Locals In Scoring

Mills Twins Shine; Martins
Displav Improved Brand
Of Play
In an exciting and slightly rough
exhibition here Sunday afternoon,
the Williamston Martins were edged
out by the Sanford Spinners, 48-44,
with the local quint offering a great
ly improved brand of play, the de
ciding points coming in the closing
seconds of the contest.
The Spinners started off strong
with Jim Mills sinking eleven points
in the opening quarter, which saw
the Martins trailing 17-4 at one
time. But the local began to hit
their stride and brought the count
up to 24-12 at the end of the first
period.
In the second quarter, Sanford's
other twin, Joe Mills began hitting
the hoop, but the Martins, led by
Pappy Diem closed in on the visi
tors to make the half-time score 33
to 24.
Tightening up their defense during
the last half, Williamston pulled up
to within ten points of the Spinners
at the end of the third period with
Jack Manning blasting away for
led the offense in the final period
which saw the Martins come to with
in a single goal of tieing the score
and only seconds to play. However,
luck was evidently against the home
boys for Pappy Diem fired away
with a perfect set shot only to have
the ball bounce out of the basket.
As John Womble counted the final
goal for the Spins the whistle sound
ed ending the battle.
Those who witnessed the contest
vi^fh that the Mills twins are two
of the best players seen in this sec
tion for some time. Despite the fact
that they were closely guarded dur
ing the entire last half, they scored
a total of 31 points and were fighting
hard til the finish.
But Jack Manning and Pap Diem
turned in brilliant performances for
Williamston, each scoring twelve
points, a number of which resulted
from difficult shots Shorty Corey
and Oscar Bie were next with six
points each.

Two Examinations
For All Selectees
Beginning some time in January
the Army will alter its system for
examining selectees, the Martin
County Draft Board was advised
yesterday.
The young man in line for service
will be given a preliminary examina
tion by the county draft board physi
cians who will defer all men with
obvious defects. If a man has only
one leg. or if he is blind, or if there
are other obvious defects, he will not
be required to undergo another ex
amination. Other cases will bo refer
red to a medical center where they
will stand a final physical eamina
tion. If they pass the final examina
tion the young men are in direct line
for military service without further
examination. All draftees in this sec
tion will undergo the final examina
tion at New Bern.
According to information coming
from the county draft board, a draf
tee will first be instructed to report
to the board physicians in William
ston for a preliminary examination.
I{ there are no obvious defects, he
will then be notified to report for
the final examination. The govern
ment Will furnish transportation to
TTi'w Bcrn where his physical status
will be determined. If the draftee
passes the examination, he will be
placed?hi?Class?1?A?and?returned
home to await instructions for in
