IN THE SPORTS PAN
BY Roy Cook

49,
The splendid record of the high flying Wildcat basket
hall team OF New Hanover High school this year reminds
uso If the last time, IL years ago, when the local high school
aooprs returned from Chapel Hill with the State Chamnion-
ship flag flying nigh.
'f Il was in 1923 the charges of coach Bob Black success
fuuy defended their state title against Winston-Salem. The
Wildcats won the state crown in 1928 and again the follow
,ng wear. Since that time, however, they have not even come
close to D aging at Chapel Hill.
Last year Coach Leon Brogden lead the Cats to victory
IN the Conference On a won and lost percentage basis. but
the Wildcats were ruled ineligible to participate in the
state championship match. According to many confused
reports, a Wilmington player was ruled Ineligible to plav in
conference games, and through some misunderstanding
Coach Brogden allowed the player to participate in one
contest. The final windup of the entire affair found Will
nington leading the conference, but Durham playing for
the state title.
But this year, everything has been checked and double
checked, New Hanover High will participate in the state
championship game or we miss our guess by a wide margin.
Getting back to the champions of yesteryear. We talk
ed with Tom Lawther, a member Of the 1923 squad that
won over Wlnston-Salem. Tom gave US a list of the PLAYERS
on Coach Bob Blacks champion Wildcats. Perhaps Won
remember some of the lads Earl Beale, Dan Jones, Bill
Rankin, Harold May, Buddy Davis, Charles Napier. Hay-
wood Davis, Roy Tienken, Billy Merritt and Tom Lawther.
All Wilmington is looking forward to the return of the
State championship flag to the halls of MINIS for the first
time in IS years.
Tennis-Glen Bloome, former New Hanover H;cb
school net coach was appointed to head the Tennis Advisory
council at the meeting held Tuesday night at the USO CEN
ter. This is the first step to bringing Wilmington up to
date in the tennis world. We used to have some very good
teams here several years ago. Bloome's high school girl
METERS provided some good games and if memory serves
us correctly Glen led the girls through several indicated
seasons. Jesse Reynolds has promised to aid in the build
ing OF additional courts and from all angles the tennis
outlook for this spring looks bright at the moment. We
hope the interest does not dim.
~Softball-Nothing has been heard from the softball
leagues this year, but you can wager your last donut that
at least a couple of fast leagues will be organized here
soon.
Baseoal-A meeting of the Cape Fear semi-pro loop
directors will be he'd next week to adopt schedules for
gregations will soon start plans for this wear and tho vii
mlngton Pirates are busy building their new park. It looks
like a banner diamond season this spring and summer
