Beckley’s Danny Williams Could Be Wingler 1952 Redux
A look at Beckley High’s lineup for the Class A title run notes Sam Caudill’s injury absence and praises Danny Williams as a potential Wingler-like spark. Coach Van Meter has shuffled players Joe Long, Clark Kesler, Bill Jackson, and John Lemon, but Williams fits the needed scoring, rebounding, and quickness to step in.

Few Changes In Fish Regulations
Charleston West Virginia anglers face minor tweaks in 1955 fishing rules with seasons shifting to dawn openings and trout season closed by Sept 30 for lakes ponds and streams. Bass season runs June 11 1955 to March 12 1956 with eight daily creel and nine inch bass minimum. Year round fishing exists in certain areas and non game fish may be hunted with bow and arrow if the legislature approves. A 35 pound bobcat trophy claims headlines quail hunting by Neil Sutherland in Tucson with his father.
