Eagles Lose Again
As Martins Defeat
E. C. T. C. Varsity
Well, it looks as though it isn't in
the books for the local Eagles to win
a basketball game over the Bees of
East Carolina Teachers College. In
their third and probably final effort
to take a victory over their jinx team
the practically bald Eagles were
turned back in a close game there
Tuesday night. The score was 18 to
17.
The Eagles took a short-lived 4 to
2 lead early in the game, and man
aged to stay ahead during the first
period, but the second period the
Bees rallied and held a one point
lead at half time, the count being
8-T. In the second half the teams bat
tled on even terms over all the route,
each team scoring ten points, the re
sult being another one-point loss for
the locals.
Three Eagles, Rose, Ward and
Cooke, each tallied four points to
share scoring honors for the locals,
while Rogerson, big center, was high
for the Bees, with eight. This game

was the last one for Catfish Tom
Skinner, who leaves this week to
join Uncle Sam's fighting forces as
a Marine, and the locals chose him
as captain for the night. It's a shame
they didn't present him with a vie
tory for a going-away gift.
In another thriller, the local Mar
tins edged out a hard fought victory
over the E. C. T. C. Varsity in the
feature attraction of the night. The
first half was about even and the
half-time score was knotted at 17
all. During the third quarter the Mar
tins spurted to run their advantage
to a nine-point lead, but the fourth
period saw the Pirates make a des
perate effort to pull a victory from
the fire, but could come only within
three points, and the final count

a field goal and Taylor made a free

31 to 28 score.
For the Martins, Lil Artie Diem,
with 14 points and a good defensive
game, was the leader, and he was
followed by Shorty Corey, who bag

defensive game Despite an injured
