PAGE TWO Rambling WTTH THE ambler <%> ■ j By “LITTLE BUFF” Bad Business, Generali As a friend, General, I want to warn .you about placing your ideas as to the standing of the Big Five Foot ball team of the State. Although Carolina holds the ma jority of supporters in this section, the N. C. State team is fast gaining ion -the Tar Heels and your placing the Wolfpack third doesn’t go with itheir supporters. Looking over the Football Annual, yearly magazine, I see that Southern teams are rated much better this year than in the past. According to the Annual, their ten leading teams of the entire United States, in order, are: Minnesota, Pitt, Alabama, Navy, Rice, Stanford, Tennessee, Tulane, Ohio State, and Louisiana State. Os these first ten, Alabama, Tennessee, Tulane and Louisiana State are mem bers of the Southern Conference, while Rice is a Southwestern team. Carolina and Duke will each play the Tennessee Volunteers this season, Carolina at Chapel Hill, while Duke will go to Knoxville. Members of the Big Five are rank ed: North Carolina, 20; Duke, 43; Davidson, 121; Wake Forest, 176; and State, 185; in this U. S. classification. So I see that the General is not the only writer who thinks ‘Coach Ander son’s sophomores will have to age more before they will be at their best. Georgia, reported to be headed for one of their biggest seasons is rank ed 19th, while Maryland and Wash ington and Lee are placed in 56th and 57th positions respectively. And so, although these selections' are based on last year’s accomplish-: ments, opposition and their new pros pects and some guessing, it looks like we football fans are getting nearer and nearer the top division. Save Your Money, Son A young man of twenty-odd years, asked his father for some money to take a trip to the beach. His obliging father pulled out a five dollar bill, and added, “Here you are, son, have a good time. But I don’t want to hear of you keeping up some woman!” I wonder how much change the old man wanted his son to bring back out of the five spot. How the Boys Are Doing The ex-Colonials and ex-Albemarle leaguers who left this section to wander into the minor league fields of organized baseball, have been cut ting a wide path in the last month or so. Paul Dunlap, our first sacker, has gone back to Binghampton of the NYP league, after his stay with the Norfolk Tars and is now- batting around the .360 mark in this Class A brand. In the Southern Association where the baseball is mighty fast to be merely Class A., we find that another of our first basemen, Mule Shirley, now with Nashville, hasn’t lost his batting eye, hitting a .330 clip, while Willie Duke, former State College star and E. City Cardinal, with Mem phis, is batting .370 and reports say he has the goods for a higher class. Johnny Peacock, Toronto utility man who is still plugging the gaps for the Canadians, and Jimmy Brown, of Rochester, are not getting along so well with their batting averages in the International. With the buying and trading sea son beginning, we wonder if any of these boys will step into bigger and better jobs. 300 Miles An Hour Congratulations! Salutations and what not to the Englishman, Sir Mal colm Campbell. 300 miles an hour on the ground seems like a terrific rate of speed for an automobile to travel. After his numerous close shaves with death, Sir Malcolm had better put h ; s racing machine in the barn and get out the old surry before his luck runs out on him and he finds like everyone else that death finally wins. Really, the Englishman is en titled to a rest, after his hard and faithful and daring attempts to show the world that 300 miles an hour is not impossible. Why, before many more centuries, if the airplane doesn’t put the auto out of business, scientists will find material to build roads with that will hold a 300-mile-an-hour car to the road and make driving as safe as at present. One consolation, they couldn’t make it much worse. Babe Not Doing So Bad The immortal Babe Ruth has not been doing so bad for himself since he left the Braves early this season. It seems the Babe’s second best bet is golf and he is drawing his part of the attention at the tournaments— his followers number many more than the old golf stars. One happening though, I don’t know whether to "call it a lousy deal or a joke, is the Babe’s deal with the Yankees. Every time the big boy, who helped make baseball what it is today, goes to a Yankee baseball game he has to buy a ticket- But you know the King swatter—he can take it. Talk is still linking Ruth with a managerial position in the major leagues—the latest connecting him with the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Braves and their new deal. Regardless of what the Babe de cides to do—he will still make good reading. Baer and Louis Max Baer and the Negro, Joe Louis, are putting in some outstand ing workouts and exhibitions, pre paring for their fistic battle the 24th of this month. With Baer training as he never trained before, the odds are favoring him more and more as the days pass. This fight will no doubt settle a great many things in the fight fans’ minds, namely, whether Max “gave” Braddock the championship, and whether the Detroit Negro can take it. | CROSS ROADS j Mr. and Mrs. C.

Bank Os Edenton Has Weathered The Storms The Bank of Edenton, serving a large area, has since 1894 been deep ly interested in the welfare of this section... The bank, under the gui dance of an able list of officers and directors, has withstood a number of hard and perilous times, but in each instance has weathered the storm and come out unscathed. The bank boasts of the fact that it is large enough to handle any business in the trading area and at the same time small enough to give individual at tention to all its patrons. Julien Wood has been president since the bank was organized, while D. M. Warren, the present cashier, became associated with the institu tion in 1907. This bank has enjoyed a steadily increasing business, with practically every statement showing an improve ment over the preceding one. This pleasant situation is due, to some extent, to the willingness of the em ployes to render whatever service and consideration possible that is consistent with good banking. Officials of the Bank of Edenton are anxious to be of further service to residents in Chowan and adjoining counties and therefore invite them to visit the bank for any banking busi ness they may desire. Aside from Mr. Wood and Mr. Warren, Henry Gardner is assistant cashier, John Dobson and George Hoskins, tellers and Miss Zene Elliott bookkeeper.
