LOCAL STATE NATIONAL SPORTS) BILL ALLIGOOD Sports Editor Contributions Desired VFI1 OW JACKETS TAKE THE LAST TILT SPORT BRIEFS One big thing about the New Bern Roanoke Rapids clash was the fact the stretcher twins, Captain Starkes and nalfback Sullivan were not carried from the field. These two boys have been knocked out and carried from the field seven out of ten games. That should be some kind of record. Notre Dame showed her mettle last Saturday when they shoved over two touchdowns and two extra points to defeat Northwestern 14-0. It was Northwestern's first defeat. / THE NEW CHEVROLET SIX HAS MANY IMPROVEMENTS □ The introduction of the new Chevrolet Six marks the meet impressive forward step ha Chevrolet’s twenty-year record of constant progress and improvement.

ROSEMARY, NORTH CAROLINA Littleton Highs Trounce Patterson Patterson Mill played their first basketball game Monday night, and although they were defeated by Lit tleton High School 20-5, it was not such a bad game, at that. The Pat tenon Mill boys were playing their first game of basketball while the Lit tleton outfit has been in playing con dition ever since school started. Clark as a runnning guard was the visitor’s outstanding player. Clark is a form er local boy and his passing and shoot ing was very good while on the de fense he was very good. For the Pat terson Mill outfit, all five of the starting boys played good basketball considering they have never played the game before. The work of Henry Love at Forward stood out while Wil liams played a nice game at center. The Patterson Mill team will meet Littletoh here in a return game Mon day night at 7:30. Yellow Jacket Jabber The boys have a new name for Col on Womble who holds down the left end assignment for the Jackets. Since he got his beak broken in the Eliza beth City game and now they call him “Snout.” We have quite a few characters on the squad: “Soy Bean” Mills, “Snook” Matthews, “Country” Brown, “Scoopy” Dickens, but as one poet puts it, “What’s in a name?” “Soy Bean,” in other words, Fred Mills, who plays fullback got real mad down at Tarboro the other day and broke away for a sixty-five yard run for a touchdown. It was one of the longest sprints staged down here since Troy Goodman broke away through the Emporia High School line in 1927 for a 75 yard sprint for a touchdown. Fred must have had soy beans for lunch. Is school spirit dead? That would be a good question to ask the Roanoke Rapids student body. We have always prided oui'selves on the wontferful backing we have given <fciir pchool teams, winning or losing. If they graded the students attending football games 80 per cent would fall down this year. It’s too bad. Conway Crowns Pirates The independent ton outfit going | ty the blood thirsty name of Pirates lost to the Conway High School las sies here last Thursday night 36-1. The locals led the visitors at the half way mark but loose guarding in the last half proved their undoing. It was a case of letting one Conway for ward walk around all by herself and shoot goals from all angles, to creep , up on the Pirates and finally forge I ahead to win. Miss Gurley, who holds I down the center position and is Cap tain an dcoach of the independent out- j fit was very well guarded by one of; the Conway Misses and as a result did not score her usually large number of points. In all fairness to the locals it can be said that the Conway guards did no thold them so well, for if all the goals that were missed by Emma Speight and Helen Turner had gone thru the hoop instead of circling around and dropping out they would have defeated the visitors by a good margin. It was just an off night for the two former High School stars.,, “Runt” Turner probably had an edge on the other two forwards on account of her nifty floorwork. The out standing work on both teams was the guarding of the two Shearin girls and Erma Edmondson, it was effect ive and at times brilliant. Edmond son went out at the half and from then on it was all Conway.The Pirates will return the game at Conway on Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Aulan der will probably come here next week. _ • ;*♦ I 'And that brings np the question: we have been wondering, aftre see ing the Pirate-Conway game what is the matter with trying Mattie Lee Taylor at on* of th eguards or for ward ? We happened to see this young lady play in High School and if she is not good enough for a regular po sition, we will vouch for her as a darn good substitute. Oh! There we go again nuking remarks about some thing we have nothing to do with— S’cuae ns. Dennis Johnaon who oaad to roll up touchdowns for the local Highs is out of football for probably the rest of the season with an Injured back. Johnaon is regular fullback for John Anderson's Guilford College Quakers and has been playing a whale of a game this season. He is th* son of Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Johnaon of Rose " J* PASS PAVES WINWAY New Bern Puts Up Hard Battle —Mills and Brinson Star With the entire team playing good football, the Roanoke Rapids High School Yellow Jackets closed their Northeastern Conference schedule here last Friday defeating New Bern 7-6. It was one of the best games of the season with the Jackets emerging the victors by the margin of one lone point after touchdown. “Soy Bean" Mills, local fullback, tore up the New Bern line to help put the ball in scoring position, but the real credit for getting to the vis itors goal line goes to Jimmy Womble and James McNeil. It was a beauti ful fifteen yard pass Womble to Mc Neil that put the ball on New Bern's eight yard line. McNeil made a won derful catch, leaping high in the air to catch Womble’s perfect peg. Mills pulling the freight behind fast inter ference roared across for the touch down, and a minute later crashed across for the extra point. New Bern scored with a minute and a half to go in the first half when Brinson, visiting fullback, hurled a long pass to his halfback who laid out. The latter grabbed the oval and set out toward the Jacket goal line with Clyde Mills in hot pursuit. Mills would have never made it. Suddenly a streak in a yellow jersey passed Mills and rapidly overhauled the New Bern back. It was Jimmy Womble and he saved the day for he pulled down the visiting back on Roanoke Rapids ten yard line with a flying tackle. New Bern lined up and tried the same trick with another halfback lay ing out the same way. It worked and New Bern scored, but Brinson failed to make the extra point. From then on it was a nip and tuck battle with both teams pullling off spectacular plays time and time again. For the visitor^Brinson and Da^htry stood out wim theif offensive *fi&. defensive work. “Soy Bean" Mills, local full back, Jimmie Womble and Sullivan stood out in the Jacket backfield, while Cullom, McNeil, Shell and Brown were the outstanding line per formers. It closed the Jackets season and tied them for second place in the Conference with New Bern, both teams losing two games and winning six. ROSEMARY SCOUTS TIE WITH LITTLETON RESERVES The Rosemary Boy Scouts played the Littleton Reserves to a 10-10 tie here last Monday night in the night cap affair to the Patterson Mill-Lit tleton High School affair. Captain Dickens shooting the tyeing field goal a second before the final whistle blew. For Littleton Smith stood out. The Scouts presented two good for wards in Everette and Dickens but lax guarding cost them the game. Three of Littleton's Field goals were shot in the first half. Dickens was high scorer of the contest with two field goals and two foul tosses. BOBCATS TIE JUNIOR JAX The bobcats tied the Junior Jackets last Saturday at Rosemary 6-6 in a hard fought contest The tie game left both teams tied in their three game series, the Bobcats winning one 6-0, the Jackets winning one 7-0 and the tie game Saturday 6-6. Alls brooks and Edwards stood out for the Bobcats while for the Jackets Mat tox, Everette and Simms were out standing. The Jackets scored their touchdown on a trick outside play with Matox carrying the ball, *while the Bobcats scored on a long trick pass Baggot to Edwards. FOOTBALL STAGES EXIT Thanksgivind Day will mark the exit of most of the football teams of this season. The Notre-Dame Army, Notre-Dame S. Calif, and two or three other games is all that mmains at the present season.' Basketball will make its bow in a few weeks. There is one man on the Roanoke Rapids team that should be given quite a lot of credit, and that if Jim my Shell, the center. Thie boy, handi capped by lack of weight woulud have been the last man to have been picked as a starting center at the first Bf the year, but that did not atop Jimmy. Be has worked hard and fought hard, and he is all-conference material for next year. Our hat is off to Jimmy. Miss Minnie Johnson spent the wesk-ead with friends la Richmond
