lAces Win State Championship I By Defeating Hanes High 19-7 E (Continued From Page 1. Section 1) B>n the Aces’ 30. Bovendar, York Knd Lentz moved the ball to the ■5-yard line in six plays, from ■where Bovendar crossed the line. ■A kick by Lentz was good so ■hat the Dragons took the lead V to 6. ■ The Aces, however, came back ■trbng and at the end of the ■quarter, with Hopkins carrying ■he brunt of the battle, had the ■ball on the 2-yard line. | On the first play in the fourth ■quarter Hopkins rammed through ■for a touchdown, and Forehand ■swept around end for the extra ■point, so the Aces went ahead ■by a score of 13-7. I Near the end of the game the ■Aces scored a clincher touch ■down after Tolley intercepted a ■pass on the Aces’ 17. With Hop ■kins again doing most of the ■ball carrying on the drive, the nAees marched 83 yards for the (final touchdown. Hopkins car ried 13 times in the drive, with Tolley contributing an 18-yard jaunt and Dixon adding 7 yards. A pass for the extra point was broken up, so that the Aces had the game in the bag with about a minute to go with a 19-7 lead, Bubba Hopkins wound up his high school football career in a blaze of glory, He scored all three of the touchdowns, carried the ball 41 times and gained 167 yards during the game, Jerry Tolley was a marked player and the defense departments on both teams were so effective that neither team wa sable to break away for long thrilling runs. The Aces’ splendid defense was again reflected in the fact that Hanes, loaded with hard and elusive runners, was able to register only five first downs and were held to a gain of only P 0 yards. Jimmy White again prayed a spectacular .game in this department while Wayne Baker, Fred Britton, Richard Dixon, Jack Sawyer, George Nixon, Leroy Spivey, Erwin Griffin and Charles Cuthrell were thorns all night in the sides of the Hanes ball carriers. The line, too, considerably outweigh ed by the Dragons, provided holes for Edenton runners, so that all in all every member of the Aces performed with a great deal of credit against a team which was believed by many to come out the victor. The Edenton presented a very interesting program at half-time. Before the game a welcome to all spectators was extended by Mayor John Mitchener, who con gratulated both teams for reach ing the final playoff for the state honor and expressed the hope that the Aces would again come out of the fray the win ner. This remark brought no "<nall amount of boos from the 'large crowd of Winston-Salem fans. At the close of the game the Aces were presented the state championship trophy and Hanes High School was awarded the runner-up trophy in a ceremony held on the football field.

Frankly Speaking By Franc fLMrti j A few random thoughts for this particular Thursday. Silent j movies on tee-vee in the form of a program called “Silents Please” proved so popular it will become a yearly show in stead of a summer replace ment. In addition, the Taylor Theatre recently showed “When Comedy Was King” and “Golden Age of Comedy” showing some of the best of the silent screen era. The youngsters in the audi ence just loved it, and it left me to wondering what happened to Hollywood’s funnybone? Or the world’s for that matter? Nowadays it’s all sophistication, tangled plots and sly asides. Os course, there are no artists the calibre of Chaplin, Larigdon, Keaton, the Keystone Cops, Lau rel and Hardy and so on. Well, those films were before my time, but I love ’em. Hope they’ll re | issue some more of them. Now that the government de j cided that the way to save | money is by not permitting fami i lies to be overseas with their ! hhsbands, I wonder how many ■ Gl’s who voted Republican felt like kicking themselves after , wards? For almost a year Frank Sl j natra made only albums, no sin ' gle records. Then two 45’s in i a row, and they both wound up iin the top one-hundred. Proof of his singing abilities, especial jly when most of your top rec ords are aimed at an audience of sons and daughters of those who used to swoon at Sinatra. The New York Times, Readers Digest and one or two other magazines recently had wonder ful write-ups about Governor Hodges before he was officially chosen to be the new Secretary of Commerce. A deserving choice. Went to the library and was reading a magazine from Eng land, the Illustrated London News. It contains many inter esting features including quite a bit about America with stories and pictures that are usually better than those found in most of our magazines. “G. I.” Blues,” playing now at the Taylor Theatre, is the first of Elvis Presley’s pictures to re ceive very favorable notices from the hard New York newspaper critics. Off and on we’ll be playing excerpts from the sound track of that album this week. Also this week, Christmas stories in the library for the youngsters. We read to the 3 and 4 year olds yesterday and will be read ing to the 5 to 10 year age group today. Our town is producing its share of journalists. H.

Speaking of the movies, the Taylor recently played Disney’s movie version of “Kidnapped”. The name of the director of that pic? Robert Stevenson. No re lation to the author. A Norfolk columnist recently interviewed Dr. Roy K. Marshall, who was doing local TV spots. He’s the one who used to give scientific explanation on his commercials for a leading auto mobile. The columnist forgot to mention why he was off national TV. It was a morals charge. Wonder bread, white bread, is made in Rye, New York. (Edu cational, huh?) Here’s another one I dug up. The name of Charlotte, North Carolina’s police chief, is Jesse James. In England, where they fre quently do this sort of thing, I chaps, they changed the name! of “The Gene Krupa Story,” to “Drum Crazy”. Closing thought: Books are men of higher stature; the only men that speak aloud for fu ture times to hear.

Bar Association) Dogs Is the owner or keeper of a dog liable for the damage it does? Section 67-1 of the General Statutes of North Carolina pro vides: “If any dog, not being at the time on the premises of the owner or person having charge thereof, shall kill or injure an; livestock or fowls, the owner or person having such dog in charge shall be liable for dam ages sustained by the injury, killing, or maiming of any live stock, and costs of suit.” It should be carefully observ ed that the above statute refers only to “livestock or fowls.” It says nothing about bodily in juries to one’s own person or damages to property other than “livestock or fowls.” The par ticular statute, although enacted in 1911, has never come before the North Carolina Supreme Court for an interpretation. The civil liability of dog own ers is found in the common law or the decisions of the court. The most recent dog law ap pears in Pegg v. Gray handed down by the Supreme Court ol North Carolina in 1954. In an opinion written: by Justice Jeff D. Johnson, Jr., evidencing both a practical and legal knowledge of dogs, the court said: “It may be conceded as a well-es tablished principle of law that where a dog roams abroad on another’s land of its own ac cord and does damage or in flicts injury to persons, animals, or property there can be no re covery therefor in the absence | of special statutory enactment, j unless it be shown that (1) the dog was possessed of a propen sity to commit the depredation complained of and (2) the owner knew, or was chargeable with knowledge, of such propensity.” “This principal of law is grounded upon a recognition that by natural instinct and habit an j ordinary dog of most breeds is | inclined to roam around and stray at times from its immedi-i ate habitat without causing in- 1 jury or doing damage to persons or property. And in -deference to this natural instinct of dogs the processes of the early com- ! mon law eschewed the idea of requiring that they be kept shut i up, and instead promulgated the foregoing rule which allows a reputable dog a modicum of lib erty to follow his roaming in stincts without imposing liability j on its master. And so, since early times the law has been and still is that the owner of a repu table dog is not answerable in damages for its entry upon the lands of another upon its own volition under circumstances amounting to an unprovoked, trespass.” Is the owner or keeper of a | dog liable in trespass if he sends j or allows his dog to go on the land of another in pursuit of game? Yes. The Supreme Gourt of North Carolina expressly so rul ed in the Dreviously mentioned case of Pegg v. Gray. Plagued Day And i Nightwithßladder Discomfort?
