I While losing to Edenton by ; a 25-0 score, the Indians play I ed a creditable game, giving the Aces a better battle than in dicated by the final score. Fumbles proved costly to Per quimans at Edenton and set up I most of the Aces scoring op portunities. I Neither team looked impres 1 sive last Friday night. Edenton scored its first TD when Per quimans fumbled the first time it had the ball and the Aces scored in four plays. Perquim ans bounced back and for a while it appeared the Indians might tie the count but Eden ton held for downs and the In dians were forced to punt. Edenton scored two touch downs during the first half and two in the second period to tally its total of 25 points. Dix on and Forehand were the offensive-stars for Edenton. Nixon, Reed Matthews and McGoogan played well on de-. fense for the Indians while Winslow,; Sawyer and Lilly did fine jobs on the defense. " Perquimans now , has a 2-2 record in the..
