All Conference Teams Chavis Picked For Defense ? Hoke High senior Terry Chavis led the voting at the defensive tackle position as the all conference football team was selected Nov. 22. Chavis, five-ten, 230 lbs., was the rock of the Buck front line and also played considerably on offense. His defensive talents were recognized by every coach in the conference, as his name was on each ballot. Chavis follows former Buck Ernest Pecora, who made the select squad last year. Ten of Chavis' teammates made honorable mention. They were: seniors Mike McBryde and David Holland, in the offensive line; Kenny Morris at defensive end; juniors Mark Wood, kicker, and Jan Mansfield at defensive end. Five sophomores made honorable mention. They were: Calvin McGil vary, defensive line and offensive halfback; Jeremey Simmons and Larry Flowers in the secondary; and David Home and James Hen derson at linebacker. The Scots of Scotland Co. led the way with eight selections, followed by Lee Co. with six. With the exception of junior end Loyd Black of Lee Co., the all conference offensive team is made up entirely of seniors.

They are still some good starting times available for the Two-Man Better Ball Golf Tournament which will consist of teams of men, women, or mixed groups. Entry fee is $12 per person (tax deducti ble) including greens fee. cart and prizes in each division. Jim Boros, PGA Pro at the Mid - Pines Club is scheduling tee times (692-2114, ext. 249).

BI Bowling Scratchers Ahead By La Dmris McNeill The Scratchers. who once seemed to be giving up First place, extended their lead once more, not giving up after tough battles. Under-Hill-Gang gave them little trouble. The Scratchers had only two soldiers to defeat, so without any complications, they took four victories. Lucille McNeill and Valencia Bease both scratched a 147 game. With big efforts, Lonzell Kelly had a 190, while brother Alexander shared a 193. The Spare Getters and the Rookies broke even, two-two. Be fore the season is all over, some thing tells me that Charlotte Kelly, who has been giving Spare Getters a lot of assistance, will see a 200 game. With her great effort and fine ability, they passed in a high 188 game and a dominant 468 series. List Your Real Estate FOR SALE with Graham A. Monroe ?t 203 Harris A*#., Phont No. 175-2186 Mamie saw a 142; Thomas O'Ham had another 200 game, with a 549 series. As for the Rookies. Pernell Kelly rooked on a 189 game. The two victories kept the Rookies in third place. For two consecutive weeks the Floaters haven't been able to float. Although individually speaking. Maxine Holmes managed to float on a 168 game and Artis Gay. a 175. it just wasn't enough to bring the whole team to the top. Last week letting them down was Three and One. who hadn't seen a winning night like that in a long time. George McKoy came up somehow with a 178, while Robert McNeill let go a 171 . Holly Davis Plus Two and Halk secalken thought it would only be fair to bowl three-on-three and split games, two-two. For Halksecalken, Sli Glines bowled a high 186. As for Holly Davis, they kept everything at a level in order to stay in the race.

TVildtfy^ X/?tie?d By Jim Dean We drove west through a lum inous corridor of orange, gold and scarlet. Leaves drifted past post card settings of villages, farms and country churches, their white spires climbing into a cloudless sky. Occasionally we talked, but mostly we watched, wrapped in our own thoughts. Aluminum tubes holding our fly rods lay across the gear in the back seat, rattling gently and reminding me from time to time of the bright streams and the wild brown trout that lay ahead. It was time to harvest memories for the long winter. In a few weeks, the trees would be bare and clouds would be permanently draped on the mountains like wet flannel. "I miss it already," I said, breaking a long silence. "What's that?" said Tom. "All this," I said motioning out the window, "and the trout fishing this time of year. It's so good, yet it's so fragile. One day, you're in .the peak o?<autumn an? tjje next day it's mi<f<Mtiter." "Yeah, I've often thought that the good Lord should have made three Aprils, three Mays, three Octobers and three Novembers and said the heck with the rest of it," said Tom. "Maybe, but we'd probably get bored with it," I said. "After all, that would be like having Christ mas once a week for 52 straight weeks. Everytime you turned around Santa Claus would be coming down the chimney with a bound." "You're right," sighed Tom. "After about three weeks, I'd probably cut the jolly old elfs throat." We turned off the main road and climbed through the foothills into the mountains. That evening, it rained and the creek was high when we reached the foot of the long trail the following morning. "It's going to be good," said Tom as we began to rig up our rods. "The water is up for the first time in weeks, and it's a little bit dingy. We couldn't ask for better conditions." We decided to fish about 200 yards apart, leap-frogging as we went upstream. I caught several trout, but everytime I looked up, I could see that Tom was either fighting, unhooking or releasing a trout. I finally quit and went upstream to see what he was doing different ly. "Okay, I give up," I said. "How are you fishing?" N C WtMlif* Rnoufcti Commiaton "I started off with a Wulff Royal, but I only caught a few so I switched to a small muddler min now fished wet," said Tom. "They're chewing it up." I had rarely had good luck with muddlers ? which are tied with deer hair and can be fished dry like grasshoppers or wet like a minnow -- but lots of other fishermen sweat by them. I tied one on, and it was just as Tom had said. It was like tossing a candy bar into a day care center. For two days, we had memorable fishing using a variety of techniques (though muddlers and a deer hair bodied dry fly called an Irresistible worked best). Then suddenly, the weather turned raw. We packed and left, haunted by the knowledge that it would be five months before the favored month of April arrived. "Stop looking so disappointed," chided Tom on the way back. "Remember, you said on the way Up That the changing seasons keep us from getting bored." "Yes, I know," I said. "It's a magnificent plan on paper, but it sure hurts when it's applied." ?.
