Loses To Saints In Opener By VICTOR FULP The Colonial Heights Colonials opened their basketball season last night in the Colonial gym as they became the victim; of the St. Joseph Saints, 61-35. The win for the Saints was their second of the season, as they defeated the Alumni earlier Friday night.

The Saints jumped to an early lead of six points in the first quarter, taking a 14-8 margin aft er the first eight minutes. Leon Yoiirtec, wlio took scoring honors for the night, managed to get only four of fiis 18 points in the first half. He got five in the third period and the other half in the final frame. Add To Lead The Saints added two more points to their lead by out-scoring their hosts, 12-10, and taking a 26-18 half time lead. The Colonials came back in Ihe third quarter like a new team and cut the'Saints lead in half and trailed by only four points in Hie final quarter, 35-31.

The Colonials picked up six field goals and a four shot for 13 points while the Sainls only tame up will nine poinls. In the last quarter the Saints, came within nine points of scoring their total for the first three periods by rallying for 2f and holding the Colonials 'to four points.

"Let's not he too hasty about this thing," commented Kilbourne when his eyebrows popped upward upon the receipt of the forecasl lending to put the pressure on the Wave to live up to such high class billing. "We have, experience and good height and there is no reason why we shotilcfn't have a good pall club, but the same thing goes for Highland Springs, John Marshall and perhaps one or two oilier Central District teams.

The only guess I would like to make right now is that we believe that Petersburg will be running well with Highland Springs and John Marshall." Devils May Surprise "Hopewell has lost Bob Harris and Calvin Jacobs, but a always dangerous to underrate them. You can't tell what to expect of the Blue Devils until the going gels tough. They could come up with a ball club that could prove as tough as any in the district. "Bill Burton, our tallest boy, is 6-4, and we have six other boys in the first eight that are 6 or hotter, but we don't have 'em quite as tall as Highland Springs and John Marshall." "We may make the grade this season if the front line players and one or two Jayvees of last year show their full potcntia and don't let up anywhere along the. line.

Better Bnlance "As I see it now, the entice circuit has better balance and you may touch any point and get a surprise. Its going to be tough for all of the teams forecasters are inclined to put up in the front ranks. "As I say, let's not be too hasty about this thing." Counting eight players who moved in from the Jayvees Kilbourne now has 16 men working out in preparation fo'r the opener here with Manchester December 15. Everything points to a brilliant season for Burton, one of the highest scorers in Die district and state last season, an excellent rebounder and defensive man as well as a sharpshooter. Fii-st 8 Are Seniors The first eight boys are seniors and, in addition to Burton a probable starting five would consist of Bobby Roberson, Jerry Rudy.

Chris Tisdnle and Freddie Edmonds, all of them good ball handlers and shooters of quality. John Sandford, Ryland Vest anc Wayne Hatch round out the group of lettermen seniors.

15-20, Peg ram Is Optimistic By JACK FULP The Hope-well Blue Devils' two big men, Bobby Harris and Calvin Jacobs, are at William and Mary and Virginia Tech, respectively, and on the basis of their absence many Central District observers are counting the Blue Devils out of serious contention for a repeat championship performance. The 6-4 Harris and 6-6 Jacobs led the Blue Devils to the district title and to the finals of the state tournament before they bowed out to coach Jimmy Bryan's fine Glass High team of Lynchburg. However, according to Blue Devils' coach Bill Pegram, these observers may be counting too soon. According to the genial and efficient Hopewell coach, "We are planning to be right in there scrapping for the top place again." The Blue Devils' coach is surprisingly optimistic about the prospects for this year's team, and figures some of the boys who were reserves on last year's unit pull some real big surprises. Craig Connelly, who stands 6-4 and came along fast in his first season as a front liner last year, is back and gives the Blue Devils height and agility under the basket.

Connelly could develop into one of the real fine district performers. Bob Moore, a starter on last year's team, is back for another season, but there still is some question about short but top-flight back- court man, Norvell Burrow, who was kept out of action during the football season by a pre-season eye operation. Burrow's absence was a heavy blow to the football team, and it also would be a big for the cage team. Coach Pegram said he expects to know next week whether Burrow will be able to play. If Burrow is permitted to play, the Blue Devils will have seven lettermen from last year's team, and some of them were coming along fast by the end of the campaign.

One of these is Ehvood Whitlock, who was moved up" from the team toward the end of the season and got in enough action as the result of tournament play to win his monogram. He lacks height, but is a real good backcourt man, and coach Pegram is of the opinion that he will be a scoring threat. One of the coach Pegram thinks might surprise some folks is Terry Swift, who didn't get too many chances last year but has shown the coach enough to make him rather optimistic about his chances for being a big help this winter. Marty Robertson also is a likely prospect. He was progressing rapidly at the end of the last campaign, and he, Connelly, Swift and Whitlock have been working out for a while.

The other lettermen-Moore, Doug Tomlin and Bobby Johnson--have been with the football team. The Blue Devils' coach waited until yesterday to call his candidates, and didn't seem at all 'disturbed by the loss of his stars, who produced a little better than half of the points the team scored. "They are mighty good boys and are doing all right in college, and we will miss them a but we still think that we will have a pretty good team," was the way the coach summed it up. In addition to the veterans, there are Tommy Lindfors, Danny Legat, and Charles Hughes from the team. Lindfors was called up at the end of last season and was with the varsity in the tournament at Charlottesville.

The reserves from last year's team are Stan Tomlin and Swift. The Hopewell Rotary Club will entertain the Blue Devils at their annual banquet Tuesday night at the Lakewood Supper Club. This affair for the Hopewell eleven has been a regular part of the agenda for quite a. few years. Ed Merrick, head football coach at the University of Richmond, will be the speaker.

Merrick's Spiders had a couple of real high points the past season, a victory over archrival William and Mary, and a tie with Southern Conference champion VMI. Freshman football in most quarters isn't something to get all worked up over, but not so the game between the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. That game draws almost as well as the varsity, and the varsity game always is a sellout. This year the game, as usual played for the benefit of the Scottish Rites Hospital, drew 43,100 on Thanksgiving Day, the traditional a the game. Incidentally, Georgia made it a clean sweep for the year with an 8-7 win.

These teams make quite a big thing of the game. During the last couple of days before the game the teams take a day each and visit the children, getting a real close idea as to why they play the game. It's a real big affair, this "game with the slogan "Strong legs run that weak ones may walk." GW Hands Spiders Licking in Opener (Bj- Tho A.ssorl.ilciJ Prrss) Some 24 hours before his Richmond Spiders opened the' Southern Conference basketball a playing host to George Washing- on's rebuilding Colonials, Coach Les Hooker made an observation. Speaking of Jon and Jeff Feldman, sophomore twins who were the scoring stars of GW's freshman team last winter, Hooker remarked: "If those twins don't start, you'll know GW has a pretty good earn." The Feldman twins not only didn't start, they didn't even play 'ast night. And a "pretty good from-GW-handed the Spiders an 89-83 licking with Dick yiarkowitz, a junior college whiz from California, pouring in 27 poinls and helping the Colonials control Ihe boards, Richmond went into the game vith stnrlcr Alan Cole on the )ench because of a bnck injury and lost e-9 Jerry Sklar in the first 10 minutes with a broken nose.

But the Spiders made it a game until midway the second half when the Colonials pulled away. Butch Lambiotte, Richmond's veteran poinfmaker, scored 30 points and several times pulled the Spiders from deficits of as much as 15 points but Markowitz, a 6-5 junior transfer, had more help on the side. It was a profitable night for four of the five Conference teams opened their 1 es against non league opposition. Only Furman we.ntr down to defeat, bowing to powerful Louisville 87-68. West Virginia's defending champion Mountaineers rolled over Tennessee 93-78, The Citadel's 1959 runnerup Bulldogs crushed.

Dale Highlight Was Win Over Hermitage Knights Played Well Despite.Grid Losses In 1959 Campaign By JACK FULP The Thomas Dale Knights, although they had a losing season with three wins, four losses and one tie, had at least one real high point in their campaign and could be really described as outplayed in only one game. It was the kind of season at Dale where the losses outnumbered the wins by a slight margin, but it also was one where a couple of breaks here and there would have turned the season into slightly successful, one. That high point came in the third game of the season, when they handed the twice-beaten Hermitage Panthers one of their'de- feats, and it was by the impressive margin of 13-0. The 'one bad night came in the second game, when they tangled with the Highland Springs Springers, when they had probably their most workmanlike night of the season in a 28-2 win over the Knights.

The Springers had a mighty fine team, and everything went right for them that "night. Springers Were Tough With the personnel the Springers had, when everything went right, they were real tough, and the Knights and several other teams learned during the past season. The Knights produced a couple of outstanding individual stars in halfback Wally Davenport and end David Ledford. It isn't often that a team will have a losing season Dale's Record And Scoring Thomas Bale fi; Hopewpll 13. Thomas Dale Highland Springs 2S.

The Knights also played a game under some of the most weird conditions ever surrounding -a game. That was the final game of the season, when they lost to Manchester. 7-6, in the mud and a fog so thick that it was impossible to see across the field. They held a G-0 lead in that one until the closing minutes, when Butch Nunnally found the range through the shroud to pass for a touchdown and then ran for the point.

Davenport Has Long Runs Davenport, one of the fastest men in the district, had some long scoring runs, including a 43- yard dash in ankle deep mud at Cameron Field against -Petersburg. He also had scoring runs of 21 and 18 yards against Hermitage. Ledford was a terrific offensive and defensive player at end, and W. T. Henshaw did a fine job at the other flank.

Henshaw was particularly adept at recovering fumbles. Ledford and Wayne Bell were the team's co-captains, and Bell also-did a good job at tackle, being especially strong on defense. Good Passers Tommy McGee and Wayne Keenan came along fast at the quarterback job and developed into dangerous passer. Keenan will be back next year, and could be the key man in the big rebuilding job which coach Ed Karpus will face next fall. Marvin Starnes was a hard-hitting fullback, and Jerry Harmon developed fast at halfback.

The real rebuilding job is in Lhe backfield, but Keenan and Harmon, along with Leonard McAdams, who saw a lot of action, provide a good start. Henshaw will be back at end, and James Clarke returns at a position. Then there are David Blake, John Squires, and James Willis, all of whom were in the starting lineup at one ime or another. Then there was jibbons Sloan, who was a topflight defensive back. Nieman Moves To CardS; Green Goes to Baltimore ST.
