Local Boy To Run Against Glenn Cunningham in Richmond Making Plans For Tennis Tourney For the past several years there has been no tennis tournament in this immediate vicinity. There are, however, many inveterate players, who are interested in participating in a tennis tourney. With the thought in mind of con ducting a tournament, the public's reaction toward such a project is desired. Any one, boy or girl, who is interested in entering the match play is urged to get in touch with Junie Peel at once. It will be necessary to charge a nominal entrance fee to provide balls for the tournament play and in the interest of trophies for the vic tors. In the last tennis tournament held in this county. Oscar Anderson, Jr., and Jack Manning won the doubles championship and Oscar Anderson, Jr., was best in singles in a well con ducted tourney carried out with great success. r Martint Pick Earn/a Ml Tuesday, May 30.

University Star of the Track i Huh Tough Assignment Ahead of llim (By JUNIE PEEL) Tom Crockett, local young man and star on the University of North Carolina track team, is slated for a tough assigned when he meets Glenn Cunningham, holder of the world's record for the mile run, in the Vir ginia A. A. U. track and field cham pionships to be held in Richmond tomorrow. Crockett, yodng son of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Crockett, of Wil liamston, probably enters the race With the odds against him. but Cun ningham. the tall and fleet-footed fellow from out in Kansas will well know he is in a race before he reaches the end of that Dixie mile tomorrow. The event is a feature on the program. Tom does not go into the race en tirely wj^hout laurels duely earned for himself, and just because Cun ningham holds something that is re ferred to as a world's record is no valid reason why the home-town boy can't show his opponent the heels. On Sunday, Tom, accompanied by Jim Davis and Bill Corpcning. all of whom are members of the Univer sity of North Carolina's Southern Conference championship team will embark for the Pacific coast, for a six weeks' tour. White on the west coast the boys will compete in sev eral championship meets. Writing this tends to remind me of Tom's early ambitions and the things which spurred his racing career. As a student in St. John's College in Maryland, he was not active in sports until one day he happened to compete in ?n intramural race, pac ing the field for the entire distance to become an easy winner. During the entire following sum mer Tom's thoughts lay with track and he trained assiduously. As the school year approached he surveyed the field of colleges, and settled on the Tar Heel State University, par tially because of its excellent com mercial course, and because it had long been known as the home of fine distance runners. Under expert tutelage he quickly developed, even though he was un able to compete at first because of conference regulations. In his Jun ior year he tried for the cross-coun try team and rapidly improved until as a climax of the season he finish ed sixth in the conference run. He also turned 111 many fine records in indoor and outdoor track that sea son. This year Tom returned to Cha pel Hill determined to outdo even his previous achievements, and has succeeded by coming in third in the conference cross-country run. His teammates showed their prompt ap preciation by naming him captain for next year, Tom, assisted by Coach Fetzer had meanwhile centered his attention upon the two mile run. and proceeded to lower the previous con ference record six seconds, making, the record now nine minutes 40.4 seconds. This completes our little narrative of local boy makes good. except the time in an inter-class meet when Tom ran the two miles in 9.35 as a fine tune-up for the Dixie mile in Richmond.
