King, Cooper Promise
Fast Feather Fight
Al Turner 'sShow

. Two fast local featherweights,
Puggy King and Jimmy Cooper,
head tomorrow nights fight card at
Turner's Arena. They go at each
other for eight rounds, or less. in a
repeat performance of the draw of
six rounds last month. That en-
eaeement was by far the best prelim
seen so far this year and as a feature
bout figures ito attract goodly
crowd to the Fourteenth and w
streets plant.
Both are barely out of amateur
ranks, but their lack Of professional
experience wasn't noticeable IN their
last outing. They supplied furious
action all the way, King working
well with both hands in a body at
tack and Cooper supplying speed
and a particularly effective left Jab.
King hurt the knuckles on both
hands with his hard punching in
that fight, but wasn't able to floor
Cooper as he had done all previous
opponents.
Kings professional record shows
four one-round knockout wins and
two draws. Aside from Cooper, he's
drawn against Red Gaddis, but
chilled Red in the first heat OF a
return. Cooper had only two pro
fights, winning both, before going
to the draw against King. He was
underdog in that bout, but off the
showing then probably will be no
worse than an even choice tomor-
row night.
Red Gaddis and Kid Alexander
will vie in the f1ve-round seminal
while another f1ve-round bout finds

NeyIand's Vols Rally
To Beat vandy, III,
For Third in Row
By the Assoeiofsd Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. "a
scrapping Tennessee football team

A partisan throng Of $4,000
cheered the Vols to their third
straight victory and their fifth Of
what has been the worst season in
is years of coaching for Gen. Bob
Neyland.
Tennessee's line, with seven
senior forwards playing their last
game for the Vols, spelled the diff
ference between the two highly
keyed elevens. The Vol linemen
repeatedly outcharged the Vandy
line. Often they spilled Commodore
passers before they could throw
the ball.
After battling to a stalemate in
the first period, Vanderbilt struck
first early in the second period.
Halfback Bobby Berry, whose runs

faded back for pass, tented and
sprinted SO yards down the side
line for a touchdown. Zack Clinard,
Vandy's ace kicker, converted from
placement.
Tennessee came back and
marched 81 yards from the kickoff
for its first score. j. B. Proctor, a
Nashville youth, sparked the drive,
pitching one pass to End Jim
Powell for 18 yards and another to
the same wingman for II. Proctor
then hit Halfback Bob Lund on
the goal line for the score. Hal
Littlefords placement was wide.
The Vols scored early in the third
period, Littleford taking Com
modore punt on his own 81, re-
versing his field and racing So yards
down the sideline for the touch

played a magnificent game at tackle

SOUTHPORT, June Is - Setting
a mark for fancy flyrod artists
to shoot at and miss, also to create
envy among the plug casters,
Clarence Jones, colored employee
OF Orion Plantation, hooked and
landed ar eight pound bass one
day this week. His tools were a
worm, a more or less rotten line
and a cane fishing pole that was
smaller than his thumb. To get
that fish Clarence had to put forth
as much skill and patience as any
flyrod sportsman ever had.
From down at Shallotte Point
comes a picture and a report of
eleven year old Glenn Milliken
catching a six pound founder with
a hand line. A picture of the fish
and boy was sent along. A six
FOUNDER may not be such a large
fish but this one shows that there
are still some budding sportsmen
among the small barefoot boys. To
Glenn the six FOUNDER was some
fish.
Calling around where a reporter
hangs his hat when it is not on
his head, Luther Holden of Holden's
Beach reported today that Johnny
Mcneil of Lumberton hooked and
landed five trout, weighing from
5 to TX pounds each. That's a
pretty good catch for any country
boy. All the better when it took
him only a very short time. He
was fishing at Holden's Beach.

ONLY SMALL FRY
Special to the Star

SOUTHPORT, June 25.-Witn
some doubts existing regarding
whether it is really a strike, the
Southport shrimp fishing industry
is now having a most unusual tie
up. Not 4 boat went out 10 shrimp
Tuesday and the general claim is
that none will go out until next
Tuesday. Upon the conditions they
find then will depend whether or
not the tie-up will continue longer
Making fairly good catches for
the past several weeks, at least
making wages and a bit over while
waiting for the shrimp to show up
more numerously, the trawlers
went out Monday and ran into a
lot Of small shrimp. There was
the usual amount of marketable
product but entirely too much of
the small fry. To continue traw-
ling operations meant much dis
Effectiveness and the boat owners
and operators promptly decided,
with one accord. to throw in the
sponge and quit until the small
stuff got out of the way.
It was decided to allow the small
shrimp a full week to get off the
TRAVELLING grounds. At the end of
that time if they are still there the
tie-up will be prolonged. If the
small shrimp have moved on fish
ing will start up again where it left
off Tuesday,.

ONLY SMALL FRY
Southport S~hnmpers Halt
7rawling UNTIL Next Week

There is more to this voluntary
tle-up than appears on the surface.
To continue operations now would
give the boatmen wages and the
fish houses profit. At the same
it would destroy thousands of BUSH
els OF very small shrimp that will
grow into hundreds of thousands
OF bushels of a marketable pro-
duct through being unmolested.
These small shrimp that the South
port fishermen are now letting
pass Owe their trawling grounds
will appear again later, at some
other point on the coast-to the
benefit of the fishermen at those
points and not to the benefit of
the men who are sparing them
here at Southport.
There aye no laws to force the
boatmen to lay off from fishing.
Years ago the North Carolina De-
partment of Conservation and De-
velopment asked the men to do
what they personally could, during
any situation that arose, in the in
terests of conservation. They are
meeting that request more than
half way.

the total catch is not SO apt to run
