Eagles Open Season
With A Gose Battle
Against ECTC Bees
Ed Winters Leads Locals with
10 Points; Lose By
22-21 Score
Williamston's Eagles opened their
current court campaign last Thurs
day night over in Greenville drop
ping a hard-fought game to the E.
C. T. C. Bees by a 22-21 count.
After getting off to a slow start,
the Eagles found themselves trail
ing by a 13-3 score at half-time, as
the locals couldn't find the basket
range. During the second half the
Eagles came back strong to score
twice as many points as the Bees,
and almost knot the score near the
end of the game.
Paced by a new player, Ed Win
ters, former Durham High School
flash, the Eagles appear to have an
improved club over last year's edi
tion. Howard Earp, with his light
ning floor work, and "Catfish" Skin
ner under the basket, both looked
well.

Davids Are Coining To Town
With a Load of New
Tricks
?
When the famous House of David
basketball team visits Williamston
next Sunday afternoon to play the
Martins, fans of this section are in
for the greatest basketball treat of
the season.
The House of David basketball
team is recognized as the world's
most colorful basketball club and
certainly needs no introduction as
their record stands for itself. With
Due to the fact that The Mes
siah will be presented at the
hlfh school auditorium Sunday
afternoon at 3M, the basketball
tame between the House of Dav
id and the Williams ton Martins
will bectn promptly at 4:15
their beards (lowing in the breezes
and their eyes cocked on the basket
local fans who attend this game will
laugh with glee and howl approval
of the eccentric tricks and great
plays which the bearded beauties
will employ in order to win another
game.
The David basketeers line-up will
be studded with stars, one of which
is bald Bill Steinecke, basketball's
greatest clown and long shot artist.
Steinecke has been with the Davids
for eleven years, starting with them
immediately upon his graduation
from Depaul University where he
was captain and hailed as one of the
best basketball players to ever be
turned out. Bill plays a guard posi
tion and will keep the fans in an
uproar with his antics such as danc
ing and dribbling at the same time,
comical shooting and passing with his
long red beard flowing.
Steinecke is a former catcher for
the Detroit Tigers of the American
League and. is present catcher-man
ager of the Portsmouth, Va , club. He
managed Tarboro in the Coastal
Plain two years ago
Ham Hamilton, 7-year veteran
guard, will be along side Steinecke
and is one of the best passers in the
professional field. Ham is a six foot
er and can pass from all angles, is a
good shot specializing in the coffin
corner spot, best defensive player
of the Davids always taking the hot
shot of the opposition. In seven years
with the Davids he has played in
1,322 complete games without ever
being out one minutes. His favorite
comical stunt is to be in the bleach
ers with the fans and shoot a basket
while the game is in progress. Ham
ilton is a college man from Florida
and is the only Southerner on the
club. Ham and Bill start the play
and fo.-n the best scoring guard
combination in the game today.
Next in line comes big Gene
Brownell, 8 foot 6 inch, 229 pound
center, from Wisconsin, and is the
present greatest ball handler play
ing the game. Gene wears a size 14
shoe and came to the Davids from
Oshkosh, Wis, Mid-Western Pro
champions. He plays pivot and
holds hte ball with one hand and
when he brings the ball in play fans
really get an eyeful of how to do
tricks with a basketball.
At one forward will be Charles
"Moose" Womack, 8 foot 6 Inch, 203
pounds of scoring ability from Tex
as A. and M. College. Moose played
his first year with the Davids last
season where he was the leading
scorer for the club, averaging 20
points per game, showing the vet
erans of the club a few tricks in
point making. His specialty is the
backboard and when he goes up he
gets the ball.
From the Western conference
comes Dan Ehorn, 6 foot 3 Inch, 200
pound forward to join the Davids. He
played at Southern California and
was leading scorer of the far west.
His favorite is the one hand shot,
and he ranks as the baby of the be
whiskered crew, serving his first
year.

Four Williamston Boys Perform
Well For Mars Hill Grid Maehine
Anderson Twins, Boy kin and
Thigpen Offer Cred
itable Showing
A foursome of former Green Wave
athletes performed creditably for the
Mars Hill Lions during the past sea
son. The gridders were Arthur and
Martin Anderson, twins, who were
end and back respectively; J. E. Boy
kin, back, and JoJo Thigpen, cen
ter.
Although badly beaten down at
Chapel Hill, and then taken in by
Appalachian, the eleven from the
Baptist institution fniished fast and
looked good against conference riv
als which represented Tennessee,
Kentucky and South Carolina.
Arthur Anderson, veteran flank
man, playedright end and turned
in many stellar defensive games as
well as catching touchdown passes,
one against a senior technical col
lege from the mid-west, and anoth
er against a conferense rival which
gave his team the necessary points
for victory. He has been the out
standing M. H. C. end for two years.
Martin Anderson, although held
bark by an injury pinx, was still
one of the hardest playing backs
seen in these parts tn many years.
Playing wingback during the early
part of the schedule, Martin was
shifted to plunging or blocking back
as the opposition stiffened A hard
blocker and tackier, he and Thigpen
backed up the line on defense. In the
Hiwassee tilt they performed what
was said by veteran Coach Roberts
and former Big Five star, Jim Cow
an. "as the beat line backing that
they bad seen anywhere."
' J E. Boykin, former field gen
eral for a successful home town ag
gregation made up primarily of the
boys mentioned here, again called
signatS for the Lions. A good back
last year, Boykin improved his run
ning. blocking and tackling during
the summer months. Well liked,
Boykin could run the team more
easily than any man on the squad.
J. E. is also president of the Business
Honor Club.
Jo Jo Thigpen, although the small-1
est man on the squad, was one of the I
hardest tacklers. A fine line backer I
and a good blocker he made an ideal
pivot man. Although troubled by a
kidney injury received in high
school, the going never got too tough
or the opposition too big for JoJo,
or for that matter, any of the Mar
tin products. Wearing extratpads and
guards fr protection of old injur
ies, he looked and played like a
"Man from Mars."
The boys all played under disad
vantage in and weights ra~ttTg~
following will show:
A Anderson, 5 feet 11 inches, 170
pounds; M. Anderson 5 feet 10, 165;
Boykin, six feet one inch, 175; Thig
pen, 5 feet 7 inches, 145.
All of these boys have earned at
least two honor certificates.
Mrs. Bruce Whitley will return
this week from a visit with relatives
in Norfolk and Aulander.
UNCERTAIN
The status of the Coastal Plain
Baseball I.eaguc Is still sur
rounded by uncertainty. War
and other difficulties, mostly fi
nancial, are proving trouble
some.
Meeting In Rocky Mount last
eveninc, directors of the league
voted four to four to disband
during the war emergency, and
only two teams. Rocky Mount
and Wilson, boasted they were
ready, willing and prepared to
continue the sport. No final de
cision was made, the directors
agreeing to meet again on Jan
uary 27 for further discussions.
White Flash Ekes
Out 36-33 Verdict
Over Martins Here
Diem, Manning a ml Carey
Lead In Scoring
Atlnelt
Despite a furious last period ral
ly which netted the Martins four
teen points, it was not enough for
[victory. Lynn's White Flash from
Raleigh finally gaining a 36 33 de
cision over the locals here Sunday
I afternoon.
Improving with every game, the
Martins had the high ranking and
[powerful White Flashes playing
strictly defensive basketball during
the late stages of the game in an ef
fort to control the ball. Pappy Diem
started off in a flurry, scoring eight
of the Martins' nine points in the
first period to give them a 9-7 ad
vantage. The attack bogged down
somewhat in the second quarter
when Diem accounted for two points
and Big Leaguer Beaird sank two
field goals, while the Raleigh quint
was counting twelve points to take
a 19-15 lead at half-time.
The White Flash stretched their
load in the third period to 27-19, as
the Martins were unable to hit the
hoop with accuracy. But in the fi
nal period Jack Manning and Shorty
Corey "got hot" to come within strik
ing distance of a victory.
Diem and Manning made a num
ber of beautiful and difficult shots
in racking up 10 and eight points re
spectively. while Shorty Corey was
outstanding under the basket, mak
ing eight of his nine points on re
bounds
Smith, w iHi 12 points, led the
White Flash.
