Shelby And Lattimore Will Clash Friday; Belmont Abbzy Here Saturday; Other Sports I.eevI Cager* Face Tough Week "Cricket" Weathers Keeps - His Stride. (By RF.NN DRUM.) Basketball fans hereabouts who haven’t been keyed up as jet over the current baskrtball season should become aroused j this week—-that Is, if they pre- ! fer action and plenty of it on the polished courts. Friday night two Cleveland coun ty quints long rated among the best cage outfits in the state will make their first lunge at each other. Which is to say that Lattimore and Khelby play at Lattimore. In by gone years the basketball battle Be tween these two schools has been a rub affair. This year Lattimore rppears to hove the upper hand ; There isn't a “Cricket” Weathers cr Virgil McSwain on the up-coun ty quint but Lattimore always man ages to assemble a squad of boys who take to the cage game like ducks, to water. Must Show Speed. Shelby'S outfit has so far this year been a so-so aggregation, flashing fast play on occasions and poor play on other nights. Friday night the local outfit will have to be travelling in top form to even make it tight enough to be thrilling. There is certain to be a big crowd In the LattUnore gym. There always Is when Shelby and Lattimore; be gin rattling, the ball on the back boards. Big damp Here. Saturday night Shelby fans will get their bit of action in the local tin can with the Belmont Abbey * junior collegians furnishing the op position. The tw oquints met early in the season when the Abbeyites ded icated their new gymnasium by sweeping through the Shelby goal tossers. The local lads would like to secure a certain amount of re venge for that defeat and believe that Friday night's game with Lat timore will help pep them up for the speedy collegians. If the beys on the squad are in clined to be optimistic, it might be well to remind that they will do well, mighty well, to break even in the contests of Friday and Satur day nights. » • • Stepping Along. . It was last; year you remember j That; a slender young fellow on the Baltimore oasketball quint, “Crick, et” Weathers by name, attracted such attention by his ability to cage goals. In fact, there were very few* things in the cage game re pertoire he couldn't do with the ] skill of an artist. Along about! the same time he let the county know that, basketball wasn't his only long suit by winning the Hoey oratorical medal. This year young 'Weathers r attending school at the Univer sity of North Carolina. If you ve been reading the accounts of the games in which the Carolina fresh have played, you will have noticed ■ that a boy named Weathers lias been the star. He would be—and he will be some day on that famous Carolina varsity, "the Flying Phan toms'', which has won so many ’ Southern titles. Remember that! Warning lo Babe. A man who is interested in box ing; and naturally in Babe Can, Shelby's smiling slugger, drops in •with a warning to the youthful boxer: "Babe", he writes, “has the mak ing of a lightweight champion, bat there are several pitfalls in Babe's path. 1 am fond of him. and I've never seen a more sportsmanlike ox gamer youngster in the ring—and I've seen several in my day—but if Babe intends to go.very high in the boxing game, he must settle down to a strenuous grind. In Charlotte the ring experts say Babe will be the Carolina-; champion before he is old enough to vote, but WILL NEVER be unless he trains regular ly and strenuously. At his age. should he become the Carolina s champion, he ought to keep moving up and eventually might be booked at Madison Square Garden. i do not know how well the'fcabe is train ing, but I do know that he will nev er be other than a ham-and-egger and a punch palooka unless he trains consistently—every’ day. Wine women and song have floored most of the champions after they were champions, but no one ever became champion by tangooing with thf.t trio before ne received the crown, Carr has color, style, and a pretty good punch, grinding away Is the only remaining asset to get him places. He may be doing so—I do not know—but If he Isn’t, he should Too many young fellows take their good times as they meet him. Three years from now Babe can be battling in the big time, or he can be swapping punches before half packed dollar houses. It all de ]>ends upon him and the seriousness with which be goes at it. I'm pull ing for him.” t « • Bill Tells ’Em. Off goes the brown derby to Co&eh Bi” A’exander of Georgia Te~h.
