Sports Basketball Prospects Jamesville and Everetts r Have Best Bo Robersonville Basketball Comes Into Its Own In This County Basketball, up to a few years ago, was a baok number among the list of games played in the county. The game now attracts more' attention than any other sport in the county. While interest in several parts of the county is greater than in other parts, it is general throughout, and there are prospects of its becoming even more noticeaSle. As tor the ranking of the team.-, al this stage ol the season, there is no tloubi as to the positions held by the Everetts and Jamesville teams, each claiming the top. The claim it undecided and will probably remain so until the county championship se ries gets under way after the Christ mas holidays. 1 Oak City record so far gives it third place with Hamilton and others following. Interest in the game at William ston is far below par, and to make any showing the boys of the high school will have to put forth increased efforts. While the material here is not the best, it is generally believed that a fair team could be developed. The football eason only closed here last week, and the fact that most of the baskeiball players were also mem bers of the*football squad has held up basketball practice about two weeks. Little intercut is being shown in the boys' Ceam at Itobcrsonville, prob ably for the same reasons that pre vail here. That school aUo closed its football season last week. There are t«veral other schools in which little interest is shown in basketball. Jamesville and Everetts have reach ed that point where they have gained the favor of their people; and this, in a great measure, accounts for the success of there two teams. Loyal support is missing in the majority of the other schools. The Robenonville school probably has the best girls team in the county, followed by Everetts and Williamston.

Madigan, St. Tournament Now Center of Interest No other event could have more completely aroused the in terest of fans in thin section than hat> the baaektball tourna ment to be btaged i n Windsor the latter part of thia month in connection with the Peanut Ex position. Several of the teams in the county are doing double practice for the event. With county being repsesented by sev eral able teams, it is most like ly that the cup will rest in one of the strongholds within its borders. T' 1 Everetts Defeats Windsor, 34 to 16 In a well-played game Everetts de feated the Windsor High School bas ketball team in Everetts last Tuesday night by a core of 34 to 16. Windsor's efforts to overcome their opponents' lead were of little conse- quence, and its team did well to hold Everetts' score to 34 points Two County Teams to Enter Tournament Two teams, Jamesville and Ever etts, are «ire of entering the gasket ball tournament at Windsor when the Eastern Carolina and Tidewater Vir ginia l'eanut Exposition is held the latter part of this month. While it is not definite, it is understood that Oak City is planning to have its team entered. Othpr teams have bene men tioned probable contestants for the championship from this county, but at this time reliable information cold not be had. Nine persons were lynched in this country during the first six months of 1 an increase of four over the -same period last year. Six of the vic tims were negroes, two were whites, and one ftn Indian. Marys, Calif,; and Dan E. McGuigan, Vanderbilt, are the coaches who co operated with Mr. Rice. Geographically, the West predomi nates in the .selections, securing seven places against four from the East. « THE ENTKEPWISK—WILXI-AJrtfTpft, ft, C Sports Town Team' Beats Strong Rocky Mt. Y' The Rocky Mount "Y" basketball team Was humbled here last Tuesday night when the local town team de feated the visitors 20 to 16. The tame was a bit roughly played, and with little interference, from the ref eree, the members of both teams ably di (played their ability on the court. At the end of the half Williamston led by a small margin, which it man aged to maintain throughout the game. Itritt, for the locals, led both trams in scoring when he made 14 of the local's 20 points. The visitors failed in their many attempts to overcome Williamston's lead, but in every ca'te their oppon ents tightened in their guard work, and held them to 7 field goals and two fouls. ■ ..j ' While there was no excellent brand of basketball displayed, the game was thoroughly enjoyed by the few fans present.

Rohersonville Girls' Team Looks Best The Itobersonville girls' team, while it may not be as good as the one which tied with Woodland for dis trict championship honors last year, will no doubt carry away the county hrnors thiw year. With only one mem ber of last year's team playing, a splendid team has been developed, one that promises to gain honors in this part of the State. There are otHer girl.s' teams in the making in the conty, but material is decidedly lacking, and the progress is necessarily slow. JamesvilleFive Skins Wildcats of Washington Turning out to be a one-sided affair, the basketball game here Wednesday between the Janrasville High School team and the Washington Wild Cats was pronounced to be one of the best played on the Brick Warehouse's court this season. Jamesville's 35 points bear out the superiority of that team, while the 9 points of the Wild Cats are of little value when it comes to judging the fight put up by them. Several witnesses to the game state that it was one of the bes games seen here this season. The Wild Cats, composed of young men and school boys of Washington, vk-ere no match for Jamesville's drib blers, and their nine points, it might be said, came mostly the result of accidents.

Lake Landing Hyde County North Carolina j Everetts and Locals In Tight Game Here Thrill after thrill was afforded to spectators when the basketball boys of the Ereretts High School met the local town team in the warehouse here last night. The visitors threw a scare into the big boys of the- town team when they carried the game into an extra period. It was just a mater of luck that the town boyu added 3 points to their score and broke the 17-17 tie existing at the end of .the regular period. The final score" was 20 to 17, in favor of the Jocals. «.'* All through the teams made desperate efforts to build up a lead, but the end of the «ame found each with 17 points. The extra period of play gave Williamston 3 points, and the vi itors were held to their original score. The game.was ruugiily played, but it is said to have been the best game of the season to date.
