NEW YORK—Twice before
colorful and aggressive Wladimiro

Martini & Rossi Saber Trophy,
one of the most highly coveted
prizes in international fencing.
But this year, the short tough
Calarese faced the most formid

Olympic champion Tibor Pesza
of Hungary.
The capacity crowd in the

favor of . Calarese. The Italian
competitor is an exchange stu

FOOTBALL SIASON NIARS
Football lovers are aware of
the (act that the upcoming
gridiron season is just around
the corner. Viewers got chance
to see the Cleveland Browns
outlast the College All-Stars
24-16 last Friday night and
were entertained with two addi
tional football games on Satur
day and Sunday afternoons. So
with the World Series teams
still unknown and baseball is
about to reach its highest peak
for the season, fans are faced
with a double problem.
Besides knowing that the
professional season is well un
derway with the exhibition
titles, high gridders in this area
are aware of the fact that foot
ball practice Is drawing nigh.
Monday, August 16, will be D-
Day for the high school pig
skiners. High schools in North
Carolina usually start practice
on August IS but since this
date falls on Sunday, drills will
begin the first thing Monday
morning.
Head coaches Russell Blunt
and Harry Edmonds are pre
paring to send their chargers
through rough preseasons in
preparation for the big openers
in September. Both coaches
have had squad meetings with
their boys to discusss physical
examinations but organized
practice will start Monday.
Both coaches will be faced
with the same problems as the
pi "skin sport drills start, as
neither one has an experienced
quarterback returning. Hillside
and Merrick-Moore lost their
first and second string signal
callers via the graduation route
last spring. Knowing that this
spot is the key to a winning
team, both coaches will be dig
ging early to find the number
one signal caller. .
Merrick-Moore won the NC-1
HSAC State 3-A football title'
last year and is hoping for noth-1
ing better than another state I
title. Hillside enjoyed an av-1
erage season last fall winning '
half of its eight games. But the |
masterfully minds of Blunt and
Edmonds along with their able
assistants will develop teams in
the Durham areas that the
spectators will enjoy coming
out to see.
Speaking of football, the punt
returning of Walter Roberts
and Leroy Kelly and the run
ning of Jimmy Brown -were the
deciding factors in the All-Star
game last Friday. Playing un
der intermit rain, the Cleveland
Browns were almost forced to
use their explosive ground at
tack against the All-Stars. Un
able to gain much through the
airways, the Browns had to
stick with their running game.
Still the All-Stars held their
own but the difference in the
contest wps the punt returning
of Cleveland's speed merchants.
Roberts and Kelly. A 45-yard
return by Roberts and a 37-yard
scamper by Kelly set up the
Browns lone two touchdowns

HATS OFF TO SPONSORS
Some type of encouragement
should be passed along to com

who have devoted their time
and money toward making
teams in our local Softball
leagues look uniformal. The
six teams in the Bull City Worn
league were all in uniforms
this season. A few teams in the

Willie Bradshaw and Christo

the last stanza after two outs
against Service Printing for an
almost impossible win. Trailing
6-2 going into the last stanza,

base on balls.
