CONWAY, N. C. SYKES BAR-B-Q WHOLESALE We Cater to Clubs Anywhere BURTON SYKES, Operator CONWAY, N. C. Sports Chow By ELLEN DOWNS 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. —o— 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. —0“ The Athletic Association spon sored Wallace the Magician last Saturday night in the college auditorium. Tickets were sold by m'mbers of the athletic depart ment. —0— Miss Keeter is offering new courses jn physical education this semester. Personal hygien Is a required course for the girls. Softball, tuimbling. tennis, bad minton, and folk dancing are fcfe- ing offered during activity per iods, There should be plenty of sports being played on the ath letic field before this spring. If the heating situation for the pool is inproved. we may have swim ming classes this spring. If a heating system Is not available befoie long, it has been hintid tha htot water is going to be piped into the pool. —0— 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. Wot Siy? Compliments of WALTER'S GRILL Murfreesboro, N. C.
