son—Womble, Dickens
Stars
Roanoke Rapids defeated Aulander
High School here last Friday 14 to6
ir. a rather hard fought battle. The
visitors presented one fast running
back in Rogerson at quarter, and twc
good linemen in Parker at guard and
Rogerson at end.
It was the visitors' first defeat of
the season. Womble scored first for
Roanoke Rapids with a fast twistimr
run around Aulander’s left end. I*
was a pretty gallop and Roanoke Ra
pids was awarded the extra point on
Aulander’s off-side. The battle see
sawed up and down the field until the
third uiro ter when <4Sc>'oy" Pickens
who had substituted for Cant Sta-kes
cut hack on a wide run and weaved
his way through a broken field run
ninir. Pickens sidestepped about feuv

One of the outstanding games of
tht South will be played at Chapel
Hill Saturday when Georgia Teen and
Carolina clash. You could travel for
a long distance and not find a game
with any more color and rivalry than
this affair. Grantland Rice picks this
game as one of the four outstanding
affairs of the Southland. It will be
Koir-eoming Day for Carolina grads.
N. C. State finally won a game by
trouncing Mississippi A. & M. 14-0.
Doc Sermon and the new coaching
staff evidently put new life and pep
in the Raleigh outfit. Troy Goodman
former Yellow Jacket star from Roa
noke Rapids, is on the Wolf Pack
Squad.
SPORT
BRIEFS
Navy made a very good house cat
out of the Princeton Tiger as they
walloped them good and proper 31-0.
This surely gives Duke a nice rating,
although Duke could only beat \Yof
for 1-1-0. You cannot tell a thing
by comparing scores.
Judging from the News and Ob
server write up of the Mississippi
A. & M.. game vs State, former Ra
’eigh High School players won the
game.

Om iking essential t • a vin-'ng

Uapids has not got. It st em m t: is
oi *■-that there is just not. any
drive or pen there*. Wo liko t » see j
| a f- otball team with that do-or-die
spirit but it seems as if the 1 eai '
■Iliad takes things more or less in a I
: .atter of fact way. “If we win O.K., !
if we h se, the same thing." They i
just have not got the fight. We hope ;
before the season is over we can see '
them go int ' a game with all the pep
and fight that really makes a foot
ball team.
We have been wondering who will
be the next years football captain.
Its going to be a hard matter to de
cide but after all it settles down to
one player. A captain has to be more
than just captain. He mud under
stand all the boys, be congenial, must
have a winning personality and above
all of these he has to be a fighter and
have the ability to make others fight.
A player who never gives up, who '
fights until the last whistle, that’s
the ideal captain in any sport.

Game Here Friday' Promises to
Be Outstanding of Season
Locals In Good Shape
With a chance to tie for the top po
sition in the Northeastern Athletic
Conference, the local High School
Yellow Jackets will take on the fast
traveling Elizabeth City Highs here
Friday.
The game promises to he one of the
best affairs of the present season.
A win for the local Highs will put
them in a tie for first place in the
Conference. Washington and Roanoke
Rapids are now tied for second place,
Elizabeth City trouncing the Wash
ington lads 20 to 12 last Friday.
Washington had previously defeated
Ro.-m-ke Rapids 19 to 'be locals’ on
lv defeat of the season.

.Judging from all reports the foot
ball squad had better settle down to
iraining this week and stay away
from all Halloween parties. You
can't be a party boy and win Confer
ee e championships.
Clyde Mills is not showing the stuff
this season that made him All-Confer
ence tackle last year. We do not
know what is the matter. Maybe it
is the injury he suffered early in the
season, but the fact remains that he
has not got the pep or drive that a
lineman should have. The same thing
with Cullom, one minute he looks like
an All-Conference tackle and the next
minute he looks like a spectator. Cul
lom’s trouble is that he gives up too

We have but one lineman that could ;
be really considered for All-Confer
ence honors. Yes, we have the ma
terial but they have not been coming
thru—Coach Hoyle will agree, and
when you go down and look over such
beef as Cullom. Clyde Mills and Wil
ton Brown you will probably wonder
why they have not been tearing up
lines all the season—well! we have
been wondering, too. This little
“Snooks” Matthews has been leading
the way all season. j
The backs have but one big failing
and that is running by the ends and
not clipping them out. A flock of in
terference will start out in front of
the ball Carrier and run right by the
opposing end and let him come straigt
thru and nail the runner. They will
ge tout in practice and hit ends all
day, then get into a game and you
would think they had never seen one.
Just a case of not thinking.
If we beat Elizabeth City Friday it (
will have to be a much improved foot
ball team from that which faced Au
lander and Greenville. The Jackets !
beat Kinston 1 l-'!. Elizabeth City beat
them 62-0. W'a hington beat the Ra-I
' ids 19-6. E! ab th City beat Wash
