North Wllkesboro baseball club
owners In the Blue Ridge league
are planning to give a prize tp
the person submitting name most
suitable tor the team here *. . . ]
Millers Creek fli stars are to be!
congratulated for being one of
the outstanding aH star teams in
ithe state ^outside of the semi-,
pro ranks. Many large towns 1
■would be glad to have a team as
food . . . Henry "Flash" I<oman,l
North WDkesboro professional
baseball manager for 1948, out
his baseball teeth under man
agement of Billy South worth,
now Phillies manager in the Na
tional League. Billy was at Aslio
ville in 1936 ... All the fans
are <praiaing conditions at the
North Wllkesboro gymnasium
since the heating plant wasr in
stalled; and the same goes for
Mount Pleasant and Mountain
View . . . The Wllkesboro gym
nasium la an excellent structure
and worth all It cost and then
some. Few schools liave as good.
. . . Basketball fans are going to
flock to Millers Creek Wednes
day night to see the all stars and
Bller's Bluejackets fight it out
for the Wilkes Industrial Bascet
ball league lead . . . Fana are
raving about the ability of the
Mount Pleasant bign school boys'
basketball team. The^say they
have speed and everything . . .
Harold Dancy, from Wilkesboro,
Is the 128-pound member of Ap
palachian's wrestling team, which
win# practically every match . . .
When/the baseball park is com
pleted, why not construct a few
tennis courts in Memorial Park?
We can make of the park one of
the best athletic parks in the
state. ... North Wilkesboro and
Wilkeaboro were invited to par
ticipate in Class A football next
season, but seemingly have elect
ed to play in their own confer
ences. Anyway, it was splendid
recognition to receive from the
state high school athletic associ
ation for the splendid records
made by the teams . . The
Mountain Lions expect to im
prove next fall, barring injuries,
but graduation next year will
take many regulars.
A great handicap .to high
school basketball in. wllkes is
that so many players, especially,
girls, don't know tke rules. Why
not have a rule clinic for the
whole county and have some of
ficial lecture on rules of the
game? . . . Latest hot tip on high
school athletics is that Millers
Creek will have their first foot
ball team next fall and may be
angling now for a teacher who
can coach on the gridiron. . . .
The athletic field at - Millers
Creek, literally dug out ol a hill
side," is a splendid accomplish
ment. It is spacious, with about
400 feet on every side. We'd like
to see all high schools in the
ODunty do as well ... Wilkes
Legion Junior baseball team
should knocks off some of the
leaders this year. The losing ex
perience they got last y®ar will
be a valuable assetf You have to
start sometime, and last year
wasn't as late as now.
While the city has the respon
sibility of completing grading on
the athletic field in Memorial
Park we wish to call attention to
the fact that the portion used for
football needs I some attention.
The topography of the field Is
beautiful but the past football
season disclosed the fact that
it needs improvement in better
drainage. There are low places
which were pools of water in the
rain, and the Lions had to play
most of their games in tbe rain.)
The entire field needs plowing
or discing and re-seeding in grass
of the proper type. Now is the
time to do it.
