rispotm ? Owt OpUAiJD*\ By CLINT FULLER The (meting between the Bulldogs and the Rams Friday night at Franklinton will mark the thirteenth time the two squads have tangled. Louisburg holds a big edge, having won all but one of the twelve gamei. Louisburg began football in 1957, a year ahead of Franklinton and the two squads mat twice in the Rama' first saeson in 1958. Randy Seidat, Louisburg's classy running back was picked as Back of the Week by The Raleigh Times Tuesday. The transfer student (from Rocky Mount Va.) was chosen earlier this week for a similar honor by The Durham Morning Herald. The Herald selects the outstanding back and linesman in their own conference. The Times picks from all classifications. Seidel joins Johnny Johnson. Angier quarterback, Ronnie Earp, Clayton signal caller and Osmer Evans, Ligon fullback as the four best becks last week. Incidentally, Seidel injured his leg at the start of the second half of the Norlina game and was still giving to the injury in Tuesday night's practice. Louisburg, unranked in preseason ratings, was listed in 13th place after its 40-0 win over Elm City last week, has climbed to the number 9 spot today following its 50-0 romp over Norlina. Weldon is number one. The Tornadoes lost their opener to Franklin, Va. 23-20, but downed Warrant on, 20-6 last week. A yd en, Manteo and Knapp (nos. 4, 5 and 6) have lost one and won one. Warrenton hasn't won a game and is rated 13th. Coach Tommy Twitty invited Booster President Walter McDonald, former Bulldog coach Ivie Bolton and this writer to view game film* of the Norlina contest. Twitty uses the films, taken each week by Bob Versteeg-who does an outstanding job of it-to point out mistakes to his players. He also points out the good plays and some of the youngsters take some good-natured kidding from their teammates for some of their boo-boo's. It's a good program and is a great help to Twitty 's training program. . - 1 1 : The Elm City Vikings mutt be on the verge of believing that they are snake-bitten this year. In their opener, LouiAurg snowed them under. 4(H) on a muddy and miserable playing field. Last week, the already poorly lifted facility gave up completely. A faulty transformer played out and repairmen couldn't get the lights working in time for Friday's scheduled contest with the Saratoga Central Rebels. The game was postponed until November 14. By mid-November, the Vikings could find the weather a bit messy for football. 3 Although most of us pay little attention to forecasts of game results, it is a pretty big things in many quarters. One "noted" football forecaster lists the following for this weekend: (See how close he comes) Auburn 21, Wake Forest 6; Clemson 14, Virginia 13; Davidson 21, Guilford 14; North Carolina State U. 24, Carolina 14; and South Carolina 21, Duke 20. These arent bur predictions. We thought State would beat Wake Forest just to show how far off things we are. t Whatever Homecoming surprises Coach Jimmy O'Neal and the Franklinton Rams are planning for Louisburg have been Kept a deep dark secret. Franklinton isn't even reporting their games-not even the ones they win. But, then, Louisburg hasn't made any public announcements as to the plans they might have for the Rams Friday night. It should be a real good contest The Rams are stronger than in past years and the Bulldogs are off to their best start in years. |S your oil FURNACE WORKING AT ITS TOP EFFICIENCY?

' L0UISBUR6, N.C. Bulldogs, Rams Clash At Franklinton Friday Night Two old rivals come to grips Friday night as the Franklinton Rams play host to the Bulldogs of Louisburg. The stakes are high. The Rams need a conference win after having suffered a league loss to Oxford earlier this season. The Bulldogs, sport ing a 90-point, two-game of fense, will meet their first conference challenge. Both will be reaching for the mythical Ftinklin County crown. Word from both camps has been as scarce as the elusive hen's tooth, but it is a fore gone conclusion that both squads are getting ready. Louisburg has dominated the 12-game, 11-year 'series, winning 11 and losing only in 1964. The Bulldogs defeated the Raiders, as they were called then, in the first foot ball game ever at Franklinton. The game, played on a Friday afternoon-before lights were installed--saw the Bulldog! take the 33-0 win In the first meeting In 1958. Later in the same season, Louisburg won here at Fox Park, 34-18. In the Rams' lone win. It was Jimmy Caudle who scored the only touchdown in 1964 after the Bulldog de fense held the Rams on the one-foot line as the first half ended. Louisburg's Boyd Mat thews blocked the Franklin ton point-after kick. No statistics were kept for the first meeting of the squads in the 1958 but Louis burg's Richard Marshall, B. T. Rowe, Bill Patterson and Frank Freeman were listed as Louisburg standouts in the game and Larry Senter and Bill Ragland starred for Franklinton. The second game, played at Fox Park here saw Richard Marshall run for three Louis burg TD's, the longest being 34 yards. B. T. Rowe scored on a 37-yard romp and Bill Patterson ran 33 yards for the Bulldog! Mike McDonald grabbed a Louisburg fumble and raced 70 yards for a Franklinton TD and James Moss scored on a one-yard dive and on a 26-yard run. "Hie Bulldogs gained 787 yards rushing, Franklinton rushed for 160. Louisburg committed five fumbles, the Raiders fumbled four times. In the second game, Charlie Ford replaced Frank Freeman at quarterback for Louisburg. Freeman chipped a bone in his ankle in practice that week. In the intervening years, ~ the two squads have met in some real interesting contests. For the most part, Louisburg dominated the scoring and took the wins, but more often than not, the score did not tell the full story. Frank linton usually plays its best game against the Bulldogs. This year it not expected to be an exception. It II be Homecoming for the Rama and their fans Fri day night and this will likely add Are to the home team. Louisburg is aware of impor tance of the fame and all this combined should mean another treat (or Franklin County fans. Game time la 8 P.M.
