Roanoke Rapids
Defeats Henderson

One Of the finest basketball
games ever played on the local
gymnasium floor was staged
Tuesday night, when Henderson
Highs, fresh from a victory over
Oxford, met defeat at the hands
OF Roanoke Rapids by the score
of 81 to 26. The game was very
fast and exciting throughout. At
the end of the first half the visi-
tors were ahead, leading by the
close score of 18 to II.
The locals, with Lloyd Allen at
center, Willie Glover and Fred
Vaughan, guards. Lewis Taylor
and Richard Brown, forwards,
played fine ball throughout the
contest, the particular star being
Fred Vaughan, who alone scored
twenty three points; shooting
eleven field goals and making one
successful throw from the foul
line. For Henderson Riggan
starred. The Henderson team
lined up as follows: Moore,
center, B. Upton and Riggan
guards, G. Upton and Porter for
wards. They were accompanied
by Coach Garrison, who umpired
the game. Eaton was refree.
Another good scrap is expected
tonight when Rocky Mount will
be met. This bids fair to be an
especially thrilling contest as
Rocky Mount was the quint
which eliminated Roanoke Rap
ids from the State Championship
race last winter. The game will
be called at eight o'clock.
