MAKIN' MACON
? Sports Rounds
By J. P. BRADY
Hie inside' of the Franklin
High gym has all the radiating
splendor of a highly decorated
Christmas tree. Since the glori
ous and lucrative Yule is a
thing of the past, at least for
another year, only one thing
can be putting out with elec
trically colored lighting. Yep,
you guessed it . . . the new
basketball scoreboard is now in
stalled and Friday night drew
more glances from admirers
than our own male and female
cagers. It is one of those "if
you can't go first class, don't
go at all" scoreboards and does
everything but sweep up the
gym and toss pop battles at the
officials.
The way it keeps time is
amazing (just like the one in
the N. C. State college cole
crowd-em-ln). The timer backs
up by the minutes as tempus
fugits, reeling off the minutes
of play left, thusly ? 60-59-58-57,
and so on down to goose egg.
And all of this counting dis
play Is In red, yet!
Just in case all of the above
Isn't too clear ? and we suspect
that it isn't ? don't give up the
ghost, Just take a little time out
some Tuesday or Friday night
and ankle over to the school
and see for yourself. After
you've looked It over, settle
down for a spell and watch
some first class basketball, as
demonstrated by the Franklin
lads and lassies and some of
their opponents.
Still on the scoreboard, all
this column did was make with
the hot air on raising donations.
Hie actual work, or oollectlng,
and it is still going on, is be
done by Emory Hunnicutt,
who misses few "here" or
"there" games and likes his
sports with a capital S. Mr.
Hunnicutt has been the work
horse behind this scoreboard
deal, so if you haven't contri
buted to the deal as yet, slip
him a little change the next
time you see him and take some
of the load off his shoulders.
There is still a big balance due
on the board, so get behind the
deal and put it across.
Whodunit?
It seems that some near
sighted bucket jockey (motor
ist) has mistaken the local golf
course for US 23, and -short
putted, using his car, up and
down and around fairways 6
and 7. This carbon monoxide
type of vandalism is almost un
believable, but its true. We can't
for the life of us figure out why
anyone would turn something
like a golf course into a race
track. Well, it takes all kinds
of melon heads to make a !
world! I
