JACKETS MAY PLAY RALEIGH HIGHS '
Wilson High Is
Already Lined Up
The Yellow Jackets will probably
meet Raleigh High School here some
time in January. The Hugh Morson
High School has asked Manager Reid
of the local school for his open dates,
and there is no doubt but what the
game will go through.
Raleigh Highs under Coach Spur
lock will have one of the best coached
and fastest teams in the Class A
High School Conference. Two games
with Wilson in being arranged by
Mr. Reid. This will give the Jack
ets at least four games with Class
A teams. It will serve to give a line
on what Roanoke Rapids could do if
they were in Class A basketball,
which is supposed to be much faster
than the Northeastern Conference.
The game this Friday will open the
baskebtall season in the Northeastern
Conference for Roanoke Rapids and
Elizabeth City. Both teams go un
der the name of Yellow Jackets and
there should be a stinging good time
here that night.
Charleston Will Not
Make Carolinas Trip
Charleston High School who were
supposed to meet Roanoke Rapids
on their basketball trip thru North
Carolina and Virginia will not make
the trip. It is understood that not
enough games could be scheduled to
defray expenses. Only two High
Schools in North Carolina answered
A. J. McKelvin’s announqement in
the News and Observer for games
with the Charleston outfit. Roanoke
Rapids was one of those that an
swered.
H.S. Girls to Hertford
The Yellow Jacket Girls basketball
team will journey to Hertford Fri
day night for their second Nrtheast
ern Conference game. They are un
defeated in the Conference, defeating
Elizabeth City here before Christ
mas by the score of 22-23. Coach
Gurley states her charges are all
primed for the Hertford clash.
Cameron Ineligible
“Monk” Cameron, who plays at
guard for the Yellow Jackets girls
basketball team will be unable to play
under Northeastern Conference rules
for this season. It was thought at
first that Captain Stainback would
be ruled out but it was later learned
that there was a mistake in her age.
It seems that the rules required that
only girls under sixteen be allowed to
play Conference basketball.
The Boys’ Team
In order that you may know who
is on the Boys* Basketball team we
will run over their names so you may
know who’s who. There is Catain
Fleetwood Sullivan, Elmer Starkes,
Philip Newton, Walter Matthews,
“Snooks”, you know? Wilton Brown,
Butler Brown, Fred Mills, Wilton
Dickens, George Sullivan, “ Bone ”
Pridgen, Jimmy Shell, and overy one
of them are rearing to bring home
the bacon in the Nrtheastem Con
ference race. We will print the lead
ing scorers each week.
Red Devil Juniors
Will Play Weldon
The Red Devil Juniors will clash
with jhe Weldon High School Juniors
here next Monday night in the High
School gym. Admission will be ten
cents. Captain Dickens of the Red
Devils assure the fans that they will
get their money back in real enjoy
ment. All of the proceeds will go in
to the Rosemary Boy Scout treasury.
Coach Secular of Weldon will bring
over a classy junior team from Wel
don and it should be a great game.

Elizabeth City-Jax
Clash at 8 P. M.
Elizabeth City and Roanoke Ra
pids will start the fireworks Fri
day night at exactly 8 o’clock. The
local line-up is not known exactly but
Dickens and Mills will probably start
at guard, Brown or Newton at center
and Captain Sullivan and “Snooks”
Matthews at the forward position.
THIS * THAT
Was looking ove rthe Yellow
Jackets last Monday night in
'Hei- workout in the gym. They
nave good prospects but their
shooting and passing is terrible.
Of course, it is too early in the
season to start hanging any
crepe, but unless Coach Hoyle
bears down on the way they are
handling the leather, is is going
to be too bad. Sullivan and New
ton look to be about the best
floor men on th esquad. Coach
Hoyle is working Wilton Brown
at center but unless the big boy
improves a lot he wont be fit.
However, he is a fine guard and
works hard.

“Snooks” Matthews is not showing
the form that made him an outstand
ng forward last year. Wonder why?
SUPPORT BASKETBALL
Roanoke Rapids goes into their
first Conference game without play
ing any outside games at all. This
is going to prove a big handicap to
the Jackets for they are facing one
of the strongest teams in the Confer
ence when they face Elizabeth City
Friday night.
SUPPORT BASKETBALL
We believe that N. C. State will
capture the State championship this
year. The Wolfpac, or as they are
known in basketball, the Red Ter
rors, will go a long way under Doc
Sermon. He is using the same sys
tem that Tebell made famous at
State.
SUPPORT BASKETBALL
The opponents of the Yellow Jacket
football team next year will do well
to look out, for something will hap
pen next fall. Henry Hardison of
Rosemary has returned to school and
will be eligible for baseball this year
and football next fall. Hardison is
only nineteen years old and weighs
190 pounds and is not fat. He is just
a big boy. With Hardison and Cap
tain Brown at the tackles, Roanoke
Rapids foes will find it good and hard
to make any off-tackle slants..

game on Saturday, starting the
League game at 1:30 p, m. Then
have an All-Star team and let
them play an outside team at 3:30

If you like basketball, the kind that
Juniors play come to see the Roanoke
Rapids-Weldon Junior game on next
Monday night. Despite the fact that
the two High Schools are on the outs
the Juniors continue to play and have
a big time. And don't think that there
is not any rivalry, its red hot.

WARNS PUBLIC 1
nS. GRACE KIRKLAND,
M. D., well known woman
doctor, warns against contin
ued use of drastic purgatives.
“Ten years medical practice has
convinced me that persons suffering
from functional debility as indicated
by pasty complexion, faulty digestion,
poor assimilation, chronic or occas
ional constipation, billiousness and
toxic headaches, should shun the fre
quent use of calomel, salts, oils, or
other drastic habit forming purga
tive drugs.
“After observing the action of Sar
gon and Sargon Soft Mass Pills in a
great many cases I feel free to say I
have never seen a formula so uni
formly effective as the Sargon
teratment for the disorders mention
ed above. I have seen countless cases
of wonderful results from the use of
Sargon and I consider it a real privi
lege to recommend this remarkable
new treatment.”
