Loss To Weldon Team
Down only two points at the
end of the first half, John Graham
was clobbered 30 to 22
at Weldon last Friday night In a
game which Coach Harvey
Brooks said yesterday Warrenton
should have won. He
said his team beat Itself with
errors. "Scotland Neck outplayed
us, but War rent on beat
Itself In the Weldon game," he
said, as he told of fumbled
balls and pass Interceptions.
The game was tied midway
the fourth quarter when Weldon
blocked a Warrenton punt and
went on to score four touchdowns
to stop Warrenton 50 to
22 to remain undefeated In conference
play and tied for first
place with Scotland Neck. It was
the second conference loss for
Warrenton which Is now 3-2
in the conference and 4-2 In
overall action. John Graham
will play at Zebulon Friday
night.
On the first play of the game,
Warrenton fumbled at its 30
and James Williams came up
with the recovery. Six plays
later Charger halfback Alan
Mitchell bulled over from the
six. Ruffin added the twopoints
and Weldon was ahead
8-0.
Warrenton took the next kickoff,
couldn't move and was forced
to boot Its only punt of the
night. The Chargers got possession
at their 25 and drove
downfleld for the second TD.
The big play In the drive was
a 34-yard TD Jaunt by Steve
Vlck. Price scored the twopointer
and Weldon led 16-0 with
4:11 left In th^ first period.
The Yellow Jackets, with A1
Floyd as the workhorse, finally
scored on a two-yard plunge by
Dwight Davis. Floyd added the
two-point conversion. During
the- drive Floyd had runs of
four, seven, eight, one, five,
six and a 15-yard pass to A1
Cooper.
Weldon was forced to punt
after being held to only two
yards rushing and- Warrenton
was again in business. The
Jackets drove 84 yards for their

Following Weldon's third
quarter TD which put the
Chargers ahead 22-14, Warrenton
began to battle back. The
Yellow Jackets took possession

then A1 Floyd passed 12

A1 Floyd dashed 11 to give the
Jackets a first down at the Weldon
25.

the ball was on the Weldon
three. Davis bulled for two and
then went over from the one.
Floyd passed to end Danny
Bartholomew and the score was
deadlocked at 22-22.
Before Weldon got its go
ahead touchdown, A1 Floyd intercepted
a Weldon pass at
the Yellow Jacket eight, only
to see Garner come In minutes
later and block the punt to set up
the tally. Weldon got the ballon
Warrenton's six, and advanced
to the two. On fourth down
Wayne Price sneaked in for the
TD and put Weldon ahead to
stay.
War rent on took the next kickoff
and drove to the Weldon 20.
Here Price picked off a
Yellow Jacket pass at the seven
and the Chargers were back in
business again.
After a five-yard penalty
against Warrenton, Fullback
Clarence Ruffin found daylight
and dashed 46 yards
before being brought down on

Match For Northwest
ROANOKE RAPIDS- Northwest

last week to blast the Norlina
Bluewaves 48-6 here Friday

with a 3-2 Roanoke Conference
mark, while Norllna stands at
1-4.

but they had three long scoring
plays that accounted for 200 of
the yards.
A 15 yard penalty against

who scored two TD's, followed
the penalty with a 14 yard run
Into the end zone.
The lone Norllna score came
In the first period. Marching46
yards and getting 15 more on a
penalty, the Bluewaves picked
up the tally on a two yard sneak
by Waverly White.
R was 6-6 but the speed of the
Northwest backfleld was going
to make it 28-6 before the

For First Victory
LITTLETON — Improving
Enfield Is no longer wlnless!
The never-say-dle Blue Demons
capitalized on one long
scoring bomb and spilled Littleton,
6-0 In a Roanoke Conference
clash here Friday night.
Both clubs now stand 1-5 on
the season and 1-3 in the league.
And, Enfield was forced to
withstand a determined comeback
bid by the Blue Jays the
dielng moments before posting
Its first win.
The Blue Demons' tally came
on sT 77-yard pass play from
quarterback Philip Williams to
end Thomas Boone. Boone hauled
in the pass and raced the
final 50 yards.
Littleton tried to pull out the
contest the last two minutes.
Starting from their own 15
quarterback Jimmy Kearney
engineered the Blue Jays'
march with some determined
running. Littleton had moved
to the Enfield 15 before the
Demons defensive stalwart,
Pete Edwards, Intercepted a
pass at the 10 with Just 34
seconds remaining.
Enfield also possessed a
strong scoring threat of Its
own the final quarter. Williams
and wingback John Cut re 11 led
the visitors to the Littleton 10
where the Jays' Steve Ham 111
picked off a pass.
Edwards was joined by Bonne
11 Ptttman and Henry Daniels
as defensive leaders for Enfield
while Kearney, Ham 111 and
Doug Spragglns performed well
defensively for Littleton.

like a halfback, sped 52 yards

Within a few weeks most
snakes In North Carolina will
Kave gone Into hibernation, or
at least semi-hibernation.
Meanwhile, they will be looking
(or places in which to hibernate.
It you want to avoid contact
with poisonous species,
stay away from such favored
hibernation spots as rock piles,
partly decayed brush piles,
sawdust heaps and so on.
In mountain areas snakes
often use the dens of groundhogs
and skunks as well as
piles of fallen rocks or
brush piles. In the Piedmont
and Coastal Plains snakes may
Invade crawlways under houses
and outbuildings — a situation
not pleasant to contemplate.
North Carolina has a national
reputation of being Infested
with poisonous snakes, largely
due to an article of doubtful
accuracy that appeared In
a national magazine. This week
the Wildlife Resources Commission
received a letter from
a gentleman in Louisiana who
wanted some advice on what he
considers to be a rattlesnake
problem.
He has a bamboo border
around his property "that
comprises several hundred
feet or more." In a period of
20 years there has become an
accumulation of briars, bamboo
leaves and decayed vegetation
about waist high. He
wants to harvest s6me of the
bamboo, but believes the
place to be Infested with rattlesnakes
feeding on rats, mice
and birds. He bought a pair
of hunting pants and a Jacket bt
12 1/2-ouncedock material, and
wonders If this would offer
sufficient protection from
snakebite.
This would help, but a big
dlamondback In waist-high
debris could reach a man's
throat or face. Best bet would
be to pick a cold day when
snakes would be somewhat
dormant, and clear the area
down to the ground—and keep
It clear In the future. Attacking
this clutter with a machette
or brush hook would spook the
snakes deeper Into the brush
and the danger of being bitten
would be nil.
Old Friend Luke Guppy, proprietor
of Guppy's General
Merchandise Emporium,
Guppy's Crossroads, has been
thinking again. Sometimes some
of this ideas are worth passing
along:
"Dear Mr. Rod:
"Me and Elmo Cooter was
sittln around the store the other
night, and we got to talking
about how these kemlkal companies
is missing a good bet.
Some guy up theree at N. C.
State Univerclty said that
they Is as much as 40 thousan
different kemlkals used by us
farmers in grown our crops,
dan* Mar everything we eat has.
tot some kind of stuff In It that
enough at It would kill a man,
like ddt and all than other
thlnga I couldn't never apel.
Me and Elmo la about sheared
to eat none of the fish we
ketch or the birds we kill, and
thlnga, on account of all the
merkery and led and stuff they
have got In them.
The way we look at It, them
kemlkal people could make
thelrselfs a lot more money by
developing anydotes for all
them poisons they been making
and it would keep them long
haired re sere hers of theirs
busy for the next fourty years.
Fer Instants, If we eat us a
mess of fish we can take a pill
to counter act the poison In it,
and the same with bob white,
quale and tlmberdoodles. Elmo
says I am greedy, on account of
I could sell of them pills in
my store, but I told him I
would not want to make no
money on it If they could just
git up some medicine that would
keep folks around here from
eating their selfs to death.
And uncle Lafe says to tell
you that the differents between
statesmen and politlshens is
about three or four generations
and me and Elmo think that
he has got his solf something
there.
