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.

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. ?

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.
