/Oil PERSON 't-^SLANTS By THOMAS J. SHAW, JR. i . One Way To Produce ; The other day we went to a public school social function given by the parents of the children. We say parents, but really we are not being quite honest when we say that, for the better part of the “parents” there were the women-folks. This observation in itself has such a commonplace air that few will pause to consider it. Tradition has made the “tradition of female participation” in school affairs so accep table that it is not often remarked upon. “And so what, say you, is this doing in the sports column?” Here is the connection. Later on in the same evening we were talking to Coach George Wirtz, of the Roxboro high school. Talking, as was natural about athletics, and football in particular, we got around to the question of school spirit. Also mentioned was the invaluable aid of loyal town and county support for high school athletic events. Coach Wirtz, who had been one of the scarce men at the afore-mentioned school social function, remarked that boys and girls naturally react to the proportion of athletic inter est demonstrated by their parents. He said he was grateful for the manifestation of enthusiasm shown by parents in Roxboro, which, by the way has been considerable and much more than is commonly exhibited by older citizens of either 66X. And, here is the “Sports-Slants additional thought: if only the women, God bless ’em, would increase their inter ested and active support of the games in which their sons and daughters participate, there would be no particular prob lem in connection with athletic programs and school .spirit. Directed toward athletics, spectator point-of-view or other wise, a woman’s power can be felt. In other directions it moves, it gets things done. So, why not? The men are always supporters of athletics, or else they pretend they are, out of a sort of sense of shame because drive and drive for an idea or an ideal as women can. On the drive and drive for a nidea or an ideal as women can. On the local football field the girls constitute an active cheering section, but some of them growing older, as wives and moth ers, tend to “water their athletic spirit down”, and because they do, the public school athletic program frequently suf fers a moral decline. John and Mary and Jane and Sam, to use only hypothe tical names, would be r greatly heartened on the playing field if they knew ‘Mother’ or ‘Aunt Something-or-Other’ was watching them play. o—o—o—o The Way It Is Now Before we were finished talking with Coach Wirtz he happened to mention the fact that the Roxboro Ramblers ha\e no game scheduled for Friday of this week. Any team anxious to take one on with the Ramblers, ought to be in terested. Mr. Wirtz said he did not know why this break in the fall program had not been filled before now, but regard less of what happens at Hillsboro Friday he and his boys tetand ready to take on a nice strong team. And, now. maybe fve will start thinking about the college football games of yesterday. It is a ready topic anywhere, anytime, but we pro mise nos to fill out this Sunday space with our thoughts there on. Person A. C. A.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1939 Ramblers Fight Hard For 14-12 Victory At Hillsboro Winning from Hillsboro high school by a score of 14 to 12 the Roxboro Ramblers Friday after, noon lost their unscored on re cord for this season, but they put up an excellent fight against the rough opponents. The local gridsters still have a fine record which they are hold ing out to, even if they have been scored on, and that is only eight first downs have been made agaicst them during the entire season. The Rambler line is not very heavy but all contain drive and plenty of speed. In Friday’s encounter, both teams scored a couple of markers during the first half, which put them in a 12-12 deadlock at half time, but in the third quarter, the Ramblers, with new moral sup port from Coach Wirtz, plowed through the Hillsboro lads. On one of Hillsboro’s attempts to kick from behind their own strip es, the punt was blocked and although they recovered, it was in the end zone, giving two points the locals, which cinched the game. Red Day, Charles White and Hasell Whitfield played outstand ball the entire time. Touchdowns for theßamblers were made as follows: Day go ing through the center of the Millsboro line, standing up, for 16 yards, to make the first, DOLLY MADISON THEATRE Monday - Tuesday, Oct. 23-24 I £ | A NEW STAR IN | * Robert *Non CUMMINGS • GREY ‘GLORIA JEAN WHwmr WITH H ★ BEULAH BONDI I A VIRGINIA WEIDLER I I ★ MARGARET LINDSAY 1 LA C AUDREY SMITH | A JOE PASTERNAK 1 PRODUCTION mm Origin*,l story by I.
