Durham, Wildcat Games
Highlight Cage Week
BY GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer

The Eastern A Conference
reaches its climax this week with
the four top teams in the loop, bat
ting it out for the loop crown.
Wilmington, the current basket
ball capital of the eastern part of
North Carolina, will send their I'm
defeated High school cagers to
Durham, where the game of the
season is expected to be fought.
Durham, unbeatable on their home
court in seven years, risks a
brilliant record against the Wild
cats, who have found little trouble
in topping the opposition out Of
town.
IF Wilmington beats Durham on
that Durham floor, they deserve
the championship" said Carl
Mason, former Cat basketeers,
yesterday evening when the sub
ject was brought up in converse
ton.
'They play on stage up there,
and it's so small, ne team can get
near the net, because of the zone
defense the Bulldogs throw to
cover the space. No team has
been able to beat them up there
because they had the zone per-
fectly executed"
Whether Carls statement holds
true in the Wilmington-Durham
game Tuesday or not remains to
be seen, but in Fridays return
fracas here, the Locals have an
even chance.
Wilson, who have caught on fire
in their last two tits. upsetting
both Fayetteville and Durham,
will attempt to continue to climb
the scale by beating the Fayette-
vile five, which hold tight grasp
on third place at present. Raleigh,
also running on a win streak,
takes on tough opposition in the
Soldier City lads also, Friday.
The two cellar clubs also will
have a chance to win a game,
when Goldsboro plays Rocky
Mount. The Earthquakes haven't
won tilt in six starts, while the
Blackbirds are further in the
dumps, losing eight straight.
Coach Leon Brodgen, who has
coached his players exceptionally
well this season, will receive even
higher laurels if his first Whining
ton basketball team wins their
initial championship in II years.
The MINIS five has dropped Dur
ham into a runnerup spot, a posi-
ton unfamiliar to the proud Bull
dogs. They have a chance to take
a championship award, which Dur
hams quintet have monopolized
for the past decade. Next week
supply the answer ia
the flag question.

Sam Allen, Raleigh promoter OF
the Class D Tobacco State league
yesterday made his third overture
to the city for a team in that cir
cult during the coming year.
Like a rubber ball that bounces
each time it is dropped, the base
ball issue here has refused to die
although it has several near-fatal
developments.
Allen made his first offer to the
city Il meeting of interested
parties of the league in Erwin,
Wednesday, Jan. %. Last Sunday
he repeated the offer to the Star
News to relay to j. E. L. Wade,
chairman of the local ball COM
mittee. Yesterday he sent a tele-
gram to Wade stating whining
ton invited to join Tobacco State
league
A check will be made today by
Wade of funds pledged to the base
ball funds to see if the needed
money is available for Class D
operations. While Class D opera
lions are by Wade 'less expen-
sive then Class B." a majority
Of the pledges made to the COM
mittee for baseball operations
were made with the provision that
they be used for Class B nego-
tiations alone. Wade will have to
see if enough of this money will
be released for the Tobacco State
league to warrent entertaining the
proposal.
The councilmen said yesterday
that still another meeting of the
Citizens committee may be neces-

| Wilmington club in that circuit to
Join is again wavering on the side.
lines.
An Associated Press dispatch
said yesterday, "the decision last
night of Wilmington citizens not
to enter the Tri-State league meant
that Charlotte which was ready to
enter the new league along with
Wilmington to bring the circuit
roster up to six clubs, must await
further Developments
But Charlotte wasn't the only
North Carolina city ito have its
immediate baseball future cloud
ed" by the local action.
Asheville is known to have been
banking on the Wilmington entry
as one of the strongest arguments
for the Tri-State league. With the
city out and Charlotte wavering
in a baseball no-man's land, the
western North State city is faced
with being the only North Carolina
entry in the Tri-State.
C. M. Llewellyn, president Of the
league has not made any COM
ment on the city's refusal but he
is known to have placed great
deal of faith in this city joining
the league. In conversations and
negotiations with various news
papers and wire associations dur
ing the entire negotiations he was
always optimistic about Whining
ton joining.
In fact he stalled two other cities,
Gastonia and Greenwood, S. c.,
until the last minute which was
Friday midnight, in a hope that
Wilmington would join the circuit.
However, Class B baseball is
dead issue in Wilmington now and
the pressing baseball problem this
morning facing Wade and his COM
mittee is whether a city of our size
will accept Class d baseball.
