Solicited
Poor Fight Put Up
As Roxboro Loses
In Tourney Gome
Roxboro High School basketball j
team went to the Greensboro Daily
News County championship tourney I
at Guilford College last week and'
was defeated by Allen Jay High I
School, Guilford county, in the first !
tilt by an overwhelming score of j
44 to 21. The Roxboro boys showed I
tournament fans and officials alike j
how “npt to play basketball". The '
local done everything in the book—|
but in the opposite. In other words
it was one of the poorest tilts
played by the team this season.
Exactly what happened to the i
Ramblers has not been explained
and is doubtful whether anyone
could find the answer.
In the first minute of play the
locals set up a play and Bobbie
Blanks looped it into the net—but
from that point on Roxboro never
attempted to set up any more plays.
The game ended with a half-time
score of 21-15 in favor of Allen
Jay and fans expected the local
cagers to go' to work in the last
half—but nothing happened. Allen
Jay increased their lead and during
the last quarter. Roxboro failed
to talley a single point.
There was evidence of a little
grandstanding by one or two on the
local team and the fine cooperation
shown all through the season was
definitely lacking in the tilt.
Roxboro cagers were rated in the
tournament as one of the best to
enter and after the game got under-

I way some of the fans remarked,
"here is THE team—the best to hit
the floor.” Those remarks were
to be dampened in the remaining
j part of the tilt.
One reason advanced for the poor
| showing made by the local cagers
• as poor spirit and lack of coopera
! tion in this particular tilt.

j on top of all tilts and walked away
