LOCAL STATE NATIONAL SPORTS, BILL ALLIGOOD Sports Editor Contributions Desired COACH HOYLE FINISHES GOOD SEASON YELLOWJAX LOSE TWO Seven Victories Gives Locals Second Place in Conference Race Football has departed from the land of the Yellow Jackets: No more do you hear the boom of a forty yard punt or the numbered chatter of the quarterback. The roar of the crowd, mostly townspeople, sounds faintly in your memory, not until next year will you see the Mills crash through the line for a first down or glimpse Womble tearing around end for a long gain. The season is over. And you have to give credit to Coach Hoyle for the fine team he has put out in his first season here in Roanoke Rapids. The team has been defeated twice this season, once by Washington and once by Elizabeth City. It was the first loss we have ever suffered to either team. Eliza beth City with a veteran outfit won the Conference championship with a clean slate thruout the year. The local team tied for second place with New Bern, their last game here end ing 7-6 in favor of the Jackets and gave them the tie for second place. The Jackets won from Ayden, Farmville, New Bern .Kinston, Green ville, Aulander ,Tarboro and dropped two to Washington and Elizabeth City. Colon Womble, Lynch and Cul lom will be lost from this years team. With the reserve strength we have and with the material coming up next year, we should have one of the best teams in the history of the school. Coach Hoyle has come across in great style. He has developed a team with spirit and he has developed a team that likes him as a coach and a man. He has made many friends here in Roanoke Rapids and Rosemary. He has very little to nay in regard to the record of his team. He is the type that lets the record speak when talk is necessary. The Jackets placed two men on the All-Conference team: Womble at Friday - Saturday “SILENT ENEMY” And S-O-U-N-D Novelties Peoples Theatre “Sound Satisfaction” Roa. Rapids, N. C.

Girls Open Confer ence Friday 8 P. M. Coach Gurley’s High School Yellow Jacketes will open their Northeast ern Conference schedule here Friday night when they meet the Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets. This game prom ises to be one of the fastest and best played of the season. For in the past several weeks the local girls have been working in pre paration for the Conference schedule, around thirty girls are out for the team. Coach Gujrley and Captain Stainback are all set for their first Conference game on Friday night and expect to keep the bacon right here at home. A victory over Elizabeth City will be highly appreciated be cause of the fact that the local foot ball team was walloped by the Eliza beth City boys. It Gets On My Nerves This argument with the Old Timer about the respective merits of differ ent football teams gets on my nerves. I expect each day to get a bomb thru the mail. If you know a man, its dif ferent, but this bird that goes by the monicker of Old Timer brings to my mind stories that I have read. Stories of prospectors, old desert rats who were tough and tougher. Maybe I have got in an argument with one of these tough babies. I expect any minute while I am walking along at night that some old gray bearded ; creature will spring out of the dark ness on the back of my neck—ouch! it gets on my nerves. We are going to keep official re cords of field goals, foul shots, made by all the local players and run it each week in The Herald. In this way you can keep up with the playing of the local basketball stars. SPORT BRIEFS Sports are few and far between since the football season ended. News will be scarce until the basketball sea son starts and then we can have some more fun. With such good prospects as Fleetwood Sullivan, Snooks Mat thews, Elmer Starkes and Fred Mills to pick on in basketball we will have plenty of fun. There is nothing like having plenty of comic material. The playing of the Duke-Carolina game for charity turned out to be like Fletcher Dickens’ basketball team for this year—imaginary. Looking at the North side of Kenan Stadium last Saturday from our rainy perch had its beautiful sights as well as its muddy ones. The stands were a riot of color, green, blue, yellw, and pink, with other shades blending and presenting a scene that was real ly a beautiful sight. It did not serve as an inspiration to Duke and Caro lina, for both of them failed to score, but we bet the merchants in Durham will retire on the profits made on slickers and rain coats made last Sat urday. Rosemary, N. C., Dec. 8, 1930. Dear Sports Editor: I have been thinking all along that you were crazy, now I know it. All thru the football season I have heard you rave about different boys on the High School football team, when you know and I do that Snooks Matthews and Fred Mills both are babys when it comes to playing anything and that Jimmy Womble is just a sissy. I stood all of that trash but when you came out with that All Time Team with Napoleon, etc. on it, I am thru. I am canceling my subscription to the Herald. JIMMIE STEEL. And that’s that! Aurelian Springs Takes Triple-Header Games Aurelian Springs staged somewhat of a clean up here on Tuesday night defeating the Roanoke Rapids Pirates, the Patterson Mill Silver Kings and the Rosemary Junior Jackets. The Pirates-Aurelian Springs affair was a girl’s game, while the last two were senior and junior boys’ games. The first clash between the Pirates and the Springs was a nip and tuck affair during the first half of the bat tle with Mattie Lee Taylor and Helen Turner leading a furious assault on the Aurelian Springs stronghold. Au relian Springs got going during the last half and started some remarkable passing to pull away from the Pirates. Qualls led the attack along with Austin. For the Pirates Helen Turn er and Mattie Lee Taylor turned in the best scoring record for the locals Turner crowding Taylor for the lead with ten points while Taylor had 11. The guards of both teams turned in some remarkable work during the game. The visiting girls’ team is coached by a local girl, Odell Smith, who graduated from the High School in 1926. The line-up: R. Rapids Pos. Au. Springs Turner Qualls Forward Speight Austin Forward Taylor Hamlet Center Shearin Shearin Guard Shearin Liles Guard Jackson Stallings Guard The second game of the evening was between the Rosemary Junior Jackets and the Aurelian Springs Re serves. The Aurelian Springs outfit was just a bit too large for the local youngsters and walked away with the long end on the score 13-5. It was a hard fought game despite the score, with Dickens, Edwards and McCom n>ons standing out for the Juniors. Manager Ogletree announces that he has arranged quite a neat schedule for the Juniors and that they are out for the Junior Championship of the State. Patterson Mills Silver Kings and the Aurelian Springs High School clashed in the last game of the ev ening and it was the best game of the three. Both teams mixed it hot and heavy throughout the whole game, first one in the lead then the other. It finally ended with the score 16-13 in Aurelian Springs* favor. Ferrell and Crowder pulled off several long shots from the middle of the floor to keep Patterson Mill in the running while Love's floor work was outstand ing for the losers. Yellowjax Basketball Squad Working Roanoke Rapids' entry in the Northeastern Athletic Conference, the Yfellow Jaqkets of the local High School are working out every night in preparation for the start of the Conference basketball schedule. I was down last night looking them over and as a whole they have a prom ising looking squad. Coach Hoyle is very optimistic in regard to the Conference championship. There will be a hard fight on for the forward positions with Captain Fleetwood Sullivan, “Snooks” Mat thews, “Scoopy” Dickens and Yates Brown fighting hard for the chance to start the first game. All of these boys look good. Dickens has improved a lot from last year. He is much faster and will give some boy a hard fight. Matthews, if he plays the game as he did last year will be bound to place somewhere. Sullivan, with three years experience should really play the game of his life. Yates Brown looks more like a basketball player this year than he ever has. Brown works hard and he is going to play basketball. For the center position, "Country” Brown, Philip Newton and Jimmie Shell look to be the most promising contenders, with Newton leading the parade. It will be a hard fight for this position and we don’t think the Yellow Jackets will be weak at center. The guards are unusually strong this season, with Fred Mills, a regu lar from last year back, and Elmer Starkes, along with George Sullivan and “Bone” Pridgeon. The full squad is not out yet, due to several reasons: among the main ones there is an operetta, and several of the boys are cast in the role of songbirds. Famous Drama Is Talmadge Vehicle Norma Talmadge will shortly be seen as one of the foremost heart adven turesses ever known when her new United Artists picture, “Du Barry, Woman of Passion” comes to the Peo ples Theatre Wednesday and Thurs day. This marks her second appear ance in talking pictures. Sam Tay- j lor, who has had such success di recting Mary Pickford, Harold Lloyd, John Barrymore and Douglas Fair banks in some of their most popular vehicles, made the picture and wrote the screen adaption and dialog. The rise to fame of the young milliner, who later as Madam Du Barry, ruled a king and the hearts of the aristocracy provided the material for one of David Belasco’s most suc cessful plays. “Du Barry,” make a bid for fame by marking the return to the screen of one of the silver sheet’s most gla morous figures—William Farnum. Forced into retirement five years ago because of injuries susta;ned while making a picture in Glacier National Park, Farnum has come back to play the part of the idolizing monarch op posite Miss Talmadge. This is Mr. Farnum’s first talking role on the screen. A brilliant cast appears in the pic ture with Miss Talmadge. Sharing honors with Mr. Farnum, in a prin cipal roles is Conrad Nagel, the sol dier lover for whose affections Du Barry defies the empire. Important An honest-to-goodness cigarette! Chestetfield stands out for "MILDER... BETTER TASTE” OWUmBimtaiTomcoCB. _ roles are played by Ulrich Haupt Ho bart Bosworth, Allison Skipworth, Edgar Norton, Cissy Fitzgerald, Ed win Maxwell, Tom Ricketts, Henry, Kolker, E. Alyn Warren, Oscar Apfel, Tom Santchi and Maude Truex. Miss Talmadge plays a creature of love and flame, an alluring beauty whose charms make her the soverign of millions. Put to the task of choos ing between love and luxury, between the man of her choice and a life of folly, artificiality and power, she chooses the primrose path only to re pent of her decision when the heart call of the man she has rejected ov erwhelms her with regrets. In the shadow of impending tragedy she fights her way back to idealism and happiness. HIGHLIGHTS FROM ‘HEADS UP’ Charles Rogers, America's boy friend,” who can captivate, sing and act. His fan mail and the recent “flapper ovation” given him in the East marks him as riding the crest of cinema fame. Helen Kane, radio nad record queen of a thousand dormitories, looking cuter, more sinuous and trim, singing “boopadoop” more tipsier than ever before, as an “imp” of a sister who mixes romance with cooking on a yacht and in its galley. Victor Moore, comedian from the original Aarons and Freedley pre sentation of “Heads Up” at the Alvin Theatre in New York, re-creating his hilarious role of “Skippy” Dugan, full of funny explanations for even fun nier inventions upon which he spends his uncooked hours. An automatic kitchen and a life preserver complete ly furnished for “happiest” of drown ir.gs, are sure laugh getters in his line. Margaret Breen, charming gradu ate of short comedies, blonde and ladylike; the quiet and nifty clinging vine type who fascinates by looking helpless, but commands through intu titve mental edge when occasion re quires, plays “sister” to Miss Kane, and has the same irrestible round eyes. The glamor of the uniform and how it fits Rogers The gala air of graduation week at a United States Coast Guard Academy, including a big ceremonial ball. Action and thrills at sea on luxurious craft and revenue cutters. And a rollicking climax in which a ship-wrecked party is rescued only after Miss Kane surrenders white bloomers to signal a passing ship. NOTICE Halifax County, In The Superior Court. Wells D.
