The Edenton Aces
Well, folks, the State cham
.pions are about to begin prac
tice -to repeat their record of
last year, of winning the Class
B State championship and going
through the entire season without
being scored upon—a record in
litself.
After talking with some of
the boys, they say they are going
to work hard behind their new
football tutor, Coach Leon Brog
den, former Wake Forest star
athlete. Brogden is not new in
these parts, as he has played
baseball with the Williamston
Martins and has made many
friends in this section.
The team itself will be practically
the same as last year. Clyde Cates,
Bill Harrell, and Richard Rogerson
will be the only veterans lost to the
Aces while Brogden’s greatest diffi
culty will be finding a punter to take
Rogerson’s place.
In the line Bus Wozelka will be
back in his old position at center.
Bus’ additional weight and exper
ience will strengthen the middle of
the line to a great degree. ,
The guards, Melvin Layton, John
Byrum and John Martin Harrell, will
all be back, helping Wozelka stop the
line bucks .the opposing teams, and
using their; speed running interfer
ence for pur backs, j s
In Vernon. Spruill, at tackle, we
have an All-State man this season,
Spruill showed'his' stuff in the East-
West game.last fall and will be one
of Coach Brogden’s line stars. Othei;
tackles of' outstanding ability are
Calvin “'Terrific Joe” Sexton, Jack
Satterfield,'' James Smith and Josiah
Elliott. All of these boys have the
weight and power to throttle down
the opponents’ off-tackle plays.
The ends are not quite so strong.
Lance Bufflap, yeah, he’s “One of the
Buffs” is the only man back who has
had much playing experience but I
hear that James Boyce, who moved
here from Hertford and Reuben Mil
ler will be competing for the other
end.
Clyde Cates and Bill Harrell will
be lost in the backfield but the star
brothers —Paul and Worth, along
with “Little Bud” Cayton and Pete
Everett will be back and ready to go
places. Paul triple threat
man, who rated on the All—State
team last year and will again do the
signal-calling. At this time it looks
as though the punting will be divided
between Paul and Bus Wozelka.
Among new prospects are Bill Gre
gory, James Cozzens, and Charlie
Wood and perhaps others. These
boys are expected to gain experience
this year to place them in the run
ning next season.
The team weight is about the same
as last year but it is some faster
and more experienced. These boys
have worked as a unit and are all
in the game fighting with all their
might.
Coach Brogden will perhaps change
one of the tackle candidates to the
end and transfer Melvin Layton to
the backfield to strengthen his weak
est spots.
The schedule has not been com
pleted at this time but these boys
are getting prepared for a tough
season and even though they know
they are going to win another state
championship are not taking it for
granted but are working like Trojans
and will give the Edenton fans an
other team that they can be proud
of. Hurrah fcr the Aces! ! !
Strange As It Seems
Page Ripley and John Hix—
the gatherers of oddities stranger
than fiction!
The leading club of the Coastal
Plain league—Greenville—did not
even play in the past-season
championship series.
Instead of having a split sea
son the Coastal Plain went
straight on to the end. Then the
first four teams played a series
among themselves to decide who
would play the final series.
Greenville played the No. 4 club,
Ayden, and was defeated in the
“semi” scries. And so Ayden
played Kinston for the league
championship Kinston having
defeated Snow Hill—and the
Kinston team No. 2 in the league
standing, won the Coastal Plain
championship in the final series
with Ayden.
The People’s Friend
With the passing of Senator Huey
P. Long, the Louisiana folk will no
doubt return to a normal style of
living in about 10 or 20 years—l
imagine it will take at least that
long. The Kingfish had his own
ideas about most things and he never
failed to express his opinions. True,
many people mourned his death from
gunshot wounds, but many more ut
tered a sigh of relief when they heard
he was dead. The Kingfish had a
way to getting into other peoples’
hair and finding out a lot of things
that weren’t supposed to be known.
One thing he did do —and that was
putting Louisiana State University
up in the "majors.” Last year Huey!
decided that the Lb S. U. had a top
football team, so he proceeded to put
it among the leaders. In doing so
in his way, he met opposition from
Coach Biff Jones, so he immediately
relieved Coach Jones of his duties.
This year Bernie Moore is head
coach of the Tigers and though the
Tigers have lost only one regular
from last year, the effect of Jones’
resignation and the Kingfish’s death
may have a telling effect on the team.
Nevertheless pre-season reports place
the Louisiana State team tenth in
the U. S. standing, so we will have
to sit tight and see what happens.
The Season Enters
Next Saturday the referees whistle
will install the 1935 Football Season.
The first Big Five game will be play
ed Saturday night in Greensboro be
tween Duke and Wake Forest. Pre
season reports of the Blue Devils
have been somewhat pessimistic due
to graduation and injuries but Coach
Wallace* Whde has- away of doing
things on the gridiron that an ordi
nary coach cannot do. Coach Jim
Weaver has been having nightmares
with his Wake Forest Deacons and
though he has been working them
hgrd in practice preparing for Duke,
the outcome is obvious. The score
last year was Duke 28, Wake Forest
7.-
Davidson will entertain the Elon
gridders next Saturday to open their
season. Elon is considered to merely
be a warmup game for the Wildcats
and they should have no trouble com
ihgh'out- on the big end. The score
.raft, year was Davidson 33, Elon 6.
V't&rolina and State will both be idle
‘oh Saturday, their seasons opening
the 28th, Carolina vs. Wake Forest,
and State battling Davidson.
Louis The Winner
Sports dopesters are picking the
Detroit Destroyer, Joe Louis, to des
troy the playboy fighter, Max Baer,
in the seventh round of their bout
next week, Sept. 24 in Yankee Sta
dium. They claim Baer is not really
training seriously—that it is merely
publicity, and that the Black boy will
have no trouble with Baer after the
seventh round.
That may be true, but I am of a
different opinion. Louis may knock
Baer out in the seventh, but I am
wondering if there’s going to be a
seventh round. With Baer in good
shape there will be a number of hard
licks passed in the early rounds and
as both of these boxers are noted for
their knockout punches, the battle has
a fair chance to end before the seven
th ever comes.
Reports that Louis will retire after
he wins the heavyweight champion
ship do not hold water. The control
behind the Detroit Negro will not let
him walk out on the easy money they
can make after the championship is
his.
But time alone can tell whether
Louis will beat Baer and Braddock
and then retire. So lets’ wait- and
see.
Rambling Here and There
Paul Dean, brother of the immor
tal Dizzy, of the St. Louis Cardinals,
may rank high as a pitcher, but as
a spectator to a prize fight he takes
a back seat. Last week at a fight he
fainted while watching the Cardinals’
bat boy being knocked out by his op
ponent. . The National league race
looks like the pennant will depend on
the last series—between the Cardi
nals and the Cubs. . Detroit has
things locked for the American lea
gue pennant. . Stanford university is
slated to repeat in the Rose Bowl
! game as the western representative.
. Looks like the State College Wolf
pack is gaining class and finesse ac
quired by the major league clubs—
Looks like the big boys are going to
make some changes. . . Upchurch
anil Turbeville, former Coastal Plain
leaguers, have been contributing some
swell pitching for the Philadelphia
Athletics but seem unable to get
backing and therefore have lost some
“should have been won” games. . . .
Red Grange, former grid star and
now assistant coach of the Chicago
Bears, is having a tough time trying
to side-step the law. Grange was
arrested as a hit-and-run driver and
told the officers he was too busy
making >a broadcast. The law didn’t
like his attitude.
