FAST BASKETBALL
Girls Tie in Rich Square Games.
Meet Henderson Tonight. Boys
Lose to NOflind and Defeat Rich
Square. Play Wilson Tonight.
GOOD GAMES EXPECTED

Last Saturday night the girls
quint of the high school lost a
most exciting game of basket
ball to the girls of Rich Square
high by the close score of twenty
one to twenty two. The two
teams were evenly matched and
the outcome of the contest could
not be guessed. The score was
tied several times and the last
goal thrown was the deciding
point of the game. For the visit
ing team Miss Weaver played
good ball, especially in shooting
fouls. For the locals, Miss Leola
Vaughan was the star.
The same team met another
nip and tuck affair on the Rich
Square Court Tuesday night
and Roanoke Rapids managed to
nose out victory by an equally
close margin as was in the for
mer game, the count finally
standing nineteen to eighteen.
This was a particularly good
game, even better than the one
on Saturday night. Again Miss
Leola Vaughan showed her
skill. Miss Louise jackson also
starred and the guarding of the
home team was especially good
For Rich Square Miss Weaver
played her usual spectacular
game.
Tonight the locals meet Hen
derson in Henderson in the see
ond game of the season. Hender-
son won the game here few
weeks ago. Since that time the
Roanoke Rapids highs have i'm
proved considerably and a closer
score is expected in this game.
The boys team has also played
two games this week. Norlina
was met in Norlina Friday night
and for the second time this
season defeated the home team,
this time by the decisive score
OF thirty seven to twenty four.
Lewis Taylor was the star of
the game, shooting goals total
ing sixteen Of the twenty four
points scored.
Tuesday night in the High
School gymnasium the Rich
Square quint was met and de-
feated twenty six to eighteen.
At the end of the first half the
score stood, eighteen to eight
in favor of Rich Square. The
locals walked up and succeeded
in making eighteen points in the
second half without allowing
their opponents to score. The
lineup for both games was as
follows; Forwards. Brown and
Taylor. center, Allen, guards
Fred Vaughan and Glover.
Tonight a game has been ar
ranged with the Wilson Highs,
the game to be played at seven
thirty. The time for the game
has been made earlier than usual
on account of the visitors having
to catch the 9;16 train in Wei
don.
