Bobby Ross, the hard-driving fullback who played in
the Shrine Bowl classic at Charlotte, has been voted as the
most valuable member of Durham Highs grid squad.
And while we are on the subject Of athletics at Durham
High, here is a hot tip: don't be surprised if Carey L. Brew
baker takes over Fred Emmersons job next year. Brew
baker recently returned from a long hitch in the Navy and
was made Dean of Boys, only because it was the most
attractive post open. Before the war he was head pilot of
the Bulldogs. Then during the war, Emmerson was OBJ
tanned. Now Brewbaker is back and will settle for nothing
less than Emmerson's job.
We hear Louis (Bubba) Sykes, star on this years
MINIS eleven, may enter West Point next year. Too, this
pillar knows Douglass Clyde (Peahead) Walker and his
talent scouts at Wake Forest are impressed with Sykes,
as well, as little Jimmy Piner, ballhawking fullback.

Nick Sacnnty, captain at Wake Forest last year and one of the
finest pigskin passers in Dixie this season, leaves tomorrow to
participate in the annual EastWest grid feature to be staged at San
Francisco on New Years Day.

Since We chrOniced a column on Father Allan Roche
several days ago, this operator has received many favorable
comments from our, dear readers. And it has been sug-
gested that Father Roche, who has worked so diligently
with the "Silver Gloves" be considered for the "Young Man
of The Year" honor, which is sponsored by the Wilmington
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
Do YOU agree. readers?
