saw a . football game in. .New Bern

to witness the fracas between New
Bern and "Wilmington High Schools.
The crowd began flocking out to
the park half an heur or more be
fore the game 'and by three o'clock
hundreds were lined on both .sides of
the. field, eagerly awaiting the start
of the contest. . .. .-
The preliminary work of the two
teams was closely watched. Thevte
itors and the locals went through' a
few simple formations during prac
tice, after which they gathered at op
posite ends of the field to receive fin
al instructions from their coaches.
. Staccato cheering came from, the
supporters of both aides. Seldom has
greater enthusiasm been manifested
over any sporting -event. -Fans of, both
"Wilmington and New -Bern seemed
confident .that their teams would be
successful ;

to cheerine. they managed to hold
up their, end with . a vengeance.
New Bern Team Confident
, New Bern's eleven . went into to
day's game - with utmost confidence.
The team has been drilled to a high
stage of efficiency. One never can tell
what the- outcome of an athletic con
test may be, but there's one thing
sure; and that is if New Bern gets
defeated, it won't be the fault of the
coaching or the efforts of the play
ers. Wilmington's team' arrived here
last night. This1 morning the players,
accompanied by Coach Pearce, -went

CUBS LOST TO
HE
AT GOLDSBORO
Were Greatly Outweighed In
.. Yesterday's Game. One of ';
Players' Broke His Leg
Outweighed on an average of close
to 20 points per rnan, the New Bern
Cubs went over to Goldsboro yester
day afternoon to play the team of the
Odd Fellows - Home. The t Goldsboro
aggregation defeated the Cubs by the1
3eore of 35 to 0.
Everett, Nelson, one of the Cub
players, was the victim of. aft acci
dent, having his right led broken just
above the ajikle. He.- was brought
home on the late train last night and
Is - now resting comfortable.- This Is
the first 'serious' injury that has. taken
place to- any . Cub player since the
team was organized 'last year. ;
The locals put up a desperate fight
but j they were unable to make any
progress against such Jieavy odds. The
heavier. Goldsboro , players were
fable to -make repeated gains through
the lines and it was by means of these
rushes that they succeeded in piling
up thier 35 ; points. Whenever they
tried end runs or forward passed the
Cubs usually held them In check.
Notes
More than ; a dozen nationally
known - basebali , players, wanted the
Greensboro ' franchise, . states Prexy
Bramham.
, ' 1 t
Greensboro will still be retained as
a. -'member of the Piedmont League
and that means that Bramham reject
ed, any thouhgt of disposing of the
franchise to outside player who woul'd
no doubt be representative of some
major, club. It, would have been the
worst thing for the . league to have
some big legue magnate Control any
one , club, in the Piedmont. It. would
mean that big league timber would
be collected into one club in the lea
gue and the race would, naturally, be
converted into a walkaway for this
particular club. The other .five teams
would have to stage a race of their
I own for second place.
Another pleasing announcement
nas come from Durham.
p Graduate Manager Barnard, of
.Trinity College, announces that N. C
State will appear as an opponent ' of
rthe Methodists In 1923. Football en
rthusiasts throughout, the State will
welcome this, hit of sporting news.
tFans'have been waiting with interest
the time- when Trinity and State are
Uo meet ' on the gridiron. The date
and place of the game has not been
decided, but this part of the arrange
ment should encounter no hitch in
plans. The place will naturally alter
nate each year at Durham and Ral
eigh, The game, no matter where
played, should draw a big crowd.
