Tonight is the big night of the Mar
tin County Basketball Tournament
when the 1942 champions will be de
cided. 1>ie first game, pairing James
ville's girls and Robersonville, will
fc JJldt underway at 8:00 o'clock War
Vtme, with the boys' finals between
Jamesville and Bear Grass to fol
low. . ' ' ? ? ' I
Both of the Jamesville teams
reached the finals with practically
no trouble, the girls defeating Wil
liamston Wednesday night 35-6, and
the boys overpowering Williamston
last night 39-13. But the Bear Grass
boys and Robersonville girls had a
hard fight and had to go the limit j
in earning their present positions
Bear Grass boys outlasted Farm Life
to win by a four-point margin in
the final period last night, while the
Robersonville girls staged an upset
over Bear Grass.
Looking back over the past sea
son's records, it is found that these
four teams support the most impress
ive averages. The Jamesville girls
squad played the entire season with
out a defeat and a lone tie?that
setback coming at the hands of Rnb
ersonville's lassies. The Jamesville
hoys were handed only one defeat,
Bear Grass ekeing out a one-point
margin in an over-time period here
a short time ago. The other James
villa-Bear Grass boys' game this
season also went into an extra period
with Jamesville winning by a nar
row margin.
Although both Jamesville teams,
defending champions, are again fa
vored to capture the honors, it looks
like they will meet real opposition,
and fans will turn out in large num
bers to witness what will really hap
pen in the high school gym here to
night.
Immediately after the last game,
cups will be presented to the cham
pions in special ceremonies.

Boar Grass 19, Farm Life 15 (boys)
In the semi-finals of the county
court tourney held here last night,
a seemingly favored Bear Grass girls
team fell by the wayside, James
ville's boys displayed, a scoring at
tack which had Williamston giddy,
and Bear Grass boys eked out a 19-15
decision over a spirited Farm Life
squad in the fastest and most inter
esting game of the series.
That just about tells the story of
what happened to put the honored
teams in the final play-off. Here's
a few interesting bits on how it hap
pened
Kobersonville Girls Rally
By staging a last quarter rally
which was good for six points, the
lassies from Kobersonville conquer
ed a favored Bear Grass team, the
final score being 13-11
I) Rogerson opened up scoring ac
tivities to put Bear Grass in the lead
4-3 at the end of the first period, and
added two more field goals to in
crease her team's lead to 9-5 at the
half-way mark. The third period
found both teams offering a strong
defense two foul shots by Jo Everett,
Robersonvillc forward, accounting
for the only scores Then field goals
by J Everett and L. Everett proved
the necessary margin for victory.
I) Rogerson, of Bear Grass, was
high scorer with 9 points. L. Everett
was best for Kobersonville with six.
Jamesville Boys Easily
la d by the outstanding play of G.
Ange, the Jamesville boys had little
or no bpposition from Williamston
in the second game of last night's
play, winning by a count of 39-13.
Ange, who gave quite an exhibi
tion of shooting from all angles of
the court, dropped in eight field
goals and a free shot to lead the scor
ing attack, while Capps followed
with t ight points. For Williamston,
Robert Jones played the part of the
"Mighty Mite" as he offered a bang
up performance against large odds,
and scored five points to lead his
mates in the losing cause.
The Best Yet!
In a battle which reminds one of
the British-German tilt in Africa,
Bear Grass' boys well earned their
spot in the finals with a 19-15 vic
tory over a steady Farm Life team.
Bear Grass opened up with two
in Id goals and a free shot to hold I
5 3 edge at the end of the first period,
but Farm Life closed up the margin
to 10-9 by half-time Close guarding
made easy chances a premium and

One ? Point Decision
Over Eagles Tuesday
And So the "Eagles" Become
"Sparrows" in Semi
Pro Division
The local Eagles had their winning
streak halted Tuesday night when
they dropped a 23-22 decision to the
Farm Life Independents on the win
ners' court in a thrilling encounter.
The game was a battle royal all
the way, with the winners taking an
early 7-2 lead by the end of the first
period. During the next quarter the
Eagles found the range and by the
half they were holding a 15-11 lead.
During the second half the Eagle
offense bogged down to a low of 7
points, and the Independents grad
ually climbed to take a 3-polnt lead
on Harrington's two field goals in
the last two minutes of the game.
With only seconds to go, Corey's fol
low-up cut the margin to one-point,
to conclude the night's scoring.
The Independents used two full
teams in chalking up their win, and
their scoring was divided among sev
eral players. Earl Griffin, with sev
en points, and Harrington, with five,
were high, while the lowly Eagles
were paced by Corey, with 12 points
on four field and four foul goals,
and Dawse Cooke with six points.

Eagles To Play Farm
Lifers Independents
The local Eagles will play the
Farm Life Independents on the new
Farm Life gym Monday night at
8:30 p. m. War Time.
The Eagles are still smarting from
their one-point setback at the hands
of the Independents earlier this week
and will seek to gain revenge come
Monday night. However, it is proba
ble that the Farm Lifers have plans
of their own and that they will try
to make it four straight over the lo
cal cagers. Anyway, u close battle is
expected.
The U. S. Navy was the first in
the world to experiment with float
ing flying fields.
each team took advantage of every
opportunity, D. Manning tallying
three times for Farm Life in the
third period to knot the count at
15-all.
For a while it looked as though
this affair would run in over-time,
but while still holding its powerful
defense Bear Grass'whipped in two
baskets and from then on "the
freeze" was on.
D. Manning, center for Farm Life,
was top scorer with 9 points, while
Gurganus led the victors with six.

Plky in the opening round of the
annual County Basketball Tourna
ment here last Wednesday night
proved to a large and enthusiastic
crowd that the Jamesville girls are
back again this year with another
outstanding squad of performers, as
this sextet won easily over a com
pletely bewildered Williamston team
by the score of 35-6. In the second
game, there was little doubt as to
the outcome after the first period, as
the Bear Grass lassies put on the coal
and went to a 22-13 victory over
Farm Life In the final exhibition of
the first night's play, Williamston's
boys gained a 16 8 verdict over Rob

Despite the fact that all three coil
tests were one-sided, no outstanding j
stars shined during the night, with I
the scoring of every team being fair-1
ly well divided among its players. R |
Mi/.elle, hard-working Jamesville i
girl, was high scorer for the first
round with 13 points.

Jamesville Girls Win
Those favored lassies from down I
around Jamesville opened up the
1942 tourney with a bang as they |
staged an all-out exhibition of how I
to score almost at will" in defeating
Williamston 35 6. Starting fast and
getting stronger as time passed, the!
Jamesville sextet held a 14-0 advan
tage at the end of the first period,
building the margin to 24 4 at half
time. R. Mizelle and A. Mbdlin each
hit the basket for four field goals
during the first half, and Miss Mi
zelle went on in the next period to
gather in top scoring honors with
13 points.
After seeing Jamesville in action
it is the opinion of many that Coach
Ayers presents a more uniform or
ganization than last year, with the
guards also rating much praise.

terms during the first period. Bear

gin of 11) 4 at half-time. They scored j
nine more points in the third quar j
ter while Farm Life was able to hit 1
for only one field goal.
R. Terry, with nine points, led the I

scrappiness of Miss L Jones which

Double the Score!
In what may be classed a milk up- |
set Williamston's Green Wave came
out on top in a fierce defensive tilt
with Robersonville, marked by an
unlimited number of fouls Extreme
ly close guarding made it almost im- i
possible for either team to take any j
set shots, the score at the end of the '
first quarter being 4-2. Two beauti
ful long shots by Billy Peele, a field j
goal by llardison and a free shot
found the Wave in the lead by a 11-6
count at the half. The third period
found both teams employing defen '
sive tactics as Robersonville was un j
able to sink a point and Williamston
racked up a |bne field goal The fi |
nal period was the same old story
and the boys were really scrapping
when the final gun was sounded.
