* Tfc slants Bv i S. MERRITT | o—o—o—o 1 Will Howl Big At State Roxboro and Person county is a mighty lucky place when you start thinking along the sports line. Like few oth sr counties in this state, we have prominent athletes at most of the leading colleges around. For instance, look what we are sending to N. C. State college for varsity play this fall: Earl (Big Jim) Stewart, Jr. and Woodrow (Woody) Jones- These boys are both juniors at the institution and are exper ienced in varsity competition, having played quite a bit dur ing their sophomore years. Earl is the man who scored that lone touchdown against the Clemson Tigers last year and also carried the ball to give the Demon Deacons their great est scare at Riddick stadium last fall. He is now weighing around 200 and is very shifty and fast. Woody, a powerful tackle now weighing 200, is not a man to gai nheadlines but is truly essential in every play. While engaged in combat it is easy to tell what kind of work he is doing from the ac counts that come in while an announcer is describing a play. Both defense and offense are specialties with him. During the coming football season our hope is that Coach William (Doc) Newton only realizes what strength is in these two boys. That’s all that’s necessary for them to make good showings 0 —O—O o Good While It Lasted Well, softball for 1940 is about over and only a few peo ple in this section know such a thing has been going on. Before the season was over competition became very keen and that’s what makes any sport, even mumble-peg. When a softball pitcher gets to the place where he can strike out ten men a game, he’s good. That s what some of our locals could do and yet, it is generally thought that softball is only child’s play. Stop taking things for granted and get in a little personal observation when they star the sport next spring. After you see a couple you’ll want to play. The exer cise would help many of prominent business men who have gained a little weight while laboring at their desks. RUMANIA PREPARED TO GIVE UP MORE TERRITORY Sofia, Bulgaria—Rumania has agreed to surrender all of her southern Doburudja territory to Bulgaria in the same manner that she submitted to the Rome-Berl in formula for the cession of one half of Tr sf sylvania to Hungary, it was reported reliably early to day.

(\ Rumanian-Bulgarian negotations have been underway, said that the Bulgarian occupation of Do brudja probably will occur sim ultaneously with Hungary's mili tary occupation of Transylvania territory. The cession of- southern Dob rudja to Bulgaria, involving a bout 5,000 square miles and a bout 360,000 people, virtually will restore the frontier as it existed in 1912 before the second Balkan War.
