we are back again to turn out
what most people call a column.

THE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK:
This week we want to salute
Bill Bowden of Porterdale High
School Junior Basketball team,
Bowden showed some of his old j
form in the game against the sen- j
iors also scoring 8 points. Bowden! I
is a regular guard of the PHS var
sity basketball team and co-cap-j |
tain.
For the girls we want to give the
highest honors to Betty Martin for
her 14 points against Covington
Martin has played all season with
the PHS team and was picked on
the All-League second team as a
forward. She is a big help in the
junior class and a great organizer.
Well among some of the better
things that spring brings to (Cov
ington is the softball season. We
na\ e seen a lot of the boys getting
their arms in shape to defend that
title. Covington got the better part
of the basketball season and the
Porterdale athletes are not going
to die out of the picture this year.
Covington seems to have a pretty
good chance to repeat although
they have lost their ace pitcher,
Ed. Hill, Hill along with Charlie
Smith has mastered this ball to the
point where he can throw it either
fast or slow as the situation de
mands. Coach C. E. Hawkins will
have to look for a few more pitch
ers to relieve Smith when he has a
bad day. The back stop position
will probably be covered by Wim
py Thompson. Both of these boys
are experienced. Bill Porter will
probably be the choice for the key
stone sack. Hill has had experience
in the green, green meadows and
may be switched out there to make
room for Norris. Nat Hill seems to
be the man for short now but one
never knows. Albert Coleman bas
a pretty good chance to keep the
third corner covered. Coach Hawk
ins will have his biggest worries
with the outfield for he lost most
of last years romers. Roy Hill.
Fred Hill, and Lawrence Hill are
all candidates for the field jobs.
The short field post is still wide
open as are most of the field po
sitions and the coach will need
plenty of candidates to fill these
important jobs. With a little good
luck from the freshman and a few
good rookies coming up this year
we might see Covington go to the
top. Covington chance* of repeat-

Willi Roy Carlo
Along with my “open letter to
Roy Carter,” from last week's Por
terdale Prattle, I received a warn
mg not to get mixed up with Mary
Lane and Arrowood, Well thanks
for the warning, friend, but its
not very polite to let your cor
respondence go unanswered, so~
Dear Lizzie Lane,
Listen (In) Sister, conceited isn’t
the word for how we gentlemen
feel about our five extra ounces
of brain. We are overjoyed to put
it mildly .... Speaking of warn
ing, the Jr. G-man gave me one
Monday, about his date notice, in
last week’s L. I. My! my! sich
lang’wich . . . Baker, Daulton, Al
len, and myself, were in Atlanta
Sunday and boy. Can Allen get
them dates with the girls. If you
don’t believe it just ask him. He
said to tell you he didn’t kick up
much dust around Porterdale, but
that he was a killer diller when
he got away from home, Yes! yes!
. . . Statham says he has reform
ed ... A certain girl (she said
her mama will get her, If I men
tion her name, I guess she means
... he will apply the paddle .
, .
thinks her boy f ri e n d is
falling for the new junior. Getting
quite red in the face about it too.
By the way, “certain girl” when
will you be fourteen? . Don
. .
seems to think a lot of his Mans
field chicken. He was popping off
about her coming up from physics
Monday . . . They’re having sing
ing over at the Covington court
house on Thursdays now. Some of
you might not have heard about it.
■ . . . James Black asked me why
I didn't get somebody’s secrets
and put in my column. Why, I’m
surprised at you James, you bad
bad boy, wanting to know some
body’s secrets, shame, shame .
YVell, since you are nice enough to
read my stuff, I’ll tell you some
thing there’s a boy in Porterdale
who doesn’t know when to say;
We 11 Listen In.” Some more next
week, good bye now. . . . R. C.

B.v DON BRUMBAUGH
Well the time has come for all
the sports fans to take a look at
the baseball situation. We find that
the basketball league will have a
lot of hot competition this year.
Covington defender of the league
title will try hard to keep the tro
phy in Covington while Porterdale
runner-up will give them a lot of
worry. Then there is the dark
horse to remember. We
aren t going to pick a winner but
we wish all teams the best of
: luck.
In a poll that was recently con
ducted in and around Porterdale
we find that the Yankees are a 2
to i favorite to repeat. While the
S° x have a 4 to 1 rating. Most
everybody seems to take the Dodg
ers but a few pick the Reds to
repeat in the National. The Dodg
ers are 3 to 2 favorites while the
Reds have a 4 to 1 standing. The
Southern Association seems to
have a lot of home fame in Atlan
| u but Nashville has a 2 to 1 lead
j over ’he Crackers who are a 3 to 1
bet.
"Buck” Waddleton, Sports Edi
tor of the P. H. S. Observer pre
diets that Willard Marshall will
bit 35 home runs. Well Buck we
don't know much about this South
ern Association but we'll stick
along with you.
During the recess period out at
Porterdale School we find a lot of
good ball players engaging in the
timely sport of softball. Maybe
from these boys will come the stars
of future teams. One little fellow
has caught about ten flie s in the
past week but would rather stay
in the outfield than to bat. Of

Jake Hilton did play in 22 games
instead of the 21 that we had list

but it won’t happen again.
A few days ago I entered a dis
cussion with some other baseball
fans on the subject of what college
has given the most players to the
majors. Well this other fan thought
that Oglethorpe was the leading
college and he named about three
big leaguers. Well mv opinion is
that Duke leads the list Being a
former Philadelphia fan I think
that I —can prove there are more
Duke boys in the league than Ogle
