Third Defeat in Tko Sea
sons By Janiesville
Winning by a margin of 20
point' or better in each game, the
lastAtepping basketballers of the
Jamesville High School last night
defeated the Green Wave teams of
Williamston High for the first
double defeat of the year and the
third in two seasons, ail by James
ville.
The Jameville giiis were harder
pressed for their victory than t/he
boys, a complete reversal of the
pre-game dope, as the boys won
43 to 21 after being ahead 22 to 4
at the half and the girls pulled
i. . " ..
away from a 17 to 9 half-time
count to win 37 to 17.
Unlike the boys game which
had eor.y two before
Brewer of Jarnesville broke the
ice with a field goal, Waters was
in with another and Brewer and
Gaines added two to nut the vis
itors out front R to 0 with two
minutes to go ir. the first quarter.
Griffin threw in a field goal and
Brewer came back with one to
put the score at 10 to 2 at the end
of the first quarter as it became
quite apparent that the flashy and
smooth-working Jarnesville five
was off to a good start and not
likely to be headed as the Green
Wave played sluggish ball, missed
the basket repeatedly and lost the
ball to the alert bail-hawks of
Jarnesville.
Brewer opened the scoring in
the second quarter with a field
goal after Modlin had missed a
free throw and Carrow matched
the points with a field goal the
last score of the half for the Green
Wave as Gaines connected from
. the corner, missed to free throws
! then dropped in a field goal to run
| the score up. Gaines missed two
I more free throws but dropped in
! a two-pointer and Waters follow
! ed with another. Fields goals by
Gaines and Brewer closed the
! scoring for the first half. While
Williamston could not connect on
goal shots from the floor. James
ville had trouble all even with its
free throws, missing 7 in the first
half and four in the second while
Williamston in the first
half but made good on five out of
nine in the second half.
Brewer and Gaines led James
ville with 14 points each while
Waters had 6. Modlin 3, Beard,
Hardison and Reason 2 apiece.
Bobby Rogers score 9 points to
top Williamston while Landy Grif
fin was second with 8, Carrcw was
credited with 2 and Carson and
Taylor with one each.
The Jamesville boys played an
excellenyfloor game and were on
the alert? at all times although the
second string was a bit W'ild on
passes at tim^s. j
Leading tlft Jamesville girls to
victory was. Barbara Coltrairi with
117 points. She played an excflRmt
j game and it was noted that she
j did not make as many futile at
| tempts at field goals as last sea
son. Modlin was second with 11
points for the winners while
Brewer accounted for 9. Nancy
Roberson^fSs*again hign for the
Williamston girls with 11 while
Cullipher accounted for 5 and
Peaks 2.
In the girls game, the locals out
did the boys in that they did go
ahead at one point, 'eading 6 to 4
with two minutes tc go in the
first quarter when Jamesville
called for a time out. Three quick
field goals while Williamston was
making one free throw, put the
winners ahead to stay at 10 to 7 at
the close of t^ie first quarter. Half
time score was 17 to 9.
The double loss was the first for
Williamston since the Jamesville
teams pulled the trick last year.
The loss was the third in two seas
ons for the boy?, all to Jamesville.
Jamesville will be host to Hert
ford Friday night while Ahoskie
will play in Williamjtton. Coach
Jack Young of Ahoskie was here
last night to scout Williamston but
his notes certainly are not ap{ to
do him much good.
Martins Lose To
Woodland Stars
A.
The Williamston Martins drop
ped a hard-fought game with the
second place Wood.and All-Stars
last night in Woodland, 72 to 55. A
large crowd saw one of the fast
game sof the season with Jesse
Parker being the high scorer with
25 points.
Due to two flat tires the Martins
did not floor the first team until
the second quarter at which time
the winners had a 21 point mar
gin. This team played good ball
an dscored 11 points more than
the winners in the second half but
could not close the gap.
The Martins will play the fam
ous House of David team here to
night in the local gymnasium at
8:15.

Choosing Leaf
Variety a Puzzle
m/
“What tobacco variety shall I
plant?” is a question which many
; North Carolina farmers are asking
themselves nowadays. Their pro
blem is complicated by many fac
tors—differences in soil, cultiva
tion and cropping methods, and
disease infestation on the land.
There is added trouble, even, in
the very fact that so many differ
ent varieties are now available to
growers.
For the puzzled grower. Dr. W.
E. Colwell and Dr. W. G. Woltz of
the North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station have some
timely advice: If you don’t know
which variety to use, see your
county agent. This statement ap
plies particularly to grow er.^ who
have disease problems.
The disease problem has beer
"• ———.. .
■specially troublesome to some
growers, the tobacco research sci
entists point out. Wilt-resistant
varieties have been planted on
shank-infested land, and vice ver
sa. Unaware of their error, grow
ers have sometimes blamed their
crop failures on the variety plant
ed.
According to Colwell and Woltz,
varieties are now available which
are resistant to one of the fol
lowing diseases: black shank,
Granville wilt, or black root rot.
However, there is no commercial
variety at present which carries
high resistance it Ftssarivsm wilt
or the root knot organism.
In genera;, Oxford 1 and some
of the Vesta strains are recom
mended for shank-infested soils.
The exact choice depends on sev
eral factors. For areas in which
wilt is prevalent, the grower has
but one choice—Oxford 26; and
,for soils infested with black root
rot, Yellow Special and 400 are
the best varieties to use.
