rispomi mm Ou/v OpWj0*/ By CLINT FULLER Hats off and hearty congratulations to the Phantoms of Youngsville on another successful season. Disappointed though they may be over last night's loss to Red Springs which brought the long season to an end, the Phantoms have nothing to concern themselves over except praise. Defending the state championship this year after four of the five starters graduated was not an easy task but their 21-7 overall record shows they did a pretty good job of it. Such powers as Meadow, Franklinton, Vance County, Red Spring and others made the job a mite more difficult. They have represented the county well and Franklin fans are proud of them. And as they say about this time of year . . . wait until next year. This column needs some information on the baseball season from all squads except Louisburg. Coach Tommy Twitty has done his good deed for the day. He brought in a schedule and a roster. Hope some other coaches will follow his example. Most of the players, we feel sure, would like to be covered. It would be a great help' to baseball overall if the College gets its diamond lighted and if Bunn does the same. Lights on the Louisburg High School field are inadequate for night time baseball. More spectators could view the games at night and more interest means a stronger and better program. Louisburg has an ambidextrous ball player, which brings on some interesting observations. John Davis, a pitcher-third baseman, throws equally well righthanded and lefthanded. He also bats with equal ability both ways. Twitty lists him on the roater as 'Throws ? R-L and Bats - R-L". Now when he pitches does he toss righthandedly to the lefthanded batters and lefthandedly to the righthanded hitters? How aobut pitching lefthandedly one day and while resting the southpaw soup bone, tosses righthandedly the next day. Any rules against this? All eyes will be glued to the TV set tonight as Carolina goes against Purdue for the dubious honor of meeting UCLA Saturday afternoon. This is assuming that the Uclans get by Drake tonight which is about as certain as death and taxes. Not so certain is that the Tarheels minus Grubar and with a pouting Scott can take the Boilermakers. To do so, the Heels must play a super game. We hope they will.

L i ttle pre season infor mation has been released by the coaches but according to reliable reports, there is some hope that at least some league games can be played at night under the Louisburg College 4ights or at the soon-to-be lighted Bunn athletic field.
