Ttu don'" go down east and talk football unless you know what

hoping to luck out, or face weak competition , . And as you said,
there are some weak teams In the section, also some “fair-in-the
mtddHng” squads but in the main, the top teams are big, tough and
rough . . . -Kinston, Wilmington, Rocky Mount and New Bern heads

comers to date, on Its eastern schedule and shocked the western foot -
ball family with a crushing 2*3-3 slaughter over once proud High
hoard. , ....
THE GAME OF THE WEEK—RALEIGH vs. NEW BERN
EICON vs. NEW BERN. Oct. IT. in a gala homecoming event
i . . Coach Simon Coates, headman of the J. T BARBER HIGH
SCHOOL WARRIORS, has whipped together his best team since
the 1956 state champions . . . His teams have always been tough
and this year is no exception . . . RALEIGH AND DURHAM have
been football kingpins in central North Carolina; hut New Bern
bolds,a 5-1 advantage in the New Bern-Raleigh series and an 8-1
advantage in ihe New Bern-Hiltside series ... To date, no team

Simon Coates will hank his hopes on a crop of seniors that have
faced ihe LITTLE BLUES on other occasions of great importance
. . . Spearheading the New Bern attack will be end CHARLES
HOLLOWAY, who was chosen all-state end in bis sophomore
rear, and is now capitalizing on his three-year background. In
conjunction with his seasoned classmates LESTER REID, at rigid
halfback. HUBERT HARGETT, at right tackle and weighing 205
lbs., THOMAS KENSEY, right guard, 195 lbs., and PHIL MeCOY,
295 lbs,, playing right guard and defensive right tackle. Holloway
f and company arc- a had hunch of warriors to deal with once they
hit the football field . . .
On the- other bund Raleigh Is tough seasoned, well-poised and
froomed to the tolls of an afternoon frolic, that require* the maximum
amount of exertion to exhaust the opposition to the minimum hope of
ronsumating any kind of victorious expectations that had previously
been conceived by rival football aggregations . . . Led by quarterback
Napoleon Johnson, the Little Blues are d&ngerou:: . . . in running,
passing and inspiring his team to scoring territory Johnson is aid
ed by able cohorts, who refuse to be denied under the most adverse
circumstances . . . Coach PETER HINES WILLIAMS, has the greatest
of confidence in the forward wall that line coach “BUTTS” HILL has <
perfected for his array of fleet-footed and rip-roaring demoralizing i
hacks to perform behind . . . Fletcher Snipes. 6 ft. 4’*-inch end
weighing 174 lbs., center Charlie Watkins, 195 lbs., William “Doodl
um'' Pate at fullback and an assortment of other talented seniors,
gives coach Williams a wrecking crew that ask no quarter in any
department of the game , , .
Coach Jethro Henry of Shelby has in Bobby Bell the best foot
ball player he has seen in North Carolina in 25 years.
Coach Henry was tut all-CIAA tackle at Johnson C. Smith Uni
versity in the early thirties ... A native of StubcnvilJe. Ohio and a
mainstay tackle on the high school varsity, Henry is m u position to
know a superior standout in the glorified gridiron sport when he
secs one , . . Says Henry, "BOBBY BELL is the best football player

J am saying a lot when I say that, considering the BAKERS, BROWN
INGS. SUGGS. BOONES. BREWINGTONS, GALBREATHS. BEIL,-
EMAYS and other stars that have roamed the stripes of the padded
soil, but I can secure sufficient confirmation to support my ‘out on
Hie limb’ statement.” . , . BOBBY BELL STANDS SIX FEET AND
FOUR INCHES TALL, weighs 210 lbs., Is a senior, plays quarterback
and can pass 70 yards with ease and hit a receiver in either eye , . .
His punting is superb, his running is spectacular and hts defensive’
ability is beyond reproach . . . Coach Henry is football coach at.
