New
Baseball Loop To Be Organized At Meeting Monday: A meeting has been called for
Monday night at 7:30 in the auditorium of the new addition to the courthouse to
organize a Pony Baseball League.
This league is for boys from the ages of 13 to 16. It
provides wholesome recreation for the boys after they graduate from Junior
League play.
All parents of boys in this age group are asked to
attend the meeting Monday night and help organize this new league.
Eagles
Claw Camden: Last Tuesday evening the Conecuh County Training School Eagles
turned back Camden Academy to the tune of 70-60. The Eagles used a combination
of shooting and rebounding by Marvin Jones and Douglas Evans and the playmaking
of Eley Randerson and Martin were particularly effective with their passing and
general ball handling skills. Marvin Jones gained the scoring honors with 22
points. Evans was second with 19 valuable points, but an even more important
contribution of Evans and Jones was their rebounding on the offensive and defensive
backboards.
Eagles
Trounce Georgiana: Eley Randerson scored only six points Friday evening, but
his passing and ball handling led to many other scores as he led his Eagle
teammates to a 58-36 victory over Georgiana.
The Jones boys, Marvin and Leon, played their usual
consistent game. Marvin as usual led the team in scoring with 20 points,
(Douglas) Evans was runner-up with 14.
Eagles
Games To Be Played Soon: Eagle games to be played soon are as follows: Tues.,
Feb. 2, Atmore in Evergreen; Thurs., Feb. 4, Camden in Camden; Fri., Feb. 5,
Southern Normal in Evergreen.

Aggies
Defeat Brewton; Opp Here Friday: The local cagers squeezed out a 12-7 victory
over Brewton on their opponent’s court. The entire game was a fine exhibition
of pass work and guarding. The first quarter ended scoreless, but in the second
quarter Evergreen took the lead which they kept the rest of the game. The
Aggies pass work is slowly improving while their defense shows they want to
play basketball.
Tonight the locals meet Red Level basketeers on the
local court. On Friday night, they meet the strong Opp Bobcats here. The Opp
team has the strongest team to invade the local court.
