SPORT LUES
By J. W. STEWART
Basketball ofiicially opened its
dcors last Thursday afternoon
when Morehead and Harkers Is
land played on the outdoor court
at Harkers Island. Boy oh Boy
what a season this is going to bo
when the final whistle is blown
from what has happened since the
opening whitle.
Morehead boys and girls defeat
ed the respective teams of Hark
ers Island, the girls winning 55 to
5 and theb oys 14 to 7.
On Friday night of last ween
Newport opened its season by
plRying Beaufort at Beaufort. The
Newport girls easily won over their
li-.als by a score of 30 to 7. The
Newport boysa nd Beaufort boys
ni'me provedt o be 'he thriller
that your truly said it would be and
at the end of the regulation gamo
t'-tf score was found to be tie at
HI all. In the extra period Bimu
fcrt made three more points and
1'.: to 16.
On the same Friday evening
".r.yrna journeyed to Atlantic. A
foul throw at the end f the game
gave Smyrna boys a win by a
score of 17 to 1(5. The Smyrna girls
won over their tAlantic rivals 3fi
scorepoj rneyediuo vbgkq vbgkq
to 13.
On Monday afternoon Atlantic
ulaved Harkers Island on the Hark
ers Island court and won a double
header the girls by a score of 32
to 8 and the boys 2S to 4.
Monday night was the night of
nites. Strange omens were cas:
for the two events held at Smyrna
and Newport that night. As was to
be expected Smyrna girls won ov
er Beaufort girls 27 to 7 altho a
great number of the points scored
were foul shots. Then came the
boys game. From the outset Smyr
na took the lead and kept it grad
ually adding to the score with a
final score of 11 to 5 in favor of
the Smyrna boys. The fact that
Beaufort had three of its players
out doesn't alter things as in all
nrobability the score would have
Seen in Smyrna's favor as the
boys were out for a win altho the
margin might not have been what
it was.
Morehead journeyed to Newport
The boys were listed for a defeat
by Newport and receiv.-u it to the
tune of 52 to 15. However as a!
Smyrna a strange omen was pres
ent and Morehead girls who were
teat by a score of 25 to 20.

"Vv'hat do the seers hold for this
Df.pk. Some of the iranies may be
cancelled due to closing of the
school duet o flu but the schedule
calls for Smyrna to ploy Harkei
Island in the fternoon at Harkers
Iscland, Beaufort to play Morehead
sit Morehead and Newport to play
Atlantic at Atlantic, both of these

Atlantic at Beaufort on Wednes
day but this is probably a typo

local coach about this game.
would be far better for a school to
close down temporarily than for
a near-epidemic of colds and influ
enza to result in the loss of a teach
er that could be retained or gained
by acting wisely and promptly in
such a situation. Please confer
with me if and when such action
should be contemplated.
"In the meantime, much of the
suffering, expense, and loss occa
sioned by epidemics or near-epidemics
might be prevented by us
ing your assembly hours and Roto-
Speeds in instructing pupils and
parents as to the prevention and
control of these scourages."

Eastman Employees
Attend Kelvinator
Show In Durham
Fred Astaire To Be
Featured In Movie
At The Bft. Theatre
It is interesting to know that
the Nash-Kelvinator Corporation,
Detroit, Mich., makers of Kelvina
tor products made one of the larg
est financial gains in the history
of the company last year, netting
over one and one-half million dol
lars after paying all taxes and oth
er expenses.
George Eastman and Elmer Wil
lis of the Eastman Furniture Co.,
returned last week from the Kel
vinator show in Durham. East
man has already for display on his
floor most of the new Kelvinator
electric refrigerators and will have
soon the balance as well as their
complete line of electric ranges.
Some of the most interesting fea
tures in sell of the products that
was announced to them that on
every Kelvinator range or refrig
erator contract a free life Insur
ance policy will be given to the
signer of every contract up to $2,
000. In case of death of the wag
earner in the family during th.
life of the contract, the article
will be automatically paid in full.
Instead of definite terms as thev
have had in the past the customer
will tell them how they wish to pay.
The line this year is completely
redesigned with the usual 5-year
gurantee as in the past, as well as
complete fire and other liability insurance.
Fred Astaire and Paulette God

24 to 48 hours.
Superintendent Allen's letter to
