HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM MEETS HERTFORD FRIDAY AT 2:30 P. M. Edenton Will Attempt To Keep Goal Line Uncrossed With the Northeastern Conference championship safely tucked under their belts, due to the victory last Friday over Elizabeth City, the Eden ton High School football team this week continued their strenuous work out in preparation for the game on Friday afternoon, when the Aces will journey over to Hertford to combat the warriors of the Perquimans County High School. This is not a conference game, but the local squad will endeavor again to prevent a score against them. Hertford is reproted to have a well coached team and according to in formation from our neighbors the Perquimans boys will be able to put up a hard battle. The game is scheduled to start at 2:30 o’clock in order to allow Per quimans students to remain over for the game. A large crowd of local fans is expecteed to accompany the team. Edenton football fans feel confident the Aces will be able to subdue the Perquimans boys, but Coach House is not taking any chances with over confidence and is drilling the boys in various phases of the game. To date the Aces have won from Suffolk, Beaufort, Chowan College, Greenville, Roanoke Rapids and Elizabeth City, scoring 128 points while no opponent has been able to secure a single point against the scrappy little team. The starting line-up for Edenton will most likely be Rogerson and Bufflap, ends; Sexton and Spruill, tackles; Boyce and Layton, guards; Wozelka, center; Harrell, quarter back; Worth Spencer and Cates, half backs; Paul Spencer, fullback. Edenton people contemplating wit nessing the game are urged to re member that the time for the kick off is 2:30 instead of the usual hour. Y. W. A. HOLDS REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING MONDAY The Young Woman’s Auxiliary of the Bapteist Church held its regular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. J. L.

BOND POST ADOPTS COMMANDER BYRUM’S PLAN FOR YEAR’S WORK Will Use Efforts to Re organize Boy Scout Troup Ed Bond Post of the American Legion held a very interesting meet ing Tuesday night, at which time the post unanimously adopted the pro gram as outlined by W. W. Byrum, the new commander, for the coming year. A committee composed of W. S. Privott, chairman, Joe Conger, C. E. Kramer and M. P. Whichard was ap pointed to meet with a committee from the Rotary Club to discuss the possibility of reorganizing the local Boy Scout troup. It was also decided that in the fu ture any requests for aid by travel ing ex-service men would be referred to the executive committee for ac tion. It appears that this form of re quests for help has been very much abused. Geddes Potter, membership chair i man, appointed the following sub- I committee in an effort to secure more members for the local post: Rocky Hock—J. C. Haste. Yeopim—Joe Boyce and Frank Ward. Greenhall —S. W. Moore and Brady Hare. ■ Cross Roads and Gliden —Lindsay Evans, F. I. White and N. Bunch. Edenton —Joe Conger and Ernest Jackson. The po3t decided to have only one meeting a month instead of two, se ! lecting the first Tuesday in each month, at 7:30 o’clock. : The post discussed at length the Boy Scout situation in Edenton and 1 will acquaint members of the Auxili ary with the action taken in the | hope that the ladies will appoint a committee to take part in this im ' portant work. i • i Jury List Drawn By 1 County Commissioners 1 Names were drawn Monday by the ■ County Commissioners for jury duty 1 for the December term of Superior - Court which will be held in Edenton on December 17.

Red Men Attendance | Contest Gains Interest 1 The attendance contest in the local Red Men tribe is creating a great deal of interest, a large crowd being present at the meeting Monday night to boost their respective sfides, which are captained by Raleigh Hollowell and Joe Habit.

EDENTDN COMPLETELY WHIPS ELIZABETH CITY TO THE TUNE OF 20 toO Yellow Jackets Held to Only One First Down Edenton High School’s highly-toot ed and well-drilled football team Fri day afternoon invaded Hunsucker Field in Elizabeth City to accom plish what ha 3 hitherto been impos sible—defeat the Elizabeth City Yel low Jackets. Coach Henry House’s Aces went beyond the expectations of local fans when the Jackets were trimmed by the score of 20 to 0, thus for the sixth time this season win ning over their opponents and not al lowing a single point to be scored against them. Predictions before the game favored Edenton to win, but not by over one touchdown. The weather was ideal for football and the game was played before a crowd of spectators estimated at all the way from 1,000 to 2,000. It was Edenton’s day at the game, a tre mendous crowd of fans accompany ing the team and cheering for the boys throughout the play. The game somewhat resembled a college affair, with the Elizabeth City Boy Scout Drum and Bugle Corps drilling on the field prior to the game and between halves, as well as the snake dance by the Elizabeth City High School girls, and cheering squads representing both schools. It would be hard to pick individual stars on the local team, except that Paul and Worth Spencer outdid them selves in plunging through the line and skirting the ends for gains. Clyde Lee Cates played his best game of the season, adding yardage and intercepting passes. Bill Har rell also played a bang-up game at quarterback, perfectly handling a number of punts and cutting down Elizabeth City ball carriers. Roger son’s punting was not as good as in the Roanoke Rapids game, but at that gained yardage in exchange of punts. Wozelka at center outplayed Carmine, his opponent, and was a big factor in warding off the charging Jacket backs. Sexton, Boyce, Layton, Byrum and Spruill were powers in the line, preventing any substantial gain through the line and tearing holes in the opposing wall for their backfield mates. Bufflap, one of the lightest men on the squad, had his hands full playing opposite Palmer Ward, but the husky captain of the Yellow Jackets was kept pretty much on the ground in his attempts to tackle Ace runners. The entire Edenton team worked like a well-oiled machine and at no time during the game did the Yellow Jackets seriously threaten to score, being able to secure but one first down on a pass from Boyce to Dail. Edenton gathered 12 first downs, which netted three touch downs, two by Worth Spencer and one by Paul Spencer. Paul added two more points after touchdown, one a line plunge and the other a place ment kick. The first touchdown came early in the first quarter, apparently throwing terror into the Elizabeth City camp when Worth Spencer, with perfect interference skirted right end for the first counter. Paul Spencer made the extra point through the line. The second touchdown came in the second quarter after a series of line plunges by Paul and Worth Spencer, the latter again skirting right end to cross the goal line. Paul Spencer failed to make the extra point by bucking the line. The last counter was registered during the fourth quarter, when Paul and Worth Spenc er on successive plunges ripped open a stubborn Jacket line, Paul carrying the ball over and making a perfect kick from placement for the extra point. Elizabeth City lacked the services of three ineligible players, Shannon house, McKimmey and Cooper, but local fans are of the opinion that had these three players participated there would have been little difference in the outcome. The Jackets played a hard game, but were unable to break through the Edenton line and lacked the ability to complete passes such as defeated the Aces in last year’s contest. The Jacket line also was unable to stop the onrushing Edenton backfield men as they made gain af ter gain through the line and around the ends. Both teams put up a great battle and both Coach Henry House and Coach George Hunsucker were given credit by fans for producing (Continued on Page Eight) Commissioners To Meet At County Home Nov. 28 The Chowan County Commissioners will meet at the County Home on Wednesday, November 28, at 10:00 A.

Union Organizers Fail In Cotton Mill Attempt What appears to have been an at tempt to unionize workers in the Edenton Cotton Mills apparently went for naught the latter part of last week when two men and a lady driving a car bearing a Maryland li cense approached W. D. Wheeler, a cotton mill employe, seeking informa tion. However, the movement gained no heaedway and the party left town just as mysteriously as they came in. According to the attitude of work ers, most of them appear to be satis fied with their lot and are not eager to enter into a movement that most likely would create a hardship. So strong is the loyal feeling among mill workers that it was reported a number of them had plaenned to mob the strangers. No disorder occurred, however. CEMETERY LOT OWNERS ASKED TO PAY DUES The work in Beaver Hill Cemetery is just about completed for 1934, and much credit is due those in charge of this maintenance work.

There are some lot owners, how ever, who have not paid their dues and Mrs. A. S. Smith, the secretary, urges them to 3ee her at once in order to balance her books. The dues of lot-owners are $1.50 per year. MRS. W. D.
