A RIDDLE IN RHYMES
by
Rev. T.M. Walker
WHAT AM I?
1 am the in and out traveler; not one to tarry;
Though I leave my trail in place.
With my one eye I'm a sharer of a tail I carry,
As I narrow gaps between a wide space.
1 wear no garments, no leather and have no skin;
But I weave among these like stiff wire.
When given assignments I stick there until I win
A victory for some wearer’s atire.
WHAT AM I?
Whether I’m hand driven or pulled out by fingers,
I am important as if a machine.
Things cotton or silken often around me linger
Until I bring things together at the seam.
If ever I’m in a haystack, 1 am difficult to find,
Or maybe searching for me is a vain try.
Users hastily put me back after my tail is entwined
In fabrics that would otherwise burst wide.
WHAT AM I?
Not only do I squeeze through silk, or even leather,
But 1 will even drag a trail through flesh.
Easily as a breeze I work in all kinds of weather,
Consentrating on rips that are quite fresh.
When garments are repaired, or flesh brought
together.
All because of what’s strung through my eye
It’s then because I dared to be used for the better
Of things in life worth the while.
WHAT AM I?

Four More ''Big Names” At GGO
GREENSBORO--Four more “big
names” have committed themselves for
the $230,OpO Greater Greensboro Open at
Sedgefield the week of March 19-April 4.
They are Billy Casper, a former GGO
champion, Lee Trevino, Lou Graham, 2
1975 U.S. Open champ, and J.C. Snead.
Casper won the GGO in 1968 on his
way to becoming one of several golfing
millionaires.
Chavis Y Opens
Tournament
WITH A VICTORY OVER
YOUTH FOR CHRIST”
The Triad Basketball League began its
first Annual basketball Tournament at
the Carl Chavis YMCA Gym on Tuesday.
First round action saw Chavis Juniors
defeat Youth for Christ 103-68.
Tournament continues on Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday with games for boys
8-13, girls 13-16, and boys 14-16, at the
Chavis Gym on Fourth Street.
The first game was won by Chavis
Juniors using a fullcourt press and zone
defense. Applying the pressure for
Chavis was Mike Welch and Mike Moore
who caused countless turnovers and also
combinded to score a total of 33 points.
The superb backcourt performers scored
26 and 7 points respectively, while
playing great defensive basketball.
Chavis strongmen Don Armstrong and
Tim Clinton also turned in outstanding
performances by controlling the board
and scoring a combined 54 points.
Armstrong was high scorer for both
teams with 43 points and leading
rebounder with 22. Clinton played tough
defense and contributed 20 points and 7
rebounds.
“Youth for Christ” couldn’t muster
much offense but Donnie Green
contributed 31 points and 13 rebounds.
He was followed by Larry Gregory with 13
and James Little with 12, Art Lovette 8,
and Mike Jarvis 4. Others scoring and
playing well for Chavis were Ken Baldwin
8 points, Lamont Johnson 4, Victor Walls,
2, and Dwayne Phillips 2.
Chavis Juniors are now 16-0.
The portly Calitornian rallied some
what in the ’75 season, rising from 35th
on the money list to 14th with one victory
and a second to bolster the $102,000-plus
season.
Casper’s win came in New Orleans.
Trevino, who’s won five major titles
(two U.S. Opens, two British Opens and a
PGA Tournament), suffered an off-sea
son last year with just one triumph and a
pair of thirds.
However, the chatterbox didn’t cry all
that much since he finished 9th on the
earnings list and took home over
$134,000.
Graham’s Open victory surprised a lot
Is Your Favorite Merchant
Advertising In Your Paper?
WHY NOT?
Ask Him
of people, but he has been a steady tour
performer with over $600,000.
The Nashville, Tenn., native is the
exact opposite of Trevino in that he
arrives at a tournament site without
fanfare and leaves the same way. Like
Trevino, however, he manages to make
his stay for four days-profitable.
Snead’s only victory came early in ’75
when he captured the Andy Williams-San
Diego Open in a playoff against North
Carolina native Ray Fiord and Bobby
Nichols.
Sam’s nephew went on to 17th on the
money list with $91,000.
