younger than they iTse to be ...all, that is, except
Robert Moody and Morris Wynne, who have worked
the concession sland for, these tournaments for
so -many years, they are beginning to show some
slight weai^... Moody especially, who claims the*
heat from the pop corn is causing his haitf to
fall put.
The officials working the tourney this week
are about as adept at cleaning up spilled sofU
drinks as any we've seen they seem to have
a knack for this sort of thing They also do a
pretty good Job of calling the ball games
even JhougJir some might debate this point.
Two windows fell out of the gym Monday night....,
they were tired and wanted the folks to go
This Is the _week of the qulck-sandwlch-for-_
supper' ritual throughout Franklin County.
It',? Tournament Time. Each year, seemingly
sane adults become a mass of hurrying, nall
blttlng ..bundles of nerves as they work ever so
hard to get the kids and themselves fed, clothed
and off to the arena the arena being, of course,
the Paul EUiri Gym in Loulsburg, where the annual
family fight for -basketball honors goes on" every
February.
The Loulsburg Police Department, doing Its
usual outstanding Job of handling Tournament
traffic, Is on hand each night to welcome the
county population to the county seat. Well
groomed Loulsburg Boosters greet the fans at
the, doors. ...seems these, boys ate getting
home.... they were replaced Tuesday. \
The kids continue to be the real -show.. LouiS
burg's new Safety Patrolfers are on the job every
night.. /..Young boys, with Impressive; attire1, show
ing their authority..... They are keeping the annual
stampede down Bunn's Betty Batton flashing an
indescribable expression when she inadvertently
threw the ball into the crowds... The publicaddress
operator, Bill Bartholomew, paged Steve *Upchurch
all Monday night and Howard Carden Tuesday
night Wopder If either have yet been found..
, Arid, of course, as can always be heard at every
Tournament, one hears, "Who is that kid?"...
"Oh, yea. I didn't realize old Joe hadaxihild
that old"*.. ..and too, "Wait until next .year. ..did
you know,, we .'only lose one player and "that kid
over there is just- a freshman" . and, "We ciiv^j
it to you. We had it won, if we just had a coach''
or, "Boy have you ?*v??r seen such referee
ing?" . . and on and on into the ni^ht... every nighi
this we??k.. .The Louisburg Rfescue Service on
hand each night, looking ever so nice in their
white uniforms. ready, as always, to render ser
vice'shoald they.tfe needed.
Of - course. *a few things are' missing there
aren't any beatle wigs in evidence this. year.... and
thus far, we haven't seen a sleeping bae in arms.,,
small baby that Is. tfyers have been a .feW full
grown_^that have been in arms. . The smokers
keep edging toward the Inside... they* re up to the
front, rope already... and some are Invading the
back of the gym Not as many toes are mashed
this time..... small boys are selling refreshments
throughout the gym... a real improvement which
was started last year.. .
The big noise comes Friday and Saturday nights,
of course*.. the weaker teams 'having been elimi
nated earlier in the wftek...the championship games
will be the nw*st interesting...and'the announce
ments of all-conference j all -tourney and pther
award winners comes Saturday night culminating
a week of unbearable suspense for some and
after Saturday night?.,.. a brief year long; rest
...and we'll all be back at it ' again... the .good
