Wednesday afternoon, December 10, 1952 + SPORTS SIDELINE + BY SONNY CARR ERWIN AND LAFAYETTE ARE ADDED TO GREENWAVE SCHEDULE Dunn will play all eight teams in the county it was an nounced recently after a meeting of the respective school Representatives. Previously Dunn did not have a game scheduled with LaFayette and Erwin but now both teams have been added to the schedule but only for one game. The schedule has been revised so that January 13th, previously an open date, we will play LaFayette there and ■ that on February 13th we will play Ei’win there. You no tice that in both cases Dunn has to play there instead of playing two games and having a return game with each team here. With these two changes Dunn still has four open dates. One other minor change that was made was with Coats. Instead of Dunn playing Coats there January 20th and Coats playing here February 24 the order of the con tests has been reversed. INDOOR SWIMMING POOL??? Have you seen Dunn’s Indoor Swimming Pool? You haven’t? Well, next time it rains just take a trip over to the Armory. Every time it rains the basketball court in the Armory is flooded due to a few small chasms in the roof, but rain or shine the Varsity Girls team, and Junior Var sity have to practice in the Armory and any member of these teams will tell you it is no fun to play basketball when you have to wade around the court. The Dunn Armory has depreciated beyond words of description in the past few years while supposedly under the care of our fair city. Now the Armory has been turned over to the National Guard and they say that nothing can be done about the leaking roof until the first of the year. The High School has leased the Armory from someone Rsince the Armory has changed hands we don’t know who and it seems that someone is responsible for the upkeep of it. Dunn has two home games in the Armory between now and the first of the year and unless something is done a bout the roof before these two games both teams are going to suffer. I never heard of a Basketball game being can celled on account of rain but considering the condition of the Armory it’s certainly a possibility. The old gymnasium wasn’t the best in the world, but at least it was dry!! Oh well, Dunn can always drop basketball and organize a row ings team.

(IF A field of 183 golfers, including 127 profes | sionals, was scheduled to play off in a qualifying round today for 65 starting bertlis in the SIO,OOO Miami Open Golf tournament, i The survivors of today's 18-hole competition at the palm-studded Miami Springs Course will join 85 "name” professions, who were ex empted from qualifying play, in I the first round of the tournament ] on Thursday. i The absence of defending cham ( pion Sam Snead, of White Sulphur I Springs, W. Va., who has won ! this tourney five times, and Na- I tional Open champion Julius Boros j was expected to make this a wide j open battle. Both stars passed up the event to make a motion picture in Hollywood. E. J. Dutch Harrison, the famed “Arkansas Traveler” of the links who won the Havana Open last week, was expected to be a slight favorite to regain the title he won here in 1944. Other former champions entered include Willie Klein, 1926; Tommy Armour, 1932 and 1935; Johnny Revolta, 1933; Steve Warga. 1943; Henry Picard, 1945; Jimmy Demaret, 1947; am ateur Frank Stranahan, 1948; and Freddie Haas, 1949. iSalas Thinks Collin’s Win Is Big Fluke BOSTON (IP! Tommy Collins is a "good fighter" but Lauro Salas would like to fight him again and show the cocky Boston featherweight that Monday night’s decision was a fluke. Collins won the unanimous nod of the two judges and Referee Eddie Curley. Ringsiders credited Collins with eight qonsecutive rounds after the former light - weight champion from Monterrey, Mex., floored him twice in the I opening three minutes. ‘‘He’s a good fighter,” Salas said afterward as his trainers ; worked on his puffed and bleeding j face. “But Jimmy Carter’s too sharp a puncher for him. He’d ; beat him.” | Carter lost the world's light weight title to Salas May 14 and won it back in a return bout five months later. | “I’d like to fight Collins here J again,” said Salas, who weighed 131 to 128 for Collins. "I still feel shaky from my cold.” i , The -tight was repeatedly post | poned on account of Salas’ cold. I Collins was game for a rematch too. "I didn’t get warmed up again after that first round until the fourth,” he said. “I’d be glad to fight him tomorrow.” fWD ia™/ See.itatt{OtiA.fcfuiDeaJm THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN.

M.A.. and now j teaching English at his alma ma ter. has about cinched a shot at Kid Gavilan’s welterweight crown. In order not to spoil his chances Davey backed out of his original match here with Dandy Del Flan nagan of St. Paul, because the!’’ styles were “incompatible” for a good fight. However. Pruden, who has won 56 of his 65 pro fights since com ing out of Canada to Paterson. N J. is noted as a puncher and hope to solve “Tire Little Professor’s’’ baffling southpaw style that has carried him unbeaten through 31 fights.

King Will (Continued From Page One) reports from him and from the State and that officials know what improvements are needed. Asked for comment this morning, Mayor Ralph E. Hanna declared: “We admit the plant is 30 years old and needs maintenance, but as far as any glaring fault, I do not know of any.” The mayor pointed out that many improvements have already been made upon Mr. King’s recommen dations. “I have enjoyed my work,” de clared Mr. King in his letter of resignation, “and will always cherish the relationship and cooperation that you gentlemen and the other people of the City of Dunn have shown me in the approximately four years that I have had the pleasure of serving you.” He said it was not an easy decision to make.
