Mnsketball is reigning as the
chief sport in the country at this
time of year. This is the game that
thaws more fans and in which
more people actually participate
than other sport. In spite of the
big crowds which attend football
and baseball games, they fail to
top the record oi basketball at
tendance. In our high schools basketball
works in well - especially in rural
schools which are served by buses.
Most of these schools are out in
the Siiring before a baseball
schedule could be played and, due
to our transportation system, ex
pensive equipment, and often
small enrollment, football is not
possible. As well as being the
Winter sport, no game is liked
better by youngsters than basket
ball. It requires speed, strength,
agility, and the best of sportsman
ship. It is an excellent means of
developing youngsters in these de
tails. The game is not one to for
get easily either. We have many
all-star squads throughout our
county and State and of course
the colleges and professionals go
in for the game in a big way.
Local people should lend sup
port to their schools in giving the
students an opportunity to play
and especially help encourage a
good game of basketball.
P. S. Basketball is a good game
for the spectator too.
RESOLUTION
Let's make a resolution to do
something for Kenansville during
19'!6 without expecting to hog the
entire profit.
