Littleton G
Victory As
ROANOKE RAPIDS ? Littleton's
Lady Jays had to fight
back time after time at Aurelian
Springs last night to
overcome a valiant but foul-ridden
Hornette six 82-56 before
a capacity crowd which remained
to see the Hornets repay
i the defeat with a 47-30 shel
lacking of the Littleton Jays.
Going into this Halifax-Warren
tilt were two unbeaten
girls' teams so far as loop play
I was concerned, and emerging
was the Lady Jays which is i
defending its title this year j
against a surprisingly strong!
threat from the Hornettes who
wait now until the last game
of the season to play the Lady j
? } Jays again.
? 4 Tied eight times and with i
the lead shifting more times
i.T than fans could hope to count
this game proved to be in the
way of thrills and fine basketball.
Littleton went into the game
worried by loss of starting for<
f word Boyd Thome and an outstanding
guard, Betsy Clark.
The Hornettes, minus Sybil
? Wollett, hurt themselves early
it with fouls and in the fourth
? period lost three starters by
the foul route,
r With Thome out Jane Acree
filled in capably tossing in 10
- crucial points from the outride
while Betty Jean West dis|
played her best shooting of
the season scoring 16 to assist
Margaret Hedgepeth who
i was without a doubt the difference
here last night.
f: - The tall forward moved well
d under the basket eluding the
| . defender for 12 field goals and
\ then hit on 12 of 16 from the
t faul line for 36 points.
! The Hornettes forced the
lava (n mmp nut from
the basket sensing Marjorie
|md breaking in time after
time for lap-up inside zone.
She hit for 25 and Jeannie
Williams put in 17 with Littleton's
guards doing an exceptional
job of stealing passes
I end rebounding, especially
I . Beth Rose, who was on a
1 steady move all night accountfor

Littleton took an early lead,

five points and were giving an
added boost by the Hornettes
loss of Jackie Smith, Sandra
Shearin, and Gloria Smith.
Coach Tommy Satterfield of
i Littleton was pale after this
one and stated, "We're happy '
to get this one, especially with
Thorne and Clark out." Coach
Sid Rogerson of Aurelian '
Springs seemed pleased with
his girls showing but bemoaned
the many fouls which crippled
his team in the dying moments
of the game and forced I
him to take out Reid early to
keep her from fouling out.
Satterfield, without a time out 1
remaining, had to sit and hope
through the final minutes without
giving his team instructions
but he was a happy man
after this one.
The Lady Jays hit 12 of 23
foul shots, all by Hedgepeth
and the Hornette 10 of 20.
In the boys game it was all
Aurelian Springs as they bounded
into a 10-5 first period lead
and a 24-13 domination at in
j termission.
Ricky Harlow played his
most outstanding game of the
year scoring 18 points with
seven field goals and four free
throws as the Hornets won
their first loop game and their
third victory of the year.
Randy Gibson, rebounding
and playing well, scored 13
points and Phil Quails had six.
Whit Neville dropped in 10
for the cold Blue Jays with
Jimmy Harvey and Joe Stainback
scoring six each in the
loss.
Coach Russell Gray cleared
his bench with 2Vi minutes remaining
to be played as the
Hornets freezed to this victory
which came on four periods
of steady play and some
fine defensive action by the
road to improvement in basketball
after winning only one
game last year.
Harlow broke the Jay's back
with 12 points in the first half
and Gibson picked up the slack
in the final period scoring 11.

Now is a good time to do
forestry work in Warren CounLy.
Farmers can put their time
to excellent advantage in the
woods during this season when
there is little field work to
be done. The time a farmer '
spends working in his woods
will pay him more than any
ather time he spends on the
farm.
One type of woodland work
:hat is badly needed in Warden
County is hardwood con- 1
;rol. This consists of disking
land growing unmerchantable ,
hardwoods with a heavy disk
pulled by a crawler type tractor,
poisoning or girdling unmerchantable
trees, or simply
cutting them for wood. There
are thousands of acres of land
in Warren County that needs
this work. Much of the land is
not growing enough merchantable
timber to pay the taxes.
This land can be put to work
growing good pine and poplar
with a reasonable investment.

Program assist farmers in
woodland work with cost shari

Farmers
agents and foresters working
in the county advise farmers
about their woodland with no
cost to the farmer. This type
of work offers an excellent
way for farmers to use their
labor in a season when there
is little other farm work to be
done.
