■ ■ 11" 1 » in ——— ii M A Today’s Sport Parade (Reg. U. 8. Pat Office) By Harry Ferguson g Durham. N. C„ Jan. I.—(UP)—A poet ollie observed that you could call a rose anything you wished and still it would atnell pretty sweet. Well, they didn't change the name of the Rose Bowl game when they switched Its site, but our friend's remark has lost none of Its truth. The 1942 rose game will be just as good as all the others and maybe a bit better. For despite a war, sectional differences and doxeiw of the heart breaking Irritations which always develop when time Is short, the people of Durham and Duke have risen splendidly to what so easily could have been a sad occasion. They haven't merely salvaged a great uports event; they have added to Its prestige and increased Its stature. University officials, city politicos or just fans- these folks have reconstructed the game spiritually

as well as materially. Maybe Colorado street is 3.000 miles away, maybe North Carolina's supply of roses Is limited, and maybe there will he more topcoats than summer suits among the 58,000 spectators what do those things matter? The game Is going on. and It will be one remembered when the hair on the player's heads has grown white or vanished altogether. It will remain a symbol of all that the word Sportsmanship means long after the score has been forgotten. If you'll pardon u bromide, that's because thousands of plain lolks have put their shoulders to the wheel. Ordinarily, this column would have been devoted to the teams which play today or to the records they have complied. Somehow, 1 can't do that now. For ! have seen too many things which appear to me to be more important. Pieced together, they form a picture of a people responsible to an emergency call with a will that Is bard tor a cynic to believe. I have walked through the piney

, king, retained his crown after meeting all comers. Erwin Rudolph . became the pocket billiards champion. Joe DiMaggio was selected the - outstanding baseball player of the year because of his hitting in M I consecutive games to give the Yankees a pennant and another world series. Betty Hicks Newell captured the women's golf championship. (JnUmatioital lUultrattd Newt)

i fastness surrounding Duke stadi him and seen men working far InI to the dusk erecting extra seats, stringing wires and making ready a turf which had been put away for ihe winter. I have seen the governor of this state and the mayor of this city relinquish their boxes so that others might see the game. I have heard Wallace Wade and Lon Stiller praise each other nut for the teams they have developed but for the type of lioys they have developed I have watched strangers share what hotel rooms could be hud and sen restaurant owners work long past their closing hours to satisfy the crowd —at no Increase In prices, either, mind you. In short, I have seen a city of XO.IMIo put on in three weeks a show which usually Involves a year <d solid effort The city han sold tickets, provided a stadium and en-l tertalned more visitors than at any | time before. And somehow it has fostered more friendships In a week than duxens of other foolhall events do In scorns of yearn. Durham and Duke didn't do thin all alone, of course. When the referee yells "play ball" Imlay many hundreds of Californians and Oregonians wll know they have helped to make those words possible. They didn’t drive themselves just to save the gale receipts er to prove either team was the better. They went all out because Ihey happen to love football. So I. for one, don't care which team wins today. I don't care ahout the site of the score or the coats or the heroes. The real victory already has been won -the game goes on and three states are linked by bonds which no amount of publicity or legislation ever could have provided. I'm satisfied merely to have been here and ms s tch a miracle occur. <■»"■ — H. 8. BASKETBALL Muncie Tourney Fort Wayne Nur th Hide 8. Elwood 27. Muncie Burris 35. Tipton Ul.

t Decatur Public Library Notes e— ——- - — m The picture this week at the library Is "Their Country's Call." The Inauguration of President Lincoln found th* nation filled with suppressed excitement. The future of the American people depended to a considerable extent upon his decisions and actions. The uncertainty was increased by the fact that Lincoln was an untried man In the face of secession. President Buchanan had stood helpless, taking no effective measures to enforce the laws of the I'nlted States in the south. On March 4. 1881. he turned over the responsibilities of his office to an Illinois lawyer.
