CURTAINS FALLING . . . League play in the various bowling
loops around the town and county is rapidly drawing to a close. On
this sports page is a summary of the final standing of the Ecusta
league and also a list of the outstanding individual bowlers on the
various departmental teams. John Emory seems to head the array
of stars, with Randall Lankford, Frank Israel and a long list of other
high-rolling keglers sharing in the limelight. In the WNC race
Pisgah Motor court and Ecusta are having a lot of trouble catching
Enka and Champion and time is drawing nigh. Locally, the Masons
are one game out in front of the Gaither’s Grill team and the league
now enters the home stretch. Trantham’s is also close behind, with
Southern Dairies fourth. We reiterate our plea for you to witness
one of these matches on the local alleys on Friday nights. They’re
-hot!

STATE COLLEGE CAGERS are all elated this week over winning
the Southern conference tournament at Raleigh last Saturday night by
trouncing George Washington 55-39. And as to State accepting a na
tional tourney bid, the story goes that she will not. Conflicting exam
schedules are one factor.

determining his successor with a match between Ezzard Charles and

BASEBALL rules are being changed. Some of them will become
•^effective with the opening of the 1949 season, but they will be, for
> the most part, minor changes involving technicalities and ironing out
' differences in interpretation. The big overhaul comes later, for a
'three-man crew will rewrite the rule book completely to make it easier
'to understand. Four changes in the interpretation of the balk rule
were worked out last week and will become effective immediately.
