As the result of Sunday’s game, CASU maintains an undefeated re cord in the Service League, it being the sixth consecutive victory to no defeats. The team leads the league. The game with Harvey Point was a nip and tuck affair, with the win ner in doubt until the final out in the ninth inning. The visitors scored first in the third inning and remain ed in the lead until the fifth inning, when CASU knotted the count at I one round each. In the sixth CASU, aided by two costly errors, scored two more runs, which ended the scoring for both sides. Asmer, on the mound for CASU, was touched for 11 safe bingles, but in the pinches he tightened up and on several occasions fanned batters wheri.a hit would have meant runs. Asmpr retired nine opposing batters by Wsy of the strike-out route. Switz, Harvey Point hurler, was very Stingy with hits, the CASU batter* securing only six safe blows. He stfuck out only one batter, but kept .fits well scattered, and but for costly'errors,' -A-ould have had the upper hand of the game. Lembo, behind the plate for CASU, played his usual bang-up game, while Schmierer, on the receiving end for Harvey Point, also played a splendid game. The game was full of thrilling T>lays of about every' kind expected in a ball game. * Saturday afternoon’s game -devel- j oped into a pitcher’s duel between' Brown, on the mound for CASU, and j Ted Miller, veteran Bertie County, hurler. Brown gave only four scat- j tered hits, while Miller allowed five. Windsor took the lead in the third inning, when two runs were scored. In their half of the same inning, CASU managed to send one runner across home plate. The score stood 2-1 in favor of Windsor until the seventh, when two errors by Wind sor contributed two more runs, scor-1 ed by CASU, the winning run com-[ ing in on a perfect hit-and-run play.; Brown was ably supported back of j the plate by Lembo, while G. Hog gard was on the receiving end for Windsor. This week’s schedule for CASU calls for all games played away from home until Sunday afternoon, when another league game will be played on Hicks Field, starting at 2:30 o’clock.

This phase of the meeting required quite a little time because it involved the matter of setting salaries. After considering the matter at length, it was decided to let all salaries remain as they were last year. With that problem out of the way, very little time was consumed in reappointing all employees and various officials of the Council. J. Clarence Leary was named May or pro tern. R. E. Leary was reap pointed as Town Clerk and Louise Coke was appointed as tax collector. Other appointments were: W. D. Fruden, town attorney; R. K. j Hall, fire chief and building inspec tor; W. M. Wilkins and J. F. Partin, finance committee; J. R. Tanner, chief of police; J. Edwin Bufflap, street commissioner; W. J. Yates, as sistant fire chief; Graham Byrum and W. J. Yates, parks and playgrounds committee. John A. Holmes, representing the Edenton School Board, appeared be fore the Council requesting a salary supplement to employ a physical re j creation director on a 12-months ba- I sis. Mr. Holmes explained that what money is appropriated f«*r an organi zed and supervised recreational pro -1 gram would result in dividends in later years. He said such a program would most assuredly have an up lifting effect among the youth of the town, especially those in the teen age. At present a recreational program is carried on in the school for nine months and after that there are pre cious few places for the youngsters of that age to spend their time Under the proposition advanced by i Mr. Holmes, a physical training di ! rector would be employed on a 12 months basis, so that a program would be in operation when school closes. Roughly, Town Council will be ob liged to appropriate S6OO to in augurate the program. The idea was favorably received by the councilmen and the matter was referred to the Finance Committee to be considered in making up the budget. It was while dicussing the school supplement that no little criticism was directed at the operation of the Edenton school. Included in the criticism was a charge that there is very little discipline in the school, that in some cases students are pas sed to higher grades without taking examinations when their work does not warrant advancement. It was further charged that graduates leav ing the Edenton school are far be low par when entering college, and for that reason some students are not given the opportunity to grad uate in Edenton but instead are sent to preparatory schools, when the same training should be given lo cally. Another criticism was directed at the teachers for apparent lack of in terest in the Parent-Teacher associa tion. It was stated that possibly (Continued on Page Five) Plans Completed For 4-H Club Encampment At Jamestown, Va.
