Among the thirty who have been turning out for practice this week are both line and backfeld candidates including a few return ing vets from last year’s squad and a number of new prospects, some of whom show plenty of promise. A number ot the boys are not able to make both practice ses sions yet and some of the back- field candidates are away on a Raleigh trip with the Boys Club baseball team, but by the end of next week football should be in high gear at the local school. Among the boys competing for line positions are Larry Waldrop, Gene Hendrix, Dink McManus, Charles Loftin. and Johnny Wike, working for the two guard posi tions; tackle candidates Joe Huff- stetler, Robert Lee, and Merlin Brown; center Paul Dunn; end candidates Dicky Carpenter, John Robinson, Martin Holloway, and P .L. Black, and others. • With most of the backfield not through with basebaU and able to concentrate on football yet, Coach Herbert Hipps is working with candidates Ted Waldrop and Law ing at taUback; Reuben Waldrop at fullback; and Bennett Kiestler at wing back. More boys will be out for backfield practice next Monday. Coach Beam is working with the linesmen this season while Coach Hipps handles the Mck- field and between toe concentrat - ed attention of the two coaches, the team is roughing into a sem- blenc of a squad already. The Hawks did not enjoy a too succes sful season last year, playing foot- bal that alternated from exceUent to poor in the course of a single game and this year’s squad is be ginning to look a lot better in comparison. Horseplay is at a minimum with work on blocking, teckling. and backfield kinks re ceiving aU toe attention of toe boys. Late yesterday afternoon Wood-, row Jones, the Congressman-elect of this district from Rutherford- ton, accepted an invitation to ad dress toe Banquet of the Junior Chamber of Commerce on Mon day night, Augi^ 28th. Peter N. Chagaris, chairman of the banquet committee, made toe annoimce- ment to The News. Mr. Chagaris stated that the banquet was part of the Durene Festival Week*of activities and that only 200 tickets wiU be sold. These tickets can Ge secured from J. C. Rhyne, presi dent of the chib, Ken Davis, chair man of the Durene Festival Com mittee, Peter N. Chagaris or any memb^ of the Jaycee’s. Mr. Jones will bring a message of grept interest and since there can be only 200 persons accomo dated at toe banquet it is neces sary for those wiAing to attend to purchase their tickets at pnee. Since the. announcement was made that Congressman-elect Jones would speak here there have been more than a fourth of the tic^ts already purchased. Tliis is an indication that the ca pacity will be sold mt quickly. This banquet will turn out to be one of the highlights of the big Durene Festival Week here. An outstanding program of events ' is being worked up and all thoee who attend will most assuredly enjoy this get-together. Mr. Jones will be pleased to meet his old friends here and also to make new ones. He told The News that he considered it an honor to be toe principal speaker at this occasion and that the local Durene Festival was well known throughout the Western,North Carolina. MONDAY VZSrrOR A. A. Wilson of Belmont was a visitor in Moimt HoUy Monday. Mr. Wilson it a retired school teacher, and has taught at Moore’s Chapel and several other places near here. He visited aevcral of his former pupils here. UUl XUiy Davis, Jean Rhyne, Rachel Kirk- sey, and Faye Abernathy. Both Riverbend teams have been on the winning end of sev eral games, including games that were played against the Buck Steam Station last week.
