ONCE OVER
Coach Barney's basketball Hur
Wricanes have two games under
their belts now and we've seen
them under fire. The girls were
forced to accept a tie with the
Cullowhee girls and lost heavily
to a more experienced and polish
ed Clyde high outfit. However,
Barney has two or three girls that
can hit the basket and when they
get to working together they should
win some ball games. At the pres
ent we'll say he may not dress out
a better playing ball club than
any other school in this section,
but he*ll give 'em all a run for
their money when looks come in.
For the boys, they edged the
Cullowhee boys and lost by one
last minute to the Clyde aggrega
tion in a game that the Sylva team
should have had. However, it's
in the past, and if we know
Barney, he's looking at the games
to come. He still has several of
the boys who won the District 4
Class A championship last year.
He has a tall team for a high
school the size of Sylva, and we
^hink they'll win some games.
Now, let's get down to business.
We're going to harp a little,
and while we take time out to
light our pipe?get ready?'cause

va's. City Basketball league. Our
text?the attendance.
During the past two Wednesday
nights, three basketball, games
have been played in the Sylva high
gym before a handful of people.
All the games have been good
ones, close ones. Jackson .County
is supposedly full of basketball
lovers. Here is your chance to
see three goad games each Wednes
day night for only 15 and 25 cents,
an unheard-t>f price. Further
more, all proceeds go to defraying
the expense of a lighting system
for the high school gym. Yet only
a -few people have turned out for
the first two weeks.
At the price charged, the lowest
brand of basketball' could be ex
pected. Instead, the ball playing
of the six entered teams has so
far been above par. Only two
teams remain undefeated and one
of those will go down on January
5th, which is the next night of
play because of the Yuletide sea
son. Ye ole sports editor's Ter
rell's Terrors are trying to figure
out a way to stop Iky Olson of
Velt's crack club without turning
any of the rest of his players
loose. If we figure that out be
i tween now and Jan. 5, we'll be
the undefeated team in the league.
If we can't ?oh, well, we played
a good ball game anyway.
Why not come down on January
5th and get your eye full of three
gotfd games between teams com
posed of local and college talent.
It won't hurt anything, and you'll
be helping a good cause at the
same time. Your support of the
city league is necessary in making
I it * a standing organization.
