Are* fans will have an opportunity to see professional
football at Carter Stadium Saturday, September 6, when the
Detroit Lions meet the Philadelphia Eagles. The event is
sponsored by the Raleigh Jaycees and several locals have
already obtained tickets. Many father-son combinations are
planning to attend. Tickets are on sale around Raleigh. For
information contact Duke Fentress. Raleigh Jaycees, 724 St.
Mary's Street, Raleigh, N. C. 27605.
Two football games scheduled for Friday night will be
watched closely here. Needless to say there is a great interest
in the Franklinton-Gaston tilt slated for Franklinton. Of equal
importance will be the Scotland Neck-Murfreesboro opener at
Murfreesboro. Louisburg will play Scotland Neck here on
October 17 and the annual County Championship between the
Rams and the Bulldogs will be played at Franklinton on
September 19.
The Friday night game at Franklinton will give Louisburg
fans a chance to join with Ram fans to view the game. This is
the first such opportunity in years. The two teams play at the
same time each week in the season making it impossible for
fans from either school to see the other team except when
they meet each other. Should make for a good crown Friday
night at Franklinton. Game time is 8 P.M.
Louisburg will play four teams rated in the top ten in
preseason rankings and Franklinton will play three. The
"world's only rankings of Eastern Carolina Prep squads" by
Grady Elmore of the News and Observer places Louisburg foes
Ayden (3); Warrenton (4); Oxford Orphanage (6) and Wakelon
(10). Ram foes are Weldon (2); Oxford Orphanage and
Wakelon. Weldon was eliminated last year in the playoffs by
Ayden after downing Tar River Champ South Granville.
Ayden went on to win the Class A crown.
Playing rated teams is a tough assignment but if one is
downed, the rewards seem greater. It should be an interesting
season for both Ram and Bulldog fans.
Louisburg has been having some injury problems. The most
serious is a knee injuryto sophomore linesman Mike Pearce
which required surgery last week. End Will Wilder has a
sprained ankle, Bobby Fuller had a knee injury and several
players have had an ear infection which is suspected might
have come from swimming more than from football drills. The
Bulldogs open next week at Elm City.

Why Enfield Dropped Football
From The Enfield (N. C.) Progress
Enfield high ichool will be
without a football team this
year The decision not to
field a team was made by
Principal Ed Smith last week
after being informed by
Coach Mike Dubis that he
would not return here this
fail. Dubis phoned Principal
Smith that he had accepted
an assistant coaching post at
Sanford High School.
While Principal Smith said
the local school would have
had a team if Dubis had
returned, he emphasized that
the coach's resignation was
not the only reason for the
decision, which was reached
after discussing the situation
with a group of fans from the
community, first by in
dividual contact and then at a
meeting of parents and fans
during the week.
"We simply do not have
any material," Smith declar
ed. "Only seven boys are
coming back from last year
and only about 20 boys have
indicated they intend to play
football. None of these boys
have any size with the excep
tion of one or two, and I
certainly do not want to put
these boys against much
stronger schools without a
good man to take care of
them. Some of the competing
schools, he said, have a pool
of 75 or more boys to draw
from. To pit against them the
material that is available at
A man matures as he
learns what other people
know and learns to laugh at
himself.
the Enfield school, he said,
would be most unwise.
At the meeting held in the
school auditorium, it was in
dicated that financial support
for the team would be avail
able, but the principal held to
his decision for the reasons
given. '
The principal discussed the
situation with Coach Carson
Harmon, basketball and base
ball mentor, who offered to
handle football this year, but
Smith still decided against
fielding a team.
"This was a difficult and
frustration situation in which
to make a decision, because I
realize several young boys
want so much to play foot
ball," Smith commented de
jectedly. "But I have to try to
do what is right for the boys.
Most of the people I have
talked with have agreed with
me, but twice as many will
not."
Dubis phoned Smith from
the annual Coaches Clink at
Greensboro and informed the
principal of his acceptance of
the new job. The Enfield
principal said that disappoint
ment and shock were his re
actions to Dubis' announce
ment.
Smith said that Dubis was
not getting a larger supple
ment to go to Sanford, but
told the principal his wife had
a chance to work and that
both he and his wife needed
the extra income.
Summing up the situation,
Smith declared:
"Because of the number of
boys interested in football,
the size of these boys, the
finances and just one coach, I
have decided not to compete
in football this year." i
A number of the boys who
want to play football are
making efforts to be enrolled
in schools in neighboring
towns which will have foot
ball teams, it is reported.
