A football g on a

night at New Hanover Highs

fans who viewed the struggle
a well-rounded demonstration
of football tactics that I'M
doubtedly have the local play
ers doctoring bruises this
morning.
In giving an account of last
nights contest it, is best to talk
about the basketball side first and
the football display second.
In the cage category the local
cagers grabbed an impressive 40
lead in the opening period, forged
further ahead, 1863, by halftime,
held their own, 40-19 in the third
~stanza, and coasted in for the 51-39
finish.
Wake Forest controlled the back
boards last night, forcing the Col
lege Center to shoot accurately the
first time if they were to score.
On the other hand, the visitors had
innumerable scoring opportunities,
but missed shot after shot until the
second half in which they tailed
30 points to the College Center's
25.
AS for the football show Will
mington fans saw scrambles on the
floor, Helmet players knock a Col

partially opened door, the visitors
throw body blocks, and even a little
tripping. OF course these acts add

Wake Forest fouled % times, three
Helmet players fouled out of the
game, and Wilmington was given

only nine. Two technicals were
called also by referees Jimmy
Moore and Sam Johnson, one on
Wake Forest and one on the Col
lege Center, as tempers flared.
Leading the scorers were "Bub-
bles" Baublis, Wake Forest for
ward, who tailed 16 points, and
Wilmington's Doug Pridgen, who
hit the net for 16 markers.

FAMILY REUNION HELD AT
HOME OF FREEZING
MULLINS

Anyone passing along the high
way in front of the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. F. (Freeling) Null
ms on the Clintwood Coeburn
highway Sunday might have
thought from the number of
parked cars that a funeral or a
memorial meeting was in prog
ress. However, it was the 18th
annual reunion of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mullins and their seven sons and
four daughters and all their off
springs, most joyous occasion
and one that those Immediately
concerned look forward to from
year to year.
On this occasion, the old folks
prepare their home cooked VIC
tuals and the sons and daughters
and grandchildren bring the re-
freshments for the all-day meet
ing.
Freezing and his wife are both
u. Both are natives of the Sec
ton where they live. He served
one term as commissioner of the
revenue for the western district
of the county, when the county
had two commissioners. Other
wise he has literally and truly
lived by the sweat of his brow,
aided by his faithful wife.
The weather was rather bad
Sunday for a gathering of the
kind, but they all managed to
get inside the house and on the
porch and the reunion was heart
lily enjoyed by all, particularly
by the old folks who were clad
to see their numerous family
again.
Members of the Mullins fam
lily attending this reunion were:
Ivan Mullins and family, Mrs.
Reed Alsop and family, Clyde
Mullins and family, from Jenk-
ms, XII; Ernest Mullins and fam
lily, Greasy Creek, KY; Mrs.

were 80 grandchildren and two
