Three Monarch
Gridders Make
All-League Team
Mt. Gilead Withdraws
From Loop Effective
At End of Basketball

Marysville High School landed
three players on the Mid-State
League "all-star" team selected
by the coaches of the League in
a meeting in Marion, last week.
&Three more Monarch gridders
@sade the all-League second team
2d two were on the honorable
Ssehtion list.
During the meeting, Mt Gilead
officially announced it is with
drawing from the Mid-State Lea
que at the close of the current
basketball season.
Marysville footballers making
the all-League first team were
John Dayton, Loren Grimes and
Harold Hill. Tom Baldwin, Ted
Amrine and Bill Palmer were
placed on the second team, while
James Hoffman and Howard Hill
were given honorable mention.
Carey Dominates League
The championship>Carey team
dominated all-League selections
with six players on the mythical
first team. Marion st. Mary had
two picked for the honor and Mt.
Gilead, one. Redwood failed to
place a single player on the first
team, despite the fact that most
fans considered Redwood to have
the best back in the League this
season.
Greatest surprise in the all-star
selections was the fact that YER
non (Chippy Chapman, Rich
woods great fullback, was left
off the first team even though
five backs were honored with
farst-team berths. Chapman was
an outstanding ball carrier all
season long and a definite threat
to every team on the Tigers
schedule.
Mt. Gilead Tired of Losing
Mt. Gilead gave as its reason
for pulling out of the League
>R> fact that it has won but one
61 fetball and one football game
s7cah League teams in three sea-
sons. ''We just don't like taking
those beatings week after week,
and the boys get discouraged, !"
Mt. Gilead officials remarked,
Two other schools are being
considered for membership in the
League, but representatives of the
four remaining schools were un-.
able to arrive at an agreement
on Mt. Gilead's successor last
week. Acting League President
Paul Wenzel, of Marysville, has
called a special meeting for Dec.
13 to thresh the matter out.
Selections for the all-League
teams follow:

PLAY Tonight

Los Angeles, Dec. 28-(AP)-
The second annual Los Angeles
College Invitational Basketball
Tournament gets underway to-
night with two Of the finest
teams in the country, North Car
oina State and Wyoming, tang
ling in the feature game of a
triple-header.
Marshall College Of Hunting
ton, viva, plays Pepperdine of
Los Angeles. and Hamline of
St. Paul meets Loyola Of Los
Angeles.
Two other entrants, Brigham
Young Of Utah and the Universi-
ty Of Montana, see their first ac-
ton tomorrow night.
Marshall defeated Syracuse,
46-44, in the finals last year, but
Coach Cam Henderson lost sew
eral good players. Gene
(Goose) James, center and vot-
ed the outstanding player a
year ago, is back, however, and
Marshall figures to make it
rough for the rest of the field.
Most observers think the win
ner Of the North Carolina State
Wyoming game may win tn e
tournament. Everett Case has
10 lettermen back on this barn
storming tour, including Dick
Dickey, an outstanding forward.
Star of the Wyoming cowboys
is Ron Livingstone, a center who
stands 6 feet 10 inches, and
John Pilch, towering guard.
Loyola, just back from a sue
cessful midwestern invasion,
should give the Hamline Peppers
hot battle, and the same goes
for Pepperdine against Marshall.

Rose Bowl
Coaches Hope
For Sunshine

Pasadena, Calf, Dec. %
APP - The two Rose Bowl
coaches are going to be unhappy
if the Tournament of Roses sun
shine luck runs out new years
day.
A long range forecast has not
been issued as yet, but amateur
predicters, watching the rain
pelt Southern California yester-
day, began to worry that the
California-Northwestern contest
may be a battle of the mud.
Both coaches, Bob Voigts OF
Northwestern and Lynn Waldorf
of the California Bears, are on
record as praying for clear skies
and fast field.
This is a big game, and rain
and mud will simply ruin it for
the players and the spectators.
1t will just be tough luck if it
does come up bad weather."
said Voigts. The same senti-
ments came from Pappy Wal
dorf.
The Wildcats did not play a
single game in the mud this
season. They have practiced
several times in the muck, how
overwhelming yesterday.
The Rose Bowl for years has
enjoyed amazing luck in the
weather line. Actually, the
last time it let loose from above
was the 1884 game, which is
known as the year of the big
flood. 1t is also well remem-
bered for Columbia's 70 upset
via the ancient hidden ball trick
over a heavily favored stanford
eleven.

First Contest
For Local
Independents


Rapids independent basketball
squad, got back to work ! a 81
night and the Yellow Jackets Of
Roanoke Rapids High School
started post Christmas practice
today for 4 meeting Of the two
teams here Thursday night a I
eight o'clock at the armory.
For the Aces Thursday night
will be their first competition OF
the cage season, and they are
expected to put up quite battle
against the Jackets, who have
already played five games.
Both squads were put through
their PAGES unlimberinE some OF
the Christmas holiday kinks in
preparation for the signal to 60
on Thursday evening. Arrange
ments for the game were settled
over Christmas between the Ac-
es and Coach Marvin Woodland,
high school cage mentor.
The Aces will have plenty Of
height and experience represent
ed on their team, since nearly
all the Independents are holders
Of Roanoke Rapids High School
monograms in basketball and
others have won their letters
and numerals in college. Their
biggest drawback is that they
have not been working together
nearly as long as the high school
squad, and they will be seeking
to perfect their team play in the
game against the local high
schoolers.
Several of the Aces were last
seen in action on the local hard
wood court here two years ago
when the Jaycees sponsored the
Blue Phantom team in the Goob-
er Belt semi-pro loop. This year
the boys have gotten bright new
red uniforms complete with the
T-shirt jerseys and have added
a lot Of new men to the squad
TO put on the floor one Of the
stronger independent teams n
this section. The team has been
out since early in De-
cember under the titelage Of
coach Fleetwood Sullivan, an
other former Roanoke Rapids
High School cage star, and they
say they'll be ready to 60 Thurs
lay.
Combining youth stamina and
speed the Yellow Jackets, who
nave dropped three and won two
contests played so far, will be
out trying Thursday to bring
their record back to three-all by
defeating the Aces before they
plunge into their regular North
eastern Confere ence sched-
lle next Tuesday night. The JAG
kets have victories over Weldon
and AureGan Springs to their
credit, but they were shaded in
games with Needham Broughton
of Raleigh and a pair Of con-
tests with the strong Bethel
High School team. The Jackets
added two games to their sched-
ule to play after the school start
ID the Christmas holidays.
The Jackets last appeared in
action in Bethel on December
II, SO after nearly a weeks rest
for enjoying Christmas they
were called back to action this
by Coach Woodland in
order to start preparing for
Thursday evenings contest with
the independents.
A large crowd is anticipated
for the game here, with jump
ball time set at eight o'clock.

Talking Book Program Provides
Literature for the Blind

GONE II YEARS AGO,
~ when Thomas Edison in
vented the phonograph, he
uttered a thought which gives
him stature as a prophet as
well as inventor.
This machine" he said, in
effect, would be dandy for
recording books for the blind"
That idea crystallized many
years later-in 1894, to be
exact-when the Library of
Congress began its Talking
Book program to supplement
what was being done for the
blind with books in braille.
Since then, 1,400 different
books have been recorded, in
Guiding the Bible.
The program, stumbling
alOng IOr years on meager
funds, is now booming under
the impetus of a million dollar
appropriation from the Eigh-
tieth Congress. The Library's
Division for the Blind now
has $4,000 talking book ma
chimes in use throughout the
country and hopes in a few
years to have 65, 900. A recent
offshoot of the program is the
recording of textbooks.
The machines are fur
nished free to the blind. The
recordings are lent by libra
ries just like any ordinary
book and for the same length
of time. They are mailed out
in leather containers, going
post-free. There are Is dis
tributing points throughout
Evening star., 1948-05-30

the country-libraries in key
cities which keep a steady
supply Of talking books flow
ing into the hands of the
sightless. The District, Mary
land, Virginia and North
South Carolina area is taken
care of by the Library of Con-
gress itself, which in March
alone sent out about 5000
containers. The Library also
co-ordinates the program ma
tionally.
The average book consists
of 20 records, with two sides
to a record. These records are
recited at the rate of 165
words per minute, slightly
less than half the silent read
ing speed of the average
sighted person.
The blind listeners have
their own favorites among
the professional. radio an
nouncers who do most of the
reading and are not at all
reluctant about writing in
their comments to the Lii
brary. Sometimes the notices
aren't of the rave Variety
Much of the administrative
work of keeping readers lists
and catalogue cards and pre-
pairing the records and con-
tainers for shipment is done
by six blind employees of the
Library, who work alongside
sighted personnel.
The books to be recorded
are chosen on the basis of
suggestions from the libra

rians in the key distributing
centers and from the blind
themselves. They are split
half-and-half between cur
rent best sellers and classics.
One recurring problem Is
what to do about books con-
tanning pithy words of the
non-parlor variety, says Ken
ophon Smith, director of the
Division for, the Blind.
After ALL" he says, I'VE
can't presume to censor books
for the blind; we can't refuse
to give them certain books
simply because they contain
eyebrow-raising passages. We
do try, however, to give them
worthwhile books and to
avoid those books which are
smart just to be smart"
One possible solution Is an
earpiece device, similar to a
physicians stethoscope which,
when fitted into the talking
book machine, cuts OF the
loudspeaker. BY using this
device a blind listener can
hear a book without subject
ing the rest of the family to
some very highly seasoned
prose.
But how" asks Mr.. Smith.
ARE we going to warn lis
teners that such-and-such a
book calls for the earphones
without starting such a run
on that book that we couldn't
meet the demand? Blind
readers. you see, are very
much like the others."-s. B.
