The Department of Agri-culture, and, more recently, theTextile Division, have been greatlystrengthened and placed in posi-tion for national leadership.

‘RESULTS FOR WEEK OFJANUARY 20-25

With the intramural scheduleabout half completed, it is evidentthat the playofl will be packed withthrilling contests.

In the dormitory section Fourth- surged ahead in the closing min-utes of the game to beat Fifth byone point. The scoring was prettymuch even throughout the entiregame, but a last-minute field goalgave Fourth the winning point.The speedy S.P.E. five rolled

over the Sigma Nus to the tune of' 37-3. The scoring was evenly dis-tributed among the members of thewinning squad, although Pattersonwas high scorer with 8 tallies.White sunk the only field goal thatthe losers received.

In the next game Lambda Chidefeated a fighting PiKA five 18-10.The Lambda Chi’s held a slightlead throughout the first .half andthen ‘slowly began to creep awayin the second half. Jeanette wasthe high scorer for the evening,although he was on the losing team.Oatman and Fowler tied for tophonors among the winners.

In the following game S.A.M.,who defeated the Sigma Chi’s inthe first round, bowed to a strongSigma Pi five. The Sigma Pi’s had

- things pretty much their own waythroughout the entire contest.When the final whistle sounded thescore was 28-6. Lyerly was highfor the evening with a total of 16points.The mighty ALT’s rode to an-

other easy victory as they pushedover the Pi Kappa Phi’s.-28-6. Thewinners were in full command allthrough the contest. Moore, Nakosand Urash tied for top scoringhonors. ,

Tuesday night the Lambda Chi’sadded another win as they rolled

~

Mt}

over the Delta Sig squad 45-5. Thewinners held their opponents to onepoint during the entire first half asthey racked up 20. Fowler washigh scorer for the night with 14points while Daniel was secondwith 13. -

In the next game Tuesday night,the Sigma Nu’s lost their second asthey bowed to the Sigma Chi’s 20-5.It was Sigma Chi all .the way asthey held a lead from the openingwhistle. At the half Sigma Nu didnot have a single point while thewinners had a total of 10. Michieand Holmes were the top men forthe victors, getting 6 points each.That finishes the results up to

now, but half the schedule remainsto be played. As yet there havebeen no forfeits in either the dorm-itory or fraternity flight.

Mr. Miller has announced thatthe intramural swimming meetswill be held in February. The ,fra-ternity meet will take place on the15th at 8 o’clock, and the dormi-tory meet will be on the 22nd, alsoat 8 o’clock.The events will be: 25-yard, free

style; 50-yard, backstroke; 100-yard, free style; underwater swim,distance; plunge, distance; fancydiving; and four-man-relay, eachman swimming 25 yards.Each organization may enter two

men in each event but a single manmay enter only two events and therelay.

Don’t forget that we’re going totry to complete the schedule with-out a single forfeit. Have your

. team on the floor at the right timeready to play. Forfeits ruin the funfor all.

BOOBY TRAP(Clipped from the Champaign,

Ill. News-Gazette.)Clemson, S. C.—This story is a

little late making the rounds, butNorth Carolina State Coach DocNewton didn’t know it and Clem-son’s Coach Frank Howard hasn’tbeen bragging about it.

. Just before the 1942 Clemson-North Carolina State footballgame, Clemson’s Howard gatheredthe ofiicials around and patientlyexplained a g/ridiron booby trap hehad prepared for the occasion.

“I have a screen pass cooked upfor today that I want you to watchcarefully,” Howard explained. “Ourline is going to let their linethrough and the passer is going to$0p the ball over their heads toour blocking back. I invite you towatch our linemen closely. Theywill stay on the line of scrimmageand not violate the rules.”

So with everything set, Clemsonwent out and kicked off to NorthCarolina State. State then executedthe identical play for 71 yards tothe Clemson one-yard line.

(The pass was from EddieTeague to Peanut Desk. The Wolf-pack won 7-6.)

Former All-American Beat-tie Feathers Now Instruct-ing Army Students In Phy-sical EducationBeattie Feathers is remaining at .

State College to instruct Armystudents in the physical educationprogram. He came here last No-vember to succeed Phil Dickenswho left to take up new duties atthe Univ. of Georgia. Featherscoached the backfield of the Wolf-pack for the remainder of theseason.‘Anyone that is a rabid football

fan knows the name of Feathers.Back in 1933 the University ofTennessee was very busy making aname for itself in the footballworld. The outstanding back of thefresh eleven was a young kidnamed Feathers, who held downthe left half-back post.When football rolled around in

1934, Coach Bob Neyland had hiseye on Beattie and put him in thehalf-back slot. Without much ado,on his part, Feathers held downthe position through 1937. Duringthat time he managed to make All-American and see his name em-blazoned across sport sheets fromcoast to coast.

Such a player was not to be for-gotten upon graduation. As today,the Chicago Bears were withoutpeer in the pro league in 1934. Toround out a great backfield theBears offered a contract to Feath-

, ers. With Bronko Nagurski clear-ing the way, Feathers swivel-hipped his way through the oppo-sition for a neat average of 9.7yards per try. By the end of theseason he had amassed a grandtotal of 1,054 yards. This recordhas withstood nine years of proball and will probably still be topsnine years from now. Feathers wasalso honored by being named tothe left half-back slot in the 1934pro league All-Star team.

Beattie stayed with the Bearsthrough the 1937 season and wassold to the Brooklyn Dodgers in1938. In 1940 the Green Bay Pack-ers took over his contract. But abad knee injury forced him to giveup football.

Beattie Feathers was born inBristol, Va., August 1909. He at-tended Bristol High and won fiveletters in football. Beattie wasgood enough to make the varsityin the eight grade, and made All-State his last Wears of school.He captained the team in his sen-ior year.

Feathers came to State fromAppalachian State Teachers Col-lege. He served as athletic directorand coach at the latter institutionuntil last fall when Appalachianwas forced to give up all sportsexcept basketball. His knowledgeof sports and physical conditioningestablishes him as a valuable assetto the athletic department.

fowler’s fancies

Now that the basketball scheduleis nearing completion it is time to.give some credit to the “bench-warmers,” or the substitutes, whospend long hours working out butwho seldom see action on the hard-wood. It would have been hard tohave had any team at all withoutthe subs. A pat on the back toSakas, Mauro and Edwards.’oIt looks like Carolina is going toannex the conference in spite of allthe boys from Duke can do. Al-though the Blue Devils have playedonly two loop tilts so far, they havedisplayed quite a bit of strengthagainst the strong service teams inthis section.

In addition to being on top in

the cage scrap, Carolina is alsoe ected to take over the indoort ack meet this year. While themeet isn’t really for the purpose ofselecting the conference champion,it is generally understood that thewinner will be considered thechampion. ‘The College intramural program

is almost half over for this termand the cooperation has been goodso far, as there have been no for-feits as yet. The greatest drawbackof intramurals in past years hasbeen forfeits, which play havocwith the schedule. Let’s make thisa perfect program although it willbe harder now than in formeryears because of the reduced en-

Mounl Wilh New SongGood Chance for Some Stu-dent To Join Immortals ofCollege By Composing NewFight Song

By DON SAPPIf some musically inclined stu-

dent would like for his name to beamong the immortal sons of StateCollege, he should write a colorfulfight song for the school. Themusic and words must be originaland spirited.Now don’t get Us wrong. Our

fight song, “State College KeepFighting Along,” possesses all thequalities necessary to arouse thestudents and athletes to a fierypitch. The only drawback to usingthis song is that the music isidentical to the Army’s “FieldArtillery March." Wherever thisnumber is heard, the people natur-ally think of the Army march ifthey’ve never heard of our battlechant. We believe that Appalachianuses the same notes for their fightsong.Fred Waring specializes in writ-

ing college numbers. About fouryears ago, he fulfilled the requestof the students by submitting tothe College an entirely new fightsong called “Hail North CarolinaState.” However, this selection just

. wasn’t “catchy” or “breezy” enough

to gain distinction.Songs like the “Notre Dame Vic-

tory March,” “Ramblin’ Wreckfrom Georgia Tech,” “On Wiscon-sin,” and “Go You Northwestern”are easy for the average footballfan to identify. A rip-roaring fightsong, different from any other,would do much to elevate still high-er the name of this school.rollment. .

Little has been published yetabout the conference basketballtournament which is supposed totake place here in Raleigh duringthe latter part of February. Manyof the teams which participated inthe. race last year have cut outbasketball for the duration, butthere are still enough quints leftto put on a good show.

' Track Coach Johnson has issueda call for candidates for the Statetrack squad. We hope he gets moreresponse than did Mr. Hines whenhe asked for swimming candidateslast fall. It’s up to you, the stu-dents, whether State will be repre-sented in Big Five track circlesthis year.

court race rapidly approaching itsclimax all indications point to athrilling battle for the loop crown.Carolina is far out in the lead now,as they have won every conferencetilt in which they started, but theycan expect some strong competitionfrom the Durham boys, who, as yet,have had only two chances to dis-play . their power in conferencecircles.The Blue Devils have dropped

Kohler Leads State Scoring;‘Game Thrilling ThroughoutState College played host to the

Blue Devils of Duke Universitylast Tuesday night in one of themost thrill-packed b a s k e t b allgames seen in this section in quitesome time.

It was a fast and furious gamefrom the opening whistle withnumerous fouls and scrambles.

In the opening seconds of thegame Almond 'took the ball awayfrom Carver and dribbled down thecourt, but his shot rolled aroundthe ring and then bounced out.A few minutes later Almond was

fouled and sunk to put State onlyone point behind. Later Kohlerhooked in a field goal to give theRed Terrors a one-point lead. Soonthe Blue Devils began to click andthey went out in the lead, keepingit until the final whistle.A spurt of power by State in the

closing minutes of the first halfmade the score a little more equal.When the rest period whistle blew,the half-time score was 18-25 infavor of the visitors.

State came back strong in thesecond-half, but the Blue Devil’sadvantages in height and expe-rience began to show and theygradually gained a bigger lead.The game was rough-and-tumble

all the way through. Both Almondand Kohler were forced out of thegame because of fouls in about themiddle of the second half, and justa few minutes later Carver andHarper of Duke were called out ofthe game for the same reason.

Tuesday’s victory gives Duketheir first win in conference circles,although it is only the second loopcontest in which they have par-ticipated. Duke dropped their firstconference tilt to the fast-steppingfive of Carolina, who are the un-disputed leaders of the SouthernConference race. State has also lost-to the White Phantoms in two con-tests, dropping the first 42-27 andthe second 52-24.

strong track teams in the loop thisseason Carolina seems to have thebest all-around squad. Iii additionto the Navy and Marine transfersthere are seven Carolina lettermenback to boost the Tar Heel team.This gives Carolina an edge overthe other contestants. '

. . . The Remewng Snd.. ‘B’y IRA ANTIN

Almost invariably there are someoutstanding books amongI thosepurchased by. the D. H. ill Li—brary. These books are presentedon the open shelf for circulation tostudents and faculty alike. Theaverage student, however, does notalways find time to browse throughthem every week for the purposeof selecting the ones worth histime. It is for this reason that Iam presenting annotations‘as wellas a partial list of some of thenewer books that are now in thelibrary.As I glanced over, the list, my

eye immediately caught BettySmith’s A Tree Grows In Brook-lyn. This is undOubtedly a remark-ably good first novel. It is poetic-ally written about life in a slumsection of Brooklyn during the firstyears of the twentieth century.Miss Smith sees the misery,squalor, and cruelty of slum life,but sees them with understanding,pity, and sometimes with hilarious

humor. Writing like this is rare.It establishes an‘ intimacy betweenreader and book which is to becherished for many a day.Another widely-acclaimed fic-

tional work is Allan Seager’s Equi-nox. This is also a first full-lengthnovel of an author already wellknown for his short stories. It isan interesting and well-writtenwork, marked by a sensitive andimaginative handling of what thepublishers are pleased to advertiseas “shocking material.” *The following is a partial list of
