CHILDREN'S HOME, WILKESBORO
STATE'S TOP OFFENSIVE TEAMS,
PLAY HERE MONDAY NIGHT,
Children's Home and Wilkes
boro, the two highest scoring
teams in North Carolina high
school football, will meet Monday
night, 7:30 o'clock, in Memorial
Park here in one of the state's
outstanding sports events for the
week.
At least three of the top can
didates for all-state high school
honors will be in this battle of
offensive football. Bay Triplett,
WiP.esboro's ace backfield man
who has a record for numerous
backs to shoot at. will be Wilkes
boro's candidate for all-state.
On the Children's Home team
are two backs who have been
mentioned week after week for
their gridiron exploits. One is
Red Smith, the near imcompar
able competitive player who will
be sought by practically every
college football organization. The
other is Bill Proctor, who is rap
idly catching up with Smith in
Children's Home overwhelming
' touchdown parade this year.
Children's Home this year has
;reezed through the South Pied
mont conference with decisive
victories and big scores in every
game. They defeated the Raleigh
i Caps AA team by a big mar
i gin. In addition they have knock
ed off other powerful teams sup
posed to have been out of their
; class.
Wilkesboro's only loss this
season was to Wilmington early
in the season?the Ramblers'
first game?and since that loss
! Wilkesboro has overwhelmed just
about all opposition in the High
land conference, having a close
game only in the contest with
Appalachian on a sloppy field.
One of Wilkesboro's major ac
complishments was a compara
tively easy 28 to 7 triumph over
previously unbeaten Elkin.
Monday night's game should
draw a record crowd for a foot
ball game in North Wilkesboro.

BLUE RIDGE MAI INCREASE
TO EIGHT TEAMS; SPIERS WILL
r BE PRESIDENT NEXT SEASON
Blue Ridge baseball league may
increase to eight teams in 1960
and will be in much strong posi
tion, was the concensus of opin
ion expressed by directors follow
ing the league meeting in Galax
Sunday.
John B. Spiers Radford attor
ney, was re-elected president for
the coming year. Spiers succeeded
Judge Bivins, of Mt. Airy, during
the 1949 season. Harvey Laffon,
Elkin publisher and president of
the Elkin club, was elected vice
president, succeeding Hubert
White, of Galax. C. R. Williams
was named assistant to the presi
dent, with work with the um
piring staff being his specific
duty.
The meeting showed clearly
that rumors of the league break
ing up to form a new league in
Virginia were without foundation,
and the present six clubs are ex
pected to be ready to go when
they iron out their individual fi
nancial problems.
The Blue Ridge league is seek
ing addition of two clubs to form
an eight-club circuit. One of the
possibilities eyed by the league is
Martinsville, Va., which may or
may not withdraw from the class
B Carolina league. Leaksville, N.
the stellar freshman from Wilkes
boro, will play in the game for
Appalachian. Jack was originally
a member of the "Baby Moun
taineers" this season, but was
drafted for varsity duty, aiding
greatly in pulling Appalachian
from early season doldrums into
a conference power.
Another former Wilkesboro
high school player to see action
for Appalachian will be Bill Whit
tington, who at Wilkesboro prov
ed to be one of the state's out
standing high school quarterbacks
in T formation play. A knee in
jury kept (Whittington out of
action for weeks this season but
he has been pronounced ready and
is expected to play much of the
game here.
Catawba is reported to have a
B team made up principally of
fast and powerful freshmen who
are calculated to help Catawba's
effort to get back on top of the
heap in the North State confer
ence.
The quarterback club has al
eady placed tickets on sale at
$1.00 each for adults and 50 cents
each for students.
Success of the B game here
may aid the Quarterback Club in
efforts to schedule a college var
sity game in North Wilkesboro.
C., Marion and Abingdon, Va., are
other communities definitely in
terested in pro ball.
Directors in annual meeting set
the player limit for next season
at 17, allowing eight rookies, two
class men and seven limited serv
ice men (less than three years of
pro ball).
The North Wilkesboro club was
represented at the league meeting
by Larry S. Moore, business man
ager.
