Basketball has really progi jss-
ed at Chov.^ah. Whj^t with the
girls defeating th: Holy Trinity
six last Thursday night, they
should really begin to run up the
wins from here on in. Holy Trin
ity defeated the Chowan boys by
a four point margin in the list
of th? fourth quarter, but Cho-
v.’an should take Holy Trinity in
the return game on F'e'oruary 24,
This was the first game iq_ which
the girls had won their half of
the set and th; boys lost theirs.
The two teams have been coming
cut on the same end befcr?,
either losing or winning both
their games.
Joyce Joynsr. Barbara Ar;hsr.
and Bitty Krider have been play
ing outstanding ball for the girls
all season. "Little' Bet. as Btetty
Krider is called, has been giving
the opposing team a really tough
time. She's really in there when
it comes to stealing the ball .and
intercepting dribbles. Height
makes little differience to 'Little'
Bet; she’ll play that much hard
er if her forward is real tall.
Barbara has racked up 79 points
so far this season, making her
the high scorer for the girls. Bar
bara has been high scorer in
most of the games thus far this
season. She had a hard time
staying on her feet in th'e Camp
bell game, but Barbara can really
put that ball in the basket. Joy;e
Joyn;r is captain for the girl’s
team. She was truly on the ball
in the Holy Trinity game. Her
outstanding playing made her
high scorer with 17 points.

The Braves have been showing
progress in the last two or three
games. It looks as if they might
settle down and begin to play
good basketball. They have all
the makings'of a good team if
they will '.iia.ke the most of their
advantage?. Billy Clemmer. Fi'ed
Parker, Cedric Pi'erce, Billy Ed
wards. Gene Cooke, R. D. Belch
and Henry Boyd have been doing
seme outstanding player for the
Braves. Jay Wilcox and Donald
Vann have also seen quite a bit
of action lately. Billy Edwards
has been high scorer in the last
two games with 16 and 12 points
respectively. Billy Clemmer and
Cedric Pierce have been playing
outstanding ball all season.
Billy’s height and Cedric's ability
to get dowTi the court and ge^
that ball under the basket has
been two of. Chow.an's greatest
advantages over the opposing
teams.

Football practice has begun in
the big four colleges in the state.
Tiip head coaches ai'e having
quite a few headaches replacing
their great losses, both in the
team and in the backfield and
line coR'Ch'es. Snavely will have
a more balanced team this year,
but Art Weiner and Charlie Just-
ics will really be miss'ed in col-
'e?e football this year. Peahead
Walker is locking for a coach to
iake Bc'cby Kellogg’s place as
backfield coach, and it looks as
'f D;’ke may b,’ having a little
trouble keeping its coaches tco.
We’ll I'eave the big coachs to
thei;’ own worries for a while,
cause we've got enough worries
of our own.
