The West Mont;'omery Warriors wound up 19&2 football activity in- Mcntremery County Friday nirht in a blazeof .'lory by defeating the East Montgomery Eagles 7-0 in the second'annual East-West classic. The win fave the Warriors a two game edge over the Eaples who were de- fe ate d - las t ye ar 1L^*6- The Warriors,in postinf. their second win of the sea son, ran their overall record to 2-7-1 while East fin ished 0-10. In Central Tarheel Conference activity, West collect«d a 1-2-T record for a fourth place finish behind Siler City (4-0), Rohannen (2-1-1), Randleman (1-1-2), and ahead of East Montromery (O-^). Pre-sea son ratings placed the teams in this same position. Despite a slow drizzle which eventually became a downpour, a fine attendance was recorded by East Mont- gomery offi cials, The season's grand finale was that and no less as touch and go football was displayed with either team capable of leaving victor. Fumbles and illusive passes were prevalent on th^ wet but polished East turf. Said Coach Fred Brady of West Montgomery, "The wet probably hampered both teams, but we got the breaks when we need ed them. The first half was theirs, the second, curs." West, whose seemingly ineffective attack rose to power in the second half, took advantage of a costly fumble on the East Montgomery six yard line in the final period and promptly proceeded to score. Jimny Saunders recovered' "the blunder and fullback Johnny "Mocr" Farris moved the ball into position on drives of four and one yards. Quarterback Charles Bruton "sneaked** over to end the brief but effective crusade. Harris tore throuc^h for the extra point giving West the needed 7 point ad vantage . East Montgomery posed a majcr threat in the 2nd quar ter as a powerful drive resulted in a touchdown gallop. The play was nullified, however, by a penalty against the offense, thus giving West the opportunity to retal iate. These were the breaks Brady spcKe of. Offensively, West Montgomery’s ground gain was spark- ed by the mightly driving of "Moon" Harris who gained 52 big yards. Harris was followed by Gene Pridgen with 12, C. D. Thompson with 9, and Bruton with 6. Four of West’s 5 passes went away. Both completions were Bruton passes for a 10 yard gain. The first went to Thompson for 2 ^anls; the second to Jimmy Presslar for 8. The^ Warriors gained 6 first downs. Bruton, whose punts rolled for exceptional yardage, kept East in the hole with a 35 yard punting average in 5 atterrpts. His Icngest boot fell 46 yards. Penalties increased as the game progressed. Only 5 yards down at the half, West managed to pick up an additional 50 yards in penalties in the closing quarters. Three rainslick fumbles were lost and 3 were rec.overed.
