Lansing Football Team Plays
| Marion Eleven Tomorrow, p. III.
Defeated Madison High Last
Friday I'm An IntersectiOnal
Battle, 20 To Z.

The powerful Lansing high school
football team will journey to Ma
rion, Va, tomorrow afternoon to
meet the Virginia eleven that has
always presented a strong gridiron
aggregation.
The first three opponents of the
Ashe county Skylanders were be-
wildered by the clock-like machine
of Coach Morphis and could not stop
this alert, aggressive team from sue,
cessive marches across the goal line
What it will do to Marion tomor-
row afternoon is uncertain because
this Virginia outfit is boosted this
season as being ''better than ever
Last Friday night Lansing licked
poppy Madison, N. c., high school
team in an intersectional battle OF
the mountains with the piedmont by
a decisive score of 20 to Z.
1t was an open date for Lansing
and Coach Morphis had three invi-
tations. He chose to play Madison
and thus journeyed into his own ma
tive county.
The game was played at night and
this gave the Madison lads an ad-
vantage because Lansing boys had
never thrown football around on a
gridiron field by the light of cleo
trio current.
At the opening of the battle, this
change showed up, too. Due to
a tumble and blocked kick, Madison
scored during the first few minutes
of the game.
The Lansing eleven blinked their
eyes, re-adjusted themselves and
really got down to serious business
and from that time on it was the
Ashe county team that did the scor-
ing, with Stancil, Stike, Warren and
Hartzog carrying the ball. Blevins,
Eldreth, Farmer, Faw, Kilby and
Miller braced the line and held the
Rockingham county ball carriers.
Lansing SCORED it's first touchdown
in the first period when Stancil
skirted right in for 4O-yard goal
dash. The ohter two scores came in
the last periods. Morphis' lads al
so threatened to score several 9TH
er times.

The World Series is over and here
are the results: Joe Mccarthy, Yam
kee manager, gets second revenge
of the Chicago Cubs, team he once
managed, but was released; Ruffing
set new pitching record by winning
two of his teams four victories;
our standing in the series, "too much
sentiment for the Cups to win, re-
sulting in no runs, no hits and a big
error by our sticking with the Cubs
From an Ashe county viewpoint, we
were sure that the Yankee players
would not try to win the four games
as they get large percentage of the
gate receipts and fifth game would
have increased each individuals
share, but Joe McCarthy's revenge
desire was stronger than the desire
to get more money.
Unquestionably the Yanks have the
best baseball club the world has
seen in many years, perhaps all
times and we doubt if it would be
possible to pick team from all of
the clubs in the national league that
could lick those New Workers.

In the football world, Lansing
high school contributed further
proof last Friday night that it has a
powerful gridiron team by trounc-
ing Madison, one of Coach Morphis'
native county teams. We know
Coach must have enjoyed that vic
tory. Here's counting on his team
to lick Marion tomorrow.
Saturday was bad day for sever
al North Carolina teams so far as
national prominence is concerned.
Carolina lost a heart-breaker to Tu-
lane; State bowed to Alabama and
Duke only defeated Colgate by one
touchdown. Of course A. S. T. G.
Mountaineers continued their vic
tory march by winning easily over
a Tennessee eleven.

NAHANT, Mass, June 3 GIN.
SD.-Pastel wedding in a town
as neat as a pin.
The news leaked out today as
to what Anne Lindsay Clark and
her bridesmaids will wear at her
marriage June 18 to John RooSe-
welt, youngest son OF the PreS1-
dent.
Anne is setting a new fashion
for June brides.
There will be plenty of frllls
instead of streamlining.
The motif is fantasy instead
of the exotic.
Anne's wedding costume, de-
signed in Paris, made in Boston,
is pure white with quantities
of tulle. Her bridesmaids will
wear blues and pinks in pastel
shades.
LAST FITTING
Anne's wedding dress has been
completed. She has had her
last fitting. 1t has been in the
process since last February. Her
dressmaker made a special trip
to Paris to select the creation.
Boston dressmakers report
women wedding guests, learning
it is to be a pastel wedding,
have ordered their gowns in pas
tel shades. Many have ordered
English garden party type cos
tunes of gay printed chlffons
and large picture hats.
Meanwhile. Nahant has been
sCrubbing, polishing and paint
ing in preparation for the we'd
ding and the arrival of its chief
guests, President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. Residents have been
clipping hedges and moving
lawns.
Busiest men in town are
Charles Leavitt and Tom Scally,
respective caretakers of the
church where the Presidents
son will marry and the club
where the wedding reception
will be held.
SPRING CLEANING
Nondenominational Nahant
Church has undergone a spring
cleaning such as it has not re-
ceived in it's almost 100 years of
existence. Nothing has been
done, however, that will take
away the mellow beauty of the
interior.
Quaint. rambling old Nahant
Club has been reconditioned.

tennis court-Where natives will
tell you the first tennis tourna-
ment in America was played

" Jungle Love"
At Columbia

Into this picture Of pagan
love, excitement and the spec
tacular, there has been injected
Technicolor to add to the impos-
ing grandeur of the scenery
and other shots. But one thing
the producers forgot was to add
a story.
The plot runs like a modern
serial with the hero and heroine
being snapped from their fate
at the hands Of the villain, who
periShes for his misdeed.
The hero and his companion
are wrecked in their plane on
{ lonely South Sea isle, there
to find a white girl who, with
Bob, forms the love interest.
Much comedy then ensues,
until the coming of the villain,
sn educated chieftain of the is
lands. who hates white men. He
then proceeds to do away with
them in his own ceremonial
manner, only to be stopped by
the laws of nature.
Help finally arrives but Bob
chooses to remain devoted to his
savage love and stays. All which
reminds one of a reverse Tar.
zan" picture.
Dorothy Lamour portrays the
island girl, while Ray Milland
presents the aviator who has a
hard time trying to be civilized.
Fine comedy is seen and heard
when Lynn Overman, as the
other aviator, flashes on the
screen. Without him the picture
would be totally lacking in any.
thing. j. Carroll Naish is the
princely villain, and a very fine
one.
For those who have been fol.
lowing "The Lone Ranger" the
Columbia presents the fifth and
sixth chapters, thereby saving
wear and tear on the heart wait
ing to get the hero out Of his
peril.-R.H.S,
