over 10 years, II months of age in
a conference game, is suspended
from the conference for the re-

beautiful change of pace, and has
been used for several years as a
climax runner, led the spirited
Raleigh eleven to a $50 victory
over the Wildcats, last year (the
Cats only loss), thereby clinch-
ing the conference title. They were
defeated, however, in the p1ayoft
for the state championship by Cen
trail High school of Charlotte. In
this contest, the Caps were hinder

They had previously downed Cen
