Hill, Chief Justice,
dissenting.
I would affirm the trial court’s order granting judgment on the pleadings to the Scarboroughs as I agree with the trial judge that the covenant not to compete is too broad, vague and indefinite to be enforced. I focus particularly on the following language: “The State Di*470rector agrees not to compete ... in any manner whatsoever with National Teen-Ager Company nor to engage in any like or similar business. . . .” National Teen-Ager should not be permitted at this point to narrow the scope of this overly broad covenant to teen-aged female pageants and should not be permitted to define, so as to suit its own purpose, this vague and indefinite restriction.
Decided June 19, 1985.
England & Weller, J. Melvin England, for appellant.
William A. Dinges, for appellee.
