Hampton 6 - Fayetteville 0 The Pirates from Hampton, Va., JflJ^aded^BmncoKi]^ a 'vic torious win of 6-0 on September 21. The game was a hard-fought contest with quite a few fumbles by both teams. The fumbles prov ed costly for Fayetteville. The game seemed as if it would be a scoreless battle until Hampton’s fullback Conners became a one- horse and continued to progress through the once-strong Bronco wall for a touchdown in the third period. The entire forward wall should be commended for its hard play as halfbacks Ebron and Wright tried to lead the offensive attack that was unpolished. Elizabeth City 20 - Broncos 6 The Broncos were again de feated by the Elizabeth City Tea chers College here in a rainy night game on Sept. 28. The opening period showed the Pirates domi nant over Fayetteville as they scored within five minutes. An other Elizabeth City touchdown and extra points were made in the second period. Johnson and Little were outstanding defensive play ers as the Broncos were stubborn the second half. Ealy and Gordon reeled off yardage in early min utes of the second half and Ealy romped twelve yards for a score as Battle carried the ball over the goal line for the extra point. Fum bles were again costly throughout the game. The final score for the rainy game was 20-6. Tackle John son of the Broncos was the defen sive hero of the game as he was responsible for 45 of 53 yards lost by the opponent’s ball carriers. Howard Univ. 13-Fayetteville 6 After being host two weeks, the Broncos were guests of Howard University in Washington, D. C., October 5. The game was high lighted by good running plays on the part of halfback Jude “Mou sey” Wright and fuUback Roger Scales. Quarterback James Bray boy connected four passes for 47 yards. The boys from the “Ville” were taken by surprise as Howard scored in the first quarter by consistent pass plays. They again scored in the second quarter via a pass play good for 36 yards. The Broncos’ score was aided by an interception in the fourth quarter. Scales plowed 11 yards as the con version failed. Howard always seemed to push back the Broncos at the most decisive moments. Halfback Milton “Skeeter” Doug las returned kicks for 75 yards in three tries. Fayetteville 12 - St. Paul’s 0 On October 12, the Tigers of St. Paul’s Poljrtechnic Institute in LawrencevUle, Va., were the vic tims of the Broncos there. St. Paul’s knocked on the door on the goal line nine times in the first half, but Fayetteville’s forward wall was not giving an inch to the Tigers. Midway the second quar ter Douglas bucked over for six points as the extra point try failed. The Broncos got another touch down in the third period via a 32 yard pass play from quarterback Braj'bcy to Douglss. Br-jyboy con nected very well in his offensive passing attack with Douglas, Wright and Slnight being the re ceivers as Ealy and Wright reeled off rushing yardage for the Bron cos. St. Augustine’s 21 - Broncos 0 With a one and three record, the Broncos were hosts to St. Augus tine’s College of Raleigh in a night game, October 29. The cold and windy contest was won by the su perior St. Augustine Falcons 21-0. A well-played first half by the Falcons was the difference as they scored 3 touchdowns, one extra and a safety. The Bronco football squad at the end of the season will lose quite a few players who are seniors. They are: Backs Curtis Battle, Jack Ealy and Roger Scales; Ends Chuck DeVaughn, Harvey Jarmon and Charles Knight; Tackles Thomas Burgess and Jack Freeman; Guards Ro bert McBryde and Pete Taylor; and Center Coley Little who has captained the team two successive years.
