ents, favorite, sank two free
throws to assure the improved
Vikings the victory.
In tne second game and fin
al first round games, Wallace

tournament games. Donna Bow
man, an All Conference selec
tion lead the Bulldogs with 7,
while All Conference Vickie
Parker and Elizabeth Brown
(HM) had 8 each for the lass

In the most exciting games,
except maybe the championship
game. Coach Tommy Edwards'
Wallace-Rose Hill Bulldogs
battled from behind to nip tne
Vikings 69-68 in a real clif
hanger.
In the battle Wallace-Rose
Hill trailed most of the game
but staying cool kept moving

8. * The Vikings backcourt pl
aymaker. Worth Wilson lead the
Vikings with 26 points. Wilson
had tne most fantastic hot st

mance for a little man.
On championship night, the
fighting Panther girls of East
Duplin were not to be denied,
they defeated the almost sure to
win South Lenoir girls 32-23
in a real championship way.
Much could be said as to tne
outstanding performance by the
entire East Duplin team as they
fought a cold Rebel club that (
had beaten them twice during
the regular season. Coach
Jerry Tnigpen, filling In for Co
ach Dick Powers, (brother ]
died), said it was the first
experience for him that every
member give one hundred per ;
cent, and that it was all for
Coach Powers. Our deepest
sympathy goes to one of the fin
est men In the coaching field
on the death of Coach Powers
brother during the tourney.
The big night "Championship
Style" before a packed house
crowd, once again the Bulldogs
of Wail ace-Rose Hill had fell
to the never-saydie South Le
noir Rebels 68-62 In one of
the most exciting games ever
staged at KM A.
Matched point for point for
the first three quarters, the
Rebels of Tom Salter battled
the Bulldogs to the dying mo
ments of tne final period The
score was 32-32 at half time and
SO-SO starting the final quarter.
As Coach Tom Edwards said,
"We ran out of gas in the late
minutes," but the Rebs kept
coming. Top scorer John Byrd
hitting eight of nine from the
charity line and a total of 24 ,
points lead the Rebels to the
perfect 23r.O record and the
ECC tournament championship.
With the outstanding perform
ance of Robert Surratt and re
bounding of M.L. Carr, the Bull
dogs never faltered and battled
to lose their third straight to
the Champions. Carrhad?3 and
Surratt 18.

r Rotate Tobacco To Control Disease
ers will be starting the 1969 s
season with one si: ike against
them if they make the mist ike
of planting tobacco in the same
field where tobacco grew last ,
year.
This is the observation of (
Vernon H. Reynolds, DuplinCo- (
unty Extension Chairman, Ke
nans ville.
"One of the most coatly mis
takes some growers malte is
planting tobacco behind tobacco
year after year," Mr. Reynolds
said. "Tests conducted by
North Carolina State Univer
sity , some of them here in our
own county, have shown clearly
that diseases build up andcause
increasing amounts of damage
when tobacco is grown in the
same field each year."
Mr . Reynolds cited results
from 1968 tests which indicated
flue-cured growers can expect
a well planned system of rot
ating tobacco with disease re
sistant crops to Increase the
performance of the tobacco by
$200 to$600 per acre.
"These are potential savings
our growers can't afford to
ignore", the agent said. He
called the job of planning a
rotation system to reduce loss
to black shank, brown spot and
mosaic as a simple one. All
crops grown in North Caro
lina are resistant to black
shank and brown spot except
obacco. Most crops are ro
ils tars to mosaic.
Granville wilt resistmce is
slightly mor e complicated.
However, corn, fescue, md
small grain have good resis
tance to this wilt disease.
Cotton, mllo, and sweet-pot st
Jts have fair resistance.
Peanuts are susceptible as
we weeds expect ally ragweed.

reduced by rotating tobacco with
small grain, fescue, peanuts,
milo, and on some farms corn.
Mr. Aeynolds added that even
farmers who have been follow
ing a rotation program may
want to consider some changes.
"It's a good Idea to roc?e the
rotation once In a while," he
said.
