SLANTS By J S. MEKKITT o—o—o—o We Picked On Friday Carolina over State;; Duke over Colgate: Virginia o7ei V. M. I.; Ga. Tech over Vanderbilt; Wake Forest over Mai shall; W. and L. over Richmond; Ohio over Furman: Tenn over Alabama; Howard over Army, etc. . Your pick is as good as any and this column would b. glad to publish a few selections that fans around here migL make. It will not cost you anything and it will be a lof fun. , o*o*o*o*o*o*o*o What Will The Draft Do? Many people have been wondering about the draft as i 1 concerns football and basketball players. We do not thin! that the draft will bother boys who have not completed then education and a majority of the league baseball players ai married. Therefore that means that the sports program should not be bothered much by the draft —yet. Anyway you take it the athletic program of this world will continue to go ahead. America must have its fun in spite of a war-like world. And that’s a good idea. o—o— o o Athletic Club Organized A group of business men in this city have organized an athletic club. This group is composed of men who are a little too old to play football, but they do like to get some exercise. If yo uare interested in joining you can see Mr. Wilson at the Western Auto Store or Ray Jackson at Electric Appli ance. Dues are only one dollar. Right now the boys are playing basket ball- Later on they plan to do some boxing and will play softball next sum mer. 0 * 0 * 0 * 0 *o*ow 0 * 0 w 0 * 0 What’s Wrong, Durham? Frank Lane, chief of the minor league farms of the Cin cinnati Reds, said tonight that the question of dropping Dur ham. N. C. as a farm would be determined at a meeting or Piedmont League directors at Richmond, Va-, Sunday. Lane said Fred Fleig would represent the Reds at the meeting- People in Roxboro would certainly hate to see Durham lose its baseball team. The Bulls have many suppoiffcrs in Roxboro who go to Durham to see games and they warn to continue to see these games. However, we have an idea that Durham supporters will come through and see to it that the Bulls play again next year. '.ively action shots, like this, are taboo for the slow lens—hut * lens and fast shutter get them easily IF YOU have a fine, fast lens on * yonr camera, it’s something like having a motor of ample power in your automobile. The reserve ca pacity is there when you need it — lor emergencies, unusual situations, sudden traffic problems, steep grades and bigger hills. There are two “hills” in photog raphy. One is fast action. The other is adverse lighting—shade on your subject, dull cloudy days, weak light in extreme late after noon, and some after-dark subjects. The fast lens —always fitted to a shutter of excellent speed—takes care of you on both these hills. , Os course, If you stick to sub jects that will stand still in bright sunshine, the slow lens is all right. Millions of fine snapshots are taken With slow speed lenses every year —and when you’re careful to choose suitable subjects and lighting con ditions, good results are certain. But —who is willing to stick to “motionless” subjects? How about the baby, who is best for pictures when baits rih a hvely mood? How about the pets? iiav,’i skipping rope or Bill at Ik. kcl ball practice, sledding, or skating? How about parades—games on your picnics or outings—and natural, unposed shots of friends? No; for all-around use, and really good pic tures, a fast lens is the nresc;’ -- tion. And I, for one, believe t quickly pays for itsel f in snapshot Satisfaction. Some amateurs think ids hard- r to use a fast lens, but that isn’t really true. For ordinary shots, :st the lens at f/11, use a shutter speed of 1/25 second, and save the focus at 15, 20, or 25 feet. When light is weak, or when you're using a high shutter speed to “stop” fast motion, just use a larger opening, and set the focus for the distance from camera to subject. For better pictures—wider sub ject range—more safety and peace of mind in shooting subjects that may move —a fast lens and last shutter are the thing. You’ll real ize that the very first time you use them. • ! ■>. > John tftn Guilder SPORTS OFJLHE TIMES Up-to-the-Minute Sport News Solicited - 1940 Holeman, Day, Woods, Whitfield Take Honors In District Victory Roxboro high school Ramblers under Coach George Wirtz con tinued their winning streak Fri day afternoon by defeating a strong aggregation from Hills boro by a score of 32 to 6 on the Roxboro field. This conference tilt was the one deciding the Class B confer ence championship and the Ramb lers did a fine piece of work in easily taking the visitors. After this win and the defeat of Cary last Friday week, their district opponents, Roxboro will n November 15 go to Raleigh foi <emi-final play. At the first of Friday game the locals took an offensive step and kept it up during the encounter. The first quarter started the scor ing spree and on a long pass from Lewis (Red) Day, that promising field general, to Co-captain Law rence (Gus) Holeman, towering ; right end, the first tally came. ' The pass was good for about 40 I yards. Henry Newell, Rambler blocking back, who should get state rccoginition for his fine play in this and all other games, carried the ball over on a line play for the extra point. Henry I is the man all Roxboro backs want paving the way for them, and he does it splendidly. Second touchdown came on an other long pass from Day to Hole man and the extra point came in the same way, from Red to Gus. Then Hillsboro’s quarterback, Roberts, took a lateral on the kickoff and ran 80 yards for the visitors lone score. This was the longest run of the contest. During the second stanza onl> one marker was made, Tom Hill Clayton, local wingback, on a re verse, ran for about 20 yards ar.d then a score. Red Day, in the third and fourth quarters, went over for 12 more points and thus the game ended with Roxborc a decidedly better club. In dishing out individual hon ors it would be difficult to pick any one man, as the entire team played wonderfully well, but spec ial mention should go to Milo Dixon, Rambler back, for the fine spirit exhibited by him and his powerful drives during the entire afternoon. Also to that big j 265-pound tackle, Lindsay Wag— staff, who played a whale of ai game in the line on both offense and defense. Other prominent line men were Gus Holeman, co captain and end who accounted "or two touchdowns and one ex tra point. His ability to go down on punts is also to his credit. Now for Fred Woods, co-captain and guard, who with his powerful nartner, Hassell Whitfield, tack '.e, was always able to make ( holes in the line that were large enough for any back to go ‘hrough. And on defense, they also made holes and on several occasions threw the Hillsboro hacks for great losses. Bill (Sweetpea) Newell, guard, and Sam Umstead, center, were also there doing their part on. both offense and defense. Coach Wirtz said that in the game Friday Red Day did one of the best pieces of work as a quar terback he’s ever seen in high| school play. Favorable comment also came from Dan Hill and Ro ger Robinson, offcials of the game from the Duke university coach ing staff.
