Wildcats Hold Light Drill
Parade Planned Here Friday
Company To Be
Selected To March In
Pre-Game Attraction

A large Junior Chamber of Conn
merce parade will touch off pre-
game activities for the Edward
Military Institute football contest
Friday afternoon, Wallace West. a
member of the New Hanover High
school athletic department., has
announced.
I'VE are planning to have the
ROTC band and n company enter
the parade down town along with
the Jaycee's decorated automobiles
and various other attractions
West said. This company will be
chosen by Colonel Blanchard. pro-
fessor of military science and
tactics at MINIS, and T. T. HamiL
ton, principal. One thing that has
been misinterpreted by the news
papers and which l want to correct
is that the company will march
only down town, not at the football
game. The ROTC battalion will
parade either at the Wilson or
Goldsboro conference games, when
sponsors are presented"
The Wildcat squad went through
relatively light practice yesterday
at 18th and Ann park with pass
defense being stressed for the EMI
encounter.
Louis Sykes, Herman Wick, Neal
Patrick, and Johnny Crowley
shared the passing duties, each con-
Meeting several times with receiv-
ers Billy Mason, Charlie Smith,
Billy Quarles, Rudy johnson, Fritz
Stelljes, and others.
Following practice a brisk race
was staged to uncover the fastest
runner on the field. Neal Patrick,
Homer Brewer, Clarence Hilburn,
and Charlie Smith copied top
honors in this event.
Wilmington's injured list con-
tinues to swell as Bill Kuhn, Rob-
ert Vente7s, Linwood Grissom,
Bobby Stewart, and Rudy johnson

probably take it easy for the re.

Coach Burcky is returning to his
duties at Bluffton college, and no
longer would be able to continue as
part-time high school mentor, in
case Swank decides to take graduate
work.
Swank was serving his first year
as Bluffton High coach when he
went into service, and under the
G. |. bill of rights is entitled TO re-
instatement to the position if he so
desires.
A decision not to return, however,
would place in the hands of the
board of education the responsibility
of selecting a new coach.
Whether coaches are more plenti-
full now than they were two years
ago when Swank's departure found
the job going begging is a matter
that only a search for applicants
could answer. At that time, no APP
plications were made for the job
and Coach Burcky virtually was
drafted to fill the gap during the
war years.

Cleon Steiner really had a thrill

near the swim float with a crowler

then the tussle began. After skillful-

he was able to get it near shore.
With the aid of Sport Kirkland, who
grabbed the fish by the gills and was
able to drag it ashore, Steiner really
had fish to be proud of.
Ralph Reichenbach also landed a

for instead of hooking the fish in
the conventional manner, Ricky

Bluffton High Coaching Future Is
Uncertain; Swank May Not Return

Bluffton High schools coaching
status for the next year had re-
solved itself into huge question
mark this week when it was learned
that George Swank, regular Pirate
mentor on leave of absence because
of service in the Army, is undecided
whether he will return to the school
next fall.
Swank, who returned to Bluffton
last week after receiving his service
discharge, notified Supt. Ralph Lam
ham that he may take further col
lege work instead of coaching, de-
cision that would leave the local
position open.
Supt. Lanham said, however, that
Swank had indicated definite decis-
ion would be Forthcoming this month.
In the mean time it has been
learned that A. C. Burcky, Bluffton
college athletic director, who at the
request of the board of education
filled in as high school coach for the
