■ by LOU KOCH
George W. Woods, representative of the R. S. L..Shuttlecock Co.,
Ltd., the worlds largest shuttlecock specialists with bureaus in Lon
don, New York and Altoona, Pa., is a Sandhills visitor, enroute to
Florida and Texas. Woods’ business theme phrase is “Yours in
Badminton.” He has been promoting the game and the sale*of
equipment for many years.
Woods expressed the firm belief that, with proper stimulation
and organization, the Sandhills would be “a natural” for the indoor
sport, especially as a rainy day pastime which could be established
to fit into the sports picture here. He has been associated with the
promotion of the game at Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Colum
bus, Detroit, the Pocono Mountain district and many other spots
... as an exhibition player, he drew a crowd which was estimated at
80,000 at the Allegheny County Fair held in Pittsburgh, last August
2$ and 29. After a business tour of Florida he will go to Texas to
end his trip at the national badminton tournament in Seattle, "Wash
ington, March 28, 29 and 3Q.
He referred us to the meeting of directors of the Southern!
Badminton association which will take place in Charlotte tomorrow
when plans will be made for the further expansion of its activities.!
Representatives of the various southern clubs also have been invited
to meet with the'group. One purpose of the meeting is to discuss
the' possibility of bringing a future national badminton tournament
to North Carolina. Last year the tournament was held in New
York. President Adon Smith said that he thought the Duke gym

FORUM LECTURE ON
MONDAY IS OPEN TO

Dr. Walter H. Judd, who will
speak at the Forum this Monday,

the Rev. F. Craighill Brown of

Amon,|: those best qualified to
interpret the menacing situation
in, the Far East, and America’s
relation , to it, are the American
educators, business men and doc
tors who saw the approach of
the war, stayed at their posts
while the tide of conflict rolled
past, witnessed at first hand its
devastating effects, and in the
wake of this stirring experience
have thought deeply with regard
to its significance. Dr. Judd has
worked as an American'surgeon
in China for more than ten years.
He was for moifths in Japanese
invaded territory where he came
into close contact with men and
events.
This Forum on Monday even
