Aces And Yellow Jackets To
Play Most Important Game
*
Both Squads Appear to
Be In Best of Condi
tion For Hard Fight
TEAMS CONFIDENT
Comparative Scores Do
Not Allow Many Pre
dictions
Just about 1,700 pounds of muscle
and brawn from the Edenton High
School .will tomorrow afternoon lock
horns with about the same amount
of football flesh representing the
Elizabeth City High School on the
Tatter’s gridiron. This game, due to
the keen rivalry and importance,
should be the “battle of the century,”
with Edenton struggling to maintain
a clean sheet and overcome the Eliza
beth City team in order to have the
privilege to travel to Chapel Hill to
match wits and strength with
schools representing other sections of
the State. Elizabeth City, on the
other hand, is desirous of smashing
ail Edenton hopes to smitherenes,
and take a crack at the championship
tilt themselves.
Edenton has an excellent record
thus far, having won every game and
preventing their goal from being
crossed to date. Elizabeth City, like
wise, has an enviable record and both
teams will enter the game, feeling
confident that their record will re
main unsullied. Both squads are in
the best of condition and a battle
royal is expected. The Edenton High
School has never been able to defeat
an Elizabeth City eleven, and due to
the excellent showing so far, local
fans are hoping “the impossible” will
be accomplished this year. The win
ner of this game will be entitled to
compete in Chapel Hill for the State
Class B championship, and undoubt
edly both teaffis will put all they have
in the game to gain this honor. The
Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets won
the championship last year, but the
squad lost a number of stars through
graduation.
The starting lineup will most likely
be Rogerson and Bufflap, ends; Sex
ton and Spruill, tackles; Layden and
either Byrum or Boyce, guards; Wo
zelka, center; Bill Harrell, quarter
back; Worth Spencer and Cates, half
backs, and Paul Spencer, fullback.
The game is scheduled for 3:30
o’clock and a large crowd of Edenton
fans plan to accompany the Aces.
The largest and peppiest pep meet
ing yet to be held is planned for to
night at the Court House at 7:30
o’clock. A number of short addresses
Will be made and the usual parade
around town immediately after the
meeting. All students and football
fans are urged to attend in order to
stimulate interest and encourage the
members of the Edenton 3quad.

That conditions in this section
are on the mend, is apparent in
the report of the condition of the
Bank of Edenton to the Com
missioner of Banks at the close
of business on October 17th.

tution has issued in over ten
years, reflecting the up-tum in

COMMITTEE TO AID
NEEDY FARMERS
The local County Farm Debt Ag
ricultural Committee, working under
the Farm Debt Adjustment Commis
sion, held a meeting Tuesday after
noon and adjusted a few cases. The
duty of this committee is to assist
any farmer who is in debt and unable
to find the means to hold off his cre
ditors.
The members of the local commit
tee are Julien Wood, T. C. Byrum,
F. W. Hobbs, R. P. Badham and J.
B. Webb.
Any debtor or creditor seeking a
readjustment in the debt relation
ship, one with the other, may ask this
committee to investigate and make
recommendations to either or both
parties for the purpose of effecting
a satisfactory solution of any exist
ing difficulties.
Application blanks will be furnished -
to either the debtor or creditor seek
ing adjustment. These blanks, sup
plied by members of the committee,
may be used to request the aid of the
committee.
This committee has nothing to do
with the actual refinancing of farm
loans under the Federal farm relief
legislative program.
In commenting on the proposed
work of the committee, one of the
members stated that obviously if the
local committee is to accomplish its
purpose, debtors and creditors who
desire to submit their problems to the
committee should recognize that con
ciliation is the keynote and that the
recommendation of the committee is
for the guidance of both parties in
their efforts to reach a friendly and
mutually satisfactory settlement of
their problems.
Therefore, the committee urges
any parties who would like to avail
themselves of the services of the
committee to get in touch with any
one of the members.

EDENTON HIGH SCHOOL
TROUNCES GREENVILLE
ELEVEN; SCORE 44 to 0
Local Gridders Turn In
Largest Score of
Season
Continuing their Chapel Hill march,
the Edenton High School football
team Friday afternoon easily won
from Greenville High School by a
score of 44 to 0. • Advance reports
were to the effect that Greenville
had a very strong team and would
give the local boys a hard tussle.
The Accs, however, played an ex
cellent brand of football and easily
outclassed Greenville in every depart
ment of the game. The game was
the fifth victory this season for the
locals, and to date their goal line has
not been crossed. The easy victory
afforded an opportunity for the local
gridders to execute new plays which
more than likely will be needed
against Elizabeth City Friday after
noon. Nearly every second string
man was given an opportunity to
play a part of the game. Like pre
vious games, the entire team worked
as a unit, making nine first downs
while Greenville was able to secure
only two, one of those being by the
air route.
A plumber of brilliant plays were
displayed, with Paul and Worth
Spencer gaining most of the yardage.
Cates, Harrell and Cayton ably as
sisted their teammates in rolling up
the largest score this season. Sexton,
Boyce, Wozelka, Byrum, Spruill, Rog
erson and Bufflap all played well in
the line, holding their opponents on
practically every play without a gain.
Two excellent passes were executed by
Paul Spencer, one going to Rogerson
and one to Bill Harrell, both result
ing in touchdowns.
First Quarter
Greenville kicked to open the game,
Paul Spencer returning the ball to
midfield. On the first play Worth
Spencer made a first down. With
five yards by Harrell and three by
Worth Spencer, Paul Spencer made
the second first down. Worth Spencer
and Cates on the next two plays
added another first down, and on two
successive runs Worth went over for
the first touchdown. Paul Spencer’s
kick for extra point failed.
Greenville received and was forced
to punt, but Vernon Spruill blocked
the kick, Rogerson recovering the
ball. After being penalized for off
sides, Worth Spencer tore through
the right end of the line, to cross the
goal line. Greenville wa3 penalized
for off-sides, but Edenton took the
gain, which meant a touchdown.

every service to hear Dr. H. A. Por
ter, pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Charlottesville, Va., who

ings. Dr. Porter is a very pleasing
and forceful preacher, and delivered
splendid sermons during his stay
here. He was unable to remain any
longer, and Baptists, as well as mem
bers of other denominations express
ed regret that the meeting could not
last for a longer period.
Senior Class Renders
Delightful Program
The senior class of the Edenton
High School entertained at chapel
Wednesday morning with an enjoy

stairs, where everything was arrang
ed for the purpose. Several of the
school’s best singers were placed on

Bang, Bang.” Followed a reading by
Clara Meade Smith, a group of five
girls sang “Freckle Face.” The pro

Slight Change Made
In Ferry Schedule
A slight change in the schedule of
the Edenton-Mackeys Ferry will go
into effect November Ist. This
change will affect the last trip leav
ing Edenton, being set up to 4 o’clock
instead of 5 o’clock. The last trip
from Mackeys likewise has been put
one hour earlier, leaving now at 5
o’clock.
The schedule as now arranged pro
vides for the ferry leaving Edenton
daily and Sunday at 7 and 9:30 a. m.
and 1 and 4p. m. It leaves Mackeys
for Edenton daily and Sunday at 8
and 11 a. m. and 2:39 and 5 p. m.
Due to improved roads over high
ways No. 94 (Columbia to Fairfield)
and No. 97 (Plymouth to Belhaven),
patrons will find that the route is
much shorter to Edenton and cities
to the north, thereby affording
quicker service for produce, poultry
and livestock producers to Edenton,
Hertford, Elizabeth City, Norfolk and
Richmond markets.
