The game was hard fought January, the year of our Lord all the way. Louisburg pressed nineteen hundred and fifty-three, and was pressed, perhaps too hard, '^hen they seemed to get the game The Cary boys who were off on basketball mixed up with a their shooting had a rough night ^alf dozen other sports.

J Angels (students) played one of As the game seesawed back and forth, Cary started to gradually edge ahead. Coach Norberg then called time to give his boys their Hadac'ol so that they might have renewed strength to fight . back with. The boys went back in to give the Cary boys a rough time, while gradually decreasing the score. As the half ended Louis burg was only slightly behind in scoring. The second half was a new game. I don’t know how Coach could get two games for one, but he told me that it was a brand new ball game. It must be nice to get two games for the price of one. It’s too varsity can two-in-one games. Everyone was scoring; so there isn’t any need to tell the high scor ers. There just isn’t room to put the most exciting and comical (al most hysterical) games ever wit nessed on the Louisburg gym floor. The spectators were held speech less as the game went on with Mrs. Cowart climbing a stepladder making the Wildcats’ first goal. The girls’ game continued with such exciting and spectacular plays as that of a man jumping through a hoop held by a lion until the score was tied at the end 12 to 12. Following the tragic girls’ game came the beautifully dressed men’s teams on to the floor.

Campbell Is Defeated In a most prised game at Louisburg, Campbell College fell short to the worked up team of Louisburg. Our boys were out for the game from the start, and it took hustling all the way to win, but Louisburg got the game in the bag. At the end of the regulation game the score was 65-65. The game went into overtime and with only one of the first string boys in the game, the second string did the trick. They were just too fast for the Campbell boys and Coach Earl Smith. High scorer for the game was Roy Earp with 27 points. All were hustling and the coach was sweat ing, but it was worth it. By-the- way, the final score was 72-69 in favor of L. C. ”So We'll Go No More a Roving" So, we’ll go no more a roving So late into the night. Though the heart be still as lov ing, And the moon be still as bright. For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast. And the heart must pause to breathe. And love itself have rest. Though the night is made for loving. And the day returns too soon. Yet we’ll go no more a roving By the light of the moon. Lord Byron A Bit of Wit 'V//r/?£ SHE IS NOU),*' Louisburg Is Avenged Here we sit. Hand in hand Fingers clasp Interwine, Here we sit Hand in hand Hers in hers Mine in mine. -Lenoir Rhynean Friday, Feb. 13, proved to be lucky for the Louisburg cagers as they trampled Wilmington Sea- hawks 111-86 in revenge for a 82-80 defeat at Wilmington. Trailing at the end of the first quarter by four points, the York- men began to pull away with Bob by Manning and Roy Earp leading the way by pouring in points from all angles to give a 44-30 lead at half-time. Louisburg continued to hit the basket so rapidly that at the end qf tl^e third quarter Louisburg lead by 19 points. The team flooded the baskets with points; but, when the final horn sounded, Louisburg had pulled a Hank Snow by moving on to score 111 points to Wilmington’s 86 total. Leading scorers for Louisburg were Morris, Manning, and Bar bour with 30, 27, and 17 points re spectively. Lee and Phelps lead WilrAington with 18 and 17 respec tively. We wish to take this opportun ity to praise the two referees for calling a fair game. They called one out of every four for twenty- five per cent accuracy. As the game ended, Louisburg was still struggling desperately to overcome the slight lead. Maybe next time, the referees will be on our side and wel’ll win.

Slip In a conference game at Wil mington the Seahawks from Wil mington handed Louisburg a close defeat by the score of 82-80. This game was a close, hard fought game that saw the two teams tied up 11 times during the evening. Wilmington has a surprisingly good team this year and should give someone a fit for top honors in the conference. However, they had better watch out and be mighty alert when they come back to Louisburg. One losss is enough. High scorer for the Wilmington team was Raynor with ,26, and Gary Morr.is made 22 points for Louisburg.

Louisburg College continued their bid for a good spot in the North Carolina Junior College play-off by defeating the Cadets from E. M. I. in a conference game by the score of 83-71. It was a clean game and undisputed from the first. Gary (Goose) Morris was the high scorer for the game with 25 points. He was superb in the fact that he didn’t miss his first seven shots from the floor. Ben Price was also excellent in his snaging the rebounds.
