All the other players did well but space wilJ not peimit mention of all their names. The coaches ”Casey" Morris and _ 3j0yd Little deserve special credit for their job of taking a team v/hich for the most part was green c?jid inexperienced and molding them into an efficient working machine. Though it is only November, the County Basketball Season has begun. Piedmont High School has prospects that look good for both boys and girls teams. They opened the season several nights ago by splitting a tv/in-bill. Piedmont girls lost to Shelby All-Stars, 20 - 26. This Shelby team is composed of veteran players including Betty Xrvin, The boys ;von 16 - lA. from Shelby A-F Club, an All-Star group which includes ’’Tod” Brooks, Piedmont also won a souble header from.Belwood, The second Duke-Carolina football game was played Saturday, and Duke won 27 —-6, Duke has really had a good team this year, one,of the Nation*s best, Dick Clonihger, one of the adopted sons of Duke, now should be quite proud, as he predicted this is the year that Duke would beat Carolina tvdce, Lawndale was wpH represented at the game Saturday, Four fellows v/eighing a total of 837 pounds \/ont from here to the game, l^ey were, namely, Fred Beam, Ned Williams, Vance Champion and Tom Fomey, [ *Pos.sum hunting is c^uite popular, at present here, Durham IVhisnant is the most enthusiastic of the hunters of the marsupial creature.
