Sedtion 2 - * VOLUME XXX—NUMBER 2 Durham Defeats Jamesville in Eastern Finals, 43-16 Bull City Lads Show Superior Form to Win The Durham High School basketball team gained the eastern Carolina championship title last Tuesday night when it defeated Jamesville 43 to 16 in a game played at Chapel Hill. The game was equally played through the first period, but in the second half Durham's white whirlwind staged a strong attack and made the majority of its points, Chandler alone scoring 10 points in the last & minutes. Brown featured for Jamesville, when he made 9 of his team's 16 points from all angles of the court. Howard Gaylord was a close second when he made the remaining 6 points of his team's total. The outcome of the game is far from what the majority of the people ot this section expected. They had seen Jamesville play, and not to have seen the up-country lads in action, nothing but a closer score could have been expected. Durham's superiority on the court is unquestioned, but Jamesville is not to be ignored. The county lads work ed their way up to Chapel Hill by de feating some strong teams, a feat that a large number of teams from larger towns were unable to do. They have played a brand of basketball that has drawn the largest number of spectators to see a game of basket all than any other team. They won the silver loving cbup at the peanut exposition in Windsor, meeting teams from this and several sections in Vir ginia. They are to be reckoned with, and are in line for congratulations for go ing so far as to meet Durham ia Chapel Hill. Robersonville Won 5; Lost 3 This Season Out of 8 games on its schedule this season, the Robersonville boys' basket ball team won 5, losing 3 by very cloe margins. Farm Life won by the closest score of the season when it got the big end of a 20-1® score. Ham ilton and Williamston each nosed out a victory by a 3-point margin. The team has 113 points to the 89 made by opposing teams. Rogers led his team in points scored and is held to be the team's best player. Perkins and Crofton played well as guards.

Mythica' All-Coun Contains Three and Two Everet The landing of the Everetts and Jamesville basketball teams narrowed the selection for an all county team down to those two. It ia without question that the two teams' members are deserving of special mention, TJUI after JUDGING from many angle" the merits of players, the following team was selected: Forwards: Jimmie Brown, James ville, and Dick Cherry, Everetts. Local Hi's Win 8 of 9 Games The Williams ton High School Ijoys basketball team ..made a good record in the sport this year, winning 8 out of nine games. The boys got off to a late start, and the first of the sea sen saw them in weak straits. Coach Phillips soon worked his boys out of j the rut, and before the season was i over creditable basketball was played by his team. As compared with the 88 points made by the opponents, the locals made 151. The only game lost was dropped to the strong Everett* team during the indoor circus here. Crawford, stationary guard, and Ward, forward, played well in all the games. Teamwork was not lacking, however, for all members of the team worked together. Seven letters were awrded members ot the team by the athletic associa tion; the letters going to Brown, Crawford, Koel, Peel, Ward, Cooke, and Liverman. The team's season record follows: Williamston Opponents 18 Farm Life, 6 1 Kobersonville, 9 16 i Hamilton, 6 13 Farm Life, 9 24 Hamilton, 10 7 Everetts, 20 1 Windsor, 10 31 Windsor, 8 21 Pantego, 10 154 Totals 88 Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, March 4,1927 Center: Howard Gaylord, of Janifsville. Guards: Arch Roebuck, of Ever ett*, and I'ete Warrington, of Jamesville. Jamesville and Everetts have other good material, but Rober" sonville, Hamilton, and WillMm ston have to be reckoned witn in that they have material in the making and no doubt strong teams wilt result later. Slate Tournament Postponed to Monday The State basketball tournament which was scheduled to begin last night ha*; been postponed until next v/eek. This steif 1 was taken when ihe snow made it impossible forteamh from all over the State to reach the Capital City this week.

Its only defeat came v.hen it met Red Oak in Rocky Mount cbout the middle of the season. The Washington Wildcats tied one with the county lads, but lost in a games at the latter part of the season, 25 to 16. During the season, teams from towns many times larger than Ever etts have met defeat. Good names have been played and thi> team has had the backing of the community.
