Covington High Defeats Porterdale
In Two Games; Boys 20-9 Girls 25-23
By Bill Statham
Sports Editor
Covington High continued its
march toward the league title Fri
day by giving Porterdale a sound
licking, winning both games, the
girls 25-23, and the boys 20-9.
The girls game was one of the
best local fans have seen in a
long time. Covington t an away in
the first half and at the rest
period C 11, S', lead 25-10. Vir
ginia Hooten. star Covington for
ward scored 19 points in this half.
In the second half Bette Martin
went in at guard for Porterdale,
and Covington didn't score a
single point in this half, because
Martin kept them too well guard
ed. The Porterdale team pulled
closer and closer to a tie ball
game and the crowd stood up al
most all of the entire period.
The game ended as Patterson
dropped a one hand throw on the
rim, which ran around and drop
ped off as the whistle sounded.
And 500 home team rooters sank
in their seats after a nerve
wracking game.
The boys game came ont as ex
pected, Covington winning 20-9.
The score at the half was 6-4 in
favor of C. H. S. after a hard
fought half. The game was 6 min
utes old before a point was made.
Both teams were desperate and
fought like mad lor the ball.
For Covington Vardeman was
probably the most outstanding

Royal Crown Wins
Over Jonesboro
Last Thursday night Charles
Djck’s Covington Royal Crown
Cola Basketball won its first
league game, defeating the strong
Jonesboro A. C. team 33-29. Royal
Crown has lost one game and
won one for a 500 percentage
mark.
With the starting lineup of C.
C. Hood and Charles Dick at the
forwards Harvard Cook at center
and Bonham Johnson and Luke
Byrd guards. Royal Crown com
pletely played Jonesboro off its
feet and led 21-10 at the half.
But in the second half, Jonesboro,
known as a second half team, tied
the score near the end of the game
and but for timely goals by Hood,
Byrd and Cook, the story might
have read differently.
Royal Crown is practicing reg
ular and are improving. Their
next game in the Walthour League
will be Thursday, Dec. 4.

It was my happy privilege to
have in our home on two occasions,
men of the new Army of the
United States.
This experience lias left me with
certain feelings and notions. First;
we have good reason to be proud
of them; the American army is a
cross-section of America. They
are “he-men” fine and clean.
Second: these sons and brothers
of our s need us more than they
themselves realize. They ask only
to be permitted to come into our
homes, to take up for a few hours
a bit of the family life which was
their's before a maniac set fire to
Europe.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Eleven Million Bales Of U. S. Cotton
Is Predicted From Current Crop Ginning
To Be 233 Pound* Acre ; |
Three-Fourths Of 1941
Crop Now Ginned
Average Yield Expected
Two reports released recently
by the Agricultural Marketing
Service contain considerable in
formation of interest to cotton
minded folk.
The estimate on the size of the
cotton crop shows that we can
expect about 11 million bales this
year. This would be about one
and one-half million bales less
than last season’s crop. The av
erage yield per acre will be some
where about 233 pounds per acre.
Although this isn't as good as last
year, it is above the average cot
ton yield over the last 10 or 12
years.
The last census report shows
that around eight million bales
had been ginned up to the first of
November. In other words, al
most three-fourths of our 1941
crop has been ginned.
The weather had a good deal
to do with the cotton crop this
year. Too much rain fell in Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Lou
isiana and Texas, and that hurt
the crop prospects. But in North
Carolina, Tennessee and Missouri
only a little rain fell and the tem
peratures were above normal, so
the prospects in these areas were
boosted some. The other States
are coming along about as ex
pected previously.
Ginnings are behind in Texas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Cali
fornia and this increases the pos
sibility that the cotton yet to be
picked may be damaged by bad
weather. But, on the other hand,
ginning is farther along than
usual in all the States east of
Oklahoma and Texas.
Cotton prices declined a third
of a cent during October. This
was probably caused by the fear
that the Government would clamp
a ceiling on the prices of raw
cotton, together with the October
crop report being some increase
over the previous report and that
the amount of cotton consumed
wasn't quite what was expected.
To offset these bearish features
there has been a tendency to hold
raw cotton from the market, our
exports have improved, and our
mills will probably continue to
take large amounts of cotton.
The “fear” of a direct ceiling
on raw cotton has been alleviated
by a system of flexible ceiling
prices for cotton fabrics. Our ex
ports of cotton ran between 56
thousand and 97 thousand bales a
month during the first eight
months of this year, but in Sep
tember shipments jumped to al
most 1,90 thousand bales. How
ever, the prospects are that not
army to give up this portion of
their lives and adjustment must
come hard. This brings out both
the good and bad in men and
where possible, we, have the op
portunity of sympathetic under
standing.
Third: that the more quickly we
outfit these men, the better train
them, and more speedily whip
them into hard-hitting, disciplined
units the FARTHER AWAY war
will stay from our doors.
Another notice which struck me,
j was, that the leaders and men in
| BOIH industry and labor who
might be responsible for STRIKES
causing a delay in the protective
and offensive equipment for these
j j soldiers should be of treated ours are as such, traitors and

gieat Red Cross drive. See l0ir

Of late, I have hesitated to
writing of the passing of friends.
While I might have had the op
portunity of paying tribute, the
recollection has most times been
painful and awakens again the
clanging sound of the casket's
closing.
However, as the grave closed
over the frail little body of my
frield. Mrs. Henrietta Paul. I real
ized that more than the door to a
of deserved rest has closed.
For in her life a stirring story
Of flight from persecution was
much, if any, increase will be
shown over last year.
T** difference in price between
our cotton and foreign grown cot
ton is a disadvantage to our
glowers. For instance, not long
ago while our cotton was bring
ing around 16 cents per pound,
cotton brought about 7 cents per
pound in Brazil, and a little un
der 7 cents per pound in India.
We all hope that after the war
is over and world trade gets go
ing somewhere near normal, we
can present a different picture.
