Hege Fearless Forecasts Upset Of Florida In his predictions last week, our irrepressible soothsayer of college football games, Fearless Forecaster, warned of a possible Vanderbilt upset over mighty Florida. And jumpin' jackrabbits — Fearless was right, as Vandy nipped the Gators, 3129 It seems that ABC's expert on college football, Beano Cook, said recently that, "The only way Vanderbilt could make it to the Sugar Bowl (the SEC champ goes there each year,) was for the other nine teams in the Southeastern Conference to be put on probation." Vanderbilt did not roll over with laughter upon hearing this testimonial to their program. The Commodores played Carolina to a 10-10 tie at halftime, before losing, 34-10. The next week, Vandy trailed Alabama, 24-7 entering the fourth quarter of a game played at Alabama. The Commodores rallied in the final quarter and nearly won. (Alabama won 24-21.) Vandy then beat Tulane for their second win of the year, (they also beat Memphis State,) before their big win over Florida Saturday night. Just as Duke has proven, private universities with rigid academic standards can excel on the gridiron. Vanderbilt is another example of this fact. And a third private school with tough academic standards, Northwestern, has shed it's image as the worst football team in America. The Wildcats had lost 34 straight games, but have won two recently, over Northern Illinois and Minnesota. And Minnesota was ranked in the Top 20 just two weeks ago. Fearless was 32-5 last week, and accurately picked two tie games! He has picked 85 per cent correct for the season and has mounted his dart board on the tailgate of his pickup. It's time once again to light up a cigar and toss the magical darts to pick the winners: GEORGIA TECH AT AUBURN: No contest, the War Eagles will eat the Yellow Jackets for lunch. Auburn has recovered from that bad loss to Nebraska and is ready to launch a bid for a bowl game this year. Auburn 27, Georgia Tech 6. DUKE AT CLEMSON: Duke ought to be 5-0 instead of 3-2. If tailback Mike Grayson had learned to carry the ball under his right arm when circling right end, Duke would be 4-1. But Grayson didn't learn this jayvee lesson, fumbled the ball, and Duke lost a heartbreaker to VPI, 22-21. If the Blue Devils had beaten VPI, I'd pick'em over Clemson, but they didn't. Clemson 27, Duke 14. WAKE FOREST AT MARYLAND: This one will be a lots closer than the experts think. Wake Forest hasn't looked that bad recently, and Maryland may take them a little lightly. A Maryland victory will keep them in minor bowl contention, a loss will have the D. C. papers interviewing Lefty Driesell about the basketball team's outlook for the coming season. Maryland 24, Wake Forest 13. EAST CAROLINA AT FLORIDA STATE: ECU ought to ship about 20 truckloads of PCB dirt down to Tallahassee this week and put it on Florida State's practice field. Maybe that would kill the Seminoles. Barring this drastic measure, come Saturday night, Florida State is going to kill ECU. The Pirates will find out that Florida state is worlds better than Missouri — a recent victor over ECU, 28-9. In a laugher, Florida State 45, East Carolina 9. STATE AT CAROLINA: (I almost forgot about this one.) There once was a coach named Kiffin Who's players always seemed to stiffen, When big games were played . His mind always strayed, : And his wolves performed like kittens. j State played like world-beaters against the Heels ; in the first half of last year's game and led 10-0 — > but UNC rallied to win. State might put up a fight for .• half of this one, but they probably will go ahead and ~ take their medicine early on and avoid the heartbreak of psoriasis — or whatever. ; Carolina (on fire) 41, State 7. OTHER GAMES: Boston College over Rutgers, > Navy over William & Mary, Penn State over Syracuse (Ouch!), Pitt over Temple, Florida over West : Texas State, LSU over Kentucky, Louisville over Richmond, Miami over Mississippi State (a killer schedule), Mississippi over TCU, South Carolina over Furman (close), Alabama over Tennessee (Dump Majors campaign is underway), Southern Mississippi over Tulane, West Virginia over Virginia Tech (a possible upset if Cyrus Lawrence plays), and Michigan over Iowa (not a gimme). Also, Illinois over Ohio State (If OSU loses, Coach Earle Bruce is gone!), Oklahoma over Kansas, Minnesota-Indiana (even), Missouri over Iowa State (even), Nebraska over Kansas State, Notre Dame over Arizona, Purdue over Northwestern (the euphoria ends), Wisconsin over Michigan State (a possible upset), Oklahoma State over Colorado, and SMU over Houston (real tough). ; And, Georgia over Vanderbilt, Baylor-Texas . A&M (even), Air Force over Colorado State, . Arizona State over UTEP (ASU might score 100 * points), BYU over Hawaii, California over Oregon j (a toss-up), Washington over Oregon State, USC rover Stanford, UCLA over Washington State, and "Utah over UNLV. | HIGH SCHOOL GAME : WARREN COUNTY AT NOOTH EDGECOMBE: 'The Eagles ire 'back in the saddle again.'

Eagle defenders held the visitors to a single touchdown during the conference match. (Staff Photo) Dynamic Duo Lead Eagles To Victory Warren County's "Dynamic Duo," Alvin Williams and Derrick Davenport, combined for more than 250 yards rushing and three touchdowns Friday night to lead the Eagles to a 26-8 win over previously unbeaten Weldon. Snapping back from two straight losses, the Eagles completely dominated play in the first half, rolling to a 20-0 lead. Davenport and Williams teamed for all three scores, with Davenport going in twice. The 169-pound sophomore speedster tallied on runs of 39 and 34 yards, while Williams added a four-yard burst. Williams also tacked on a two-point conversion for the Eagles. Williams, who alternates with Davenport at the I-back slot, rushed for 182 yards on 24 carries. The Eagles, still fighting for a playoff spot, totaled 317 yards on offense for the pvenincr Coach Bill Frazier, obviously pleased with the result, called the effort by Williams, "exceptional." Frazier switched Richard Frazier from quarterback to wide receiver, and moved Kenneth Yancey from the wide receiver spot to quarterback. The move paid off. In the third quarter, Yancey fired a 17-yard pass to Frazier for the Eagles' final tally of the game. Frazier made a sensational one-handed grab for the score. Weldon, dropping to 2-1 in Roanoke River Conference games and 5-1 overall, managed a touchdown in the final period, long after the issue had been deckled. Quarterback Marvin Handson hit Charlie Harris for the aeon. The Eagles' "Brick Wall" jfrfrmw dominated Weldon in the first half, but Coach Frazier said Us troops "got bogged down in the second half. But we played real good football," added Fraztar. Frazier also credited the play ofhU^rffensive Hargrove. Kearney only saw spot duty as he was nursing an injury. Once again, linebacker Charles Green did not play due to a nagging injury. "We weren't surprised we got the job done," said Frazier, adding, "we played real good football, especially in the first half." Frazier also was pleased with the effort of his offense, which had gone two games without a score. The win improves Warren County's league mark to 2-1, and their overall record to 5-2. The Eagles remain in the championship picture, but must win their remaining three games and hope for West Northampton to lose a league encounter. The Eagles will travel to North Edgecombe for a Roanoke River 3-A battle Friday night. North Edgecombe High School is located at Leggett, northeast of Rocky Mount, on Highways 97 and 44. From Warrenton, take Highway 43 to Rocky Mount, then 97 to Leggett. An alternate route would be Highway 43 to Highway 44 (two miles south of Aventon.) Then take Highway 44 through Whitakers, then 12 miles southeast to Leggett. This will be the Eagles' final regular season road game and will precede an open date next Friday night.

JV 6 Weldon JV 2 Oxford Webb 19 Jordan 6 Clayton 14 Bunn 13 Junior Version Of Wall Stops Weldon WELDON - Their fierce style of play baa earned the Warren County vanity defense the nickname, "Brick Wall," over the past two seasons. Well, Thursday night, the Eagle junior varsity team used their own version of the Brick Wall to take a 6-2 win over Weldon in a conference game. Warren County took a quick 6-0 lead in the game when quarterback Anthony Russell fired a 20-yard scoring strike to Brad Davis on the Eagles' first possession of the contest. The run for the PAT failed, but Warren County had all the points they needed to secure their second Roanoke River win without a defeat. Russell, who's having a good season at quarterback, hit on just 7-of-19 aerials, but did not toss an interception - something that cost the home-standing Charger jayvees dearly The "Little Brick Wall" limited Weldon to just 59 yards on total offense, plucked two enemy passes, had a half-dozen quarterback sacks and put up two goal line stands. "Thedefonse was just awesome," beamed head coach Richard Byrd. They (defense) carried the whole team tonight and did a good job of it." leading the way for Warren County was Rudolph Bishop, who had five sacks for the night. After holding a 6-0 lead throughout the game, Warren County "gave" Weldon a safety in the final minute. The Eagles had fourth down at their own nine-yard line with but 57 seconds to play. Rather than risk a blocked punt or long runback, Byrd elected to give Weldon a safety. That enabled the Eagles to have a free kick from their own 20-yard line and took the pressure off the defense to hold the Chargers. Following the kick, the defense again shut down Weldon's offense. Now 2-0 in league play and 2-2 overall, the defending conference champs will host North Edgecombe tomorrow (Thursday) night. Kickoff is 7 p. m. at the John Graham Field. John Graham Wins Game Over Norlina John Graham scored on their first possession of the game, then held on for a tight 8-0 win over rival Norlina in a middle school game last Wednesday afternoon on the Yellow Jackets' field. The Yellow Jackets moved in for the only score of the game, tallying on a 30-yard pass play for the score and converting the two-point PAT. After that, it was a defensive standoff. Norlina threatened several times, once driving inside the Yellow Jacket one-yard line. But quarterback Alan Ellington was halted just short of the goal line by a stubborn John Graham defense that refused to break. Following its touchdown, the Jackets did not threaten again, but that TD was all Coach John Coleman's forces needed. Norlina had seven first downs in the game and held an 89-80 yardage advantage. John Graham travels to South Hill, Va., today (Wednesday) to meet Park View. Kickoff is 4 p. m. Norlina, now 2-1, travels to Roanoke Rapids today for a 4 p. m. game. — ALLEN OVERBY. Greene's Tallies Are Not Enough FERRUM, VA. Norlina's Joe Greene scored two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough as Chowan fell to powerful Ferrum, 30-18, in a college football game Saturday afternoon. With an Adams Stadium of 4,500 looking on, the speedy Greene scored once in the first half, as Chowan battled the Panthers to a 10-10 (Unrflnfk the college champion, a 10-0 lead after quarter, but watched as the Braves fought back in the second period to tie the score. After a 19-yard field goal by Terry Best trimmed the count to 10-3, Greene tied the score on a one yard But Ferrum dominated play in the second half, moving to a com giving him 14 points for the day. The Panthers' awesome defense shut down Chowan's usually potent running game, limiting the Braves to just 89 yards total offense for the afternoon. Greene was Chowan's top gainer, with 44 yards rushing on 21 carries, added to his TD reception. The loss ended Chowan's three-game winning streak and left the Braves at 3-2-1. Ferrum upped its record to 5-1 for the season. Chowan returns to Murfreesboro for its homecoming game Saturday afternoon against Montgomery ' College. Kickoff time is 2 p. m.
