Comparing ball clubs of old with
the teams of today is an intriguing
but rather futile pastime. There’s
just no way of teliing how such
clubs would stack up against each
other.
Conceding, of course, that basket
ball has shown vast improvement
during the past 30 years, it’s possi
ble that the New Bern High school
quint of 1928 might have given this
season’s edition of the Bruins a
pretty fair serap.
This despite the fact that the ’28
team wasn’t exactly a champion
ship outfit. The team had lost key
players by the graduation route,
and several promising juniors and
sophomores flunked their studies

Smith. Harry Paterson was the
manager.
Coached by Vance Swift—a schob
arly, soft-spoken mentor who toler
ated no foolishness from his charg
es—the quint came pretty close to
reaching its potential. We particu:
larly recall the excellent shooting
of Katcham. With his knack for
goal making, he would have been
a dangerous man from the outside
in today’s type of basketball.
Out at J. T. Barber High school
they’re understandably proud of
Walter Bellamy, who graduated in
1957 after starring as an end in
football and a center in basketball.
Now a sophomore at Indiana Uni
versity, the e’lOVa” athlete has
been sensational on the court this
season, and is the talk of the na
tion. ffls rebounding work under
the basket puts him in a good spot
for eventual All-American honors.
One of our Mirror readers wants
to know who pitched the first no-
hit game in the Coastal Plain
League after the loop entered or
ganized ball. Tarboro’s Danny York
turned the trick on May 16, 1937,
blanking Snow Hill, 1-0.
His mound opponent, Joe Mot-
singer, gave up just three hits him
self, and Ihe run he had scored
against him was unearned. Earl
Carnahan singled in the fourth,
went to second on a wild pitch,
and scored on an error.
Getting back to the subject of
basketball at New Bern High school
in 1928, the girls team that year
won six, lost eight, and tied one.
The sextet had a capable coach;

Encouraging results in use of a
“problem-solving” apparatus as an
aid to treatment of mentally ill pa
tients were reported by the Battle
Creek, Mich., Veterans Administra
tion hospital.
By offering simplh problems in
mechanics, the device challenges
withdrawn patients to enter into
activities and communicate with
each other, VA said.
Research with the apparatus was
conducted by Dr. Stewart G. Ar-
mitage, chief of the hospital’s psy
chology service, and Dr. Gerald
F. King, assistant professor of psy
chology at Michigan State univer
sity.
Dr. Armitage and Dr. King work
ed with severely ill mental patients
who had failed to respond to stand
ard methods of treatment, includ
ing tranquilizing drugs. These vet
erans were extremely withdrawn
detached from their environment.

and uncommunicative. Some were
mute.
The device, placed in an eight
foot-wide panel across the alcove
of a large room, gives the appear
ance of being an extension of the
wall. Projecting from the panel are
handles, and beneath these are slots
opening into trays. Centered above
the handles is a screen for project
ing slides.
Patients at first are given simple
problems of moving the handles
in patterns to turn on colored
lights in the panel, project slides,
or pass objects through the slots.
The tasks gradually become more
complex, and patients help each
other in operating the apparatus.
Soon they are able to work in
pairs and cooperate with each oth
er to achieve results.
Dr. Armitage and Dr. King said
definite improvement was noted in
the mentally ill veterans. Two who
had not spoken for four years be
gan to talk. Soon after beginning
to work with the apparatus, one
of the long-term mute patients
greeted the therapist with, “Good
morning.” Others showed an in
terest in the apparatus and began
to ask questions about it.
