Green Wave Meets Oak City In Season Opener Here
Local Boys Tearn
Has Poor Offense
_ Oak City's Boys,
Williamston Girls
Favored To Win
Kxliiliilion Game Against
Oli! Grads Proves De
fense To Be Strong
With basketball already off to a
fixing start in all the other high
schools of the county, the Green
Wave cage teams of Williamston
High School go into action Tues
day night, (Dec. 19) against a
county foe. Oak City. Odds over
the week-end appeared to favor
the Oak City boys and the Wil
liamston girls although there is
not too much to go on in making
comparisons.
Boys’ teams at Bear Grass, Rob
I ersonville and Jamesville are ex
pected to be strong this sec
in fact, their records to date
cate Jamesville and Bear Grass in
front while Robersonville's small
er but fast-breaking team a close
runner-up. Oak City has played
steady ball and is rated over the
Williamston five on the basis of
more practice and experience and
better shooting. Williamston ap
pears to have a good defensive
t* team but is woefully short of
point-makers if early practice is
any sign. In a practice game with
last year's graduates the Green
Wave boys' team failed to score in
the first half and Jack Ross, a
football player with little cage ex
perience did all the scoring except
for a free throw by John Rogers.
No news has been given this
department from any of the coun
ty teams except Bear Grass but
it is understood that the girls
teams at Bear Grass and James
ville are slightly under par this
season while Robersonville is also
a shade weaker. Oak Ci#y lost
in its defensive department last
year but has scoring punch left.
Williamston has perhaps the most
experienced girl’s team in this
county but how they carry on this
year remains to be seen. They had
a good record last year and will
be tough again this year.
Year before last Coach Stuart
Maynard lost his entire starting
five of Guy Carrow, Bobby Rog
ers, Bobby Taylor. Landy Griffin,
land David Carson and it looked
i'kc curtains but he came back
mg when Jerry Forehand and
i Raymond Davis reported here last
year and Rush Bondurant, Charles
I Carver and Asa Manning develop
ed rapidly after playing second
fiddle to the classy five the year
[ before. This year, however, a lot
j of work will be necessary to get
close to the class the Green Wave
| teams have had for the past two
years
While Maynard started Ray
mond Davis at centei against the
| grads, Harrell Everett and Regi
1 nald Coltrain at forwards and
John Rogers and Watson McKeel

FLOOD OF KOREAN REFUGEES STREAMS SOUTHWARD
THE THIRD DESPERATE TREK STARTS for South Korean civilians along the railroad leading rearward from
Seoul. Hundreds of thousands, who fled ttie city beforethe Ileds captured it last summer, returned with th«
U.N. forces. With the Republican capital again menaced, the refugees flock over the same escape route. In
the foreground, a British vehicle lies abandoned from the earlier lighting. '*■tcrnational Soundphoto)
In Courtroom Scene
FIGURES IN a custody drama, screen
actor Franchot Tone and his former
wife, Jean Wallace, cross paths in
a Santa Monica, Calif., courtroom

at guards, it was indicated that
substitutions in the early games
will be heavy Jack Ross, despite
his lack of experience, was easily
one of the best prospects on the
1 floor and made a good impression j
on some of the experienced grads
with his work undei the basket.
The tall boy played center on the
football team and may sis a lot
of action at the same spot for the |
Green Wave live this season. He I
is the best shot on the team at i
present and likely will be until
Boby Clayton is able to join the J
team after Christmas
Some subs handled the ball
pretty good bm showeu tnen lack
of practice with ragged play In
this group was Jack Edwards,
Gloyden Stewart, James Coltrain,
and Ross
The Williamston girls arc also
showing lack of practice but they
have a more experienced squad.
Five ol last year’s six starters are
back again. Jean Bailey, Verlc
i Leggette and Priscilla Roberson
are certain to get their starting
assignments again at guards while
Alice Peaks and Edna Coltrain are
buck ;it their forward positions, j
Who will take the place vacated j
by Nancy Roberson depends on i
practice sessions prior to game
time. It appears to lie between
I three of last year's top subs Jean
Mobley, Rhoda Faye Reel and
Dannette Bailey. All three have
shown improvement this year and
'the race for the odd forward spot
i is close. Miss Harnett Tucker, li
j brarian at the high school, is as
sisting Coach Maynard in handling
! t he girls' team.
There are at least three new
! coaches in the county this year—
Carroll Blackerby at Jamesville,
Bob Lee at Robersonville for the
boys' team and Frank Harrell at
Robersonville, coach of'the girls'
tea m.
High-power engines furnish as
much horse power as ever in this

Yulelide Party
At Orphanages
Pope AFB, Ft Bragg.—Plans of j
Pope Air Force Base airmen for
“Operation Christmas," a yule- j
tide party for 500 North Carolina
orphans, were expanded today
when it became known that con
tributions totaling $3500 plus do
nations from cooperative Fayette
ville merchants exceeded the
drive’s goal.
With the additional funds the
flying Santa Claus, who is trading I
his traditional reindeer and sleigh
for a United States Air Force
helicopter, now intends to give
radios for the children's cottages
at the Oxford Masonic Orphan
age when he alights at that in
stitution. He will also present
candy to the boys and giri.;.
Santa's plans for visiting al
most 300 more orphans in three
other institutions the same day,
December 31, remain unchanged.
At that time his helicopter will
land at the Colored Orphanage at
Oxford, the Free Will Baptist Or
phanage at Dunn, and the Faleon
was high man with 111 points and
Andnson and Keeter scored 8
•each. Anderson was the only play
i er on either team to foul out.
, Jamesville led at the quarter,
12-0, at the half, 23-Hi, and at the
three-quarter mark, 39-30.
Orphanage near Fayetteville, dis-!
tributing toys and gifts of warm
apparel to the youngsters.
The next day the children of the
Falcon Orphanage will be trans
ported to Pope Air Force Base
for a gala Christmas party in the
non-commissioned officers' club,
highlight of which will be the
presentation of their bus. This
vehicle, used to transport the in
stitution’s choir to fund raising
recitals in nearby communities,
had been inoperative for some
time. Pope Air Force Base me
chanics, working in their off du
ty hours, reconditioned the bus
from the inside out and made it
roadworthy again.
“Operation Christmas" began
as a dream of two airmen. They
quickly found others who wished
to help orphans, and enthu
siasm for the project spread rap
idly Various committees visited
the orphanages to analyze then
needs, accepted contributions
from personnel at Pope Air Force
Base, purchased candy, toys and
Shortage In Coal
Troubles Commies
A report from Vienna on No
vember 20, announced that the
so called oeople's Democracies are
having difficulty with production
due to a coal shortage and a re
fusal of miners to meet the quo
tas desired This coal shortage is
reported to be particularly severe
in Romania, Czechoslovakia and
Hungary. The authorities are re
ported to be asking for a more
| stringent discipline to make up
for the deficit in administration
j and production. It was announced
i that a bonus system had failed
j to produce the expected output.
; gifts from local merchants, wrap
ped packages, arranged for trans
! portation, and repaired the Fal
con bus
So far, 1950 has been a slow
I year for those who are interested
in commemorative stamps.
