Colored Football
Team Plays First
Game On Friday
Rich Square Aggrega
tion Will Invade Lo
cal Gridiron
j
While the Edenton Aces are try
ing to give a good account of them
selves against the undefeated and un
scored-on Elizabeth City Yellow
Jackets on the latter’s gridiron Fri
day afternoon, the Edenton colored
high school football team will be
playing its first game of the season
on the Edenton field. The opponent
will be Rich Square High School and
from advance reports the game
should be a battle royal.
Coach Walter Slade, new coach at
the Edenton school, has a handicap
similar to that of Coach Jimmy
Maus at the white school in that he
has a group of light and inexper
ienced material with which to build
up a formidable machine. Only four
veterans appear among the squad of,
recruits around which nucleus the
team had to be developed. The boys
have been practicing faithfully for
several weeks, however, and while
Coach Slade and his boys are making
no predictions as to the outcome or
Friday’s game, if hard practice!
means anything, they figure they will
have a fighting chance to win the first
game.
The starting whistle will be sound
ed at 2:30 o’clock, and with the
cheering squad all primed for the
opener, the game should be very ex
citing.
Big Clipping Agency
Enjoys Chowan Herald
If you were to visit Bumelle’s
Press Clipping Bureau in downtown
Manhattan, you’d find a hundred
young girls doing nothing but read
ing newspapers and magazines. The
officers, which overlook the Hudson
River, are as quiet as a library
reading room, and all you see are
newspapers stacked in piles ready to
be read and clipped. Harold Wynne,
a young college graduate who is
president of this unusual organiza
tion says:' “Our girls enjoy reading
The Chowan Herald because it con
tains so many interesting items about
our clients.”
Burrelle’s Press Clipping Bureau
was started back in 1888 with two
readers and a handful of papers.
Frank Burrelle, the originator of the
clipping bureau idea and founder of
Burrelle’s, overheard one man ask
another if he had seen the article in
the morning paper which mentioned
his name. From this conversation
began an organization which today
has branch offices all over the world
and spends more than $40,000 a year
for newspaper and magazine sub
scriptions.
