Leary Called Primary Factor In Elon Season Record ELON COLLEGE Football players today are getting bigger, stronger and more mobile, and many people feel there is no longer a place in the game for the little man. Eton’s Curtis Leary, a senior flanker from Eden ton, can’t be convinced of that because the 5- 9, 164-pounder is one of the primary reasons the Fighting Christians have posted a perfect 8-0 record in 1973 and have lost only once in Eton’s past 17 games, setting a school record for 11 wins in a row in the process. A product of Edenton’s Holmes High School, Leary has been a starter for Elon since the third game of his freshman season. He has been the team’s leading receiver for the past three campaigns. His total of 16 catches for 405 yards and his three touchdowns are tops for the Maroon Gold in the receiving department this season, but the diminutive flanker has drawn double coverage for most of Elon’s eight contests. “I’m not getting thrown to as much this season as I have been VOTE ROY L.

But the big gainers have been primarily brought about by the antics of Leary, who is averaging 25.3 yards per catch. “We have been getting a lot of long gainers because the defensive halfbacks have been coming up quick and I would break the pattern and Elon Quarterback Joe (West) would catch it and we’d get a big gain,” explained Leary. “Joe and 1 seem to be able to work quite well that way and he always seems to know when I’m going to break a pattern.” Elon has been noted for some time as a passing team, but this season the Maroon and Gold has shown exceptional offensive balance. Leary feels that this has been a big reason for Elon’s success and could be a major factor in the team achieving its 1973 goal—an undefeated season and the NAIA national championship. “We’ve been able to run and throw the ball equally well,” he noted. “We fell like that’ll be a big factor for us this season and could be the difference in our achieving or not achieving our goal.” And back to the old question of size. Has that ever caused problems for Leary? “I guess size has been a factor in my playing career,” he commented. “Every time I line up the defensive back is always bigger than I am, but it just seems natural now. That doesn’t make me feel inferior on the playing field. It might make a difference to someone else, but not to me.” One other claim to fame that Leary has is that he holds the Elon and Carolinas Conference record for most touchdown receptions in a single game four. That feat was performed against Lenior Rhyne last season when Elon romped to a 58-19 win. It just so happens that the co-holder of that record with Leary is ex-Elon All-America who is now the tight end for the Green Bay Packers, Richard McGeorge, a burly 6-5, 245 pounder. Who says size makes any difference? Dental Facts Unless a child who wears braces brushes his teeth care fully after every meal, bacteria can get in the wires of the braces and cause periodontal problems, a Public Affairs Pamphlet on teeth explains. . However, many individuals who wear orthodontic appli ances. including braces, find that the touch of most tooth brushes makes brushing hurtful. A new toothbrush recently made available by .Block Drug Company may prove helpful. The new brushes, called Sensodyne Gentle, have ultra soft, gentle bristles and are de signed to make it possible to reach into difficult areas to maintain preventive brushing. THE CHOWAN HERALD M Capacity Cotton Harvest Is Reported Near perfect weather, unusually fast harvest, excellent quality cotton, unsettled market conditions and slightly lower prices marked the Tar Heel cotton situation this week according to E. M. Stallings, extension economist at N. C. State University. “Harvest for the season to date has been at over three times the pace of last year,” states Stallings. “Gins are being operated near full capacity, trailers are kept loaded and most fields are fully open and ready for picking. While N. C. harvest has been very rapid, U. S. harvest has been very slow at about one-fourth last year’s rate.” E. C. Hanson of the Raleigh Cotton Classing Office reports that 43,684 bale samples had been classed through October 19 and another 5,000 samples were on hand. Lint quality continues excellent. Ninety-four per cent of all samples to date classed white and 6 per cent light spotted. Grade 41 accounted for 47 per cent of the samples, followed by grade 50 for 21 per cent and grade 51 for 21 per cent. Stallings adds that excellent fineness and maturity of fiber readings show 97 per cent in the desirable range of 3.5 to 4.9 and .uniformity measures above average. Fiber length has been outstanding and indicated 11 per cent with staple 34, 84 per cent with staple 35 and 5 per cent with staple 36 and longer. Fiber strength has been quite high, averaging 85,000 pounds per square inch for zero gauge measurements. Compared to six other southeast classing areas, N. C. cotton has shown the highest per cent desirable mike, the greatest breaking strength and the second highest grade and staple length. So N. C. cotton is certainly of very high quality and desirable to the trade so far this year. “The market situation was rather unsettled during the past week and prices trended slightly lower,” continues Stallings. “Prices paid at N. C. gins ranged from 73 to 78 cents gin run. They were mostly 74 to 78 cents for grade 41, 72 to 76 cents for grade 50,70 to 74 cents for grade 51 and 65 to 68 cents for grade 61 with staple 34.” The total supply of upland cotton in the U. S. for 1973-74, according to Stallings, is expected to be about 17.1- million bales. This includes the August 1 carryover of nearly 4- . million plus estimated production of 13-million. Cotton use and export will probably total about 13.3-million leaving a carryover of only 3.8-million bales next August. weather, harvest, I Am Now Taking Orders For Made To fit!
