Olympic Committee, LIFE Magazine and other organi zations, is spearheading a nation wide “Money March” to finance expense of sending l'. S. athletes to Australia, Italy and Mexico. The drive begins this week and will continue through December 15, President Eisenhower has been au thorized to proclaim October 16 as National Olympic Day in conjunc tion with the fund-raising drive. Each Jaycee is to “sponsor” one money container and to fill it at football games and other athletic events in coordination with a nat ional press, radio, and television publicity campaign to help raise the more than one million dollars needed to finance the team. Hats will be passed around at the Eden ton-Elizabeth City football game Friday night in order to receive contributions.

Coach Billings points out that Elizabeth City has “practically the . same team that it had last year,” and that "they beat us. 19-6 last j season when we had one of the best . teams in Edenton history.” The amiable mentor also stated that “they have the heaviest line ! we’ll face all season, and they are i not joking when they call it one of the best in North Carclira, Why, we’ll feel that we’v. done a good jot if we can score on them,” Another aspect of the contest that has Coach Billings worried is the threat of injury to his players.

A loss to Elizabeth City wouldn’t mar the Aces’ unbeaten Class A record, but a loss to any of the four rivals to be met after Fri day night’s game would be disas trous to Edenton’s conference and state • isle hopes. In rolling to its four straight shutout victories thus season, Eliz abeth City has downed Durham County 39-0, Jacksonville 14-0, Washington 20-0 and Roanoke Rap ids 25-0. Edenton has rallied from an opening game loss to the same Ro-j anoke Rapids team (20-13), to I score three victories—two of themj over Class A opposition. The Aces ( downed Great Bridge, Va., 19-6, Williamston 34-6, and Beaufort 42-6. In each of th e last two bat tles, the Aces have amassed a yard age total of .360-plus. * • But the Yellow Jacket line fig-' ures to lie able to hold the Eden ton attack in check by its past Per formances. With veterans of Inst year’s team in every position, the jackets average around 200 pounds per man from end to end. Edon ton’s light, speedy line checks in at an average of 160 pounds per men. 1 Playing against bigger oppon ents won’t be a new story to the Aces, since it’ll be the fifth straight week that they’ve don e so. But the Jacket forwards have weight with know-how, where the-weight pack ed by some of the Aces’ earlier op ponents hindered, rather than help ed. their cause. For the second week in a row, regular halfback Jerry Dowium will ride the Edenton bench Downum, injured two weeks ago in the Williamston game, has a more serious ailment than was earlier di [ agnosed, and will probably not see I action until the Hertford game [week after next. Downum has a shoulder separation. Johnny Kramer, Edenton °ni who was out last week, has -recov ered from a mild illness and will be ready for action against the Jackets. Edenton’s main threat to Eliza beth City’s record rests with a trio of fleet backs, and the running and passing ability of Quarterback Stu art Holland. Holland, who has scored three touchdowns in each of the Aces’ last two contests, can call on speedy halfbacks Tom Bass and Billy Bunch and fullback Chan Wil-| son to put punch in the Aces’ at tack. Elizabeth City hasn’t been all de fense this season, either. Big Douglas Rogerson has led the way to most of the Jackets’ touchdowns ! behind the blocking of th e big for ward wall. Scouting reports show that the Jackets depend mostly on straight “T” formation power plays, taking advantage of their powerful path-clearing linemen. Quarterback Jerry McGee is also a threat in both the passing and running departments. So, the age-old question of whether a good little team ran beut a good big team again demands an answer. And, though Edenton fans are hopeful of their first victory since 1949 in the long series, all of tho figures seem to point to just another link in Elizabeth City’s chain of success.
