shooting it has faced this yea; as
they invaded the Plymouth gym
for a doubleheader with the Pan
thers and then sisters. The Wil
liamston girls grabbed a brief
lead but could not hold it and
gradually fell behind to wind up j
on the short end of a 51-36 score i
but the Williamston boys never
were ahead and after the first five
minutes of play were out of the
race, losing 45 to 36.
Eight Williamston boys figured
in the scoring but none of them
could hit consistently while Dav
enport scored 20 as he hit with
amazing consistency to pull Plym
outh out of danger.
The Williamston girls were still
close enough to make a fight of it
right up to the early minutes of
the fourth quarter but every shot
they made was countered by Mc
Nair or Bavnor for Plymouth and
in the last four minutes Coach
Jean Dewitt sent in reserves to
give them practice. The Plym
outh girls then pulled away for
the highest score run up against
Williamston this season.
Conversely. Williamston s boys
made their strongest attack in the
final quarter when they put on a
lull-court press and scored 13
points.
With four girls handling all the
scoring, Dolly Wynn and Dannette
Hailey for Williamston and Mc
Nair and Bavnor for Plymouth,
1he score stood 14-ll at the end
of the quarter in favor of Plym
outh. Wynn opened the scoring
with a free shirt after 40 seconds
of play and Bailey followed with
a field goal 20 seconds later. Hall
a minute later McNair dropped in
a goal from her station in front
of the basket hut Bailey countered ;
with one for the Green Wave.
Plymouth then moved ahead on ]
field goals by Baynoi and McNair, j
free shots by the same pair and a
goal by McNair for a 10-5 lead
with halt the quarter gone, Wynn
and McNair matched baskets but
Bavnor hit to make it 14-7 at the
1.4 mark. Two quick baskets by
Bailey as the guards brought the
ball back up court gave Williams
ton a chance to close the gap t"
14-11 at the quarter. Bailey's goal
right at the start of the second
quarter made it 14-13 but Bavnor
and Sarah Everett matched goals
to move it to 16-16 after a minute
and a half. Bailey made a free
shot and McNair a goal. Edna Mi
ddle's set shot at the 2.7 mark cut ]
the margin to 20-lb but Plymouth j
made two quick goals, Wynn one j
and McNair one at the close of j
the half to move the count tri 26
to 20 favor of Plymouth The
Plymouth team held a 39-29 ad

BETTER
COTTON
CROP
lUJimATEft
TREATED
PLANT PROPERLY TREATED COTTONSIKD
The chance for a good stand of cotton with the first planting can be to
creased greatly when seed that has been treated properly with a recom
mended seed disinfectant is planted.
The circles in the picture above illustrate the difference seed treating
may make. Treated seed and seedlings are less apt to euffer from seed
decay, damping-off or sore-shin. _ t
The small cost of treating is unimportant when compared with tha
expense of soil preparation, fertilizers, labor and equipment needed to
produce a good crop. Less than 10c per acre spent for seed protection can
often mean many dollars profit when the crop is brought to tha gin.
For information about treating your seed and th$ name of the cotton
eeed treater nearest you consult your county agricultural agent.?

45-33 but it was apparent the
game was gone for Williamston.
At the 3.4 minute mark Coach De
Witt sent in a new crew at both
forward and guard spots. After
making sure the game was on ice

In contrast to activities around j
some games in the county this I
season which have been cxngacr- j
ated in some out-of-county quar-j
ters, the game here Tuesday night
saw nothing amiss in any respect1
and many fans reported the ab
sence of so much bedlam made the I
games more enjoyable, especially !
to those who were more or less j
neutral. The crowd was a large ;
one and Principal H. V. Parker
bert Harrell, Watson McKeel,
Jack Ross and John Rogers, leav
ing James Coltrain as the only
starter in the game. They held
the Panthers to a 10-7 margin at
the close of the quarter and then
started the second quarter. Ex-1
cept lor a foul shot by Mobley, the
Green Wave failed to score in the
first six minutes cr the second
quarter and Plymouth ran the
count to 26-8. The starters return
ed action and baskets by Ross and
McKeel and a foul shot by Ross
pushed Williamston's count to 13.
Plymouth added three more
points on foul shots to make it
29-13 at the half.
Ross and Mobley hit to cut the
margin to 29-17 in the first min
ute and a half of the third quar

lead at the 5 minute mark when
Bill Allsbrook came in for Ross.
Thirty seconds later Plymouth got
a 20 point lead at 37-17 before
Herbert Harrell made a free shot
and Harrell Everett a goal and
free shot for a 37-21 count. Plym
outh was ahead 42-23 at the third
quarter but scored only three in
the last period as the starters be
gan to tire. Rogers dropped in
two set shots, Ross two, Harrell a
goal and free throw and Zemon a
long set shot to cut the final mar-j
gin to 45-36 after it appeared a
runaway for Plymouth.
Scoring for Williamston were
Ross 9, Harrell and Rogers 7 each,
Everett 4, Mobley 3, and Zemon,
McKeel and Harris 2 each. James
Coltrain played a good defensive
game but failed to score. He was
