But Pay For It.'* Neil Johnston, freshman basketball coach of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, made the principal address at the Thursday night Kiwanis Basketball Banquet. Johnston, speaking to the Kings Mountain High School basketball teams, stressed that the athlete of ■today has to “take what ho wants, but he also has to pay lor it”. To become a success he has to work for it, but after reaching the top he may enjoy its bene fits. He also said that there were three things that the athlete must do to become a success. He must “develop potential”, develope confi dence” and do his best. Johnston, a ten-year vet eran of the National Basket ball Association as a player and coach, made his college coaching debut this season with the Deacons. He stated Lincolnton rallied in the bot tom of the seventh inning scor ing six big runs as the Kings Mountain Mountaineers feii to the hands of the Wolves, 6-.5.

(6) and Brewer. , Pete Hicks, Dale Russell, Bill Whetstine and Keith Parker also ’ chipped in with timely hits for i the Patroils. Last Friday, Big Pete Hick.s, j NEIL JOHNSTON that one reason that the Deacons’ record was not too good was the fact that they had no seniors on the starting line up. The team was composed of all sophomores and one junior. Their captain was on the bench as a reserve and the Deacons had no one on the court as leader. He said that the Deacons probably have one of the best guards in the country in Charles Davis. Johnston, now 37, was a former pitcher in the Philadel phia Phillies’ farm system for two years following his grad uation from Ohio State. He joined the Philadelphia War- r^rs of the NBA in 1951. He spent eight years as a player before taking over as coach of Pittsburgh ji) 1959. He led the NBA in scoring three straight years and was the top rebounder in 1955. He was selected to the all-league team four times and was the most valuable player in both 1953-54. He played in a total of 316 games and .scored a total of 10,023 points for a 19.4 scoring average. Johnston was presented to the Kings Mountain basketball players by Charles Neisler. Before leaving the Kings Mountain players he stated, "The credit belongs to the man in the arena.” Hbissayi "Dan Porker Was My Inspiration.' “Don Parker was my in spiration,” these were the words of Coach Bob Hussey of the Kings Mountain Mountaineers, as he told of the Mountaineers’ very eventful .season. The sea son, one in which the Moun taineers coasted througli all regular season games undefeated and a bi-confer ence championship, was a groat success for the Moun taineer cagers.
