“H I wtn In Chicago I wkhiW b#
going ovor to the atadium to watch
a hockey game, or mebbe a basketball
battle.’* said one of my northern
frieiide the other evening. •All you
can do down here is to play bridge
or go ta a movie.”
• • • •
Which was the signal for md to
acqoabit my Yankee pal with some of
the things 1 have learned since lirtng
down here In the mid-south. 1 told
him I usually took in a good big time
cage game on Friday, or perhaps went
to a good fight. On Saturday nigbu
1 always enjoy a hockey game.
• • • •
No kidding folks. 'Tis a fact. Every
Friday night yoa can get the very
beat in prias ring action by tuning In
oh Madison Square Carden. Or if
you prefer basketball, you can usually
pick up a Fort Wayne station, or
porkapo one in Chicago that puts on
on# of thosa sonsationai Big Ten
gamaa. And on Saturday night *110
no task at all to pick up a game In
the National Hockey league.

By the way—speaking of basketball.
There is a team up at Flat Rock or
some place with a funny name like
that, near Kershaw, that has been
jing great guns. That outfit wants to
take on the Central Highs of Char
lotte. The Flat Rockers have not been
defeated this season and their oppon
ents have not been pushovers either.

Paging Julian Ewtng'a Rotarlans.
Over In Bisboprille the BishopviUe
Rotes are playing the Americab
I^egion In a basketball game and the
proceeds go toward a Memorial Sta
dium fund. If my memory serves me
light President J. C. E^wing was him
self a player of ability with the Ken
dall team a few years ago. I know
because 1 used to watch him in ac
tion. Now there certainly most be s
few young men In the Rotary clnb who
could get out and stagger around a
basketball court. How about a game
between Rotary and Kiwanls club
teams. It sure would pack the gym.
• • • •
The proceeds, net 1 may add, of the
S. C-N. C. Shrine gama at Charlotte
last December amounted to $12,500. It
was the largest sum yet produced for
the Shrine hoepital since the all-«tar
game waa Inetituted. WhaPe the rea
son. The answer—•John Villcpigue."
• • •
And may I say that It took courage
to sit out In C^t Charlotte stadium
that afternoon for it was cold-^really
cold. If tbd weather had been'sunny
the stadium would have been jammed
to capacity.
_ • • •
I repeat—H was John Villepigue that
was the big magnet. People all over
the mid-eouth If not the entire south
have heard of Villepigue’e coaching
ability—have heard of the fine teams
that have featured his coaching
career. The dope In the Shrine game
gave an edge to the huskies of the
Tarheel squad. Could John Villepigue’s
skill make the lighter Palmetto team
a threat?
• • • •
Brother—that ain’t the half of, It.
Those spectators up there in the
Charlotte stadium would have seen
some real hippei-dipper, dooty-dalsy
malsie-dotsey football if the ground
had been dry. The slippery, greasy
surface of the football field slowed
down the electric offensive of hte
V’illepigue-coached South Carolina
team.
