congratulations are in order

Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards probably
will feel lost after losing both

Many wishes for a happy

that Ann Grizzard was leading
with at the Elizabeth City-Roa-

I'm afraid that if a bet

would have ended up with a
scoreless game. even though
the Jackets did hold their op-
ponents in a scoreless position
they only managed to get
in one touchdown and l
believe Earl Rock was little
surprised to find himself across
for touchdown, too.
Deepest sympathy is expressed
for the family of Mr.. N. B.

 Logan got the spectacular play under way in the first of the sec ond inning when he robbed Mac Donald of cinch hit by scoopine up one of the ''impossibleY. catches midway into left field. Not to be outdone, Fox Mcdonald, hurl- ing for the Legion, picked up Lo- gan's bunt the next time at bat faked throw to first, and pulled the wool completely over Stls Houston's eyes to catch him half way between third and home. In the last of the fifth, the Fox sprinkled more salt in the Elk wound by spinning around fast on the mound to catch Logan asleep on second.
 And coincidentally enough, it was Logan caught stealing home when Brown tossed decoy to sec on and had it back at the plate waiting for Lcsan to slide But despite the cagey antics of the Legion, the Elks brought in the runs.
