Stages Big Comeback Norlina To Play Host To Wakelon Tonight | iNorlina footballers will wait | another week before jumping into Tar-Roanoke conference action as they go against a non conference foe for the second straight week when they host Wakelon tonight. The Blue Waves, down 18 I Points at the end of the fust I half in last Friday night's | gante against Spring Hope, pulled off a first-rate come-' back to edge the visitors by a IS-18 count. Tonight the Waves will go with essentially the same start ing lineup as they take on a team which handed them one of their two 1960 regular sea son defeats. Wakelon, short on experienc ed lettermen. will still be the Littleton To Play At Enfield; Wins Over A. Springs Littleton goes to Enfield to night m a game that will pit the two top teams in the Roa noke League in a game that could determine the conference championship. The Blue Jays moved into the forefront of the Roanoke race last Friday night when they toppled once-beaten Au relian Springs on the Jays home field, by a 19-0 count. In contrast with their pre vious 6-0 loss to Double-A Ben son, the Jays found" the scoring much simplier as they fought off the Hornets in the first half and then completed the game with two touchdowns in the second half. Keywood Cheves scored the first half's only TD when he bulled over from three yards out after a sustained drive from Littleton's own 17. Cheves kick for the point was no good and this was the score for the first half. Aerial minded Aurelian Springs found an effective wea- j pon in the arm of Ricky Har low who last week looked good against Davie in a 12-0 loss. I In the second quarter the Hornets came close to scoring as Phil Quails slipped behind the Jay's secondardy pulling in a short pass and going to the one yard line before being brought down. The Jays* line sparked all night by Murphy Myrick. Charles Moore, Bill Thorne and Mike Williams held for three downs and the half ended with the frustrated Hornets aroQnd one-half yard from paydirt. In the second half Littleton improved as Walker scored from 10 yards out and the extra point try was good. The final tally came in open ing minutes.of the fourth pe riod as the Jays climaxed a drive of around 40 yards with a plunge from seven yards out by Walker. Cheves kicked the extra point this time. Jimmy Harvey broke loose on a 35 yard TD run in the sec ond half only to have a penal ty nullify the nice run. Another Jay score was miss ed in the first half when Au relian Springs fumbled on their own 20 and Littleton pounced on the ball. On the first play from scrimmage Littleton fum bled and the Hornets were back in the offensive business am feeling better Littleton intercepted foui Hornet passes but Harlow com pleted 10 of 23 for 105 yard; and the drives through th< center of the Jays' iine gav, the losers some yardage. INJURED Sophomore tackle Herber Rooker has been lost to thi Warrentcn football team for a least a month following a bacl Injury suffered in the openin, quarter of last Friday night': game with Apex. The 163-pound starter broki two transverse processes in hi back and was taken to Wsrrsi General Hospital here when he has been recuperating.

JH| or five team to beat as former Wel don coach Maurice Chapman has a perrenial habit of pro ducing winners on the grid iron. Last Friday night the Blue Waves opened the season by letting a fast and seasoned Spring Hope aggregation get the jump on them. Spring Hope scored first on a 50-yard pass play, and be fore the fans could get set tled, pushed across another six pointer on a 35-yard run. What appeared at the time to be the clincher came in the waning moments of the first half when a Spring Hope speedster grabbed a Billy Ful ler aerial and rocketed 90 yards for a touchdown. In the second half it was a different story as Norlina, led by defensive standout Andrew Hundley, kept the Spring Hope offense bottled up and quarter back Billy Fuller got his mates rolling. Norlina ended their touch down famine in the third quar ter when halfback Jimmy Bur ton suatched a Spring Hope pass and streaked 40 yards into paydirt. * Later in the quarter Billy Fuller climaxed a Blue Wave drive by crashing over on a sneak,from one yard out. On the crucial extra point attempt. Fuller ground his way over to make the score stand 18-13. With less than four minutes remaining in the game, Fuller flipped a pass to Jimmy Bur ton who raced over the double line to complete a 40-yatd game winning play.
