lead the Warriors to first place in the South Choctaw basketball tournament in
Toxey.
Sparta upended Marengo
Academy, 70-59, last Thursday to open the tournament. On Friday, the Warriors
stormed past tournament host South Choctaw, 69-34, in the finals.
Campbell, a 6-5 senior
center, recorded 37 points and 30 rebounds in the two games combined. Cinereski,
a 6-5 junior center, also scored a two-game total of 37 points and grabbed 27
rebounds.
(Other players on the team

“Old Number 51” will have his
day come Mon., Jan. 15.
That day has been designated “Wayne
Frazier Day” in Evergreen by Mayor Zell Murphy in a proclamation published
elsewhere on this page. A group of volunteers, representing practically every
group in the city, is now at work on arrangements for the celebration which
will honor Frazier, varsity center for Auburn University’s football team for
the past three years.
Pat Windham Foshee, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Luke Foshee of Cohassette, was awarded the Gulf Naval Trophy at a
football banquet recently at the Red Level High School. The trophy was awarded
to the varsity letterman with the highest scholastic average.
The Evergreen High School
Aggies will meet the Frisco City Whippets in the only regularly scheduled
afternoon game of the season in Memorial Gym today.
Coach John Robinson said the
game was scheduled as an afternoon clash in order to give all students an opportunity
to see their team.
Mr. and Mrs. W.N. McGehee
joined friends in Brewton and spent several days in New Orleans and attended
the Sugar Bowl game.

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gaston
and son, Bert, spent the weekend in Montgomery and attended the Blue-Gray
football game and also the dance Saturday night.
Cullman Hunter First To Bag
Deer With Arrow: The distinction of being the first outdoorsman to ever bag an
Alabama deer by means of bow and arrow goes to William H. Drinkard, Cullman
businessman. While several bow and arrow hunts were held in years past in the
William B. Bankhead National Forest and Birmingham archers had a special season
in the Jefferson County preserve, Drinkard’s bagging on an eight-point,
162-pounder, is the first successful effort, according to Alabama Department of
Conservation officials.
The feat is all the more
remarkable in that Drinkard is a left-handed bowman.
A guest of President Fred
Stimpson at the Bull Pen Hunting Club on its Washington County preserve at
Sunflower, Drinkard felled the deer on a drive near the Hickory Ridge
clubhouse. The deer came by his stand after being shot at by four other
hunters. It stopped momentarily, and Drinkard let fly with an arrow that struck
the buck’s left side at the base of the neck. It ran a short distance before
falling.
The deer was Drinkard’s first
kill of big game with a bow and arrow though he has bagged a wild boar and
coyote in Robin Hood fashion. He has hunted bear and other big game out West,
but used firearms. An archer of some years standing, Drinkard uses a bow with a
70-pound pull.
