AlIC 11CU UCMI5 UL luuur
City opened their 1961 foot
ball season with a bang here
Friday night by smashing
arch-rival Whiteville 18-0.
The game, played before a
packed-to-overflowing crowd,
was marked by three specta
cular scoring plays by Tabor
City and rugged defensive
work by both teams.
Tabor broke into the scor
ing column early in the first
quarter .
After moving to the White
ville 18yard line, halfback
Bobby Soles took a pitch-out
from quarterback Roger Small
and turned on a dazzling dis
play of speed as he skirted left
end and went into the end
z<>ne standing up.
vThe try for the extra point
was good, but was nullified
by an off-side penalty. The
nexi iry, irom live yarns far
ther out. was in» good.
The second score, which
came only minutes before the
half ended, was provided by
quarterback Roger Small, who
proved to be one of the leading
ground gainers for the Red
Devils .
To set up the scoring play.
Small carried the ball from
deep in his own territory, 32
yards to midfield .
On the following play, which
was designed as a hand-off to
the fullback. Small found that
he was unable to get the bail !
to his man. Spotting the* hole

The game was played under
ne.:r perfect conditions, al
though the turf was somewhat
slippery due lo a light thund
civtorm earlier in the day.
An unusually heavy turnout
for the game forced several
hundred spectators to stand a
long tile sidelines.
Kxoessive penalties were
called against both teams in
the I'irst half, as over anxious
and keyed-uμ players repeat
edly committed infractions of
tin- rules.
The second half, however,
was played more smoothly.
Both teams -demonstrated
that they were well prepared
for this opening game. I
Defensive tackling and of-1
fcn.sive down-field blocking
was hard and clean.
The middle men in the Wolf

utstanding part of the visit

"My family and I liked liv

but frankly I don't think the
town is as progressive as it
might be.
"There are a number of peo

to have pretty much control
over the changes that are
made, and they think of the
town as a village, and they
want to keep it that way.
"From what I've been told
