256 PLAY IN ANNUAL GOLF EVENT
Harvey, Towler Win 3rd Carousel
Bill Harvey of Greensboro and
Reid Towler of Raleigh, who
have been coming to the Southern
Pines Golf Carousel for six
years, and won it in 1960 and
1961, won for the third time in
finals Sunday.
Harvey’s eagle-3 on the 14th
hole closed out the champion
ship match, 5 and 4, on the Pine-
Needles course, against a local
team. Max Forrest and George
Pottle.
Forrest and Pottle are also pre
vious champions. Having won
the first Carousel in 1953, they
were runners-up in 1954, but
never got together as a team af
ter that until this year, when
they were runners-up again.
Last weekend, under Jaycee
sponsorship, the Carousel was
the biggest and best in its history,
with 256 entries composing 128
teams, from 14 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia. The men’s di
vision had 104 teams—the cham
pionship flight of 16 and 12
flights of eight teams each. 'Three
flights, or 24 teams, made up the
mixed division.
Winners of the mixed division
were Mr. and Mrs. Don Mortell,
of Kankakee, Ill., who won their
first Carousel last year and were
medalists this year.
In the men’s division, the de
fending champions. Bob Davies
of Gettysburg, Pa., and Warren
Bell of Southern Pines, were
ousted in semifinals by Forrest
and Pottle. Medalists were How
ard Holshouser and Ernest Hayes
of Winston-Salem, tied with Al
len Breed and Pete Zaccagnino
of Greensville, Del., with a 70
score. Holshouser and Hayes fell
before Forrest and Pottle in the
first round, while Breed and Zac
cagnino made it to the semifinals,
losing there to Harvey and Tow
ler.
The championship match was
described as “just real good golf.”
Besides the eagle-3, the winners
scored a couple of birdies, and
parred about half the holes.

WHEN BOYD HUNTED THE HOUNDS
How It Was In The Early Days
The letter following was writ
ten by the late James Boyd to
one of his closest friends, Charles
Norman (now Major General
Norman, ret.) of Fairleigh Hall,
West Mailing, Kent. The recipi
ent was then a prisoner of the
Germans, having been captured
with the rest of his regiment in
one of the first actions of World
War 1, the cavalry charge in
Belgium of the British Lancers.
The friendship of the two men
had started when both were liv
ing at Trinity College as gradu
ate students. They started their
hunting careers together at that
time.
Waiting to his friend to try to
while away the long^ prison
hours, Jim Boyd tells of those
early days when he was start
ing the pack here in Moore
County. The letter is full of the
humor in which these two friends
delighted. However, this report
er is able to testify that things
really WERE like that in the old
days of the beginnings of the
Moore County Hounds.
The fox drawings were stolen
from Glen Round'S, another good
friend of the author. —KLB.

Dear Charles,
The last few months have seen
me swamped with estate busi

latter are eating up the substance
of the former and I am forced to
realize that I am equally igno-

On Friday, November 27,
Coach Tony Trentini’s Southern
Pines Blue Knights journey to
Salisbury, to meet Glen Alpine

2 losses with their 20-6 victory
over Helena High School in the
state playoffs, are expecting a
tough contest with Glen Alpine,

8 wins and 3 losses by virtue of
a 20-12 win over a strong East
Surry team last Friday night, for
the right to meet the Knights for
the championship.
Because of the numerous
schools involved. Class 1-A teams
this year did not play for an
East-West or State champion
ship, but rather are playing for
four separate “Regional” Cham
pionships.
One of these regional titles was
won by Aberdeen High School
last Friday night with its 37-7
victory over Oxford Orphanage
at Wake Forest.
