Quarterback To Be Key Bulldogs Hope To Improve On Last Season Record The 1968 edition of the Louisburg High School Bull dogs is about ready for un veiling. The gridders began getting down to the head -knocking last week with more of the same in process for this week. Tommy Twitty of Warren ton, who coached the Junior High School squad last season is head varsity coach this sea son. He says he is making "no predictions, but hopes to im prove over the 1-9 record racked up last year". Twitty says, "Quarter backing will be the key to this squad's succccess this sea son". The Bulldogs lost vet eran quarterback Jimmie Geddie and back-up quarter back Mike Wrenn to gradua tion. Twitty has two sopho mores and a freshman as can didates for the slot. He says Robbie McDonald and Jimmy Wrenn are "good competitors" and that fresh man Larry Fuller "shows po tential" at the position. McDonald was Junior High quarterback two years ago but received an ankle injury that sidelined him this past season. This is Wrenn's first trip out. Fuller led the Junior High "Pups" to an undefeat ed season last year, losing the Oxford Booster Bowl game in the closing seconds of play. He was chosen the game's most valuable player. Twitty is also looking a second tackle from among the 35 candidates already out for drills. Bill Taylor has about sewed up the center spot and Steve Perdue seems destined to handle the end post vacated when Bill Ben ton moved to Roanoke Rapids. The "big man" is back in Thomas Finch, chosen All Conference and 1-A AU East last year for his play at offen sive end and defensive line backer. "He's one of the best high school football players I've ever seen", Twitty says with pride. Other starters returning to this year's lineup include, Phillip Robertson and Charlie Hobgood at the halfback posts. Both are outstanding players. Neil McDonald is back at fullback and T*(itty considers this position filled. The guard spots are set with Edward Pergerson, a sophomore starter returning and Tommy Wrenn, a senior back for his final year. Johnny Pernell has one tackle post sewed up. "Johnny should be one of the best tackles in the conference", Twitty says. He says Robert son and Hobgood are good "break-away threats" and that McDonald is "a good power runner." The second tackle position is expected to be filled by John Kornegay or Steve Roberson, neither of whom have been available for prac tice thus far. Twitty has 12 lettermen returning and three other re turnees on whom he says he will "rely heavily". Nine star ters from last year's team are missing. Lost to graduation were: Geddie, Wrenn, Billy Fuller, Jimmy Chesson, Doug Estep, Noel Smith. Bill Ben ton moved, Mike Patterson is going away to school and Ray Patterson played out his eligibility. Twitty says he believes South Granville and Oxford Orphanage will be the teams to beat this year in the Tar River Conference. Helena Coach Dave Hodge has also picked these two squads. Wakelon mentor Elton Robertson picks the Vikings and Helena. The Bulldogs may not be picked, but if Twitty can pull an adequate quarterback from his sleeve and fill a tackle and end spot sufficien-. tly, the Bulldogs could be surprising. It promises to be an interesting season. And It opens here Friday night, September 6, against Elm City.

They voted to conduct a sale of athletic cushions which are made of foam rubber and covered with material designed with Phantom emblems on one side and ads on the other.

Scott Talks To Firemen Raleigh-Lt. Gov.

"Many people, especially mothers, are finding it convenient to teach part-time. Most of these part time teachers are proving highly suc cessful. "Obviously the 20 percent salary increase over a two-year period has helped to retain and attract more teachers," he added. 'Teacher supply seems to increase in the wake of improved salaries. Conversely, the supply diminishes when salaries lag." The 1967 Legislature increased teachers salaries for the 1967-68 school year by 10 percent over what was paid in 1966-67. An additional 10 percent, above the 1966-67 scale, was provided for the up-coming 1968-69 school year. The new survey showed 316 teach ing vacancies in the high schools of the state; special education (teachers of special classes for the mentally and physically handicapped) needed 98 teachers; vocational education, 34; health and physical education, 17; music, 44; and art, 19. Six elementary schools, eight senior high schools, and three union schools needed principals. Forty-two librarians, 22 counselors, and 13 supervisors also were needed on August 12. Fourteen county and city school systems reported no vacancies in certi ficated staff positions. School systems' reporting 20 or more vacancies were Haywood, 20; Anson, Bertie, Randolph, 21; Cleve land, Vance, 22; Beaufort, Columbus, Edgecombe, Henderson County, Moore, Nash, 23; Union, 24; New Hanover, 26; Wake, Wayne, 26; Gran ville, 27; Harnett, 29; Halifax, 31; Greensboro, 35; Onslow, 57; and Gas ton, 63.
