From Work of Novel-Making
"A novel is like a good, kind,
understanding man, while a play
is like an undependable vaga
bond." Betty Smith, of "A Tree
Grows in Brooklyn" fame, told
the members of the Carolina
Dames club here Tuesday night.
She added, "Though I'm proud
of my novel, my eyes go down
the road after that vagabond."
Miss Smith explained to the
audience that she considers her
self primarily a playwright,

publication of her second' book
until she has a play produced on
Broadway. She spoke informal

the theatre goes back to when I
was a child in Brooklyn. I
thought I wanted to go on the
stage, but soon learned -that I
was paying more attention to
the 'What if's?' of a play than
to the actors and actresses. I
would go home and wonder
'what would have happened' if
the hero had riot returned just
when he did?' and 'what if the

night with 21 points, played the
entire game,, and seemed to be
that extra spurt of energy that
put Carolina ahead late in the
first half and kept her there all
the time. Aided by lanky Bob
Paxton, and scrappy Taylor
Thorne, McKinney had complete
control of the backboards, a fac
tor which counted no end in last
night's tussle.
Bubber Seward, was held
down to a bare two points in the
first half by the great defensive
playing of Thorne, and later
was taken on by White who
held him to six points.
High scorer for the Demon
Devils from Duke was Ed Kof
fenberger. Big Ed, who played
a particularly rough game,
scored 16 points for Duke.
Just out of the infirmary, John
Dillon, Carolina's ace hook shot
artist, scored 11 points before
he was taken out of the game in
the second half. Dillon missed
but two hook shots during the
game, and played a better than
average defense.
Following is a running account
of the game :
McKinney won the opening
jump, but Duke secured posses
sion of the ball and Gordon
tossed in an overhead shot. Caro
lina returned the ball down
court and Dillon made good a
hook shot to tie the game at 2-2
after two minutes. Dillon fouled
Whiting who missed. Cheek, in
return, fouled Paxton who
missed.

picked up one point. Koffen
berger tossed in a set shot for
two more points. After six min
utes of play, Paxton was injured
and taken from the game.
Thorne and Anderson entered
the contest for Carolina.
Seward picked up one point
on a foul by White. McKinney
made a field goal to put the
Phantoms ahead for the first
time, 9-7. Dillon replaced Ander
son. Thorne fouled Cheek who
made the free toss. A few plays
later, Dillon's hook shot was
good and Duke led, 12-11.
After 12 minutes of play,
Paxton returned to the game
with a bandaged jaw. Seward
fouled Paxton who made a good
shot and tied the score, 12-12.
McKinney made two field goals
in quick order. Paxton made
good a foul shot. Duke came back
with two field goals to make the
score 16-15. Whiting, fouled by
Dillon, picked up one marker.
McKinney sank an overhead
shot to tie the game. Duke came
back with a field goal to again
lead by a two-point margin. With
two minutes of the first half re
maining, the Phantoms hit their
potent pace. White sank a set
shot, McKinney made good an
