season. The boys will be facing their
fifth conference game of the season,
with a strong team from Chapel Hill
high school coming here for the clash.
Both of the coaches of the high
school teams have been making in
tensive efforts to get their charges in
the begt possible shape for their
games tonight, which will be one of
the features of the season, since it
will be the first time of the year that
the teams have offered a double head
er on the cage floor, with both boys
and girls playing. Interesting tetfts

DUKE AND STATE
TO MEET SATURDAY
Tomorrow To Be Bis Day
For Athletic Tea mi of
Blue DeviU
Durham. Jan. 22.—Athletically, to
morrow will be a big day at Duke
with the N. C. State-Duke varsity bas
ketball game at 8:30 o'clock headlin
ing the show.
In the eafternoon at 3:15 o'clock
Coach Add Warren's grapplers will
meet their second foe of the season
the V. M. I. matmen. The Duke boys
recently opened their card by defeat
ing Carolina’s wrestlers 16-14.
While the varsity basketball game
between the undefeated Red Terrors
and the Duke sophomores is the main
attraction of the day’s show, there Is
much Interest In the wrestling mat
ches of the afternoon. The Cadets will
put a strong team against the Devils,
composed of veterans from last year's
powerful outfit.
Duke's freshman cagers, who meet
the State yearlings at 7:15 tomorrow
night in a preliminary to the varsity
event, have annexed their opening two
games, downing Wake Forest and
then the Benedictine school. The State
yearlings defeated Wuke Forest Tues
day night, 9-3, in a game in which field
goals were absent.
The varsity battle at night will have
an important bearing on the 1932 Big
Five race. At present, Duke, Carolina
and N. C. State are tied for first place
honors, but the Wake Forest-Carolina
game tonight may drop the Tar Heels
from the out In front list or put them
In top position.
It will be a clash of high scoring
guards and brilliant centers. Captain
Bud Rose and Gilbert Clark of State
and John Shaw and Herb Thompson
of Duke are slated to furnish part of
the fireworks which the persona] duel
at center between Claude Morgan,
State’s elongated pivot man. and Ray
Alpert, the eleading scorer in Big Five
circles, should attract much of the
fan’s attention.
