Although the 1964-65 schoolboy
basketball season is only in the
early stages, already the firing
has been heavy and there have
been some expected, and some un-
expected, casualties. And during
the period of tonight through
Wednesday night, Dec. 16, there
will be more, much more, exciting
action and more teams will go
down in defeat.
Although a total of seven bat-
tles is on tap Friday night which
hold local interest, only two of
them will be taking place in Jef-
ferson County. There will be one
on tap in Martinsburg, and one at
Inwood.
The Charles Town High Panth-

the state Friday night, tangling

County m a return game for one
the two teams played in Charles
Town last season. This will be
the first of a two-game road'trip
the Panthers will be taking this
weekend.
So with the Panthers on the
road, the Charles Town cage
spotlight will be focused ttpon
Page Jackson High School where
i the Taylor-coached Spartans will
be hosting their Alumni. The
Spartans opened their season
with a win over Itarpers Ferry
and then los.t last Friday night to
Charles Town. They will be after
their second win.
Shepherdstown cage fans will
have some home action with the
Cardinals playing host to Wiil-
liamspott (Md.) High in a Bi-
State Conference battle.
There will also be action in
Berkeley Springs Friday night,
with the Indians hosting the Mc-
Connelsburg (Pa.) High cagers in

Williams, who has been. even
more of a sensation as a Mountain

great cage show in Mar~insburg.
Then Saturday night the ~little

The Charles Town Race course
will again become the center of
thoroughbred horse racing in the
East Wednesday, Dec. 16, when
last daytime Winter racing meets
opens at the Charles Town track
at 1 p. m. and runs through a per-
iod of 32 days.
And with Maryland's racing sea
son winding up on Tuesday, Dec.
15, Charles Town's opening will
signal the annual trek of the two
buck bettors from all major east
ern cities in the country into the
West Virginia Blue Ridge mount-
ains.
Hundreds of fans from New
York, Philadelphia, Camden, N.
J., and Wilmington, Delaware will
be pouring into Charles Town
Wednesday by bus train and pri-
vate automobile for the Winter
racing program. Po~ time has
been set' daily for 1 p. m. And as
i usual there wili not i~e any racing
on Christmas ~day. ,
Most of the racing buffs who
make the trip are refugees from
the big city tracks of the North.
They travel to West Virginia be-
cause New York and Maryland
have put the thoroughbred to
"bed" for the winter and Florida
is taboo because travel expenses
are too high and the distance
impossible.
Although Charles Town's pro-
grams will not attact any stakes
horses and the majority of the
races will be allowance and claim
ing events. Charles Town does
offer the "standard" northern
racing fan racing on a high plane.
Twin Double Featured
One of the features of the Char,
Springs:les To~n winter meeting will be
the twin double which affords
every horseplayer the chance to
make a sizeable- score with an init-
ial two-dollar investment. Th~
twin double will embrace the fifth
sixth, seventh an eighth, races.

Open Season With Win
The Musselman High basketball
ers went into Morgan County Fri-
day night to open their 1964-65'
season by being the guests of the
Berkeley Springs High Indians
and the Indians were perfect
hos~s as they gave the Applemen
a 66-52 victory to bring back to
Inwood with them.
With five players hitting in the
double figures, the Ripley-Coach
Musselman boys moved into an
early first period lead and stayed
even, or in front all the way. The
Indians did manage to knot the
count at 13-13 as the ~irst period
ended, but then Musselman pull-
ed ahead and by the halfway mark
were far out in front by a 34-19
score.
