COLUMBIA WILDCATS HOPE
TO BUILD ON SLOW BUT
SURE PLANE THIS SEASON


Columbia The "Wild CATS
Columbia High School football
team this year has the appearance
Ito the fans) of having good CO.
ordination, cooperation and team
spirit, with each player geared to
the job at hand for the good of
the team, and for a smile from
their coach, F. M. johnson; with
no thought of personal credit, nor
grand stand play. They seem to
move steady as to purpose in a
complete unit.
In the two games versus Plym-
outh and Edentbn JV's, with the
Wild Cats topping the score in
each instance, there was no out
standing spectacular player, but
several gained recognition by do
ing their bit across the goal line
Leonard Hassell, Monty Harrell,
Bobbie Furlough, Ronald Brick
house, Billy Hewlett and Harold
Sawyer. Not so good were they at
passing in the first game, but they
came through with some in the
Edenton game which were timed
and executed to add seven more
points to their score.
Although they lost Al yards in
penalties, most of which carse in
the first half of the Edenton
game, caused by someone wee
bit too anxious, after the half they
settled down to calm, purposeful
attitude, and pushed to final sue
cess.
The Wild Cat line seems to be
the best in approximately Is
years, or since the team, on which
played Marion Adams, Pug Combs,
Grady Ward and others. In most
instances the line seemed to with
stand force equal to battering
ram against Roman wall.
In the Plymouth game, with
temperatures soaring in the sos,
two of the players (there may
have been more) a guard and a
tackle, Morris G. Pritchitt Jr. and
]. D. McClough, had played
the full game with no time-out
except at the half, yet the line
held back the extra points on the
two touchdowns scored by Plym-
outh in the last five minutes of
the game.
During the games, when oppon-
ents pushed to their own goal line
too close for comfort, on the side
lines the fans were so tense that
there could be heard the deep
drawing in of breaths-and held,
fearful to exhale, lest the forced
air would tend to push them fur
Their to the goal. In most of these
instances Columbia's line did not
bend nor bulge.
The cheer leaders: Misses Jane
and Jack Harris, Grace Cohoon,
Pat Spencer, Peggy Davis, Janet
Copeland, Kay Nelson, Angela
Hopkins and Peggy Davenport,
kept the excited fans back of the
side lines, and did their bit of
encouragement through yells and
songs.

MANTEO LITTLE LEAGUE
CONCLUDES FIRST SEASON
WITH A GOOD RECORD

The Manteo Little league base
ball team, known as the Beach
combers", recently ended their
first summer-long program of or
ganized baseball. The team had a
season record of is victories and
5 defeats, the group being made
up of boys 9-12 from the Manteo,
Manns Harbor and Stumpy Point
areas. Financial assistance. at the
beginning of the year was given
by the Manteo Rotary Club, which
helped to buy needed catching
equipment, bats and balls.
Some fine ball was played by
this team, which played as many
night games as daytime games.
During the season the team had
3 no-hit victories to its credit, in
addition to two other shut-outs.
Weak in the hitting department at
the first of the season, the team
as whole improved, with Ray
White and Paul Mayo becoming
the teams two strong hitters. At
one time White had 800 average
for four games. Most hits scored
by the team in any one game was
10 against Swan Quarter in a
1877 victory. Only one hit was
scored in the last game of the
season against Coinjock, facing
the fine pitching of Danny Bal,
lance, which the team lost I'll. j.
Dickie Burrus was the outstand-
ing pitcher with an 81 record; he
also did some fine relief pitching
in other games. Burrus also play
! ed first base and caught during
the season. Butch Johnson, regular
catcher, also turned in good per-
Torrance in pitching, winning four
and losing two. Benny O'Neal had
record of two wins and two
losses, while Ray White, regular
third baseman, pitched in three
games, but received credit for only
one, a victory against Coinjock.
Burrus and johnson each had a
no-hitter, with both combining in
the first no-hitter, a 1910 victory.
Eddie Hooper, outstanding short
stop, was top defensive man,
handling an average of 9 out of
10 fielding attempts perfectly. He
also set up several double-plays
during the season. Each boy show
ed a lot of improvement during the
season and did a fine job at his
position. The starting lineup for
most of the games was as follows:
C, Butch Johnson; 1st base, Dickie
Burrus, End base, Chris Payne or
Dean Leary; SIS, Eddie Hooper;
3B, Ray White; IF, Paul Mayo;
CT, Freddie Combs RF, Francis
Cmobs. At a beach party held by
the team, Eddie Hooper was voted
most valuable player, with Burrus
close second, followed by Ray
White and Butch johnson.
The teams five defeats We're 2
to Wanchese; / each to Elizabeth
City Rotary Club, Elizabeth City
American Legion and Coinjock.
Victories were: Wanchese, 6;
Coinjock 3; Plymouth 2; Belhaven
2; Rotary Club 1; Swan Quarter 1.
The team was coached and man
aged by Sidney Shaw.

Noise can be legal nuisance

the idea Of holding her sight at

slight reduction in the strength

optometrist. we have talked to
an eye specialist. He informed
us that we should not attempt
these treatments. He assured us
that there is absolutely nothing
to be done for myopia; that as
long as our child is growing her
eyes will continue to worsen, and
that at the end of the growing
period. there may be a slight inn
provement. The optometrist pro-
uoses to treat her by reducing
the strength Of her lenses for
reading. by changing her reading
habits. more outdoor exercise.
and special eye-relaxing exer-
cises.
I'VE are very anxious to do
anything for her that is going

If it will not help her in any

ment has been proved to be at

Answer: Perhaps you missed
reading a recent column which
i devoted to the subject of
myopia. My conclusions were
that most top eye specialists
believe as your own eye doctor
does: that nothing can be done
for myopia that will halt or
.retard the progressive nearsight-
edness. Many fine optometrists I
know, also agree that it is not
fair to make promises for cure
