1 SPORT SLANTS Good Suggestions Someone has suggested that touch football could be introduced in Roxboro this fall to take the place of softball. This person said that it could be played under the same lights and on the same field. Also suggested was the fact that six or eight teams ccould be organized and a real league formed. Touch football is really going over big' 1n colleges and we believe that it would proVe to be a big hit here. How about it Baxter Mangum? Football Time Here Everyone around here is talking about football and everyone is getting thrilled over the coming season. Some pick Carolina to beat Duke and others turn the thing around. All agree that it will be one good game and wonder if they are going to get tickets. Carolina also has another big game this year—with Eordham at Chapel Hill, on October 11. Ticket re quests have been coming in for this game for a long time and right now it looks like a sell-out. Duke’s early game with Tennessee is attracting a lot of attention here. Fans in this section couldn’t well see the game last year, and now they are glad they did n’t, but they intend seeing it this year—if they have to crawl over the fence. This column is betting on Duke and Wade. And then there’s the Roxboro-Bethel Hill game that is always a thriller. See you at the games. “Our Wife” Full Os Good Fun There’s a saucy sparkle to the new Columbia comedy, “Our Wife,” which sets it up in sharp advantageous contrast to pre vious sophisticated comedies. A i motion picture that’s both rowdy and romantic, that's gay and good humored and sharply bitter in its delineation of feminine character, the John M. Stahl production which opens Monday at the Palace theatre belongs well up in any one's list of films worth seeing.

WJ SIDDLE * ■ Managers ered victim, “Our Wife” also is the happy record of a battle roy al between Ruth Huseey and Ellen Drew for romantic posses sion of the unaware Mr Douglas. Ruth pits her brains against El len’s curvacious charms, only to discover it i s n’t intelligence which kindles that certain gleam j in a man’s eyes. Turning then to | the feminine trickery and allure ments employed so successfully by her rival, Ruth manages to place herself in one awkward situation after another, all of them hilarious in their implica tions and their results. —o IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C. Roxboro Ramblers Lose Opening Tilt Locals Staged Magnificient Battle And Fought Until Overcome By Durham Re serves i Roxboro High Ramblers lost a hard fought football game Fri day night to Durham High High by a score of 14-0. The Ramblers put up a splendid battle against the stronger Durham team and drew much praise from those who saw the game. About 300 fans from Roxboro went to Durham to see the bat tle. Rcxboro won the toss and elected to receive from the north end of the field Barnes kicked off for the Bulldogs but the kick was low and strpek a Rambler linesman. “Superman” Kerns re covered -the ball for the Durham team on its own 40-yard line, i Harvey Renn, co-captain and quarterback for the Bulldogs, took the ball on the initial play and swept around his own left end but fumbled the ball after picking up five yards and the pigskin was recovered by Clay ton, quarterback for the opposing Ramblers. Roxboro failed to advance the ball 10 yards in {heir four downs and Clayton punted to George McLeod, who took the ball on the 35 and returned it to the 46. During the rest of the first quar ter, the two teams battled on even terms with neither making much headway. At the beginning of the second quarter Coach Brewbaker sent in Shepherd to replace Morgan, who had started at left tackle. Other changes in the Durham line-up were: Hales in for Sykes at center and Rattelade in for j Jones at end Both teams battled along until the last part of the first half when the Bulldogs, j on repeated line bucks and end runs by the quarter of Bulldog ,i backs, finally got going. Tilley j carried the ball to the one-yard line, from where Renn crashed | over on last down. However, an offside penalty was called against the locals which put the ball back to the six-yard line. ■ Donald Tilley then went over for the first score of the season and Barnes converted to make the score read 7-0 in favor of the Bulldogs.

Neither was able to advance far into enemy territory. Then, with less than six minutes left to play, Tilley swept around right end, reversed his field, cut back again and crossed the line handing up after eluding twb would-be tacklers. Durham set up the scoring play on knifing power plays through the center of the Roxboro forward wall. McLeod converted for the final score of the game. The initial tilt ended five min utes later after Mack Hales, sec ond-string center for the Bull dogs, had intercepted a Roxboro pass and returned the ball to the Rambler 30. For the Ramblers, Day and Clayton were outstanding in the tackfield while Holeman was the maiftspring in the first wall of defense. The line-ups: ’ Pos. Roxboro Durham LE Mitchell E.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1941 happy telephone operator, Ginger becomes engaged to three men at the same time. They are George Murphy as Tom, high powered automobile salesman; Alan Marshall as Dick, a rich man’s son; and Burgess Meredith as Harry, happy-go-lucky garage mechanic. Unable to choose between them, Ginger visualizes married life with each of them before making her decision and the au dience views her fantastic mus ings. Her imagination runs wild as she metally pictures what mar ried life with each of her boy friends would be like. These pic tures are colored and exagger ated and occasionally a vagrant incongruity creeps in but they will arouse a sympathetic under standing in all who see them.
