1 ? Appalachian Hi School Hews Basketball Ntwi The local high school's 1940 bas ketball quintet got off to a good start by defeating Blowing Rock 28-15 be fore the Christmas vacation. Al though Blowing Hock scored the ffrct basket, the Blue Devils soon carae ahead and from the first quar ter on kept the lead. With only two days' practice after the holidays, the Blue Devils won their second game by conquering Bethel 29-7. Fine teamwork by both first and second fives and especial ly the good defensive play kept the Bethel boys from scoring a field goal until the last quarter. On Januflty 5 the team extended its winning streak to three games when they defeated Appalachian State's "B" team 29-24. The game was a hard-fought, hotly contested duel all the way, neither team gain ing a decisive lead until the closing minutes when the high school man aged to forge phtad by 5 points. High scorer for the game was Hal Shoemaker with 8 points. High for the high school were Edmisten and Cuddy with 8 points each. The fol lowing boys played for the high school: Co-captains Aldridge and Cuddy, Edmisten, Calloway, Hodges, Greene, Norris and B4ackburn. The next home game will be a stiff one against Walkertown. Last year the Walkertown . boys beat Boone 29-12 and the Blue Devils are pointing for revenge.

Homeroom Project At their Monday morning busi ness meeting, the eleventh grade boys voted to change their second project.

This help will be greatly appreciated by the school administration as well as the play ers. Girls' Basketball Friday night, Jan. 3, the Blue Devilettes met the Bethel team on Appalachian's court.
