Lions Will Play
Thomasville There
Local High School Team
Wfll Face Strong Team
On Friday Night • -
North Wllkesboro's Mountain
Lions will be In for a tough night
Friday when they play Thomasville
there at eight p> m.
Coach Howard Bowers has
been working the Lions hard in
preparation for Friday night's
conference tilt and North Wilkeeboro
hopes to add one more
game In the victory colnmn. But
Thomasville has been exceedingly
tough opposition in their every
game this season and this week
they defeated the strong Barium
Springs eleven in a game postponed
from Friday. Thomasville
has been beaten only by Spencer.
North Wilkesboro lost a heart
breaker by the breaks here Friday
night to Boone when a last
minute pass was intercepted and
run for a touchdown by Boone to
break a 6 to 6 tie. North Wil
kesboro had tie^ the game up
when Rousseau took a pass from
Hudson and raced 60 yards, but
efforts to break the tie backfired
in favor of Boone.
North Wilkesboro will play away
two more weeks, with Elkin
on October 24 and at Statesvllle
October 31, before meeting China
Grove here November 7 and Wilkesboro
here November 14.
Football Pickers
Have a Bad Week
Trying to pick winners of 25
top games of the week is no easy
task, as your sports editor and
Frank Walker know after last
week's try. In 27 games there
were tvjo ties, leaving exactly 25
jon which to figure percentage.
Walker led last week with. 17
right and eight wrong for a percentage
of $8, while Nichols
picked only 16 for a percentage
of 64. This week we are at it
again, but this time we include
exactly 50 games, beginning with
local high school contests and
including all top games on the
national schedule. >
Both Agree On
North Wilkesboro over Thomasville,
Wilkesboro over Boonville,
Carolina over William and
Mary, Duke over Maryland, Wake
Forest over George Washington,
State over Florida, Catawba over
Appalachian, Alabama over Tennessee,
Texas over Arkansas,

Children's Home
leads Conference
Barium Springs, Oct. 13.—If
thfe citizens in and around Chapel
Hill have not used all of the
aspirin and other headache remedies
there might be a ready pale
for the 'balance in apd around
Ooncord. A8 we predicted^ last
week, the* MooreBville-Conoord
game was a thriller, and that up
and coming Mooresville team
tumbled Concord 6-0. Concord
started^out as one of the strongest
teams in the conference and
suffered a one-point defeat at
the hand of Children's Home,
then romped on Statesville, and
now suffered this loss to Mooresville
which shove8 them rather
far down in the standings. Only
two other South Piedmont games
were played. The Children's
Home had a light scrimmage
with Asheboro, defeating them
32-0. Albemarle In their first
conference game of the season
barely squeezed through for a
victory over Monroe, which means
either that Monroe Is much
stronger than was predicted or
else Albemarle Is living too
much in the past. The BariumThomasville
game was rained out
and Thomasville won Monday 7
6. The only team in the
conference that does not need a
nerve tonic seems to be the Children's
Home. They have just one
hard game ahead of them—Albemarle—to
he played in Winston
on Friday night. If the Children's
Home takes that one they
can commence preparing their
banquet speeches because they
should not be bothered too much
by the rest of the schedule. Asheboro
goes to Kannapolis this
coming week-end and that should
be an interesting game as it will
enable one or the other to get
out of the cellar. Mooresville
goes to Statesville and from
where we sit it does not look as
though StatesviU*- will stand
much chance of getting out of
the cellar which she occupies
with Asheboro and Kannapolis
at this moment.
Monroe goes to Concord. Concord
should win this just like
Carolina should have • beaten
Wake Forest, but you never can
tell. Monroe must have some
thing: she defeated Nirth Wilkesboro
earlier in the season and
that is no light undertaking.
North Wilkesboro will be at
Thomasvllle, and unlesB Thomasville
has improved, North Wilkeabero
should take this. l«exington
comes to Barium for Barium's
Home-Coming Day. Barium
is a tough team to beat on
Home-Coming, but Lexington has
done it and she may do it again
this year. In . comparative scores
Lexington is much stronger.
Every team in the South Piedmont
will be in action against a
conference opponent except Spencer.
There were four non-conference
game8 played this week,
with Lexington defeating High
Point 7-0; Statesville losing to
Newton 6-0; and Kannapolis losing
to Salisbury 26-0; North
Wilkesboro losing to Boone 12-6.
