HWANIS-ROTARY GAME CROWDED WITH MUCH FUN Atkinson Did Not Recover Wind for Two Days and Gene Thompson Used Boys for Mules E. E. Bradsher Changed His Mind Some sidelights on the Rotary- Kiwanis basketball game that was played two weeks ago tomorrow will probably prove to be very in teresting. The score of the game 24-12 in favor of the Kiwanaans was only a minor detail. Curtis Oakley was playing ball with two heels blistered. Curtis, had been practising only a few days prior to the game and his heels couldn’t stand the punishment. He used about five yards of tape on these heels before the game. Ed Atkinson had not been on a basketball cjourt in ten yeaijs. IH was two days after the game be fore he recovered his wind and he didn’t sleep at all the night he played. Cris Waggoner, playing for the first time in his life, thought that you could run with the ball. He tried to make a touchdown the first time he caught the ball. Gene Thompson stayed on the backs of all the Kiwanis players. He played so rough that Kiwanian Thaxton, coach of the winners, sent Sam Winstead into the game to get rid of Thomnson. ' Marcus Lawrence bad juSt re turned from a big supper in the Olive Hill section and was afraid that his supper had not complete ly settled. Phil Thomas wanted to play standing forward so that he would not have to do any running. E. E. Bradsher carried his bas ketball shoes to the game, but re fused to play after he looked at the boys for a short time. —o “Cookery is become an art, a noble science.” flersonMmes PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY, ROXBORO, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1937 USE PERSON COUNTY PRODUCTS NUMBER THIRTY-THREE Kiwianis Club Entertains Sixteen Children The Roxboro Kiwanis Club had as its guests last Monday, sixteen children from this county who* had been fitted with glasses by this club. .
