Lieuts. James Hearn, ex-Georgia

Mighty Wildcat Quintet
Do1uns Goldsboro, 32-17
High Flying Hanoverians
Capture Second Loop
Win OF Year
BY BILL McnWAIN

Hot in their conquest for the
conference championship, the spi-
rited New Hanover Wildcats de-
feated the Goldsboro Earthquakes,
32-17 in the high school gym.
The clever Cats were just too
much for the game but inexperi-
enced 'Quakes, and the outcome
of the contest was never in doubt
after Bill Aud opened up the
evenings scoring with a Grip shot.
From here on it was practically a
matter of the Cats racEng up tai
lies at random.
Little Doug Pridgen, standout
guard of the tricky Wildcats, led
the engagements point gathering
with a total of 8 points. AL Hair
CUT Collie was the runner up in
the scoring honors with 7 mark
ers. Lewis of the visitors register
ed points to pace the losers at
tack.
The entire Wildcat five turned
in a fine performance, with each
man figuring prominently in the
scoring. Numerous reserves were
used by the Cats in securing their
second straight conference win,
and their potency stood out well
in the romp.
Hayward of the visitors turned
in. a bang-up defensive game, and
was responsible for the breaking
up of many of the would-be Wild
cat scores.
The New Hanover cagers meet
their third conference foe of the
season Friday night when they
tangle with the Hugh Morson quin1
in the local high school gym.

civilians than for soldiers. The en-
actment of universal service is the
only way Of registering the prin-
ciple that every adult person has
a public obligation which comes
before his private interests.
We are now at the beginning OF
the active electioneering which will
lead through the primaries and
the conventions to a national cleo
ton. Politics cannot be abolished
Or adjourned. But politics should
be subject to the interests of the
nation which is at war, and the
one comprehensive way to achieve
that is to improve on every poll
tican and every voter the personal
obligation of service. This will
help to remind him that the cleo
ton is taking place during great
war.
Universal service is fairer and
more intelligent measure than
specific | e g i S o outlowing
strikes and aimed at the unions.
The unions are not the only sin
ners. The positive obligation on
each individual to serve the coun-
try at war is a far better thing
to insist upon than negative rule
forbidding strikes. 1t will deal with
many other forms of avoidance of
public duty-for example, the tend
ency of men who have acquired
training in public office to take
lucrative private jobs, which hap
pen to be empty and profitable
because other men are at war,
and so to profiteer personally at
the expense of the government and
OF those who remain at their posts.
We should not hesitate to enact
universal service because we can
imagine C mpl ic a e practi-
cal cases that would be difficult
to administer The adoption of the
legal obligation will cause most
men to do voluntarily what is de-
manded of them. The hard cases
can be dealt with somehow. They
have been dealt with in Britain
where the sense of personal liberty
is SILLY as strong as it is here.
The sooner we enact universal
service, the more unanimously we
adopt it, the greater will be the
beneficial effect. For it will be the
act, which really gives meaning
to our words. dedicating the ma
ton completely to it's duty.

''Y" CAGE LOOP
HAS FAST PACE

The Service League at the ''Y"
kept up its fast pace in big
way last night with a doublehead-
er that was really tops. With their
thunderbolts flying overhead to
aod a bit of color, the teams were
displaying equally as much color
on the court. The first game was
close one with the 4th Weather
Group eking out on the long end
of a q to 81 score. This was a
contest in which Conway was the
big noise with II points. However
Hunt added a lot of that noise by
adjusting his sights to the tune OF
IS points. Holland was "hot'' for
the losers with a total of IL points
but it was too much for him to
dc the job that two did for his
opponents even he personally ac-
counted more than either one of
the others.
The last game was story book
affair with no one being able to
predict the outcome until the fl
nal whistle. At the halfway mark
the 402nd Group led the 423rd Base

gers USED TO get tangled up
in a few years ago while they
still were the dizziness boys.
He would have needed an as.
sistant just to take care of
Babe Herman.
Most Of the situations and decis.
ions are fairly obvious, although
some Of the strategy seems to cal,
for a little explaining at times,
and some of the actions never car
be explained. It would be difficult
to find a logical explanation, for
instance, for Red Faber trying to
steal an occupied third base in the
1917 World Series without insulting
Faber, and nobody yet has answer.
ed the question as to why Walker
Cooper didn't slide into second
base in the last game of the 1913
World Series on the play in which
he ambled right on to be tagged
out.
Seriously. there are occasions
when little light is needed, and
we don't mean games called on ac-
count of darkness. There was
Augie Galan's hit in the 1886 ALL
Star game at oston, for instance,
which hit the foul line. 1t bounced
into foul territory and, as it was
a National League park, was rul-
ed a home run. Had it been an
American League park, he would
have been held to a double.
Then there was Lou Gehrig's
wallop into the stands in Washing
ton in 1884, withLynn Larry on
base Larry thought he saw Goose
Goslin catch the ball in center,
so rounded second and ran to the
dugout That he didn't know was
that Goslin had caught the ball on
the rebound from the seats. Gehrig
continued around the bases and
was called out for passing rum
ner. He was given only a double,
robbing him of the leadership in
home runs that year, as he finish
ed in a tie with Babe Ruth with
G.
Then there was Larry Doyle,
trying to stretch a single into a
double and thinking he couldn't
make if, reaching up and catching
the throW-in,. automatically putting
himself out for interference.
There are plenty of such Incl
dents which leave the fans in con-
fusion, so the Reds experiment
is not without merit. All they have
10 go on now are the four umpire
gestures of safe, out, ball and
strike, although you can add the
thumb they give to hayward play
ers or managers to the list if you
want to. Football officials have a
couple of dozen gestures, although
some of them look like G. /. calls
themes.
The next Red move probably will
be sharing the profits with the
fans. Or is that asking too much?
