The Devilettes, playing without
the services of high-scoring Alice
Ann Horne, dropped the initial
tilt of the evening by a score of
1874 to the Clinton lassies.

ties that she will be in the lineup
for the Whiteville encounter on
Friday night.

hind the shooting of Nell Parsons
and Faye Williamson and never
relinquiShed it as they won their
second game of the season. Par
