At 1880 p. m. next Tuesday in
the Manteo high school gymna-
SUM a titanic struggle between
undefeated basketball teams is
scheduled to take place. The Man
teo Lions Club will square off, or
kick off, or at least begin a game
with the Wanchese Ruritan Club.
The last defeat suffered on the
court by the Lions goes back be-
yond the available records, and it
is the proud boast of the Wan
cheese Ruritans that never since
it's organization has it ever lost
basketball game. 1t is even said
that the Wanchese Champions
have never been scored upon. The
winner of the game will play the
Manteo Town girls team immedi-
ately following the first contest
or as quickly thereafter as the
winners can be revived.
The entire proceeds of the game
will be given to the Dare county
March of Dimes. It is hoped that
a large crowd will attend the
doubleheader, either to see the
brilliant court tactics that are sure
to be displayed by these flashy
squads-or simply to see Melvin
Daniels, Dee Rogers, Steve Tillett
and Frank Cahoon strutting their
their stuff in a pair of basket
ball shorts. The unprecedented
display of male pulchritude that
will be on exhibition next Tues

day night will probably never a.
gain be on exhibition to the pub
lic-and the March of Dimes is
to have the benefit of this once
in-a-lifetime exhibition.
The second game, between the
winners and the Manteo town
girls, will be played under the
girls rules, and it is possible that
the unfamiliarity of the great
players of the mems teams with
those rules may reduce the raz-
zle-dazzle of their highly potent
and awe-inspiring offenses. But
the managers of both teams as
sure the public that they are GER
tain that their teams can be of
fensive enough to satisfy anyone,
no matter what rules govern the
game.
Ruritan Squad
Melvin R. Daniels, captain and
scoring ace of the Ruritan team,
listed his squad members this
week as follows: H. o. Bridges,
ex-Navy hoopster of great re-
nown; James w. Davis, former
Coast Guard ace; C. w. Guthrie,
all-around court tactician; R. H.
Gray, said to be slippery as oil
on the court; Jesse Etheridge,
whose one-handed shots from the
corners seem to be guided to the
basket; Reggie Tillett, H. L. Da-

HOME BIB SEASON
CLOSED TUESDAY
WITH TWO WINS

Manteo high school closed it's
home basketball season Tuesday
night with a pair of decisive VIC
tories over the South Mills
teams. On Friday night the boys
and girls teams, undefeated all
season in Rural Albemarle Con-
ference play, will put their per-
feet records on the line against
their bitterest conference compel
itors, the Moyock squads. Both
games are expected to be tightly
contested, and because of the dis
puted victory the Manteo girls
won from the Moyock team at
Manteo early in the year, the hard
est kind of battling is expected on
the opposing teams court. Every
Manteo fan who can possibly
make the trip should see these
games-sure to be among the best
of the season-and have his lungs
in good shape to cheer on the
Manteo teams before the hostile
crowd.
The girls game Tuesday was a
simple case of too much class, or
of too feeble opposition. Every
player on the Manteo squad saw
action, about 20 in all, and Coach
Ayers team won about as it pleas
ed, 41-13. Scoring was divided as
follows. Marie Etheridge, IA
points; Betty Rae Sanderlin, g.;
Carolyn Gaskill, Loretta Midget
and Leila Ward, 4 apiece; Linda
Gaskill, 8. The Manteo guards
kept the South Mills fore court
players completely throttled
throughout.
Although Manteo boys jumped
off to a commanding lead, South
Mills rallied and made close
game of it until near the end of
the contest. In the last few min
utes the locals pulled away and
were in front 1898 at the final
whistle. Jack Cahoon led scorers
of both teams with 16 counters.
Six of the ten men who saw SER
vice for Coach Fry's squad scor-
ed at least four points. Sawyer,
forward, rang up IA markers for
the losers.

WARD HOPES FOR
EARLY PROGRESS
ON OREGON INLET
Manteo Spark-PIug of Vital
Project in Dare County
Begins New Battle

Encouraged by the response of
Federal government agencies to
his reminder that the proposed
opening of Oregon Inlet to sea-
going vessels was approved by
the National Defense department
when the matter was under in
vestigation three years ago, AL
yah H. Ward, chairman and main
spring of the organization that
saved the project in 1913 has this
week re-activated his organization
and after a preliminary explora-
ton of the possibilities, is regain
ing his optimism.
Three years ago when Ward
and his co-laborers bestirred
themselves the Army Engineers
were in the midst of preparing
an adverse report on the project
as not feasible. After three
months work brief was submit
ted to the Engineers who then
reversed themselves and adopted
the brief as their report with the
Recommendation to Congress that
it be contaminated Immediately.
Ward and his organization were
able to show the engineers that
the benefits accruing would pay
for the dredging in one year, with
a margin to spare.
Not only was it demonstrated
that the project was sound from
an economic standpoint, but it
was endorsed by he Navy Depart
ment as desirable from the stand
point Of National defense when
the Navy remembers the hazards
encountered in rescue operations
off Cape Hatteras in 1912 when
shipping valued at seven hundred
million dollars was lost, together
with more than 1000 lives and
with no base of rescue operation
nearer than Hampton Roads, go
miles to the north. Navy endorse
ment was written by Vice-Admir-
al Arthur w. Radford, then dep
uty chief Of operations.

Celebrating Scots Fail

police, alert for any telltale tips
that might uncover the stolen
Stone of Scone, watched thou
sands of grinning Scotsmen sing
in the New Year last night with
special zest in jam-packed Plea

But the relic is still missing.
A Scot in full clan regalia-kilt
swirling and Glengarry at rak-
ish angle-was cheered as he
poised unsteadily at the foot Of
the famed Eros statue in the CEN
ter of the square.
A rocket zoomed skyward at the
stroke of midnight. Scotsmen and
Englishmen joined hands, bawled
Aud Lang Syne" and wished
each other a. happy new year.
Slashing rain a few minutes
later drove the crowd to shelter.
Not one incident was reported.
If hundreds of police in and
around the square heard anything
to clear up the coronation stone
mystery" there was no sign of it
as dawn broke.
The 458-pound block Of sand
stone-symbol of Scottish great
ness in the eyes Of Scottish Ma
tionaliSts-was removed from
Westminster Abbey Christmas
morning.
Rewards totalling $500 pounds
($4,2O0) are offered for any one
who can produce the tip that leads
