to Thurston “Sonny'’ C'allihan.
Brinkley stated that he was sure
that no other person on the
I ’Pack squad could have been
more deserving of the trophy
than the sophmore tackle. Cal
lahan has played a great part
in the sterling line play of the
local eleven all season; shining
especially in the Goldsboro con
test where his team was badly:
beaten, but he was a continuous)
thorn in the side of the winners
all the contest. Sonny has two
more years of play with the
Wolfpack and local fans should
see some great work out of the
speedy tackle.

scchool. including Edwin Powell,
head cheerleader, Toccoa Pow
ell, Miriam Mooncv, Martha

THEATRE MANAGER
FINED BY JUDGE
WINFIELD SMITH
James P. Rogers, white man
ager of the Ritz Negro theatre,
was ordered to pay S50 and costs
by Judge Winfield Smith in Re
corder's court yesterday on
charges of showing obscene pic
tures and warned that he faces
a two-year road sentence if he
allows such movies to be shown
again.
Defense Counsel Aaron Gold
berg contended that the pictures,
showing nude white women, were
"a work of art,” and told Judge
Smith that they were no more
obscene than certain scenes in
“Gone with the Wind”
Judge Smith viewed several of
the individual pictures in the reel
confiscated by detectives and held
by Solicitor James King by hold
ing them up to the light before
reaching his verdict. The Solicit
or had suggested that the reel be
run for the judge.
