REVENGE BATTLE
SEEN FOR LOCALS
Hanoverians Seek Repeat
Over Lee Stones Basket
ballers Tuesday
BY GENE WARREN

Following their narrow win over
the Wilson Cyclones Friday night,
IS to 80, the Wilmington Wildcats
travel to Raleigh Tuesday seeking
their ninth victory of the season
over conference opponent.
Raleigh received their sixth de-
feat of the season last week losing
to powerful Durham High on their
home court, 80 to %.
In the last Wilmington aleigh
tussel here, the locals mAuled the
Caps, So to %. This game was the
one that initiated the Johnny Nc
Koy eligibility case, which re-
suited in New Hanover Highs re-
moval from the Eastern A Confer
erce.
Lee Stone, coach of Raleigh
High, began the investigation on
McKoy, and was the main charac.
ter in the Wilmington quint's re.
ceiving the old 'heave-ho'.
Many of Wilmington's most
enthusiastic basketball fans will
probably follow Coach Brogden and
his cagers to the state capital, hop
ing to see the Cats administer on
the fifth place Raleigh five a more
humiliating setback than in the ini-
tial battle, because of Stones part
in having Wilmington thrown out
of the conference.
Commenting on the Cat-Cyclone
game, Friday, Brogden's brigade
exhibited a much better showing
than was previously expected Of
them. 1t was especially from the
foul zone, that the team showed
the most Improvement over their
past performances, making six out
of Il shots--a much better average
than the quint has shown most Of
the other tits.
The Wilson crew displayed a
very good offense in which Jay
Clark and Tunney Brooks did most
OF the shooting. Clark's wide varia-
ton Of shots baffled both Billy Lee
and Johnny McKoy, his guarders
as the high scorer of Wilson used
hooks, underhanders, Grips. and
everything in the book in racking
up his II point total for the night,
Billy Lees set shooting and w.
A. Browns ball handling were
once again the locals big scoring
weapon.
As for the last Raleigh game
Lee, Collie, and McKoy had no
trouble breaking up the Caps de-
tense for each Of them scored IA
points.
Whether the team will do as
well, Tuesday night, is doubtful
for Raleigh club has improved con-
siderably since the two squads
first game. Durham's victory over
them is an example. The Bulldogs
beat the Caps 20 points in their
tussle. but Durham won by only
Is. Friday.
The starting lineup for Raleigh
will probably be the same one that
was on the floor against Durham
1t was Cothran and Terrell at for
wards, Baise and Crosby at guards
and Pearson at center.
Although the Wildcats are not in
cluded in the conference standings.
their records against the league
opponents are as follows:
