Is Scheduled To Get Under Way At 3:30 O’clock All eyes will be turned on the fifth renewal of gridiron rivalry between the Mountain Lions of North Wilkesboro high school and the Ramblers of Wilkesboro high school when these teams meet on the fairgrounds turf Friday afternoon. Neither team has the strength they boast^ in the fall 0? 1929 when they first clashed, but their lighter men are well drilled in the fupdamentals of the game and can be depended upon to stage a real battle. It is a common remark that Wilkesboro can lose every game on its schedule and still put up a great fight against North Wilkesboro. Judging from recent performances, the task of the Ramblers is to stop the passing attack of the Mountain Lions featuring Buford Jones, Byron Gentry and Wood Johnson. And apparently, the North Wilkesboro line must find some way to stop Paul Jenkins, newly discovered backfield star of the Ramblers. The game is scheduled to get under way at 3:30 o’clock and is expected to draw the largest football crowd of the sea son. Following is the probable starting lineup for the two elevens: PROBABLE LINEUP Poeitkn Wilkesboro Left End Archie Tates Left Tackle James Hamby Left Guard - Paul Fergnaon Center O. G.
