do-or-die attitude that challenges the admiration of even the hardest-boiled of our sporting skeptics They live for today leading tomorrow to its own destiny We have known a number of these auto driving fatalists including the greatest of them all Sir Malcolm Campbell the dauntless Britisher who recently sent his gleaming Bluebird hurtling across the sands of Utah at an approximate speed of 301 miles per hour Last spring while covering a baseball training trip in Daytona Beach Fla it was the pleasure to meet Sir Malcolm and know him intimately We were there for four weeks and our hotel was close to the garage where Sir Malcolm kept his machine closely guarded day and night by a corps of mechanics We saw him make several of his trial runs and talked with him afterward A few days after he had broken his first record with an average of 276 miles per hour over a bumpy beach we approached Sir Malcolm with a query about the potentialities of the Bluebird you think shell ever do we asked him as he i you Terps Nose Out Tccli 7-0 After Long Run ails Cregger Races 100 Yards With Intercepted Forward IJut Steps Out of Bounds

life in a roadside motorcycle accident Stribling liked to get his friends up in an airplane and torture them with all kinds of stunts and didoes An expert pilot he rarely took any unnecessary chances with passengers but he resist doing an occasional loop 'or wing-' over just to display his skill with the stick We shall never forget the day when we were cruising serenely along through the azure on
