Some Sport Shots HOW GOLD GOT IT BASKETBALL IN AIR (By KKNN BRUM.) For the first lime in the history the school a Shelby high athlete s t5mi placed on an All-South n eleven. Kefernce, of course. Is Capt. "Milky'’ Gold's end berth the All-Southern eleven. Meantime the long-limbed, vet tile Shelby star has been placed i every All-State and All-Western even published. I How the Shelbv ra plain, although s eleven was not In the state race u> played very little out of the imediate territory, managed to aee in the seleet circles Is a right terestlng story, perhaps because dllty, and ability alone, got him liere. First of all, Gold was I,other yrd's choice tor end. Byrd dcclar g meantime that he was such a tsatile kicker, runner, passer, and nC-plunger to be All-State fuU uck, but was worse needed on an nd. Byrd in <elr-t in: hi- teams es many of ! lie high school out ts in actions, and consults coaches nd sport authorities about those le does not. see. .Suffice to . ay that tmebody must have toid Byrd an fnrfull about "Casey” Morris' cap in who could do a little bit of erything in football, unci do it ight well. Then fiold placed at the same !>crth on the eleven pu ked by F,d Jie Hrietr. Charlotte Observer sport hlitor. Briet/- eonferrd with ► ••aches and officials. He wrote Ihym or talked to them and asked Ihem the best high school players. Ibree of four, they had seen dur ing the year. Then he asked them In name the best one of the three |>r lour. After that he picked his eleven. About the same time down in Dr uid Florida, ‘ Red: Davis and his |f\:l-Souih. i n hoard w as • • '-ct m m All-Southern e’eveu; With a (itanbfr on tl booed from ever ite in the c?’r surniis ■ i 11 at Davis had each m mber name ! |he outstanding players ot his state I md then picked from the group |he two or three most outstanding. I! you noticed. only three North ; 'arolinu high school players were . lamed, the fourth being McDade. I t>r the Oak Ridge prep eleven, who s served his day in high school j luid is now good enough to land on Bloat any rolleee outfit. fudging by that the roaches and rtf Metals who wrote to Fddie BrieD land I other Byrd upparently said I'cveral 'cry nice things about the 'helby high lad who plays all three major sports. I Gold hit the AII-Sou*iiern eleven much tike Warner Mizzejl, of Georgia Tech, landed on the All American, Mizzell has been play ing at Tech for several years and doing his bit here and there in a modest, acceptable manner. At lanta folks even seemed a bit sur prised when Mizzell blossomed into the South's greatest grid star this 'ear. That was because Mizzell is rot and has never been a grand stand player, or one of the sensa tional variety. When he carries the ball he generally gets somewhere with it. but with very little ado and •irardn.~: he punts consistently, ion- great interference, and is a stone wall on the defense. Still he wasn't flashy. but, the big boys who pick the real teams, among them several great coaches, can estimate the value of players end overlook the ballyhoo meantime: Perhaps they watch a little clos er these days since they were al most fooled in "Red’’ Grange. The red-head was a great gridder, but of recent years since he has tried his hand at pro football, the ex ;v perts have realized that something i was missing. That something was a ‘ halfbacit by the name of Britton f who ran interference for Grange at f litinols. Grange’s own coach when he heard how much Grange had made declired that "Red” should "divvy up” with Britton, who made him Same tiling as to Mizzel. At long distance for a year or two we have been reading play-by-play accounts of the Georgia Tech games. Some- j how it always seemed funny to us that the headlines featured Thom ason and others when down in the * detailed accounts it appeared as if a fellow by Hi> name of Mizzel was c arrying the bail t bout as much and more than all the others. He usually co.rr'td it only six or eight yards a < h; -but. gosh, how he Just kept chipping 'em off, although it was very seldom that he dashed off 001 sensational 50-yard runs. This year lie got off on several long jaunts and the wise boys be gan to watch him—and, perhaps, to figure up the yardage at the end • of the game. Ntc'w Mr. Mizzell is an All-Amer ican. “Milky* Gold fn high school i d ries amid hr jusl as easily over i, ked. but the «ouches who sent : > heir n;up against Kin and wrote U.ift». r^r-iL and Daiu of hii.» could see wlml lie was (loin*;. The eves of the fans follow the flash* play and take the routine- truck horses as complacently as the goal posts. Recall the Charlotte game? Bridges was out with a broken hand, Zeno Wall after several bril liant plays was carried from the field, l.eft in the game was Gold j and three inexperienced, light I backs. Rut what did Gold do? Hr made only one run of interest, an end dash of 30 yards, but during the afternoon he scored five first downs while the entire Charlotte eleven, which won by three touch downs, was making only four, It wasn’t luck. but just determined plunges into the line. One minutr Gold would be line-bucking, the next skirting an end for a few yards, then tossing a pass, ratrhing one next, then punting when a kick was needed. On the defense hr was stopping nearly every ( harlot (< play after ii came through thr line. Somebody down to Charlotte, who is well-versed in football, musi have seen Gold and bis crew take that licking. A week or two later, the Shelby eleven was licked again until the final minutes. Out-played from start to finish, the Shelby captain, as the curtain was about to fall, stood on his own 10-yard line and threw ehe of the longest passes ever seen in high school football hereabouts to Guy Bridges who dashed 50 yards to tie the Forest City score with six points: Then Bridge.' reversed, it and threw' one over the goal line. to (Sold for the extra point and the game, A year ago a mighty southern championship eleven at Charlotte scored one mea ly touchdown on the small Shelby eleven. Coming home from the game the fans told of an end—Clo d played end then— who kept the score down by work ing around behind the tlharlotte wall and stepping th- plays before they got >t rted good. No matter what kind of an offense a football eleven has when the opposition comes tearing through before the advance lever gets out of low even into intermediate, there will be very little scoring. Err another summer comes North Jarolma tans may learn again that this same gold plays a fairly 'good brand of basketball and baseball. That boy won't have much trou ble getting college registrars to send him catalogs of. the various schools Some of 'em may come down and tell hint really about the wonders of certain schools. We don't, blame 'em, either. High school basketball is the center of sport interest again, A few years back few of the high schools hereabouts took basketball seriously. Last year Forest City, Shelby, Kings Mountain, and Roiling Springs had quints threat ening the state title. Shelby after a nip-and-tueh tussle managed to down Lattimore by a scant margin. Remember "Big” Harrill and the Weathers brothers? Then a fast stepping Foiest City five eased the skids under Shelby by just a few points. Sueh was the interest creat ed tlien That Shelby's “tin ran" couldn't accommodate the rrowds. This year the can has been en larged, rather fixed to seat scores more than last year. Such indicates another big cage year. There will he “big doings" in the can this year, or we miss a guess, l.atttmore and Forest City ran al ways be counted upon to produce flashy basketball players, and Coaches Morris and Falls have a pretty good start in Zeno Wall, Guy Bridges, Gold and the last year reserves they have on hand. About the time Santa’s presents are becoming a bit stale we’ll be seeing which has the best aggrega tion. TRUSTEE’S SALE.
