1973 t laun- V** to ms or rs are lixture 1 orna- eness. Monday, December 24, 1973 I f THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD. KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. PAGE? HERALD SPORTS KM’s Butch Blalock Leads Area Scoring Race By TONY TOMPKINS Every year about this time, I kind of get sentimental and get in the Oliristmas spirit and all of the things happening around me just seem to be a little bit better. This year is certainly no exception. There is only one exception this year and that hap pens to be the passing away o-i my eaiiurs inointr. cjhc was a wonderful woman and I know the good Lord will watch after her. Christmas is a time for giving and sitting down ,to our meals with lhanklulness in our nearis. l sul Uowii last night and thought of the many blessings that the Lord has bestowed on me and just like the record, I wondered “Why me?". I sat down and thought that it was time for me to write old Santa a letter. This is it. Dear Santa: I am blessed with a wonderful family of a wife, three sons and three daughters, a mother, a brother, a mother- ■ei-law and two dogs, so I really don’t need anything else Biis Christmas, but I would appreciate it if you could nmd it possible to help some of my friends in the coming year. For all my friends and co-workers at the Herald, give them all happiness and a prosperous new year. For the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs, a few champion ships. For Kings Mountain’s Bobby Jones, a SWC champion ship and many new laces for next year’s team. For Carl Champion, another slowpitch state cham pionship. For Butch Blalock, a scholarship to an ACC school and many scoring records. For Roy Pearson, a better recreation program in the years to come. For Dean Smith and Carolina, championships in all sports. many more ACC Gar>' m For my fellow sports editor at the Mirror, Stewart, lots of news items to make him happy. For the citiiiens of Kings Mountain, make all of their wishes come true. For my wife, Nell, give her a love for athletics. And lor my dog Bo, just toss him an old bone. He’ll think it is a new one. Sincerely, Herald Sports Editor * « * » * « The Wolfpack basketball team could have fallen into a deep depression following its loss to UCLA in St. Louis, but according to coach Norm Sloan, that wasn't the re action. “We came out against Georgia (the next game) and » !aycd a strong game. In fact we got stronger as the .,arne went along, and that’s the first time we have done liiat the entire yeai'. Wo played with a good attitude and consant enthusiasm,’’ Sloan explained. That’s something the squad will need as it heads into the Sugar Bowl and Big hour tournaments the next few weeks. • *»*** Wolfpack football coach Lou Holtz, always in demand as an after dinner speaker, may not be on his feet as much in the future, and his wife, Beth, and four children can thank the governor for the added togetherness. “This new 55 mile per hour speed limit is taking me off the banquet circuit soon,’’ said the Wolfpack mentor. “It took me five and a half hours to got back from Ashe ville one morning, and that’s just too long. It looks like I’ll be forced to say at home. But when you look at the end result, it’s really a nice problem to have.” *«•«>«* “Wc got into the best bowl game we could have pos sibly gotten,’’ said coach Lou Holtz in the aftermath oi the Wollpack’s 31-18 win over Kansas in the Liberty Bowl. “At least 35 million people must have seen us on television in that game. I've gotten at least that man.\ cards and letters so far,’’ Holtz joked. “One thing’s lor surc'^I'm glad it’s over. It’s nice to bo able to spend Christmas at home with the family and have good memories instead of big problems. Of course l>awls are only fun if you win. so I'm not sure how much Kansas’ coaches and players arc enjoying their Holidays." Who are the surprise teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference hasketbaM race at this stage of the season? It has to be Wake Forest, Clemson anti North Carolina. The Demon Deacons and the Tar Heels are still unbeaten, while Clemson is off to a rousing start at this lime of the ©"^^0 watched Dean Smith’s Tar Heels play Virginia ^rech in the Charlotte coliseum last Thursday night, and altho the Heels didn’t play one of their better games, liiey still did a real fine job. . Bobby Jones is destined to be an All-Amcncan this year and he just keeps getting better all of the time. Speaking of coach Dean Smith, he 1 I s to be rated as one of the nicest men to interview that 1 have ever met. The man has more patience with newsmen and people, that I wonder if he ever goes to sleep at night, ^ou can ask him ten questions at one time and he will [laticntly answer a'll of .them. No wonder that he is a winner. # * • * # Butch Blalock is almost a sure bet, barring any in juries, to walk away with the area scoring cro\\'n. Butcb has to do just aSbout. everything for the Mounties, and that takes in quite a bit of territory, but he never seems to complain. I think that he would make some ACC team, or any team for that matter, quite a guard. He is quick, a very gobd jumper, and can shoot and dribble the ball with anyone. Best of all. Butch gives it his all when playing the game. John Blalock, Butch’s dad, is a very fine person and he has instilled a lot of pride and desire in his son. But most of all. John takes a back seat when Butch is playing the game. He sits very quietly in the stands and waits until evervone else is through talking to Butch, before he ambles*his way over to the boy and gives him a pat on the back. , . I’m sure that Butch will do well wherever he chooses to go to school, but, then again, he has been taught very Well. Itie eve of Christmas is here, and in closing this week, I want to personally wish all of you readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. i# , State to Play In Sugar Bowl Tournament RALEIGH — North Carolina .'itato meets an old and respect ed basketball opponent when It tom.;jete.s in the Su;»aV Bowl ilour- nament a-t New Orleans Friday, lacing the Viilanovu Wildcats *in tne evening's second game ait 9:3t) p.ni.

Chnstmas Tinsel Legend Is Told According to an old legend, a poor peasant women, with many .hildren, decorated a Cnnsmias tree with such humble trimmings as she was able to gather, most ly .xrHes an4 nuts and such odds and ends as she had managed to save up during the year. She lab ors d jar into Ihe night trying to make her tree as Feautiful as she could. While she was asleep, sjnder.s came and crawle<l froh branch to branch trailing their lacy w< hs hehin t them. To ivward the woman for her devotion, the Chri; t Child blessed the tree and all the spider webs were turned mta gkviming silver. How Santa Became Tradition The tradition that Sant:i Claus is the giver of Chrirtmas pres ents cc^mes to ic'C fr m a fourth century German legend of St. iNichOias i.Santa Claus is a Ger man corruption of the name). When St. Nicholas learned of three young women who were unable to attract suitors eeauso their father was loo poor to provide them with a dowr.., he filled thr'*c ags witli gold one night ancT^Jircw them into the ; windows of the rooms of the young women. Soon after, tliey were all happily marrk* 1. Uncx- p.-led gifts were thereafter at- ^I'.'ibuteci to St. Nicholas. The my’h that Santa Claus descends the chimney to fill the stockings comes from tlie Norse men. Their legend tolls us that at the winter solstice the god- de.ss Hei'iha appeared in their fireplaces and brought with her happiness and good fortune. n •. C'.oment riarko Moore, a professor in the General Theolo gical Seininary in .New York, put thl myth in the form of a poem, "The Visit of St. Nicholas." He invented the sleigh and the rein deer and his description of St. Ni.'holas was sugge.sted by the api>earantp of a German man- I of all work in his employ. The 'sleigh bells were suggested by , the bolls on the bri.i.e oi h.; .own hf)rse. He wrote the poem for bis children in 1S22 and read it to them on Christmas Eve of that year. Thi.^ poem has become the foundaticn of our own rich American tradition ab(»ul Santa Claus.
