Coach Horace Hendrickson
Has Reason To Smile Now
Elon College, January 20
When Coach Horace Hendrickson
Jooks at the prospects for his Elon
College basketball team two or
three years from now, he almost
has to smile to himself. Out of
the entire squad of 30 men which
takes part in practices, there is
Only one senior and two juniors.
The remainder are divided be
tween sophomores and freshmen,
jwith the majority freshmen.
The former Duke University
star smiles all the more when he
takes a look at his starting line
up. Two freshmen, one sopho
ynore, one junior and one senior
Composes the first five. A fresh
jnan is sixth man, a sophomore
peventh, and freshmen practical
ly all the rest of the way down.
Ike Fesmire, captain and for
ward, of Greensboro, N. C., is
the only senior. Lloyd Whitley,
forward, of High Point, N. C., is
the only junior who plays regul
arly, although Charlie Blue of
Carthage may break in some con
tests. John Henry Pearce, lanky
forward and center, of Suffolk,
Va., is tiie only sophomore on the
first team. Garland Causey, for
ward, of High Point, and Claude
Lawrence of Mt Airy, are about
file only two sophomores who
Stand a chance of getting in con
test anytime soon.
The bright spot of the cam
paign to date, although it has
revealed that the Christians are
probably not as strong as last
pear’s North State conference
champions, has been the perform
ance of the two freshmen, Lin
coln Manzi of Wayne, Pa., and
Jade Gardner of Portsmouth,
Ohio, both of whom are playing
regularly as guards. They have
shown that they can handle the

ball, and the little Manzi, despite
his lack of height, is one of the
best defensive men on the team.
' Lackie Flythe of Conway, a
brother of Stuart Flythe, the for
mer N. C. State College star wKo
made all-Southern honors, is pro
bably sixth man. He has height
and the ability to handle the ball
and appears to be one of the
coming stars of the team. Anoth
er first year man who has shown
up well is W. L. Hobson of Ram
seur. Bill McGee of Germanton,
Roy Sprinkle of Arlington, Va.,
and one or two more freshmen
on the squad have looked good
at times.
More than likely all these boys
will not turn out to be stars, but
there are several in the bunch
whom Coach Hendrickson re
gards as sure fire hits. Possibly
that is the reason he smiles.

Overflow Crowd May See
Louis - Lewis Fight Jan. 25
Ticket Sale Unusually
Brisk, Jacobs Reports; Joe
Is Heavy Favorite.
New York Tickets for the
Joe Louis - John Henry Lewis
championship fight at the Garden
Wednesday night are, on the
word of Promoter Mike Jacobs,
selling so fast that Mike is be
ginning to suspect that he should
have waited and staged the thing
outdoors. He says it loks like it
might overflow the Garden.
If Mike is anywhere near right
about it, this is a nice tribute
that the customers are paying
to a couple of Negro boys who
have been close friends and ad
mirers of each other’s boxing
ability for several years. When
the match was first announced
there were many capable obser
vers who thought maybe Mike
had at last fumbled one.
Even if Joe and John Henry
had been sworn enemies it still
would have loked like a gamble,
for there never before had been
a heavyweight championship
fight between Negroes in this
country. But Joe and John Hen
ry admitted from the start that
they were friends, and they have
stuck doggedly to their mutual
regard all through the weeks of
training.
Joe won’t even talk as mean as
he did before his last fight with
Max Schmeling. He admitted he
didn’t like the German and in
sisted he would knock him kick
ing in the first round, which he
did. All he’ll say now is that he
intends to “whup” John Henry,
which he probably will.
Neither is John Henry doing
any fancy talking. Possibly he is
just being smart in not getting
the champion unnecessary arous
ed, but has not once referred to
Joe as “that bum” or threatened
to knock him right into the laps
of his co-managers, John Rox
borough and Julian Black. All
John Henry claims is that he has
an even chance of licking Joe,
which is more than he thinks
some of Joe’s other recent oppon
ents had.
Nevertheless, the fans have
been buying tickets in increasing.

RUTH BARRIER
TOCOMEDOWN
J i
Screen Was Erected In
Brown’s Park To Cut Down
Babe’s Home Run Output.
St. Louis Stretched in front
of the right-field pavilion at
Sportsman’s park is a screen that
stands as a reminder of the Babe
Ruth era and now it may come
down.
The barrier was erected about
a dozen years ago during the hey
day of the mighty bambino, who
used to pop home runs into the
IpaVilion lil|e rain drops on a
tin roof.
The screen covers the pavilion
from the top of the wall to the
roof and reaches from the right
field foul line to deep center. Bat
ters who hit the wire get as many
bases as they can, the ball being
in play after it caroms off.
The first day the New York
Yankees came to town, after the
screen had been erected, Ruth
smashed two vicious drives a
gainst it. He ranted and regaled
the patrons with gestures to in
dicate his displeasure at being
“robbed” of home runs. It “rob
bed” him of many more before
his career was over.
Wilton Gains Win
Over Bethel Hill
The Wilton high basketball
team defeated the Bethel wm
quint Wednesday on the Wilton
court by the score of 43 to 19 in
a fast and spectacular game.
Wilton spurted to an early lead
and kept ahead throughout the
game. Coach Hicks used his entire
squad during the game, taking
advantage of the 22 to 8 lead at
the half.
Averett, the sharp-shooting
center, was the main cog in the
Wilton attack. He garnered 20
points, while Floyd, second high
est, tallied 11 points. Thompson,
got eight points.
Bethel Hill’s highest scorer wan
Riley with six points.
Prior to the boys’ game, the
Wilton girls lost to the Bethel
Hill girls by the score of SO to
