Jamesville Ranks As Favorite In Tourney Three Exhibitions Slated for Opening Round Wednesday ?? Roberaonville Girls and Bear Grass Boys Rated In No. 2 Slots ? in the opening round of the annual Martin County High School Basket ball Tournament tomorrow night a large crowd is expected to see the fast-stepping lassies from James ville, champions last year, in action ugain the Williamston sextet in the first exhibition of the opening round. The second game of Wednesday eve ning will find the Farm Life and Bear Grass girls battling it out for a spot in the semi-finals, and the fi - nal battle of the first evening's play oits the Robersonville boys against ^ihc local Green Wave boys. Both of Jaartesville'a teams rank in the top spots of their respective groups in the pre-toumey dope, al though several squads are given an excellent chance to cope top honors. Winning in both diviaions last year, the Jamesville teams have quite an impressive season which just ended. The boys have won seven games and lost one, while the girls have won five, lost one and tied one during the current season Jamesville's boys lone defeat came at the hands of a strong Bear Grass quint here last week in a battle which went into extra periods be fore the outcome was decided In the other meeting of these two teams an extra period had to be played. Also given a chance to capture championship honors in the boys' di vision will be Farm Life's hard working though inexperienced quint. Rating close behind the Jamesville girls, with a fine chance to knock the champs out of the running will be the young ladies from Roberson ville. This sextef has displayed un usual scoring ability and defensive tactics at tunes and will probably be considered the greatest obstacle by the Jamesville followers and team.
