CONSTANT NEED
OF PRAYER #
Jesus, the best man who ever lived
was always aware of the constant
need of prayer. Before, during, and
after His busy days he prayed. His
mind was always focused on God’s
will for His life, and His poise was
always at its best. Great truths are
noticed here for us. Through our own
persona! prayer life we are assured
that He will guide us through life. We
need this spiritual power plant to
keep our line to Heaven clear. God
is a good Shepherd, and He will lead
us beside the still waters.

Teams competing; in base
ball this year within the
WAA, include Whlteville’s
Wolfpack, Bladenboro’s Bull
dogs, Shallotte’s Pirates,
Elizabethtown’s Yellow Jack
ets and one newcomer, Halls
boro’s Tigers. Chadbonm’s
Panthers will not field a base
ball team for the third year,
while Tabor City's Red Devils
are not competing; in diamond
play for the second consecu
tive year.
As usual, the schedules of all
■dubs will consist of home-and
iome settos against all common
loop foes.
The one newcomer in the
circuit, Hallsboro’s Tigers, is
an opponent which moves up
from the Class A ranks. This
should not be taken lightly,
since Coach Bud Hood’s Tigs
have sliced a wide swath in
the ranks of “A” foes in re
cent years. For the past four
consecutive seasons, the Bogue
school baseball nine has won
the Columbus County Con
ference Championship. Thus,
it should prove a worthy foe
for all WAA clubs.
The 1962 Waccamaw baseball
schedule will open on April 3
with Elizabethtown playing at
Shallotte and Bladenboro going
to Hallsboro. Whiteville’s Wolf
pack will draw a bye within the
loop on this date, but will open
its season at Bladenboro on April
5. Hallsboro is at ETown in the
other game on this date.
Coach Paul E. Powell’s
Whiteville Wolfpack is the
ever-winning champion of
WAA baseball. All four sea
sons that the loop has played
baseball, the Pack has won
top spot. ,

Azalea Tourney
Record Possible
By FRANK O’BRIEN
WILMINGTON—This may b<
the year for a new 72-hole recbrc
for the annual Azalea Open got
tournament, with four formei
champions and many of the ha
tion’s top golfers already enterec
in the four-day, $20,000 event
The tournament will be playec
on the tough Cape Fear Countr;
Club course from March 2!
through April 1. And for the firs
time in seven years, since stock}
Billy Maxwell set the tournament
record with an 18-under par 270
the field is liberally sprinklec
with top names capable of chal
lenging Cape Fear’s long tees
rolling fairways, and tantalizing
greens.
Back for another chance tc
repeat will be former Azalec
Open Champions Jerry Barber
Art Wall, Tom Neiporte, and the
record-holder himself, Billy Max
well.
They will be joined by such
tournament favoriates as Dave
Ragan, Gary Player, Bill Casper
Gene Littler, Bob Rosburg, Doug
j Ford, Dow Finsterwald, the He

J. B. (Bunny) Hines, presidenl
of the sponsoring Wilmingtor
Athletic Association, expects an
other 50 or more professionals or
hand for the tournament, in
cluding additinal players among
the elite of the touring troups.
Host Pro Hampton Auld says
the rugged Cape Fear Countrj
Club course will be in top shape
“But it will still be a tougl
course for four days,” he says
“and it will take consistently out
standing play to beat Maxwell’s
record. But I’ll admit this iriaj
be the year.”
Since Maxwell set the record ir
1955, only big Mike Souchak has
come close, with a 273 in 195(
when he won the title.
The Azalea Open will have
spaces for 10 amateurs, and 11
