The Southern Pines High Blue
Knights picked up their first con
ference win and second victory
for the season by completely out
classing the visitors from West
End 52-6 last Friday night at
Memorial Field.
From the opening play, the
Blue Knight^ indicated that the
game might develop into a rout.
West End received the opening
kick-off and on their first play
from scrimmage attempted a for
ward pass which was intercepted
by Johnny Watkins on West End’s
28 yard line. He raced over for
the first SP touchdown. Jim
Humphrey continued his place
ment kicking streak and added
two points to the score making it
8-0 after one minute of play.
A few minutes later, another
West End attempted pass was in
tercepted by BiUy Cox and he ran
it over for the second tally follow
ed by Humphrtey’s place kick smd
the score at the end of the first
period was 16-0. The entire game
followed much the same pattern
of play with the local team show
ing strong offensive and defen
sive power, keeping the pressure
on West End throughout the
game. They led 32-0 at halftime
and increased it to 40-0 at the end
of the third period.
West End in the fourth period
managed to connect on a long for
ward pass play that covered 60
yards, and picked up their only
score of the game, after which the
Blue Knights countered with two
more quick touchdowns. With
about one minute to play, the
game was automatically ended by
High School rules that when a
team gets a lead of 45 points or
more the game is declared over,
This occurred when the Blue
Knights scored their seventh
touchdown and increased their
lead to 46 points.

the Senate “did everything they
could to destroy Woodrow Wil
son’s dreana of peace.”
Other points on which Mr. GiU
levelled his sights on the current
administration in Washington:
In trying to balance the budget,
the Republicans had better be
careful not to cut national de
fense to the danger point.
President Eisenhower “waited
55 years to decide whether he was
a Democrat or Republican—and
then committed the unpardonable
blunder of becoming a Republi
can.”
The GOP stresses good admin
istration—yet how good is it, ask
ed Mr. Gill, in view of such inci
dents as the “Salk vaccine mess?”
Anyone with an ounce of imagi
nation, he said, could have fore
seen the demand for the vaccine,
Mr.* Gill pointed out, quoting Sec
retary Hobby’s remark that no
one could have foreseen the de
mand.
Awarding of the Dixon Yates
I contract without open competitive
. bidding was cited by the speaker
I as another instance of poor ad
ministration.
The Republicans, he pointed
out, “have not dared to repeal a
single measure of the New Deal’s
accomplishments.”
The difference in the major par
ties can be found in the philoso
phies of their founders, Mr. GiU
said-—Alexander Hamilton’s fear
of the people as a Republican
characteristic, contrasted with
Thomas Jefferson’s faith in the
people, on the part of the Demo
crats.
While most of his address dealt
with national affairs, Mr. Gill also
recognized the Democratic party’s
record of good government in
North Carolina for the past 55
years.

BILLY COX
INTERCEPT PASSES—BUly Cox and Johnny Watkins who
split tailback duties on the 1955 Southern Pines Blue Knights,
each intercepted a West End pass to score in the first quarter of
last Friday’s, West End game. Cox is a four-yesir veteran with
the squad, a good runner and passer, and handles the kickoff
chore. A star in last year’s State Championship game, won by
the Blue Knights, he later made All-State honors. Watkins is
pictured here getting away a booming punt. Johnny is rated by
Coach Me Leonard on a par with any high school punter in the
state. His punts average 40 yards per kick—which is comparable
to mpst coUege hooters. He stands 6-2 and weighs 165.

that a band of supporters will fol
low them to Laurel Hill.
They return home for their next
game on Friday night, Septem
ber 30 with Red Springs, one of
the strongest opponents on the
schedule this year.

GILL PREDICTS
(Continued from Page 1)
to elevate the tone and character
of political debate than anyone
since Woodrow Wilson. “He in
spired the American people with
his intellect, his vision and his in
tegrity.”
Mr. Gill was introduced by
Judge W. A. Leland McKeithen of
Pinehurst who called him an out
standing public servant and one
of the first citizens of North Car
olina. It was recalled that Mr.
Gill led the ticket in North Caro
lina in 1952 when he was elected
State Treasurer. His service in
State and Federal government
runs back to 1928.
Judiciary Praised
Mr. Gill, in acknowledging the
introduction paid tribute to the
judiciary of North Carolina, which
he said is one of the finest in the
nation, and to Judge McKeithen
himself. “Nothing gave me great
er pleasure than his appointment
and reappointment as a special
Superior Court judge,” he said.
Mr. Gill also singled out for
personal recognition R. N. Page
HI who was elected president of
the Moore YDC earlier in the
meeting. “I knew your grandfath
er, Congressman R. N. Page, and
my father and I thought there
was nobody like him,” Mr. Gill
said. Sheriff C. J. McDonald and
his long service to Moore County
also were recognized.
The speaker’s well known use
of humor in political oratory was
illustrated in his opening remarks
which compared Vicki, a carnival
elephant which at the time of the
meeting had disappeared in woods
near Charlotte, with the Republi
can party-“just a good honest
dumb elephant lost in the wilder
ness.”
“She doesn’t know where she
is, she doesn’t know where she’s
going and she doesn’t know where
she’s been. She’s lost in the wil
derness, waiting for the mahout
with the hook, named Dwight D.
Eisenhower, to lead her out.”
Sen. Sam Ervin was praised by
the speaker because “he had the
guts to stand on the floor of the
Senate and say that it was not
McCarthy who was on trial but
the Senate itself.
“From that day, the star of Mc
Carthy began to set. We in North
Carolina ought to be eternally
proud cf that.”
Mr. Gill made the reference in
pointing out that the failure of
Republican leaders to repudiate
McCarthy was “one of the most
disgraceful chapters in American
histoty-”
No president in history has had
such devoted support on foreign
affairs as President Eisenhower
has had from the Democrats, Mr.
GiU pointed out, recalling, by con
trast, how Republican leaders in
