SPORTS SLANT Bowling Starts December 15th ] Those who are supposed to know say that the new bowling parlor for Roxboro will be ready by December 15th. This makes it fine because a lot of people will want to pass away a few hours during the Christmas holi days engaging in a worthwhile sport. After looking over the new bowling place and the alleys, we are satisfied that the one we will have here will be second to none in these parts and on top of that it will cater to ladies in a big way. If you don’t bowl now, you might as well get ready to start —cause it looks like its going to be fashionable. Wade Says Just for the record, Wallace Wade did refuse to shake hands with Doyle Nave after ’the Duke-U. S. C. Rose Bowl game of 1939, but he says he had his reasons “I was fighting my way through the dressing room to congratulate Howard Jones, and if I had been photo graphed with Nave, such a picture would have implied I Considered him the best player on the Trojan team. I most emphatically did not think him the best. And when I said I had seen enough of him for one afternoon, I meant it as a compliment. After all, I smiled, when I said that.” There’s been a lot of talk about Wade and Nave. Naturally this writer thinks that Wade was right. He is too big a man to refuse to shake hands with anyone and he has seen enough football games won and lost to get mad with any player on the opposing team. TOP WEIGHT FOR WHIRLAWAY SEEN j Santa Anita Race Slated March 7. LOS ANGELES, Dec. s.—War ren Wright’s Whirlaway may be asked to shoulder top weight of 128 pounds—the highest for a four-year-old in the history of the event —when the SIOO,OOO Santa Anita Handicap is run March 7. Whirlaway, as expected, domi nated a record breaking field of 111 candidates nominated for the eighth running of the rich race. Speculation turned today on the all-important matter of weights, to be announced Dec. 15. Some guesses were that the figure would be 128 pounds. Oth ers placed it at 126. Either would be a high one for Whirlaway. Whirly wasn’t the only name horse in the roll of nominees. Such prominent soon, to be four year-olds as Market Wise, Port er’s Cap, Dispose.

OUT OF ARMY j Plans To Resume Baseball Career; Glad To Serve I FORT CUSTER, Mich., Dec. 6. —Sergeant Henry Greenberg, who was called from the Detroit Tig ers’ outfield to become a soldier, said farewell to the United States Army today and planned to re sume the life of a baseball play er. | After 180 days of soldiering, 1 j big Hank was ticketed to leave Fort Custer. . On the eve of his departure, j Greenberg declared his biggest ’ thrill of leav-taking was that “now I am able to become a ball -1 player again.” “Since I’ve been in the army there hasn’t been a chance even to think about baseball,” he said. “All that was either in the past or the distant future. But now I . can go home to New York, wait [ for Spring and begin training for ■my old job with the Tigers.” ' That was all the lanky aut - fielder, rated the American Lea gue's most valuable player in . 1940, had to say about his plans. . “I’m proud of the honor of . serving in the army,” Greenberg said. “I’ve made a host of friends and had some wonderful experi ences. It’s been swell to be affil- ; iated with a famous regiment like the Second Infantry. Colonel Is aac Gill, commander of the Sec ond Infantry, has been a wond- ! erful officer.” Brig. Gen Clyde R. Abraham, in charge of Fort Custer’s infan • < try, paid personal respects to the sergeant. “I was a baseball fan long before you begin to play,” the gray-haired general declar ed, “and I want to wish you a lot of luck from now on.” The former Tiger home run slugger described his physical condition as better than it was last year at the same time. Greenberg, who will be 31 years old January T, qualified for release under the army rul ing that men over 28 may be dis charged. He now becomes a member of the army’s trained re serve.
