moralization and collapse of the
Confederate cause west Of the
Mississippi.
sgt. Fay and his family lived
in Minden. La. where he was
headmaster of a school before the
war. His letters were written to

Chapel Hills rebounding was
perhaps the brightest aspect Of
the teams play. Juniors Bill Bow
erman, Brick Oettinger, Dave
Henry, and Stafford Warren were
sweeping balls off the boards at
a rapid clip. Offensive rebound
ing was particularly outstanding
The hot shooting of Oettinger in
the first quarter got CHHS off to
good start, and teammates Subir
Roy, Henry, and Bowerman soon
followed suit.
Roy wound up as high scorer
with IA markers. He hit a couple
of nice jump shots, connected on
three driving layups from the
floor, and made four of seven free
throws.
Oettinger followed with nine
taliies-all scored in the first half

The l7-point victory margin
posted by Chapel Hill Highs bas-
ketball outfit over Garner Friday
night here in the campaign opener
was impressive, though the Wild
cats overall play wasn't particu-
larly so.
After rolling up a 1912 halftime
lead in commendable fashion,
Coach Bob Culton's cagers fell lax
after intermission and were out
ayed for most of the second half.
A cold streak at the free throw
line in the third quarter enabled
Garner to creep up a little, though
the visitors were having troubles
of their own in shooting from the
floor.
CHHS travels to Graham to-
morrow Tuesday night for their
