Bondurant fol lowed with another shot and then Raymond Davis found the range for two field goals in a row to put the Green Wave out front 10 to nothing. Trying for a free shot Irving Everton of Columbia miss ed hut Bryan Liverman made one point on his foul shot and then Evert«n made good on his second chance from the foul line. Davis followed this with a field goal for : ggoooooogoooo&aoooogooooooftfle^oci Herbert Fiierst, D. S. . j I announces the opening of offices in the Ep stein Building.

A field goal as the quarter ended enabled Liverman to pull his team’s count to 4. That was the way it went for the rest of the game when the starting five was on 'hr court for WP Rams, ton, but Coach Stuart Maynard gave bis subs a workout in the second quarter and the final stanza, thus givin the visitors a chance to do a little scoring. Davis was the high scorer of the boys’ game with 14 points In second place was Rush Bondurant whose push shots from the fore court helped him tally 9 points. In third place were Carver and Jerry Forehand with 8 each. Har rell Everett who needs only to get rid of stage fright to break into the starting line-up, got five points with a foul shot and two field goals He did not miss a shot. Asa Manning and Shelton Bailey scored four points each, Bobby Clayton and Watson Mc Keel got two each. Going into the game in the closing quarter, Russell Corey, James Coltrain, Jimmie Page and Reg Coltrain got in a little competitive prac tice. After getting two quick fouls called on him before he had gotten his bearings, Jimmie Page played the rest of the way in good style, bringing up the ball from the back court surprisingly well for a small, ^ inexperienced fellow. Jimmy Alexander was the scor ing leader for Columbia with 10 points, Liverman got 9, Everton and Ernest Sutton 3 each ^nd Kermit Walker 2. Examinations at both schools this week caused a postponement of the return game with Scotland Neck there which had been set for Wednesday night. However, the Green Wave teams take on Eden ton in the Williamston gym Fri day night of this week at 7:30. The visitors made but 6 points off the Green Wave first string and could only break even in play against the second and third fives. The score at the end of the first quarter was 14-4, at the half it was 29-15, three fourths {he way it stood at 50-17, and the final, as a result of a flurry of scoring at i the close by the Wildcats, was 56 * to 27. The Williamston girls, making | their Work hard for themselves, had a perfect record on one thing for the night, they failed to make a single foul shot good in the -fourteen times they had chances. The g.r’s game some ol the closest guarding ever noted in the local gym and the fouls were few and far between. Williamston was charged with only five, Col- ; umbia only 11. The Williamston fouls cost them one point, the vis itors' fouls cost them nothing in points but lost them the services i of a top-flight guard toward the close of the game. Nancy Robertson on offense and Jean Bailey on defense were the workhorses for the Green Wave girls. Nancy scored 16 points and handled the ball well, and Jean Bailey deserves a large portion of the credit for the vic tory with her great work in the closing minutes of play. Alice Peaks Scored 10 points for Wil liamston and Edna Coltrain got the remaining 6. The best shoot ing eye in the girls’ game belong ed to Jane Cahoon who racked up 10 field goals for a 20 point total although she missed on her lone free shot try. Everton got 7 and Vanhorne 2 for the visitors. The best defensive player for Colum bia by all odds was Hopkins who was much faster than her size might indicate she could be. The Columbia girls opened the scoring when Vanhorne got her one and only basket of the game. Coltrain matched that for Wil liamston but Everton and Cahoon took the lead back with two field goals. Robertson hit from the! floor and Peaks made two field ! goals and Nancy came back with another as it looked like the girls in Green were getting started. A free shot was missed by both sides then Robertson and Cahoon swap ped field goals and Gaboon and Coltrain did the same to put the score at 14-10 in favor of the local j girls at the quarter whistle. Rob ertson made a field goal to open the second quarter but baskets by Everton and Cahoon cut the mar gin again and after a field goal by Peaks, Cahoon tied the count at Jartitsville Wilis Two at Colerain -# Although the girls came sail ing through without too much dif ficulty. thanks to the sharp-shoot ing at Barbara Co!train. • the- boys of Jar.iesville High Schorl ran in to their closest match of the sea son when the teams met Colerain High a4 Colerain last Thursday night The girls won 58 to 35*but the boys had to go from a 40-40 tie at regular game time to a 47 to 43 overtime victory. The boys team was greatly han dicapped by |he absence front ac tion of their veteran forward, Randy Waters. He suffered a back injury in the game against Hear Grass and will not likely be able to play much before the last of this week. A freshman, Bobby 18-all with two field goals as the half ended. Williamston took the lead again in the third quarter on a basket by Robertson but Cahoon netted two shots from the floor to grab the lead for the visitors. Robert son tied it up with a field goal and after Everton made free shot Nancy put the Green ahead with another field goal. Everton and Cahoon grabbed the lead at 27-24 with field goals toward the close of the third quarter. A field goal hy Robertson cut the lead to one point just before Cahoon scored her team's last tally of the game. As the Green Wave defense stif fened and the visitors’ top guard fouled out. the local girls went ahead to stay on field goals bv Peaks and Coltrain. Peaks add ed another to end the scoring and then Robertson, Peaks and Col-j train missed on successive free shots as the final buzzer sounded. Neither girls’ team could get sufficient margin to give the subs a chance to play although Rachel Chesson got in some good work as I substitute guard and Ruby Sav age got in some work at center for the Green Wave. Playing a steady game at guard were Verle Leggett and Priscilla Robertson although they were not quite able to keep pace with Bailey. --— Hardison, filled in the Rap and played well despite his laek of ex perience His clever ball hand ling helped to give the Jamesville five its edge as he fought to the lirnit all the way.

She got 28 points in shots from all angles from the floor and made good on five out of 7 free throws. Brownie Hol liday was second for the winners with 13 points, Shirley Gaines got 5, Margaret Perry 3, Lib Brewer 2 and Faye Rogeis and Pat Garvin 1 each.

Coach McCaffity put all the girls in the game who were with the team on the trip. Hose Askew led Colerain's point mak ers with 20. Hughes and Edna Perry were defensive leaders. Waters injured a muscle in his back in making one of his favor ite jump shots against Bear Grass last week. Whether he will see any action against Pantego tomor row night at Pantego depends on the doctor's report arid the same applies to the contest against Bel haven on Friday night. -- Generally lower prices for live stock and livestock products are in prospect for 1950, partly as a result of increased supplies Two Sets Twins In Ten Months I.os Angeles. -Girls, here's a record to shoot at!
