the Elkin plant continued their
winning ways by defeating three
strong opponents in last week’s
play to run their string of vic

games this season.
The High Point team put up a
good fight and was one of the
best teams the Blanketeers have
met this season and during the
game the score was tied 12 times,
but in the last quarter the Chat
ham team put on a grea display
of passing and shooting to eke
out a 40 to 39 victory. The High
Point team had a good man in
Thomas, who led the scoring with
22 points, and Gruneau, former
N. C. State star who did good
work on defense. The entire
Blanketeer team was in top form.

The Blanketeers have made a
name for themselves. They are
good. A really great record proves
it, and their success has spread.
Not only does North Carolina
know about them, but the whole
south wants a chance to see them
in action. They have been in
vited to play in Atlanta, Ga., in
the tournament of the Southern
Basketball Association on Febru
ary 14th, 15th and 16th.
Not every team is invited—only
the best. In fact, only 14 teams
are invited from three states.
This shows the high regard in
which the Blanketeers are held
by basket ball experts.
The invitation has not yet been
accepted. When, and if it is ac
cepted, there is no doubt that the
Blanketeers will give a good ac
count of themselves and prove
their right to be classed as AN
OTHER FINE CHATHAM PRO
DUCT. LET’S GO!
