THE NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE BOXERS see their first

FOB THE STATE’S BEST
GAJft of the week, the medal
goes to A A T and Union who
met in Greensboro Monday night
Februarj' 12. Here was a fine
exhibition of baaketball with
everyone in the gymnasium be-
appeared calm and collected anS
played what appeared to be a
cantios game. In fact, the Ag-
gias were a bit over-cautious in
the beginning and wouldn’t let
themselves go. Mayibe that a
why they were nosed out. (40-
43). Although hia acora waa
close. Union did not appear to
bo pressed at any time in the
game. The stars were still atars.
Coach Burghardt fia? about

The bovs’ basketball teams of
Hillside Park High School have
met great success during the
short time during which W. H.
Cole hat had chargc. Mr. Cola
came to Hilhide in the fall of
1&S8 taking complete charge of
basketball; during the 1939-39
season his charges won 26 out
of 30 games and made an im
pressive showing in tournament
competition.
For this season, the Hillaide
Hornets, guided by coach Cole,
have played nine games losing to
Rooky Mount and Siatfe9vftl«r
by not more than three points.
Already his team has received an
invitation to take part in the
Fifth Annual Dual Basketball
Tournament in Greensboro, Sat
urday, February 24.
The unpleasantness at the A
and T-Smith baaketball gam*
leavea a very unpleaaant taate
in the muuth. Not because the
final daciaion went agalnat the
alma-matar, but bccauae one of

K. Diamond hold his two fingers
up to signal two poinU for Smith

the rather heated aivument, in
which wc had our little aay,
being conveniently located near
the Koring taible, the two points
wer eraad onboth the score books
(and on my chart) and the
technical foul never was allow

consistent, and it is extremely
fortunate'that the two points
were not needed to win the
game.

all of the firsl half while the
Durham boys accounted for 3*^.
Dick Mack led the Scoring with
13 points.
This week the Eagles take to
