Quake Eleven Favored to Capture
Tilt From Roanoke Rapids Today;
GHS Unbeaten, Untied In Six Games
Winners Over 3 Class A Teams To
Play Fighting Enemy Without
Sub-end Glenn Johnson
GHS’ high riding Earthquakes
will rumble up to Roanoke Rapids
to meet the Roanoke eleven today
in their seventh contest of the year
with a string of six victories behind
them.
The Quakes are favored to de
cisively whip the Roanokesters by
a good margin. Unless there is an
astounding upset, the Quakes will
bring home the scalps of their
seventh straight victims. The Quakes
are minus Glenwood Johnson, sub
end who broke his arm in the Fay
etteville game. However, the locals
can boast of victories over Wilson,
Fayetteville, and Wilmington, all
Class A teams.
However, the Roanoke squad will
be in there fighting with a splendid
record behind them. Last year they
won the eastern Class B high school
championship and have this fine
record to defend. This year they
battled New Bern to a 0-0 tie and
had an oif day in losing to Elizabeth
City 19-0. Their most important
win so far is their 6-0 victory over
the strong Greenville eleven. This
implies that the Rapids eleven has a
better defense than offense.
The probable starting lineup for
the Quakes will be: Ends—Snypes
and Pearson; tackles—Dawson and
Thigpen; guards—Jernigan and
Kannon; Center—M. Daughtry or
Crone; quarterback—Captain Hol-
lowell; halfbacks—D. Daughtry and
Potter; fullback—Pate.
Sports Shots
From all that has been observed
by your sports shorter, it looks as
if we have an undefeated football
team this year.
Rumbling Earthquakes
Earthquakes Upset Wilson
14-0 To Earn Recognition
The Quakes began to show their
strength as one of the outstanding
teams in the state as they licked
Wilson High 14-0 on the Charles
H. Coon gridiron, October 8.
Wilson, who had previously
whipped Raleigh 12-7, was com
pletely outclassed by the locals. The
Quake attack was led by Dick
Daughtry, who is making a strong
bid for All State halfback.
Daughtry scored on a line buck,
after he had reeled off 38 yards on
a double reverse. Pate added the
extra point on a line buck. Potter
scored the last Quake marker on
an end run from the 1 yard stripe.
Daughtry took a pass from Hollowell
for the extra point.
Wilson never even threatened as
the great punting by Pate kept them
in a hole continually. Also, the
local line led by “Gehot” Jernigan
was impenetrable.
The swimming squad is moving
right along as they train in prepa
ration for defense of the state title.
The team had an inter-squad meet
last Thursday as part of their
work.
Yesterday the high flying Junior
Quakes met Wilson Juniors here in
a return game. In four games, the
Juniors have won three and tied
one.
Thus far, before the second Wil
son game, the Juniors have scored
122 points to 13 for their opponents.
Above are the undefeated, untied Earthquakes who will go against
Roanoke Rapids today, attempting to win their seventh straight game.
Reading from left to right are: top row: Coach J. W. Johnson, Maylon
McDonald, J. R. Nickens, Tommy Daniels, Robert Dawson, Jimmy
Weathers, Percy Thigpen and Coach Norris Jeffrey. Second row: John
Schmidlapp, Thomas Stith, “Red” Jernigan, Marvin Daughtry, James
Crone, Ridley Whitaker, James Kannon and Willie Boykin. Bottom
row: Manager John Grant, Horace Potter, Claiborne Pate, Captain
“Speed” Hollowell,' Dick Daughtry, Frank Farfour and Thomas
Snypes. Joe Pearson, Glenn Johnson and David Britt were absent when
the picture was taken.
Bizzell, Junior center, looks like
a first stringer for next year’s
varsity. In every game thus far, he
has outplayed his adversary.
It won’t be long before the editors
will be naming their “All State”
leams. Here’s hope that some
Quake member will get that honor.
Our nomination is that flashy half
back, Dick Daughtry.
It looks as if there will be no
track team to defend the GHS
Southern Conference Indoor Cham
pionship at Chapel Hill this year.
However, track fans are still hoping.
Quakes Take hayetteville
26-0 For Fifth Victory
JUNIOR QUAKES GOING STRONG
The Junior Q,uakes are really
going to town. In their first three
games they have won two and tied
one.
They opened the season with a
20-6 victory over Clinton Juniors
there. Their next encounter was a
thrilling 7-7 tie with Wilson, there.
After this they ran over Benson
29-0, here. The Juniors are im
proving steadily in their running
attack and blocking tactics.

Winning with' blows that struck
like lightning, the Quakes of GHS
continued their victory march by
downing the Fayetteville eleven 26-0
Friday, October 23, on the local
gridiron.
Playing before a crowd of 900,
the Quakes struck quick and fast,
scoring two touchdowns in the first
quarter when Dick Daughtry, took
a punt in his own 20, and behind
perfect blocking, whizzed 80 yards
for a score. Later in the period.
Potter sprinted 35 yards around
end for a score.
Midway the third quarter. Cap
tain Hollowell flipped a pass to
Pearson who was waiting in the end
zone. Pate bucked the line, and
the score was 20-0. The last score
came when Hollowell intercepted a
Fayetteville pass and galloped 35
yards for a score.
Late in the first half, Fayetteville
advanced the ball to the Quakes’
one yard line on passes.
TOUGH LUCK
The GHS junior team will
greatly miss the services of
Glenn Johnson, star junior
end, for the rest of the year.
Johnson broke his arm in the
Fayetteville game in making
a hard tackle. He also was
the number one sub for the
flank position on the varsity.

GHS athletes can no longer say
that they have a “tin can”* to dress
in after practices in various sports.
No, sir they will have a brick build
ing. It may be small but the athletes
are going to be proud of it and very
thankful.
This year the school board ap
propriated money for brick-veneer
ing the well known “tin can” so that
sportsters will have a warm and
dry place to dress. Some members
of the building and trade depart
ment are helping in this restoration
program.
There has also been quite a lot of
improvements on the inside, which
consist mostly of shelves and equip
ment racks.
Juniors Make It Field Day
The junior football squad made
a track meet out of their second
contest with the Clinton High
School Junior Eleven, winning 66-0,
