TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 16, 1952 + SPORTS SIDELINE + BY SONNY CARR ANDERSON CREEK GAME CHANGED TO THURSDAY NIGHT Dunn was originally scheduled to play Anderson «Creek two games here Friday night, but due to a conflict v in renting the Armory the game will be played Thursday night instead. It seems that the County Committee, who made the schedule for all teams in the County, was late in announcing the schedules and so the Armory was al ready rented for Friday night. But now the conflict has been worked out and everyone seems to be happy. Well, almost everyone! ! The Greenwaves go to Angier tonight to meet a team that has only been beaten by LaFayette, last year’s County Champs, so it should be a fine game. The improving girls their first contest but looked good Friday night even in losing. The boys also lost the first one to Boone Trail but came back in fine style with an exciting win Friday night. The Boys have spent their lone practice since their last game practicing lay-ups as they did before the Ben haven game. Even though they had drilled on lay-ups before the Benhaven game they still missed a lot of them in the game. In the fast break the lay-up is the chief means of scoring points, so you can see how important it is to be accurate on them. SOUTHERN CONFERENCE WILL BE TIGHTER THAN %EVER The competition in the Southern Conference will be keener than ever this season. N. C. State, of course, is the choice of everyone to take the crown as the Wolfpack has another powerhouse this season in the Southern Confer ence and especially in the big four. Carolina has shown it’s potential power in their opening contests and Duke has been averaging over ninty points per game but the biggest surprise of the opening teams has been Wake Forest. The Deacons are sitting on top of the Big Four right now with one win over Duke and a surprise upset of Eighty State. The Deacons dropped their first contest Saturday night to the Semi-pro McCrary Eagles even though Dickie Hemric, Wake Forest’s All-American can didate, scored forty points. Last year Hemric was just about all of the Deacon attack but this year the Deacs have a well-rounded team which includes another sophomore standout Jack Williams has been a great asset to the team so far in the season and he outscored Hemric in the upset over State. The Deacons are figuring to give plenty of trouble in the conference this year. a State, after having been beaten by Wake Forest, took their wrath out on poor little Rhode Island University and unmercifully beat them.forty points scoring over a hundred points and then last Saturday the Wolfpack de feated Eastern Kentucky in another intersectional con test. Everyone has accounted Wake Forest’s one point win over State a freak occurrence and it is possible that the Deacons caught State on an off night. Anyway it will be Interesting to see what happens when State meets Wake Forest in the colesium. It’s going to be a pretty hot race all around the con ference. The teams will be fighting for the eight top places in the standings which will enable them to participate in the Southern Conference Tournament. , See US For , THE BEST DEAL IN to cJ.S.G.

NORTH CAROLINA j lumA Chcdss Looks Pooriy Against Rocky BOSTON (IP) Ezzard Charles will have to look a lot better than he did Monday night to back up a promoter’s bid for a heavyweight title fight here in June. The ex-champ from Cincinnati scored a seventh-round knockout at Boston Garden over ponderous Frank Buford of Oakland, Calif., as 5,095 fans booed at the sluggish performance. “I’m better than I looked to night,” Charles said afterward. He weighed 187 pounds to Buford's 202. “Buford was hard to fight be cause he was trying for one wild punch. I took a couple of right hands on the head to open him up.” Matchmaker Sam Silverman of the Callahan Athletic Club here has offered the winner of the return bout between heavyweight king Rocky Marciano and defeated champion Jersey Joe Walcott $400,00 guarantee to fight Charles at Braves Field in June. The fans shouted at Charles Mon day night, “Wait’ll Marciano gets you.” Charles' co-manager, Tom Tan nas. said Charles has been prom ised a shot at the title after the Marciano-Walcott bout, probably in June. But no one has taken Silver man up on his offer except Tannas and that’s a good deal less than half the bargain. Charles dropped Buford four sec onds before the bell ending the sixth. In the seventh, the Califor nian collapsed at 2:13 under an aparently harmless right hook go the head. His seconds threw In the towel before Referee Joe Zapustas completed the count. The out-classed West Coast fight er hid his head in his gloves and held his elbows over the vulnerable torso, leaving Charles to search for exposed targets outside four terri tory. By the third round, Charles had blood running freely from a split lip and bruised nose on Bu ford’s maimed countenance. 253 points. Washington 3-1 held fourth place with 188 points, while Oklahoma A and M retained fifth with one first-place vote and 168 points.
