SPORTS BY RONALD KISER Girls Among Ten Conference North Brook’s girls are expect ed to be involved in * three-way title fight in the girls’ division of the Little Ten Conference this time. The two times Little Ten champion will encounter keen competition from Lowell and Union. Lowell, in fact, has been classed in the favorites’ role. GAYLE WALDROP, Lowell Gayle Waldrop, a high-scoring forward, is the ^reason Miss Irene Waldrop’s outfit' is picked to walk off with the Little Ten title. Wal drop tallied veil over 400 points lastseason, ;5u0 the previous cam paign. Waldrop and mates drop ped a five-point decision to the North Brookers last season at North Brook. Helen Morrison, Lissy Sain, Joyce Keep, Janice Baxter, Peg gy Warren, Peggy Boyles, and Jean Canipe are the hot-shots at North Brook where a Norris Chil dress-coached machine hasn’t dropped a home game since mid season of 1045. Childress' teams havo copped two Little Ten title's in a row' but have been beaten in the finals of the loop tournament both times by Stanley. M'-s. O. L. Kiser, who has guid ed the Stanley club to these two tourney final wins over vorth Brook, has only Charlotte Hoyle, a guard-forward, returning to this season’s outfit Union, mentored by Mrs. Mary Bowman, counts heavily upon Shirley Morgan for their offensive punch. A deadly "hook” shot art ist, Morgan has played brilliant ball for the up-and-coming Union laeeitM for the past two cam paigns. Iu the boys’ bracket, Lowell is once again classed as the favored five Last season’s title winners, Jerry Rice has turned up with another great club. Lanky Joe Ladd, a towering pivot operator, ia the best prospect turned out by the Little Ten in some time. Ladd, a senior, is winding up a brilliant career at Lowell, has reported to have already sewed up a scholar ship to North Carolina State. The Tryor. boys have but three vets on hand Missing through graduation channels are Hugh Kiser, Mack Harmon, and Frank Fortenberry. Coach Robert Mor rison is counting upon Reeves Lynn, a O' 200 pound center, to carry the brunt of the attack this time. The Tryon gym will be ready for use this season. The losses of footballer Ken Metzger, Jimmy Matthews, and Ken. Forrester are seemily too great for the Bessemer City out fit, coached by Ken Boat. The Bes semer five will have John Wilson, Harold Fletcher, Harold Rayfield, Cecil Shope, and Diz Coon in the starting: lineup most of the sea son. ; Dick Thompson’s Stanley outfit. Jack Huss’ Cramer ton crew, and Rock Springs are also expected to turn up with great teams with of course North Brook helping Bes semer and Tryon bring up the rear. Evan Shelton will once again this season handle the North Brookars. • LITTLE TEN SCHEDULE December 10 North Brook at Rock Sprint' Union at Bessemer City Cramerton at Stanley I Lowell at Dallas December 14 Tryou at North Brook Mt Holly at Stanley Bessemer City at Lowell Dallas at Cramerton December 17 Cramerton at North Brook Bessemer City at Dallas iMIt.

Girls Lose, Boys Win In Split * With North Brook Cage Squads Three records were broken last Friday .night as the Cherryville and North Brook .basketball teams opened the 1954-55 season by splitting a doubleheader. The powerful North Brook girls coast ed to victory in the first game with the local boys doing likewise in the nightcap. Norris Childers’ defending Lit tle Ten champion North Brook girls broke a single-game scoring mark for the local gym by scor ing 107 points in the opener with star forward Helen Morrison registering 57 points, another record-shattering total. Cherry ville got into the record-breaking act, too, as Emmett Feimeter’s crew ripped the cords for 95 points in the nightcap. That total smashed a long-standing total. George Neel’s local lassies stayed close fo rthe first four min utes in which the score was tied twice and the lead changed hands four times, but with Morrison and cohort- hitting with regular ity, the visitors began to pull uwhv. North Brook held a 26-14 first quarter advantage. The score at the end of the third period Morrison bagged a grand total 'of 5.7 points on 21 field goals and nine free throws. Lissy Sain add ed 22 markers for the winners with 17 North Brookers getting into the lineup. Harriett© Seal ami Arisen Beal paced the locals with 20 points each with Martha ! Sue Hayes getting the other 11 , markers of the 51 point total Glenna Dellinger of Cherryville , and North Brook’s Peggy Boyles were outstanding fin-defense. The i 1 locals were without the services of Judy Hovis, one of the front , line forwards. Hovis was held out I of the lineup on account of sick Four In Double Figure* | Four of Feimster’s lads hit in the double figures catagory as the locals took a quick lead again-t the inexperienced North Brook five and stayed in command all the way. The first period ended with the Ironmen leading 26-10. Halftime -core was 48-23. Ronald Turner paced the win ners with 20 points. 17 of them ir. the first half, with Seyborn Crocker, T. L. Sain, and Dick Mautiey close behind with 18, 17, and 16 points, respectively. Dan | Ginn. Tom Wilson, Bobby Auste 1, ' Mike AUran, Winston Mlorrison, Charles Dellinger, Bobby Dell jnger and Roy Daggerhart also played fine ball for the Feimster coached fice with only Allran and Daggerhart failing to score. Harold Hull was North Brook’s chief offensive weapon with 16 markers. Cherryville took 66 shots from the floor, hit on 3|7 for 53 percent accuracy. They were true on 21 of 3S free throw attempts as four Bluejays fouled out of the con test. North Brook is away from home all this week in Little Ten play, returning home on Tuesday night, Dec. 14 to battle Tryon. The girls’ game there should "be something. The Tryon lassies have shown surprising strength in polishing off Union and upsetting favored Lowell. North Brook was slated la-t night at Mt. Holly, travels to Rock Springs Friday. Neel and Feimster took their charges to Valdese last night, re turn to the local gym for a pair of scraps with Barium Springs of the South Piemont Conference Friday with the girls' test again scheduled for 7 o’clock.

The department expects to pro duce and distribute about 20 mil lion seedlings this season as com pared with the record 16-million plus grown and sold during the 1953-53 season, Director Ben E Douglas said. “It is most encouraging to note the increasing interest in growing trees as a cash crop,” Douglas added “We hope there will be at least two trees planted for every one cut down. Landowners are realizing there is money to be made in trees.” \s the seedling shipments to : 'dividual landowners began, S'ate Forester Fred Claridge said “theie are indications the 20 mil ■nr -eediings we expect to pro ■ye-e this season may not be Hough to supply the growing de mand.” Douglas and Claridge urged all persons planning to plant trees to gpt their orders in as quickly as possible. Seedling applications may be made to the State Forest er's office, Education Building, Raleigh, or to any district fores ter, county ranger, or county agent. Orders wil' ye filled a-- re ceived. Claridge said the supply of slash pine seedlings for the 1954-55 planting season is already sold. More than three million of this -p -ies ' grown this year. The C&D Department officials said the State's third tree nursery which is located on Little River about three miles west of Golds t oro. v-ill produce about four mil lion this season to add to the ap proximate 16 million seedlings being grown at the older nurseries loeatpd near Clayton and Hender sonville. The Goldsboro nursery, which is producing seedling this year for the first time, is expect ed to have an ultimate capacity of 25 million when it gets into full production. Of the 13 million seedlings sold to date .approximately four mil lion were purchased by furniture and paper and pulp companies in the State for free distribution to FFA, 4-H Clubs, school forests, and to selected adult farmers, Claridge said. v.
