Three Games Open County Basketball Tournament Morefiead City Registers Four Weekend Victories Hot Shot Sammy Sparks N. C. State's Case Aces By ROBERT L. MOORE AP Newsfeatures RALEIGH, ? When it comes to top college basketball stars, Ever ette Case, the greying little man who coaches North Carolina State's cage forces, will take Sam my Ranzino. Ranzino is a six-loot, one-inch black - haired Italian American forward from Gary, Ind. who pours in the points for Case's aces. "Ranzino is undoubtedly one of the cleverest ballhandlers and most accurate shots in the game today." Case says, "He has gone the distance for our team iu many games, and he can always be counted on to play his best. "I don't think I've ever seen a better shot, and I'm certain there are very few players in the coun try today who can match his ov erall ability to do almost any thing on the basketball court. "He's a good defensive per former and is an uncanny judge of rebounds which enables him j to gain possession of the ball ov- , er taller opponents. He's a hust- 1 ler from the word 'go'. It isn't any wonder Case raves ; over eagle-eye Sammy. Labled j "The Eye" by his teammates Ran j zino seems to be at his best when ! the opposition is toughest. State's game with San Francis co University is an example. The Dons were 1949 National lnvita tional Tournament champions. Sure. - shot Sammy fired away 17 times from the field. He connec ted on 10. He stepped to the tree throw eight times and made every shot. Sammy's total of 28 eight points was the highest individual score ever tallied against the California team. One of his scaring specialties is a one-arm push shot. But Ran 2ino is more than a scorer. Case quickly explains. He's a play-mak er deluxe. His ball stealing antics keep the customers in an uproar. His twibting, turning dribble has eau^hl more than one opponent off guard and enabled Ranzino to get through the defenders for one of his easy layups. A year ago, Ranzino led the Wolfpack team in scoring with 381 points. At the rate he's go ing this season, he may easily break Captain Dick Dickey's 1948 scoring mark for a North Caro lina State player of 451 points. In fact, he has an eye set on he coming the first North Carolina SAMMY RANZINO Hunts 500 Points scorer since the University of North Carolina's George (ila mack hit the 500 mark. Case, a shrewd judge of basket hall talent, made up his mind three years ago that Ranzino was one of the best players he'd ever seen. : Case selected Ranzino out of nearly i 200 boys who attended one of his | basketball clinics in Indiana in 1947. Now Sammy's a junior. "Ranzino is headed for big things," Case concludes. Pastors (Continued from page one) ning to do extensive work, using the census cards as their guide. Some of the churches are planning a "Fishermen's Club," an evangel istic men's club, or to organize a special visitation program hav ing ministers and laymen visiting together. It is pointed out that this is the system that Jesus used, and it has proved successfuJ in thous ands of churches across America. There were certain difficulties encountered in the census. Work ers untrained, although they did a splendid job. But perhaps be cause 01 the iack of skilled work ers, the figures are not as com plete as they otherwise would be. In most cases when neither mem bership nor specific preference was given, preference was shown on the census as being the same as parents or other members of the home. In the problem of the churches of the Baptist or Methodist faith, it is |K)ssible that some were coun ted by the First Methodist church when they were members of the Franklin Memorial Methodist rhurch and that there were some people in the Missionary Baptist statistics actually belonging to the Primitive Baptist church, etc. Figures in the table include the census taken of the Crab Point section the causeways leading to Beaufort and Atlantic Beach, and the Camp Glenn section. The cen sus is not conclusive for the above mentioned reasons. Tank* Envisioned The census shows the tremend ous task of the church today. Many of our people are unchurch ed. Still others have grown inac tive through the years, Many homes showed no active religious faith at all. Many of our children are not being trained in the Sun day School and church. The Morehead City Ministerial association would like to invite every person to worship in the church of his c)ioice; but to wor ship in some church.
