Speaking
Of Golf
BY JOB MAPLES
We had an interesting and
tight race for medalist honors
in the recent qualifying round
for the Club Championship. Hal
Nave was the first real con
tender to complete his two
rowds and he posted a score
of 149 for the others to shoot
at. This was low for a few days
but at the same time, some of
the other players were posting
early round scores of 74 and 72
giving an iniication they would
be contenders for the medal
also. Finally Sam Travis posted
a second rotaxi of 71 to go with
an earlier 75 for a total of 146
and became the new leader. Gary
Meeks, Tom Adams and H. J,
Cottrell were all in good position
to overtake Sam but one by one
they fell by the wayside. Thai
lefthander Sam Adams took to
the links knowing he had to shoot
71 to tie and 70 to take over
first nlaee. Ravine stead v on If
for the most part and making
three birdies to offset two bogies
Sam fired a one under par 70
for a total at 145 to move in
front of Travis. The last man
given much chance of moving
into the top spot was Jack Groce
who had a first round of 75. Jack
made a good run at it, knowing
he had to shoot 70 or better be
played the front nine ooe under
par and through fifteen was still
one under. It was not to be how
ever, as Jack ran into trouble on
the 16th and 18th holes to finish
with 72 and a total of 147.
Qualifying in the Ladies
division was also close, at least
for awhile. Hazel Hampton was
leading Qlen Counts 89 to 91
until Gertrude Perry played her
round and fired a fine score of
84 to take top honors.

Comment
On Sports
BY PETE FRITCHIE
Washington, D.C,—The Am
erican League pennant race is
withoi* a doubt the best in dec
ades, and it also poses interest
ing baseball questions.
One is whether a club with
stgierb pitching, such as Chica
go’s White Sox, will prevail
over a club with really devasta
ting hitting, such as the Red
Sox.
Boston has shown the most
awesome extra-base power in
the jixiior circuit this season
and has won games in the late
innings surprisingly often, pri
marily because opposing pitch
ers couldn’t hold Boston bats.
Minnesota has suddenly be
come a contender with both
tight, consistent pitching and
power at the plate and might
represent the perfect balance in
the league. Boston practically
eliminated California, leaving
Detroit as the fourth contender.
The Tigers began the season
with what was touted to be a
fine pitching staff. But Denny
McLain lacked consistency and
Mickey Lolich was practically
useless until August.
The Tigers have good power—
if the staff improves, they could
still win. But Chicago and
Minnesota have been the lead
ers of late and chances are
good one of these two clubs will
prevail.

NOTE—This week I have asked Mrs. Nelle Laetsch,
our company’s School Representative, to write ‘Tele
phone Talk” and tell you about what she does in her
job with Southern Bell here in Boone.
Hi, I’m Nelle Laetsch, your Southern Bell School Repre
sentative for the Watauga County area. I would like to take
this opportunity to salute our schools and the fine educators
who work so tirelessly to give our children the type of
education we want them to have. It has been a real pleasure
to work with our school people.
MHS. LAKTSCH
wnai aoes a scnooi representative
do? Well, 1 work with our Teletrain
ing program which deals with com
munications and good telephone
usage. There are actually three pro
grams — one for elementary, junior
and senior high students.
The teletrainer is used in all three
programs. This consists of a control
unit and two activated telephones.
Students may talk through the tele
phone and the conversation is ampli
fied, enabling the rest of the class to
hear. Other aids are a film, four film
strips, posters, teachers’ guides and
student booklets.
L-asi scnooi year inrougn mis pro
gram, 798 students in the Watauga County area learned more
about the telephone and how to use it correctly.
This program is another of the many aids to education
which Southern Bell offers without charge to schools through
out North Carolina.
GIVE THEM THE RIGHT-OF-WAY — Now that a
new school year is getting underway, let’s all look
out for the many little children on the streets going
to and from school. They have been exposed to safety
precautions, but their little minds are on getting
home as fast as they can for a few minutes of extra
play
Remember that these little folks have the right
of-way. Let's ghre it to them.
We don’t have a single child’s life to spare!!

Watauga Pioneers Lose
In Tilt With Red Devils
First-game jitters along with
inexperience account (or the
major mistakes in Friday
night’s game led to the vic
tory of the Newton-Conover Red
Devils over the Watauga Pion
eers.
The Pioneer defense held
strong until the second quarter
when Newton’s Don Evett car
ried the ball sixteen yards for
a touchdown. The extra point was
good, leaving the halltime score
7-0.
Early in the third quarter
the Devils scored on a 35-yard
run after recovering a Watauga
fumble. Two other Touchdowns
were acquired for Newton later
in the same quarter. All three
third quarter scores were made
by John Moretz.
In the last minutes of the
fourth quarter the Pioneers
still refused to give up the
fight. Terry Taylor scored the
Pioneer’s first and only touch
down of the night on a pass
from Danny Hayes.
Watauga suffered 45 yards
in penalties, and Newton re
ceived 60. Newton gained 232
yard* over Watauga’s 137.
This week the Pioneers will
journey to Morganton to take
on the Wildcats. WHS Coach
Robert Poe states, "it will be
a very rough game Friday due
to the experience and materials
of the Morganton team. This
f
week’s practlve wiU be devoted
to the basic fundamentals of
blocking and tackling.
