Smith's The Little Man With Big Stick
You’ve heard the expression “the little man with the
big stick/’ That’s the-way you woukl^ have to describe
Mike Smith’s batting in
the three-game series with
Greenville, Tenn., in the
Area IV Teener champion
ships at Belmont - Abbey
College last week.
The little second base-
man for KM's Teener
League all-star team bat
ted a cool .600 against
Tennessee with six hits in
10 times at bat. He also
drove in four runs, scored
five, had two stolen bases
and committed only one
error.
Unofficially, Mike batted
13 times against Tennes-
.see. He collected six hits,
walked three times, was
safe on an error once,
grounded out twice, and
struck out once.

DECORATING TIPS
By GENE TIMMS
SOME decorating TIPS
ON USING SCREENS
In this column each week
we bring you all kinds of
orating tips and this week we
thought we’d bring you some
ideas on the subject of
.screens. You may not be
ready to buy a screen but you
might enjoy reading about
them Did you ever think of
all the uses of screens? Here
are a few.
Screens of
many types
make excellent
room dividers.
A screen may
be the answer
concerning how
TIMMS to decorate
that blank wall.
A wallpaper screen in the
same or contrasting pattern
01 me wallpaper used in the
room may be used very effec
tively as a headboard. Other
types of screens may also be
used for the same purpose.
Use a screen depicting
pleasant outdoor scene in any
room that is devoid of a view.
Screens may be used to hide
ti air conditioner when not
in use, or may be used in
place of a kitchen door.
Oriental and other types of
decorative screens have been
used as a wall mural over
sofas.
With the more wide-spread
use of screens, there are nat
urally a wider variety of
screens made today than ever
before. Among the domestic
and imported types on the
market are everything from
the heavy teakwood inlaid
screens from Hong Kong to
the open latticed screens and
hand painted screens from
various places.
Re-examine your home and
you may find that the right
screen in the right place will
solve a problem for you.

summer practice. Cornwell quarterbacked l^st s nin
th grade team which finished the season with a 6-1 record.
Eddie Black, an outfielder on the Teener team, is be
ing counted on to give some added depth at a guard posi
tion. Rocky Goforth, Mike Smith and Clarence Ash are
the other Teeners signed up to play football.
The footballers will have a month which to P^'j
pare for their ’66 opener here against Thomasville. The,
Thomasville game will be followed up by home contests
against Chase and Cherryville and then the Mounties will
hit the road for four games before hosting R-S Cental in i
the home finale on October 28. That will also be the home
coming game. , . - ^ i
The Mountaineers will have a host of starters hac^,
however, the backfield will present a big problem. The
interior line should be strong bub summer practice alone
will tell whether or not it will be quick.
Of course, the line is going to be strong' with tackles
Carl Wiesener (260), Kenny Plonk (255), Eddie Bridges
(205) and Charles Green (220), along with guards Paul
Gaffney (178), Chucky Gladden (175) and Larry Patrick
(175) heading a long list of candidates.
It’s a fact Kings Mountain has a lot of room to im
prove its ’65 record of three wins and seven losses.
