first of the game one of the two
or three delays occurred when
their number 10 sat down on the
wet court
Betsy Hughes was high scorer
for us with 7 points and Betty
Barnes next with 6. The final
icore was 30-23 in favor of Blow

The boy's B team won handily
with a second half scoring spree,
rhe highlight of the evening was
the varsity boy's victory by the
icore of 49-36. Though behind a

and half was all Appalachian.
Jumpin' Johnny Barnett finally
ran out of guards <ria the per
?onal route and with the easing
up of close guarding he began to
spin them in with regularity, run
ning his total to 1( for the game.
Bill Blackburn also found the
Blowing Rock draperies to his

points during tne evening's fest

the rest of the team. Fine de
fensive play was shown by Trout
man, Edmisten, Blackburn, Trip

consistently broke up the Blow
ing Rock attack and turned it into
points for Appalachian.

chairman of the National Repub
lican committee, will address the
700 North Carolina Republicans
expected to attend the |6-a-plate

The annual Lincoln D*y func
tion will com* at the conclusion
of the annual convention of
North Carolina Young Republi
cans scheduled to be held at
Hotal Charlotte on the same
date. The convention will begin
at 2 p. m. and the dinner 'at 8:30.
The dinner will be informal
It will be Mr. Gabrielsoa's first
appearance in the Southeast
sfnce he became head of the na
tional GOP last August and ef
forts are being made througN
national headquarters to have his
Charlotte address broadcast over
a nation-wide radio network.
A New Jersey attorney and a
native of Iowa, Chairman Ga
brieison was largely responsible
for New Jersey's elacUni a Re
publican senator in 1948. He per
sonally purchased and mailed to
the homes of a million workers
an illustrated pamphlet, "Before
and After the Taft-Hartley Act,"'
which has been credited with
being overwhelmingly effective
in Keeping New Jersey in the
GOP column.

cerns and a trustee of Colby col

persons.
The number of persons at work
on farms in late November to
taled slightly more than nine
million, about the same as a year
ago.
?the boys on the squad generally
outnumber the spectators. It's a
good team that will overcome a
nine point deficit and win by
thirteen points when all the en
couragement they hear derives
from the cheerleaders and an
equal number of fans.

Not To Ettfar Contest
Durham ? William B. U mate ad
issued a statement last night
that be will not bo A candidate
for the U. S. Senate in the com
ing primary.
He said "conditions resulting
from a surgical operation on
Dec. . JO" caused him to decide
against running. .
1 Umstead, a former Senator, had
been looked upon as a likely
[rival of Sen. Frank P. Grftham of
Chapel Hill for the Democratic
nomination..
i Umstead's statement did not
[give the nature of his illness. But
he said 1 have been assured
that I have no permanent disabi
lity and that my condition will
be cleared up within a reasonable
time. I expect to return to my of
fice by the middle of next week,"
iHe is a lawyer.
I The State is in the unusual
position this year of having to
elect two Senators. Both incum
bents, Graham and Sen. Clyde
R. Hoey of Shelby, have an
nounced they will run.
In Washington, Graham said
"I am glad the Hon. William B.
Umstead will not run but I re
gret very much his ill health. He
.would be a formidale opponent,
'worthy of the best* in any man.
I have and always have had high
esteem and warm regards for him.
I wish for him a speedy and com
plete recovery."
And Hoey said that Umstead
"has won a high place in the af
fections and esteem of the
people of North Carolina, and
there is no doubt they shall de
sire future service from him."
There has been talk that if
Umstead did not run for the
Senate he would run for Gover
nor three years from now.
Umstead was appointed to the
Senate in Jan. 1947, to succeed
Sen. Josiah W. Bailey, who died
a month before.
He was defeated in the 1948
primary by J. Melvile B rough
ton.
Broughton died soon after tak
ing office in 1949, and Graham,
then president of the University
of North Carolina, was appoint
ed to succeed him.
Under State law, Graham has
to run in the next general elec
tion.
Hoey's six-year term expires
this year.
Another former Senator, Ro
bert R. Reynolds, of AjbcriUe,
has announced be is "itraoftT
inclined to run and will make an
announcement by Jan. IS." He is
considered a possible opponent
for Hoey.
The State traditionally elects
one Senator from the East and
one from the West
