OWL BOXING TEAM
BEGINS PRACTICE
1939-40 SEASON
The Roanoke Rapids Owls’ box
ing team began practicing for tbe
1939-1940 season last week in the
Arena on Second Street. Fifteen
men have been taking daily work
outs, preparing for the first bout
around the first of November.
Frank Kemp, personnel director for
the Roanoke and Patterson Mills
and manager of the boxing team,
announced today that new robes
had been purchased for the boxers.
The robes are made up of a dark
background with a gold circle ill
the back containing the lettering,
“Roanoke Rapids Owls”, around a
large and wise-looking owl.
Practices are held every day at
4:00 p.m. for the day shift and at
11:00 a.m. for the night shift. The
boxers are working under the su
pervision of three veteran boxers,
Ed Moseley, Dick Collins, and Phil
ip Hux, with Frank Kemp acting
as manager. Assisting Mr. Kemp is
Earl Wood, a veteran of the ring
from Roanoke No. 1. Moseley and
Hux are both old heads in the ring
and have the experience needed to
show the younger boys how it is
done. Dick Collins, the other coach,
will be remembered from last year,
having won out in the State Golden
Glove Tournament and going to
Atlanta to participate in the re
gional tournament there.

After the season gets under way
in November, the Owls will put on
a weekly show for the Roanoke
Rapids fans throughout the winter
until the latter part of March. The
bouts will be held at the Arena ev
ery Saturday night. Mr. Kemp said
today that he expected the team to
be one of the best that the Owls
has ever had here. This year will
be the fourth that the mills have
sponsored boxingi in Roanoke Rap
ids. Judging from attendance last
year, Mr. Kemp said that he
thought the sport was being favor
ably received among the many fol
lowers in the city.
