about the same pace as the Hose a “sounding board” for administra-
, quint and it took two over time per
iods before the Blue team could fin- j

Paul Nye paced the victory for P.
C. by firing in 21 points.
Mercer Scrapes P.C.
. The P. C. hardwooders lost a heart
breaker to Mercer by the narrow
margin of 70 to 69. i
With Presbyterian holding on to
a 69 to 68 lead with ten seconds to
play a desperate Mercerian fired a
shot just about from the foul line
and the ball swished through thej
net just the time the final bell had;
sounded for the end of the game. ;
Kay Hill rammed in 19 points'for*
high scoring honors of the night, i
The game was on of a see saw
fashion with both teams rocking
back and fourth into the lead. After
the dirst quarter neither team had
a large margin other the other.
Groninger had a fair night with
16 tallies to his credit. Paul Nye
played his usual game as spark plug
of the team by good passing and!'
smart plays.
High , School Racks Up Wins
Clinton high school began showing
lots of improvement by rolling up
victories over Ford High School and
Ninety Sirf.
The Clinton girls took their third
win of the season over/Ninety Six
by a goodly margin of 28 to 10.
Mary Ellen Cannon was the high
scorer pf the night with ten points:
to her total. Cannon has shot 50 j
points exactly in the lasf seven tilts.,
Tot Anderson fired in six tallies,
Velda Farmer racked up five points
and Childress grabbed two while
Sarah Hollingsworth scored the re-
maming five dividends.
; ‘ The Boy’s game with Ninety Six
was ope of these thrillers which is
seldom $een but often read about.
.Captain Cotton Abrams shot in a
free throw with two minutes to play
and his Clinton team mates froze the
ball for the remaining minutes.
The Red Devils lead throughout
the game up until the time Ninety
Six tied up the game late in the
fourth and final quarter.
Alvin Jlampton and Lankey Long
meant ih.e difference in the two
te'ams by taking advantage of their
•heighth and ruling the rebounds not
~ inly under their own goal but also
under the opposition’s basket.
. Truman Owens shot in eight |-
-points to lead his team mates a in
'.♦heir victory. -This was Trumans
laid game of this season since he^
won’t be eligible for basketball in | .
the coming lialf of the season. Clin-|
ton will misfe Owen’s eye (of the bas
ket and it’s going to tie hard to re
place him. His successor is still a!

’ yB” Team Displays Talent
~Th^ Clinton high school “B’’ team
“The Pink Injps” showed up satis- (
factorily against the second team
from Ninety Six when the two teams
clashed at the half time period of |
the bigger games.
Billy Wtalkns proved to be the,
best ball handler. Watkins won aj
trophy in the midget football league!
for his outstanding paying ability
and it looks as though we’re going
to have an all around athlete out
of Billy before he’s handed his di
ploma from Clinton high school.

both real estate and personal property must be returned. This includes all
those who own automobiles and who are subject to poll tax—all male citi
