In the free lance picking we won seven out of seven starts but claim no credit, •\vhatsoever. \ The following predictions are pre. son, which he designated “An Epic in H&mespun,” has taken its place with the foremost American biogra phies of the day. He has recently publidhed his fifth book, “By Reason of Strength,” which is a story of the Cape Fear, and very logically has as its heroine a daughter of/the early Scotch settlers of this section. Every section of the country has a field of romance and it only remains for some gifted son to discover it and reveal it to the reading l)ublic. It would be hard to imagine a more fruitful field for romance and drama than our own section of North Car olina in the days of the Scotch pion eers, and it id this field that Gerald Johnson has, discovered and develop, ed. From this same field, James Boyd draws his hero in his latest novel, “'Marching On,” when he de. picts a hardy son of a North Caro, lina farmer and carried him through a series of dramatic adventures in that stirring time, the years of- the civil war, It is striking that Gerald Johnson and John Charles' McNeill, two of North Carolina’s foi^ianost literaj-y figures of modern times, dhould ha\ e sprung from the same neighborhood. While their work is widely differ ent, they both achieved a purpose that spurred them on, that of find, ing ■ interest and stirring drama in the country that stretched about them, even though there is a ten. dency to -associate romance only w'ith far away places, and this coun try was as familiar’ to them as the laces of their shoes. Many Hoke Couny people vill remember when Johnson’s father was editor of the Laurinburg Exchange and mapy more meek, every available part and he stumbles convulsively for a step then goeb dowrn under a perfect ava lanche of kids. ' . As little as we think of it, these actlvltied' have a large bearing on the athletic future of a tow’u. In the present, system of high school athletics it Is almost necessary to have a system of play whereby the young boys are trained through va. rious Stages. Fayetteville High school’s famous championship team, played together as boy scouts and came on up to high school with the fundamentals /f team play ihstllled in them. Charlotte’s excellent teams in every sport are based on a series of Junior High ^ools whOTe the youngsters receive training un der competent coaches. , It Is said that ‘through a system of intermural athletics, three out of every 'five men at Notre Dame,play football every falL In nil cases where It is possible, the boyb should be en. oouraged to engage in outdoor spdrts, for this will lead to better teams for Raefprd later on, and the difference between having a good team and poor one, to the schTOl, to the town, and to the hdys them selves, is almost incalculable. * ink. ijaUi ixi ijtii & o- — ^ sented as niucli to give a compre-^'=j.gjji'g|nijej- John Charles McNeill per.
