Even those loyal supporters of
other Big Four schools, who would
rather have seen their own team
win the Dixie Classic than the Wolf
Pack of North Carolina State, must
admit in all honesty that Coach
Everett Case has been a dominant
influence upon scholastic basket
ball throughout the length and
breadth of Tarheelia.
The cage game for high schools
as well as colleges in our area real
ly came into its own when Case ar
rived from Indiana and took over
the Wolfpack. His success turned
the Southern Conference upside
down, and before long the kids
from Manteo to Murphy were imi'
tating Dick Dickey and Sammy
Ranzino, and doing rather well at
it.
Anyone who has beo^n closely .as
sociated with high school basket
ball in North Carolina over the
past quarter of a century can testi
fy to the transformation right in
our own vicinity. It was little short
of astounding.
Here in New Bern, and elsewhere
in Craveh, Carteret,-Pamlico, Jones
and neighboring counties, a new
era blossomed overnight. Every
ball club, including those repre
senting the smallest of rural
We need at once several 2 and

schools, had the mark of Case all
over it.
Ironically, comparatively few na
tives of the Old North State were
looked upon favorably by the State
College mentor as he went about
his winning ways. He leaned heav
ily toward boys from outside North
Carolina.
In at least one instapce, it is
commonly agreed that Case goofed.
That was when he passed up New
Bern’s own Sonny Russell, who la
ter starred for East Carolina and.
is recognized as an all-time great
in college circles.
Case wasn’t by himself, when he
missed the boat as a judge of Rus
sell's potential. Every other Big
Four coach turned thumbs down on
Sonny, too, and they all lived to
regret it.
In the Atlantic Coast Conference
as in the Southern, the State Col
lege coach has passed up most Tar
Heel lads on his wide-flung scout
ing expeditions. Nobody can argue
with success, however, and by and
large it is obvious that Case is a
canny judge of basketball ivory.
He, of course, no longer is in a
class by himself in the Big Four
and the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Carolina’s Frank McGuire and oth
ers have taken up the slack in re
cent years, and from this narrowing
of the gap cam® the sort of thrill
ing basketball that characterized
the latest Dixie Classic.
New Bern’s Hayes Clement, now
graduated from the Duke Blue
Devils, was one of the very few
athletes in our immediate vicinity
to see sustained action for a Big
Four outfit in recent seasons.
However, North Carolina basket
ball bti the high school level is
steadily'improving, and niore and
more Tar Heel youngsters are tfpf
to qualify for Atlantic Coast com
petition.
The great majbrity of our high
school players won’t go on to star
in the college game. Yet, even
those who don’t can thank Everett
Case for pioneering the excellence
of play in the Old North State that
made basketball a better game for
all performers and all fans.
BRUINS COUNT ON HIM—David Wilson, like another Dav
id of old, wouldn’t hesitate to tackle a Goliath to win wrest
ling honors for New Bern High. Seen here in action, he is
a rugged little competitor with a zest for rough going ih any
sport he undertakes.

Judge Stevens on
The Bench Advises
Mail to Take Care
It’s nice having Judge Henry L.
Stevens back in town, providing
of course you are not on trial dur
ing the current two-week criminal
term of Craven Superior Court.
Former national commander of
the American Legion, the Warsaw
jurist has a keen sense of humor,
and mixes his rulings and sen
tences with pertinent comments
and advice.
For example, one of the wit
nesses on the stand this week was
a man who has a reputation for
getting into fights, with or without
provocation. He had been slashed
across the neck with an exceeding
ly sharp knife, and was testifying
against his assailant.
Judge Stevens took a look at the
wound, and noticed a second knife
scar on the throat. Questioning re
vealed -that, the other wound^J^d
ijftep, picked 3 ti^,, k > a,, fight iwd
wieeks /before ^he' affray 1 itf ; qu^
tioh.
Looking the man straight in the
eye, Stevens said bmniously, “You’d
better look out, fellow, that third
man is going to kill you for sure.”
Then the jurist ruled self defense.
