Davis Is Making
Good at College
Garnet Clark, A. S. T. c. Boxer
Knocks Tennessee u. Man
Out in Second Round

LANSING, Jan. 18.-In a boxing
ring at the Atlantic Christian college
gymnasium in Wilson, N. c., last
Thursday night, Jan. IA, Woodrow
"Peck" Davis, former star Lansing
High School athlete, made his debut
as collegiate boxer by scoring a
technical knockout in the second
round over Mottern, Atlantic Chris
tan college fighter. Peck was fight
ing for the Wake Forest college box
ing team, the first they ever entered
in intercollegiate competition. By
winning his bout, Wake Forest was
enabled to exc out to 3 decision
over the A. c.. c. ringment. With the
score standing to 2 in favor of At
lantic Christian college, and only one
more bout, Davis VS.. Mottern, on the
program, it was entirely up to Peck
| to give Wake Forest the deciding
points.
Apparently showing no signs OF
nervousness, although it was his first
collegiate fight, he came through in
fine style to score his technical
knockout.
The News and Observer had the
following to say about the fight
''The feature bout of the night
pitted Davis of Wake Forest againSt
Mottern in the 1874 pound class. The
boys mixed freely in the opening
round, but Davis pushed his advan'
age to get technical knockout after
"a seconds of the second round"
Peck Davis started his ring career
two years ago in the then new Ian
sing High School gymnasium under
the tutelage of DR.. R. F. Barr, Ian
sing dentist, who had formerly beer
] star boxed in the navy. Peck re-
sponded well to the fine coaching o.
DR.. Barr, and had several fights
winning all of them. Last fall, aftel
graduating from Lansing High
School in May, Peck entered Wake
Forest college as freshman, bu
was permitted to try out for thu
varsity boxing team. There were
several tough men competing in hi
weight (164 lbs.) yet by working
hard and training diligently, he wa

We were struck by the attitude of the Matt
son family in Dr. Mattson's recent comment on
the kidnapping and brutal Staying of his son,
Charles.
Dr. Mattson said: "There is undoubtedly
divine act of Providence which DEGREES what
shall happen at time like this. Had the
hdnaper not entered our home, he would have
entered another and perhaps the family would
not have been able to bear it as well as we
have"
These are words that bereaved and bereft
families seldom have the courage to say, and it
reflects a lack of selfishness that is seldom met
with.

Rain Causes Big
Floods ON Ohio
Month of Rain Here Renders
Country Roads to Point OF
Almost Impassability

Drenching downpours wrought
new havoc along glutted streams IN
muddy Ohio valley this week.
Rains ranging from one to more
than two inches sent the mighty
Ohio out of it's banks in some sectors
and raised fear of serious flood dam
age along it's 980-mile course from
Pittsburgh to Cairo, Ill.
The broad river and its tributaries
swelled steadily. Hundreds OF low
landers joined several thousand 9TH
ers who had fled to the hills. Red
Cross units established quarters to
care for refugees in the inundated
areas. Industrial plants which lost
$1,OOO,OO0 worth of machinery IN
floods last March moved equipment.
An army of workmen strengthen
ed levees. Turbid waters swashed
through the streets of several COM
munities and coursed over thousands
of acres of land Several idle strip
mines were engulfed in Indiana
Many schools were closed. a number
of merchants in the danger zones
boarded up store fronts and carried
stock to upper floors.
West Showed Under
Newspaper reports at the same
time gave out stories of western
states being covered with snow anc
many rescue parties in various state:
searching for persons or groups o.
persons who had been lost in snow
storms.
Sub-freezing weather in the semi
tropical regions of southern Cali
fornia caused damage to citrus fruit!
unofficially estimated as ID per cen
of the orange crop and even more
to lemons.
Roads Bad Here
The weather remains moderately
warm in this section, but the heavy
rain that has poured almost steadily
for a month has caused many OF the
county roads to be almost impass
able. School buses, however, have
been able to continue running.
The unusually warm weather ha'
caused grass to begin growing anc
many early spring plants have be
gun to come up. Danete21eI5& h2V'

Americans are living up to their reputation
for a desire to move quickly. Approximately
100000 automobiles were sold during December
and 100000 persons travelled by airplane in
1886. The speed maniac, however, is not pro-
duct of modern times as anyone can ascertain
by treading about Jehu in the Old Testament.
His coming was recognized from afar by the
cloud of dust that his vehicle raised and by the
way he got top notch speed out of his chariot
horses.
