HANOVER CACERS
IN SEASON FINAL
Brogden Team Concludes
Cage Wars For 1916 With
Outstanding Record
BY GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer

The Wilmington Wildcat basket
ball team will close its l946 cage
season tonight at 800 in the MINIS
gymnasium, meeting the strong
Y.M.C.A. Varsity.
The scheduled game with Fay
etteville High was called off by the
Bulldogs, who were the only re.
naming opponents for the charges
of Coach Leon Brogden. Therefore
the local quint, probably the best
In the state, lose their chance to
prove to the Eastern Conference
members that they are the real
champions of Eastern North Caro-
lima.
Having splendid record in the
loop of nine wins against only one
defeat the Wildcats hang up their
basketball equipment tonight.
Wilson, which is tied with Dur.
ham for the league crown at pres
ent, fell before the Cats twice, ~
to % and 35 to 33. No other team
has beaten the Cyclones two times.
Also on the list of Wilmington
achievements is the Durham vic.
tory, which saw the Collie, Feanell,
McKoy, Brown, and Lee combina.
ton topple one of the states best
fives, q to IA.
1t has been great year for Will
mington basketball even though the
Hanover squad was thrown out Of
the conference on a 'technicality'.
The team was supported excep-
tionally we'll by local fans as the
MINIS gym was packed to the brim
at all the conference fracases.
Coach Leon Brogdea, along with
his assistant. Ton Davis, have done
a good job in turning out this sea-.
sons fine basketball team, and with
only two boys on the squad, Billy
Lee and 'Hacksaw' Tuttle gradual
ing this semester should have the
nucleus for another fine club next
year.
Back for varsity berths next sea.
son will be regulars Luke Collie,
Toddy Fenaell, w. A. Brown, John
ny McKoy, Don Hyatt, Charlie
Smith, Tinkey' Rogers, Johnny
Crowley, Leroy Towles, and E. A.
Thomas plus a galaxy of Junior
Varsity stars.
AS for tonights curtain closer,
the team will meet Y.M.C.A. five
composed of such cagers as Leon
ard Legs McKoy, Walter Deal, R.
L. Church, Carl Mason, and Billy
Pieper. All of these basketeers saw
action at NHHS during their high
school days, and are expected to
make the Cats closing contest a
thriller.
Brogden's usual starting quint
will probably take the floor at
starting time, but Smith, the No.
reserve, may take over McKoy's
center post from where he played
a big part in the locals narrow
win over Raleigh High in the final
quarter.

NEW YORK, Feb. 81. - R -
They're unveiling the postwar Gus
Lesnevich for the local fight stu
dents in Madison Square, Garden
Friday night III a ten-rounder with
heavyweight Lee Oma, and along
cauliflower concourses they tell you
it's the tip off that the ight-heavy-
weight boss is about ready to move
in among the big boys for keeps.
This is not tc say that the blonde
Russian from New Jersey is about
to toss his crown out among the 175-
Founders because Gus figures on at
least one title defense, probably
outdoors this summer.
Gus figures that up among the
heavyweights they pay higher by
the pound. So, at 80, and with four
years in the Coast Guard benlnd
him, he's looking ahead to some
heavyWeight-s sized paydays.

PENSACOLA LEADER

PENSACOLA, Fla, Feb. 21-P)
Willie Goggin, 40-year-old pro
from White Plains, N. Y, fired a
six-mder-par 66 today to take a
two-stroke lead in the initial round
of the $500 Pensacola open golf
tournament.
The surprise of the opening round
was not the play of the venerable
Goggin( but the collapse of the re-
doubtable Byron Nelson, the shot
master from Toledo, Ohio. Nelson
went out in 38, two over, and came
back in 81 for rs and a Sind place

Eleven Lettermen From
l945 Squad Returning
For 1916 Team

New Hanover baseball candidates
will report today for the first dia-
mond drills of the season, New Han
over officials announced last night
The teams will start drills at five
this afternoon at the 18th and Anr
practice field. The field has beer
worked on all week and should
be in passable shape for the frs
workouts.
Head Coach Brogden, who coach
ed Wilson to one of the best seasons
in the schools history last year
believes he has plenty of material
on hand to make winning ball
club.
Returning from last seasons nine
are Harry Smith, 'Tinkey' Rogers.
j. c. Price, Hacksaw' Tuttle,
Louis Collie, Teddy Fennell, Hal
Sharpe, Dunk Futrell, Donald Ed.
wards, Levy Heath, and Jim Glib
son.
Expected. to turn out for the
pitching staff are Kenneth Rogers,
Herman Wick, Football Smith, w.
A. Brown, and Billy Hardison.
At present the coaches have no
definite idea of who will fill the
various spots on the team, but
believes the lineup will shape up
well with the talent on hand.
The club has plans of using the
American Legion Stadium for their
games, since the 18th and Ann
field, which was used all last sea-
son, has limited seating.
New uniforms have also been Or.
dered for the nine, so when the
Cat sluggers trot out onto the sod
in March, they will be big i'm
provement over the sad AS group.

mand for admission despite the
fact that many had boosted prices.

JAYVEES LOSE TWO
BASKETBALL GAMES

The New Hanover High School
Junior varsity continued their los
ing streak yesterday evening, fall
ing before the First Presbyterian
quint, 2 to 3, in the first game Of
doubleheader. The Jayvee re-
serves were crushed in the second
scheduled tilt by the smooth play
ing Nesbitt Court club, 3 to %,
as little Jimmy Stoudemire of the
Courters, poured 2 points through
the basket to pace the winners.
The first fracas saw tw strong
teams playing defensive ball with
the lead changing time and again.
Coach Wallace Vests cagers held
eight to six first quarter mar
gin, but the Presbyterians fought
to a 3 to halftime deadlock. The
Jayvees put on the steam in the
third period to hold a 5 to 3 ad-
vantage, only to see Leroy Towles,
varsity player, take the contest
into his own hands to score four
points in the closing minutes Of
the affray, putting the clincher on
the 2 to 3 triumph.
Mike Austin once more paced
the Junior varsity in the scoring
department with eight markers
while Jimmy mole West and
Towles tied for point-making
honors for the Presbyterians with
eight each.
In the second battle of the twin
bill, the Junior varsity reserves
found smaller, but faster and
better drilled Nesbitt Court too
much for them, as they lost a 3 to
% contest.
Mustard Mathis hard-fighting
youngsters were ahead at the half
by count of 9 to nine and at the
end of third stanza, 80 to
Jimmy Stoudemire, 5 feet, )
inches, guard of the Courters'
proved deadly on his foul shots

in scoring with three baskets.

 Dear Sir.
 Would like 10 inquire your readers why the City does not buy the telephone company now Una. they are offered the opportunity to purchase it at a fair price. As understand it. the owners are of fering it to the City for less than a quarter of what it would inyen- tory at today's prices.
 l. for one taxpayer, move that the City purchase it. thereby solv- ing a lot of our telephone prob lens for the following reasons:
 1 To hold down rates
 ?. To give the kind of service desired by the subscribers.
 3. With City ownership, in con- junction with the Light Plant, bu ing of materials would decrease the cost of material needed for fuller operation of the telephone system
 l. With City ownership the tele- rhona company would not have to pay faxes. license fees and numer- ous other charges imposed on q private owner, thereby increasing it's present revenue.
 ,. With public ownership the rates could be set at a point just to cover operating costs and main tenance. Making ! profit would not be necessary.
 6. With City ownership of an established business individual subscribers could have the type of telephone they desire and at a far faster installation time The pres ent owner has indicated he has not the necessary capital to pur- chase such equipment.
 How about a petition to get the publics opinion as to whether the people of the town want to buy this local plant while we have the opportunity?
