Norlina Here Friday In Buddies Home Opener ? MIKE LEONARD Guard NEILL McDONALD Fullback ROBBY McDONALD Halfback STEVE PERDUE End \U Oun, OpM**] By CLINT FULLER The Louisburg Junior Varsity has been preparing all week for tonight's opening against Millbrook. Johnny King, Tony Tharrington, Bill Beckham- all freshmen--and many others will see action today. This is the stuff of which good football programs are made. These youngsters will be varsity players before you know it. This year's varsity is loaded with sophomores who were members of a strong seventh-eighth grade JV squad two years ago. The Louisburg program is looking up. New bleachers have been installed for Friday's home opener against Norlina. A new fence is due to be ready by game time and so are two concrete ramps-one for the players and one for the public-are also due to be ready. The public address system and the electric scoreboard have already been checked out and the gran has been trimmed. Louisburg has one of the best fields in Class A football. I Keeping up with the score it. Elm City wasn't easy. The Vikings have no scoreboard. The Elm City reporter for the Wilson DaHy Times reported the BuHdogs won by a score of 42-0. Actually the score was 4(H), but it isn't easy to keep up Louisburg's sophomore quarterback Larry Fuller has been chosen Back of the Week by the RaM^i Times. He is in fast company with two other becks from 4-A schools and a third from 2-A Wake Forest. Quarterback Ronnie Austin of Garner, running back Willie Burden of Ralei^i Enloe and quarterback Harrison Hickman of Wake Forest are the others. Six linesmen were also chosen. The popular Prep Clipboard feature in the News and Observer, called All East Checklist, it being discontinued this year. Grady Elmore, who edits same, says the reasons include "manpower limitations, increasing demand for sports page space and lack of cooperation from schools not reporting home games results, much lass standout players". Such a pity. The Checklist was very popular among praps and it Is going to be missed. The Ayden Tornadoes -State t-A Champions- made a sur prising comeback against Greene Central Friday night. Trailing 13-12 with 1 50 left in the game, Ayderv-which comae here on October 24-took possession on the fifty-yard line. The Tornadoes drove to the winning touchdown in tlx plays. Quarterback Allen Wilson scored on a keeper to give the champt an 18-13 win. Such it the merk of chempions who have now won 54 of their last 66 ball games. Remember Coach Friday -that cute chick that adorned Channel 6 each afternoon with sports reports? Well, rfte't now doing much the tame for Miami iporti fans. One of the most knowledgeable sports reporters around -to say nothing of being the prettiest-Mrs. Jane (Roger) Chest ten In reel Ufa, , Friday it a little disturbed these deys that Miami Dolphin Coach George Wilson remeine the only sports flrgure to aver deny her an interview. Obviously George doesn't own a TV sat. An old foe comes to town Friday night in the Norlina Blue Wives and the Louisburg Bulldogs, flushed with a 40-0 win last week are standing at the ready. Norlina dropped its opener 32-12, according to reports. The Waves scored once in the first period and once in the fourth. The Waves and the locals have been meeting since 1958- -one year after Louis burg started football. Norlina holds a winning edge, having won six of the eleven. The Waves hit the Bulldogs hard est in 1959 at Fox Park when they took a 46-0 rout. Louis burg gained some measure of revenge in 1W2 by taking a 37-0 victory. Last year, at Noriina, Louisburg perhaps gained their most satisfying win. In a nailbiter, the locals grabbed a 13-12 win on an extra point pass. But in gaining the win, Louisburg lost All East Thomas Finch (or most of the season. Veteran Noriina Coach Bob Price has said his charges "are very inexperienced this year." "We are hoping that we will have a (ew surprises. The boys are looking forward to the season and are working hard."

Louis Wheless Wins Henderson Golf Tourney From the Henderson Daily Dispatch A 141 W.. ? it- a i ' * * * * ' mtuuu^ii uuwii uy lire strokes after 27 holes of the scheduled 36, iron-nerved Louis Wheless, Jr., of Louis burg, was unshaken and went on to turn back the stiff challenge from Henderaon's Ronnie Hobgood for the championship in the fourth annual Kerr Lake Country Club Invitational Golf Tour nament Sunday. Wheless, the Louisburg in surance man who has grabbed a lion's share of trophies in Henderson links action during the past two years, finished with a 148 in the two-day medal play tournament. Hob good, a Henderson high school senior who made a quick weekend switch from football togs to golf attire, earned runner-up laurels with a 152. Before taking to the golf course Saturday, and Sunday, Hobgood was a key figure at the quarterback post in Henderson high's season opening football victory over Smithfield-Selma Friday night. Jimmy Brummitt of Hen derson grabbed third place in me uiurnamem, iwo sirones behind Hobgood with a 154. Wheless, Hobgood and Brummitt in that order also were fint-day leaders in Sa turday'! opening round and continued out front y eater day in the field of tome 80 golfer*. The Louisburg contender in last year's Kerr Lake Invi tational was co-champion with C. G. Williams, Jr. of Henderson, when darkeness prevented completion of a playfcff for the crown. How ever, Wheless in effect settled the issue by returning this year to wrap up sole owner ship of the 1969 title. Wil liams took sixth place in the championship flight yester day with a 159. Wheless was forced to stage an. uphill comeback to overcome Hobgood 's chal lenge. The champ posted a one-over-par 73 for the first 18 holes Saturday, while Hobgood scored a 74, follow ed by Brummitt with 75. On the front nine of the finals Sunday, Hobgood Tired * sizzling 34, two under par Rams Host Garner B's The Franklinton Rams play one of these hang-if-you ?do and hang-if-you-dont games Friday night. The Rams meet the Garner High School "B" Team. The "B" is oftentimes misleading. Garner is a 3-A school and their "B" squad is equivalent to a 2-A or certainly a strong 1-A team. That's why should the Rams win, the victory will seem less impressive and should they lose, the loss will seem greater. Nevertheless, it is expected that the Rams will be wanting to come back from their de feat at the hand of Oxford Orphanage Red Devils last week and will be ready for the Garner squad. Oxford topped Franklin ton in a Franklin Area Con ference contest, 28-0 last week at Oxford. The Rama won handily over the Gaston Rebels in their opener two weeks ago, 12-6. Game time at Franklin ton's field is 8 P.M. Friday night. NATIONAL OiNOtAL PICTURES ? A MARK R ORSON MOOUCTION A^HuhTTilUb H. CAROL WHITE PAUL BURKE SEwEa&tffliffil _ SiTwtso.

However, with ice in his veins Wheless settled down to a one-beiow par 35 on the back nine, which saw Hob good soar to 44. Coming in, both leaders paired No. 10 and Wheiess picked up one stroke of his deficit on No. 11 when Hob good had a bogey five. Both got par on No. 12. On the next hole; "the champ bagged a birdie four and Hobgood again bogeyed, cutting his margin by two more. After both bogeyed No. 14, Wheless steadied for a par four on No. 15 and regained the lead for keeps when Hob good broke for a triple bogey seven. On the 17th hole, Whe less locked up the title when he scored a birdie two, plac ing his tee shot inside the circle and then sinking an eight-foot putt. His challenger doubie-bogeyed the 199-yard hole. Both golfers equaled par on No. 16 and 18. His win Sunday gave Whe less another crown to go with his co-championship at Kerr Lake last year and the cham pionship he earned in the Henderson Country Club In vitational Tournament, also in 1968. He likewise was among leaders in the 1969 Henderson Country Club event. SAT PJ1 is a hundred minutes of murders, brawls, broads, and sizzling action.
