@ felt the CIO was strong enough
to name its own peace terms. He
made no comment on Green's
statement in Washington yester-
day challenging his membership
figures and declaring that "no
patent medicine literature ever
contained more sweeping slnd
misleading claims than this re-
port."
The feeling has been prevalent
among labor experts that definite
action by the CIO to estab'ish it-
jself as a permanent dual organiza-
tion would make doubly difficult
the task of restoring unity in the
trades union movement. But,
Lewis took the opposite view in
,his report. He said that the con-

of the first ten in box office j0f the most effective steps yet

Let the invitation go somewhere

over again.
State's right never were half
so respected in North Carolina as
is the current Duke team. From
the blackest bearded hill billy to
the biggest tobacco planter, the
Blue Devils are treasured and in-
capable of doing any wrong. Let
California ignore them when Rose
Bowl time comes aiound and h^
entire state will be too hopping
mad to remain in the same un-
ion with it.
In Texas, the Alamo no longer
is the sKow thing of the State. T.'
C. U.'s Horned Frog football
team is. And Davy Crockett and
Sam Houston are forgotten he-
roes, having been replaced by
Davey O'Brien and Aldric'h.
Fn fact, there isn't a Texan
who won't fight at the suggestion
that Crockett could fire his famed
"Old Betsy" rifle with as much
accuracy as O'Brien throws pass-
es.

( They had a pretty good ex-

team of the year 1938 is some-
thing to behold when it turns tn
the power as it did in the fourth
period against Vanderbilt. I have-
n't seen the unscored on, untieiW 1
unbeaten Dukes, or the wild*'
scoring Texas Christians, but if
they are any better than the vol-
unteers they're hotter than a
feverish fox in a forest fire.
At the fin'sh of the Vanderbi't
game, even Neyland broke down
and admitted that they were
good. Usually as cheerful as at
embalmer with toothache, the
Tenn. oop.ch faid it was the best
team he had ever coached, even
better than the ones which had
such players as Feathers, McEver,
Hickman and Dodd.

f "It was perfect balance and
' what is more, the squad has more
boys who like to play football, 60
minutes of it, than any squad I
ever saw," Neyland said.
Should the Rose Bowl florists
overlook Duke, Tennessee and T.
C. U. and secession be the result,
the three teams could put up a
' swell figfat. With the Duke line in
, front, and the Vols and the Horn- m
i od Frogs working behind it, even
another Sherman mitrht find it *'
