As David chose, to slay Goliath, A sling with pebbles round and small, So I would choose one weapon only And nothing else at all; Give me my sling of laughter And I shall slay them all. Strip me of all that earth can offer, Unarmored I, defenseless, small— Like David, I shall not be lonely, I shall not fear at all. Leave me my sl!ng of daughter— I shall not fall. --vFlora Beuard, in Poetry.

Race Will Probably Be Between Carolina And W ake Forest. Football gossip thus early in the season is a bit uncertain, but to the fans it is interesting no matter how far-fetched. To Shelby fans, in par ticular, the game carries a particular appeal, for the high school aggrega tions have been treating the towns people to eome first-class foot-ball during the past four year*. Reports coming out from the - va rious schools of the State are opti mistic as usual, but this" year every team seems to be particularly confi dent. Various sports writers in the state have placed the different teams as they expect, or hope, them to fin ish, but drug store chatter, as re liable as any other sport barometer, develops results somewhat as fol lows: 'I he race for state champion ship seems to be between Carolina 1 and Wake Forest, with the latter having a slight edge, due to the greater number of letter men return ing; Davidson seems to have the best chance for third place on the mythi cal pre-season placing of the teams; the other two of the big five, State and Duke, are fairly evenly matched for fourth place, while Elon and Le- 1 noir-Rhyne have only an outside chance for victory over any of the leaders. Carolina loses this year five line men that played an important part in their victories. Captain Matthews, Hogan, and Farrell will be missing from their positions at tackle, while Fordham and Jackson, guards arc not coming back. Captain-elect Mc Iver will fill his position at center, Robinson and Hawfield will take care of guard and a tackle respectively, while both ends, Barswell and Ep stein, will be back at thejr old places. This leaves only two positions to be filled by new men. The famous line plunging back-field loses only Jack Merritt, and the seven monogram men out for the four places should be able to take his place without any trouble. The last years champions, are more fortunate in the matter of old men coming back. Only Frank Armstrong, Pegano, and Lentz are not coming back, and there is ample material to fill their places, both in the varsity squad of last year and freshman team. Chakales, James and Green, of the Asheville high school champions of a few years ago are expected to give somebody a hard fight for the back-field positions, and Savage, Phelps, and Cooper are also promi- i nentiy mentioned -for the end and guard open. At Davidson, there seems to be a good supply of material for the first time in many years. Twelve letter men of the scrappy little team that lost only two games last year will be back, and the freshman icam ex the iali- rt >_■) i i £f.c ic ■- * material. Shelby fans will be par ticularly interested in the Davidson chances, because a home boy, Hucrh Arrowood, is practically conceded a place ut end on the team. Arrowood made a fine record as freshman end last year, earning the position on the ! All-State team, and Coach' Monk Younger stated that die is the best prospect that he has ever had his hands on. .Jimmy Hendrix, the speedy half-hack, will be wanting, as will Captain-elect Boggs, Summers, and Captain Davis, In the line, and Cov ington and Hunt in the baekfield. Along with Arrowood, freshmen interne, lirey anil Nisbet arc being prominently mentioned, while Allen, McCombs and Clyde Long showed up well in spring practice. Although the Wildcats can hardly conquer Caro lina- or Wake Forest, they will give both the typical Davidson fight. State loses a total of six letter men, every one of whom are full !lodged letter men, and is probably hurt worse than any of the others by losing men. Logan and Cox, tackles, Realty, guard and last year’s cap tain, Ripple and Wallace, ends, and Lassiter, fullback, will be missing when the roll is called, while the State fresh team of last year ciut only manage to fill one or two of these positions. Three Shelby boys, Austell at end, Anthony at tackle, ami Hennessee at fullback, arc conceded excellent chances to make the team tliis year, and with Fred Logan hack at his regular centre position, fill out a delegation of which the town might well be proud. Frasier, of Winston Salem. is an excellent prospect at quarter, as is .lack McDowell, from the Rockingham high team, at end, Duke's chances are rather uncer tain, but unless there is a radical change in the reports coming from there, they have scarcely any chance at the other four. They haven’t hol lered yet, but news from there is relatively unimportant as compared to the others. U'tioir, with Dick Gurley coaching, i” certain to make a better allowing than last year, but they are not ex pected to make anything but a garni light. With a year or two more ex perience, they are going to make some team hustle for its laurels. However, this year’s team is scarcely likely to do more than throw a scare into the camps of the various ene mies. ' Klon always puts up a game bat tle, but the Baptists lack the mater ial. Their showing as yet is consider ably in t he shade. High Point college is a new-comer to the game and their showing will he watched with interest all over the state. Their basketball team last spring made a good showing for a first year team, and much is expect ed of them in the next few years along athletic as well as scholastic lines. Taken all together, football in the state should bo.better than last year. ■State and Carolina both have a gome scheduled with Mercer this year and a better opportunity to gauge Cato lina football by the side of that in the north will be given. Just a month now, boys until the first gamer. Try Star Want Ads if you have any thing to sell or want to buy. One cent per word pur issue. J. LAWRENCE LACKEY, Dealer - — — — — Shelby, N. C.
