Without football and baseball in inter-scholastic play, the schools devote much time to bas-1 ketball as a means of recreation for pupils, both boys and girls. Preliminary reports from a number of schools indicate a highly successful basketball sea son. It's no wonder so many people make The Goodwill Store head quarters.

From performance this season it appears that Children's Home will win the South Piedmont crown, barring an upset by Lex ington. However, Monroe is rat ed as a strong contender. In ad dition to a perfect record Chil dren's Home has bumped off other powerful teams, including Raleigh of the Double-A bracket".

Here is Thomy's comment on offensive leaders in the state: "Red Hoffman's Wilkesboro Ramblers continue to be the top offensive aggregation in the state. They have scored 246 points in seven games. Their top scorer, of course, is lanky Ray Triplett, candidate for the All-State team. "Members of the exclusive 200-point club group include Children'8 Home (229), Durham (223), Lenoir (210), N. C. S. D. (210, Roxboro (207), Henderson (204), Hickory (203)." The state's unbeaten and un tied teams are Children's Home, Monroe, Durham, Guilford, Le noir, Trinity, Wallace, Burgaw, Ahoskie, Windsor, Stedman and Haw River. Ray Triplett Is Candidate For All State Grid Team Ray Triplett, the fleet and elusive left halfback for the Wil kesboro Ramblers, is a promis ing candidate for all state hon ors in football this season. A1 Thorny in the Greensboro Daily News weekly carries notes of, outstanding achievements of high school players in the state who by their performances rank as candidates for all-state selec tion. Ray Triplett has made the all- j state list three weeks. Last week his two touchdowns, four extra point kicks, 69 and 10-yard touchdown runs, yards gained rushing and fine defensive play against Elkin gained him recog nition by Thorny as "one of the best backs in the state." Efforts are being made here to have Ray selected for partici pation in the annual Shrine Bowl game in Charlotte. The Shrine Bowl selection committee will be given Ray's outstanding four year record for their considera tion. Re-Alignment Of Baseball Leagues Topic Discussion It is "Hot Stove League" time for the national pastime and much is being said about re alignment of leagues. Always a hot topic of conversation at this time of the year, little is ever done about the matter and the season usually starts with the same teams as before. Baseball Commissioner Traut man has often advocated better grouping of towns into leagues, but little is ever done about it. In Virginia there is talk about reorganization, using three teams of the Blue Ridge, Radford, Wytheville and Galax, with three from the Appalachian to form a new circuit. It is no secret that North Wilkesboro and Elkin would welcome entrance into the North State league, which seems to be a closed proposition unless some North State teams pull out. Thomasville-High Point may or may not get into the Carolina. The comparatively new West ern Carolina league appears to be well set, although there is talk that Hickory might want to pull out of the North State and join the Western Carolina if any team in the Western would pull out. If that should happen and should Thomasville get into the Caro lina, there would be two places for North Wilkesboro and Elkin. It would be useless for either North Wilkesboro or Elkin to get into the North State without the other going along. The ideal league tor thla area would be Elkin, North Wilkes boro, Lenoir, Morganton, New ton, Hickory and Statesville; with either Mt. Airy or Marion to make the eighth member. Such things are easy to talk, but difficult to achieve. The nine towns named above represent three leagues as now constituted. Any re-alignment task which would b e mutually beneficial would affect the Appalachian, Blue Ridge, North State, Western Carolina and Carolina leagues. If Commissioner Trautman initiated and led the movement it could be achieved. Scouts Advanced By Review Board A number of Boy Scouts wen. advanced at the meeting of the Board of Review held last week. Dudley Myers, of troop 34, and Bobby Stoker, of troop 35, were advanced to second class. Blllie Bumgarner and Emmett Elledge, of troop 35, became first class scouts. Bobby Poteat, of troop 34, reached star rank. Bobby Poteat received the ath etics and firemanship merilt badges and nierETA ETAO EE letic and firemanship merit badges and merit badges for athletics and firemanship * went to Wade Foster, of troop 34. Plans are being made for a fall court of honor meeting in November. The greatest number of awards ever given in the dis trict will be slated for the court of honor meeting. o LOTS OF LAYETTES Layettes for 18,000 babies were provided by American Red Cross workers last year.
