SPORTING NEWS : LOCAL - STATE - NATIONAL — Bill Alligood, Editor SPORTING NEWS BOXING, WRESTLING AND BASKETBALL FRIDAY JACKET BOXER VS. ELIZABETH CITY BOXER — GREENVILLE VS. JACKETS AND RED DEVILS VS. ELIZABETH CITY Jackets Will Play Greeville Friday P.M. In one of the biggest sporting events undertaken ht^e |»n a long time the Jackets will take on the fast traveling Greenville High School team here Friday. night beginning sharply at 7:30 p. m. at the High School Gym. The first game will bring together the Junior Red Devils, Northeastern Conference Junior Champions, vs. the Elizabeth City Juniors, while the Greenville-Jacket game will be gin about 8 p. m. In addition to all of this Hie local High School will send its best 135 pound boxer against. Bud Holloway, Eastern High School champion in th^ 135 pound division. The local entry will probably be Fred “Bean” Mills. And after this has been settled Clyde Mills, High School football sta’- will tackle Shelly Butler in a wrestling match. This promises to be the hottest sport program undertaken here in the past two years; regular prices will prevail and the fans will miss a real treat if they fail to see the box ing match and basketball games. Red Devils Romp On Littleton 38-11 The Red Devils romped on Little ten’s High School team here last Wednesday night, score 38-11. The same team had tied the Devils in the first game of the season 10-10. Fast passing and hot team work account ed for the Devils scoring. Everette, Dickens and McCommons were the scoring stars, while Edwards was the defensive star. Washington Defeats Yellow Jax 24-15 Washington’s Pam Pack defeated [the Roanoke Rapids Jackets in Washington last Friday 24-15. The Jackets minus the services of New ton and Brown both of them cen tors, played one of the best games of the year. The score at the half was 7-G in favor fo the Pamlico Pack, 13-11 at the third quarter and finally ended with the above men tioned score. Captain Sullivan was the most outstanding offensive on the floor with the exception of Cre dle, Washington’s star guard. But ler Brown, who had been rated as a sub the whole year got his chance Triday night and made good with a basketball, time and time again breaking up Washington’s passing attack and working the ball from un der his own basket. The Jackets looked better with “Country” Brown and Phillip Newton out than they would have with the two so-called stars in action. The Textile Leaeue Will Not Operate The Textile League called a meet ing last week and decided there will be no Textile League this season, in stead there will be an All-Star team picked from all three mills and they will play outside teams. Practically every one of the delegates present voted for an All-Star team. This will mean that the league that ope rated last year will no tfunction. An other meeting will be held the first | Monday in March to decide on other plans. A schedule will be made out with some of the outstanding ama teur teams in Virginia and North Carolina. Red Devils Defeat Washington 23-2 The Junior Red Devils defeated Washington last Friday night in the latters own back yard by the score of 23-2. The Junior Pam-Pack sank one field goal in the closing minutes of play. Captain Dickens scored nine points for the Devils while Ev erette was a close second with 8 points. Allsbrook and Carver stood out in a defensive way. Announcing THE OPENING SATURDAY, FEB. 21«t, OF THE NEW Ideal Sandwich Shop IDEAL ■ a The Ideal Sandwich Shop is the “IDEAL” place to drop in for a lunch — a good cup of coffee or a Toasted Sandwich. IDEALLY LOCATED- j “On the Avenue” and “In the cen ter of things.” AN IDEAL PLACE To meet your friends down town. You will find excellent food faultless service — and surround ings quite to your liking at the i IDEAL SANDWICH SHOP JOHN CARRAS, Proprietor “On The AVENUE” Rosemary, North Carolina HOW MANY DO YOU RECOGNIZE? SHELL’S FIRE (By Jimmie Shell) Well, old man dope turned out to be wrong last Friday when Hetrford nosed out Coach Gurley’s Hurricanes 19-15. It was a good game from the first quarter to the whistle. The gals showed good form and their plays were working out just as they should. Itwas only a matter of time in the last quarter as to who would be the winner, but the Hertford for wards got the breaks and there went th egame. The locals were defeated before by Hertford during this sea son. The gals left home determined tc bring back the bacon but it seems that the opposing gals wanted it more than we did. This game proved to be one of the fastest games that the skirts have been in this season. Edna Stainback showed the old form by making several grand stand shots. Stansbury and Hines also played a good game. Coach Wyches’ whirlwinds defeat ed the Gaston School Milkmaids 14 to 9. The Junior girls showed good form and came from behind to make the game a thrill. The maids from over the river had a good lead but when substitute Stansbury went in as a forward the tide changed Stans bury led the Juniors in scoring and she played a creditable game. Dot Johnson and Fisher also displayed good form. These Juniors play good ball and Miss Wyche deserves some credit for producing a winner. We were up to Duke for the week end and we find that Coburn Glover, former local high school boy, does more than play in the Blue Devil Orchestra. We find that he is a four letter man and that is a hard thing to become in a big college. Yes sir, he is a member of the Y. M. C. A. I picked the all time football team this week and if any one wants it (hanged, my office is on the third floor of The Herald Printing Co. Here it is: First team: Jimmy Edmondson, le, Possum Medlin, It, Glenn Gurley c, Robert Vick, rg, Harry Harrison rt, Gene Cannon re, Lester Edmondson qb, Troy Goodman rhb, Edward Vin cent hb, Dick Brown hb, sub. Second team: Colon Womble le, Garland Alligood t, Sug Moore lg, Ted Speight c, Irvin Cobb, rg, Wil liam Sutton rt, Phillip Newton re, James Womble qb, Hoot Gowen rhb, Bernard Edmondson hb, Hugh Cobb fb. ••*§: Third team: James MeNeil le, Country Brown It, Roland Johnson lg, Mack Lynch c, Sug Moore rt, Cocky Crumpler re, Francis Wyche qb, Norman Speight rhb, George Smith lhb, Fred Mills fb. Red Devils Swamp Gaston High 41*7 I The Junior Devils hung up their FOR SALE 200 Bushels shelled! CORN i; Weldon Grocery Co. • third straight win of the week when they defeated the Gaston School 41-7 last Saturday night in the High School gym. It was a fast and rough game despite the scoring, with “Lef ty” Everette leading the Devil sharp shooters with 23 points and Dickens accounting for 19. Edwards, Carver and Allsbrook played a whale of a gam at the guards. It marked the Devils up 102 points in three games to opponents 20. THIS & THAT We' think tha tan All-Star team will attract more attention and the games will be better attended than if the Textile League did operate. As one mill official put it,- If we have an All-Star outfit that will play ball like the one did last year, it will help advertise the town. Which is true. The fact that we will have an j All-Star team will not keep the hoys from playing ball that want to. If they cannot make the All-Star t am there will be plenty of space for them toform teams and play games. And coming around to High School coming up in the locdlulgcmfwypj baseball: With the new material coming up in the local school vvc should have cne of the best teams in the State. Lets get out the»-e and have some real competition this sea sen. If Captain Jimmy Wombie dis plays the form that he showed in High school circles and in American Legion Junior circles last season he will prove to be one of the outstand ing infielders in High School base ball anywhere. He can hit and field and he uses his head. When you find £• kid ball player that does that you will find one that is going up. And that reminds us: The Ameri can Legion Juniors should go higher this year than they did last. By winning the Eastern title and losing out in the State finals to Gastonia they went higher than any ohter Ju niors from the town. With practical ly every man eligible from last years squad and several new ones coming in we should have a cham pionship outfit. j Get a load of the picture we are running this week of an old time track team of Roanoke Rapids High. Track was a red hot sport at the local school up until a few years ago, but it seems to have died out. The team was coached at first by Simpson and later by Mr. C. W. Da vis. And we no doubt will see in about fifteen years Miss Patricia Wilson playing forward on the Black and Gold Hurricane girls team up at the High School. Daddy Carroll Wilson with a long white beard and a bald pate will be down to cheer his young daughter on to victory. Daddy Car ANNOUNCING— The opening of offices over B.

We have heard a lot of things but the one about the two High School basketball players who stayed out of school one Friday morning so they v.ouiud be rested up for the game that night is about the best we have ever heard. Honest we just laughed and hawed. But we must have our rest. Three Dairies Are Suspended Failing To Reach Standards Tim State Dairy Inspector, along with the local inspector, has just made a thorough inspection of all the Grade “A’’ dairies of Halifax county for the purpose re-grading. Some ol the dairies were found to be in excellent condition; some were fair and three (3) of them fell be low the grade “A” standard. The failing dailies were given a .suspended depradation, which pro \ ided that they should completely i e rect all faults before February 11 | or automatically become grade “D” | dairies. 1 am glad to say that these dai : ii s have met all the requirements, and can assure the public that they will produce a safe supply of milk. If there is anyone who wishes to sell grade ‘ A” milk and will let us know, we will be glad to give the re quirements and aid in handling the milk so that it will meet the re quired test. But until these require ments are met, and a permit is granted for a higher grade be sure that the milk is labeled with the grade now given or you will be sub ject to prosecution to the full ex tent of the law.
