It was decided to arrange a meeting with the downtown merchants in order to pre sent the Council’s feeling Earl Chesson Impresses Coaches, Press At Camp (Editor’s Note: The follow ing story is from the Greens boro Record’s July 27th edi tion. The game was played Thursday night and Earl Chesson played both offense and defense and did the punt ing. The West won, 7-0). By BILL HASS Staff Sports Writer The 1967 East-West All-Star program listed a football player named Chesson from Edenton on the East roster. The 1970 East-West All-Star program will also list a foot ball player named Chesson from Edenton on the East roster. It’s no coincidence. The 1967 Chesson was Wes, the 1970 Chesson is his brother Earl. Each had an outstanding career at Edenton as a quar terback and it looks like neither erf them wiU play that position in college. When (Leo Hart asserted himself as the number one quarterback at (Duke, the Blue Devils’ coaches didn’t waste an athlete as talented as Wes Chesscn. He was shifted to flanker and became an out standing pass receiver. Earl may also wind up as a pass receiver, although he can still play quarterback and can also, run with the ball. East assistant coaches El bert Moye and Jerry Cart rette, who presided over Sun day’s scrimmage, were both enthusiastic about having a handyman like Chesson on their squad. “He’s about the fastest boy on the team,” Cartrette said. And I think he could play any position.” Moye said Chesson will start in the defensive back field and also play some flanker and split-end. In case anything should happen to Chuck Mohn of New Bern or Joe West of Greenville, Ches son could step in at quarter back, too. ‘He’s a classic runner,” I Moye said. “He looks like an antelope when he gets go ing.” Earl is about 6-1, 170 ! pounds, slightly smaller than Wes. He started out last year at tailback for Edenton, i but switched to quarterback j after a couple of games. [ “I think the coach just : wanted me to play quarter back,” he said byway of ex- Tribute to a Swinger Back in the 1800*8, wherever there was a hot time in the old town, you could always depend on Inez’ being there. Good old Inez never let the boys down, either. She was a fast one all right! You see, this particular gal happened to be a horse-drawn steam pump er which saw many years of service with the Elizabeth City Fire Department be fore the advent of more modern, motorized equipment Today, the antique pumper is permanently displayed in front of the Museum of the Albemarle.

Motion by Hollowell, sec onded by White and unani mously carried, that the Town should proceed with having engineering completed on the paving, curbing and guttering of Paxton Lane and Morgan Park, providing the petitions were In order. Administrator Gardner re ported to the Council that everything possible was be ing done to speed up the water and sewer project and it is hoped that construction can begin by early September. Councilman Dail gave a re port on the summer recrea tion activities and reported that 460 people had signed up with 385 active participants. planation of the switch. “It wasn’t too hard to learn. Wes had shown me a lot of things about playing quarter back.” Come the fall, Earl will be wearing a blue and white uniform—but it will be Caro lina blue and not Duke’s royal blue. “I just thought Chapel Hill would be the best place for me,” he said. “Wes didn’t give me a hard time about it—he just wanted me to go to the best school for me.” Since Wes is a senior this year, the Chesson brothers won’t play against each other. But they’ve been on opposite sides before. ‘When. I was a freshman playing jayvee ball,” Earl re called with a smile, ’“we used to scrimmage against the var sity. I had to tackle my brother a few times. I just had to forget who he was and try to hit him hard.” Despite his value as an all around football player, Earl would like to settle down to one position—flanker. There’s no particular reason, except that he just likes to catch the ball.” The Blast coaches think he will be effective at that spot, too. And they also hope he will be able to steal a few enemy passes as a defensive back. Oh yes, Earl has one other chore for the game, the Blast’s punting. And if you see him selling programs at the gale, don’t 1 be surprised. William A. Waff Dies In Texas William Allen Waff, infant son of Sp 4 John E.
