I-i THE ROANOKE RAPIDS -,| yhone R-326 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1948 PAGE 1 [Weldon Loses First Game As Jackets Win by 43-42 nuauunc uayius 1CHUW JdUR ets, who have been everything including sensational this hectic basketball season, were oiled to perfection Wednesday night, p’Teb. 18, in humbling a previous ly unbeaten Weldon five 43-42 here on the armory court. The packed house that wit nessed the much-publicized scrap marveled at the closeness of the game and left firmly con vinced they had seen one of the most thrilling contests in many years. James Bryant, the Jackets’ six foot five inch center and James Warren, a sandy-haired forward who has paced the club in scoring all season, collected 12 points each in leading the Jax to their seventh win of the year. Although Bryant fouled out in the waning minutes of the game, he had been a terror in snatch ing the rebounds off the board throughout the evening. Buck Kilpatrick, with 12 points, and A. B. Ussery, with nine, were scoring leaders for the Tornadoes. Ussery, along with guard Charlie Daniel, also left the scene of battle midway of the final quarter via the foul route. It was a nip and tuck affair all the way, with the lead chang ing hands 18 times and, at the end of the first half, the score was knotted at 23-23. The Tornadoes opened the second half in a manner rem iniscent of their nicknames, and by the end of the third period were resting on the long end of a 35-28 count. Then the Jackets began their victory flight. Sam Wood laid in a crip shot after 15 seconds had elapsed in the last period and Billy Clemmer followed it up with a good free toss. Bobby Oakes then matched the latter with a one-pointer of his own and at the 1:30 mark Bryant sank a crip and another gratis toss to narrow the lead to 34-36. Myrick sneaked in two quick crip shots to put the Jax out in front to stay. Clemmer tossed in a lay-up at 3:00 to increase the lead to 40-36. Two charity shots b y Edwards and a lay-up by Rabil knotted the count, 40-40 at the five minute mark, but Clemmer, fouled by Oakes, was accurate with another free toss and, on the scoring end of a fast break, dropped in another field goal to give the Bee Hive a 43-40 ad vantage. Kilpatrick then riffled the net with a one-hander for the Tornadoes final points. Birthday Party Honors Mrs. Emma Barnes Mrs. Emma Barnes was hon ored with a birthday party .last Tuesday night in the home of Mrs. Vergie Tritt. Mrs. Barnes was the recipient of many lovely gifts.

Regardless of the develop ment of new weapons, the Navy is still the first line the enemy must hurdle either in the air or on the spa in approaching our coasts across any ocean. The earliest warning of enemy air attack against our vital center would be given by naval air, surface and submarine radar pickets deployed in the vast ocean spaces which surround the continent. —Fleet Admiral Nimitz. * * Chewing tobacco product un m 1947 is estimated at 96 million pounds, about 11 million below 1946.
