Three seconds after the opening whistle sounded, the Martins had scored on a lightning-like pass play, climaxed by Wallace's crip shot From then on, the scoring orgy con tinued. the locals holding a 20-4 lead at the quarter and a 42-17 advantage at the half During the second half, the Mar tins let up on defense, allow ing the Kinstonians to score 27 points, most ly long shots.

The entire local squad played, and all had a hand in the point-mak ing Leading the losing cause for the Key Kagers were Capt. Jeff Kilpa trick, with 16 points, and Sid String fellow, with 14, which were usual ly spcctaculaf OFU'-lmtlfltHl nlintirr?? Trickster Pap Diem put on a lit tle act of fancy ball handling in the waning moments of the game and drew a big hand of applause from the capacity crowd when he left the game shortly afterward: YVilliamston OFT Giant, f ?T2 1 25 Manning, f-c 1 0 2 Brock, c 14 2 30 Diem, g 1 0 2 Anderson, g * 3 0 6 Wallace, f-g 4 - 0 8 Beaird, g 2 0 4 Lauteres, g 4 0 8 Totals 41 3 85 Kinston G F T Stringfellow, f 7 0 14 Wooten, f 3 1 7 Kilpatrick, e tr ?tr 16 Smith, g 0 0 0 Welles, g o. 0 0 Baker, g 3 i 7 Totals 21 2 44 HIGH SPOTS In The TOURNEY Former and present Coastal Plain [ league baseball players participating in the tourney included the follow-. ' ing Doigt Morris and Earl Smith, with Goldsboro's All-Stars; Stuart j Flvthe and Darden Archer, with the | |Nrw Bern: Bears; Sid Stringfellow, j with Kinston; and Jeff Grant. Breezy | Beaird and Pap Diem, with William - ton's Martins. The ole dope bucket received a terrific kick on opening night when a growling band of New Bern Bears took the Classy Goldsboro All-Stars in camp by a 4ti-43 score in a ding-dong bat tle that was by far the feature game of the first night. Golds Intro was seeded No. 1 in the tourney. The Wilhamston Martins, display ing a fancy passing attack as well as | a sharpshooting club, won the ad miration of a majority of the fans, j and several of the locals were singled j out by various individuals for their [basketball ability. Although the tourney was under way shortly after seven o'clock Wed nesday night, it was aftei mac belfar ere the first game was completed between the Windsor Rebels and the Washington Gunners, with the Gun ners taking a 45-32 victory in a game that was bitterly fought and at times resembled football more than bas ketball This observer overheard a large number of fans say that Williamston's Pap Diem was the best all-around player in the tourney. And there are some outstanding stars in action. The sponsors of the tourney have gone to considerable expense in ar ranging this year's affair, and it is without a doubt one of the best that will be held* in the state this year. The armory is well healed and dec orated, the crowd is colorful, there is a different brass band (in person) each night, and also music between halves and games over the public address system. Belhaven Crumbles Under Fierce Attack Of Williamston Five lirtx'k Scores 20 More Paint* To Kim HUToUl To SO In Two Comes Wilhamston's Martins moved into the finals of the Washington Tour nament last night by trouncing the Belhaven All-Stars by a 55 23 count The locals outclassed the losers from the start and it was quite evident that victory would be theirs. Leading the Martins in point-mak ing for the second straight night was Don Brock, who scored 20 points, making a total of 50 for two games. Jeff Grant, with 10, and Pap Diem, with 9. ranked next Belhaven's offense was stalled as the local never allowed the opposi Hon to get within the foul circle and their points were mostly long shots. In the last quarter with the game m the bag. the locals became more lenient, allowing the losers to score 12 of their 23 points. Tonight at 9:15. the Martins will meet a strong team, posing as the Washington Gunners, which defeat ed the New Bern Bears last night in the other semi-final game This team includes Boyd Owen and Jim Wal ler, of last year's Wake Forest quint, and they will be hard to beat, but the Martins will be out with the de trrmma+mo t?r hrmg- home VTrtnry= and the awards.

CRITCHER, f9-4t Substituted Trustee Williamston Takes Final Exhibition From Ozarks. 45-31 Headline Attrartlous ScIhhI tiled Here In Near Future # The Williams ton Martins math- a clean sweep of their two-game ser ies with the Ozark Hill Billies girls' team by turning in a 45-31 victory over the lassies in a game here on Tuesday night. The Martins were never extended greatly as they scored their 25th win of the season, against 6 losses, and Tuesday night s win gave them a record of 5 out of 6 against profes sional touring teams of national rep utation. Incidentally, the lone set hack was by .? narrow margin of three points, and that in their first attempt against the traveling clubs. So We have a team here of which we should be proud. Using only straight basketball in the second game with the Billies, the locals tallied almost at will, and though they were trailing at half time. 21-23, they soon forged to the head after the second half began, and sewed up the victory Pacing the Martins wa| the eve* dependable Fenner Wallace, who dropped in 16 points and also played a good floor game. Jeff Grant, with 12. and Pap Diem, with H ranked next in the scoring parade. Leading the lassies for the evening was Miss Nabors, a blonde forward, while Miss rhrrrow. another blonde, featured the floor play, and scored 6 markers. As was expected, there was sever al bits of comedy to enliven the pro ceedings. the highlight being when Miss Harrow turned the tables on ball against his head. This will probably be the last professional team to appear here this season, but Manager Critcher has booked some of the outstanding trams rrf eastern North Curotina ffntt Virginia to play here ere the sea m?ii closes.
