The Warren Record, Warrenton, North Carolina, Wednesday, September II, 1M4— Page 4B Davenport Leads Warren County To 19-18 Win On Monday Night Warren County shook off a rash of first-half turnovers, changed blocking assignments at intermission, and went on to outdistance home standing Northampton West Monday night in a non-conference contest, 19-18. The loss was the first of the year for Northampton West, and left Warren County with a 1-1 mark. The second half proved to be the Derrick Davenport Show as the 177-pound senior run ning back tore the Hur ricane defense to shreds. Davenport had a strong supporting cast, led by a 179-pound junior, Leonard Williams, who played at the fullback position during the second half. Davenport got the Eagles off to a fast start, breaking free on a 60 yard run which gave the visitors a momentary lead. The decision was made to try for two points on the conver sion, but the attempt failed.

Chapter Chairman George W. "Bill" Davis feels the fund-raising function should be marked on the calendar by anyone who is interested in the future of North America's waterfowl. "The Ducks Unlimited success story," said Davis, "is really starting to spread around. Banquets much like our chapter event held throughout the country last year contri buted towards Ducks Unlimited's national fund-raising effort which raised $38.2 million during 1983 alone. But what's even more important to realize," said Davis "is that this national fund raising total must in crease this year if the North American water fowl habitat race is to be won." DU's sportsmen/con servationists founders discovered through sur veys conducted 45 years ago that seventy percent of North America's waterfowl production occurs in Canada. They figured out back in 1937 what holds true today. Since Federal duck stamp dollars cannot be spent beyond U. S. bor ders, sportsmen funds earmarked for water fowl conservation are not getting to the places where the great percent age of production takes place. But through Ducks Unlimited's ef forts, over $237 million has been raised in the U. S. since 1937. And the Lion's share of every one of those dollars has been sent to DU Canada to reserve some 3.3 million acres of prime habitat encompassing over 2,400 wetland projects. The only problem in all this is that biolog ists estimate millions of additional acres of habitat must be re served in order to stabilize North America's waterfowl population. When you consider that habitat today is diminishing due to agricultural and de velopment pressures, and that DU is the only nonprofit conservation organization involved in , the Canadian waterfowl habitat race, you can begin to see the sig nificance attached to the organization's fund raising events. Tickets, which are $35 each, include a one-year DU membership and a subscription to the organization's maga zine.

In the second quarter the Hurricanes padded their lead on an 11-yard scoring run and Ted Squires tacked on the extra point. With three seconds remaining in the second quarter, Squires capped a North ampton West march with a field goal that gave the Hurricanes an 18-6 lead. During tne tirsi nau, the Eagles were thwart ed by three intercepted passes and another pass that was dropped and ruled a fumble. In the second half the Eagles had only one miscue. It was in the locker room at half time that adjustments were made in blocking for the off tackle plays that were to free Davenport. They seemed to work to per fection. The Eagles marched goalward as Davenport reeled off runs of 12,17, 11, 12 and 21 yards before quarterback An thony Russell sneaked over from three yards out to bring Warren County back into conten tion. Alan Ellington, a sophomore kicking specialist, split the uprights with what proved to be the winning margin after the Eagles scored first in the second half. Russell sneaked over from a yard out to begin the fourth quarter, and despite the fact that a two-point conversion at tempt failed, the Eagles had all the points they needed. During the game the Eagles racked up 15 first downs while hold ing their hosts to nine. Coach Bill Frazier had words of praise for his defensive unit, which was led by Joel Valen tine, Donald Terry, Steve West and Randy Williams. The Eagles get their first taste of conference warfare Friday night when they travel to Southeast Halifax for an 8 p. m. encounter with Coach Selby Merritt's Trojans. lne irojans, wno finished third in the con- : ference last year and posted a 6-4 record, opened with a 44-6 win over Murfreesboro, followed by a 35-14 loss to Southwest Edge combe. Last Friday night they watched as a last minute pass play brought a 26-20 defeat at the hands of Louisburg. Warren's Jayvees Get First Victory Donnell Kearney's three-yard scoring plunge in the final quar ter brdke open a defen sive struggle between junior varsity teams from Warren County High School and North ampton West here on last Thursday night. The Eagles, notching their first win for head coach John Coleman, needed only Kearney's run to register a 6-0 win. Kearney, playing in the tailback position, was the leading rusher for the winners. The Eagles had another score called back in the fourth quar ter, this on Marvin Harrison's 52-yard punt return, nullified because of a clipping in fraction. Coach Coleman was high in his praise of Mark Lawhorn, Mark Pitchford and Tony Davis in leading the defensive effort, which overshadowed the offen sive performance. "Offensively, Pitch ford was instrumental in helping move the of fense," Coleman said. Thursday night, at seven o'clock, the Eagles make their first entrance into confer ence play, hosting Southeast Halifax in a game to be played on the John Graham Middle School Athletic field. Vegetables Need Proper Storage Most people would say that fresh products are always higher in vitamin content than canned or frozen products but this isn't always the case. If fresh vegetables are not kept under the proper storage conditions they can lose some of their vitamins. Vitamin C is one vitamin easily lost. For example, spinach stored at room tern-' perature for two days loses SO per cent of its original vitamin C. However, you can reduce the loss from 40 to 80 per cent by lowering the tem perature to 48 degrees F. Humidity is also an impor tant factor. Since vitamin C is water soluble, it will be lost as moisture is lost from the vegetable. When the humidity is low the vegetalbe will dry out faster, losing its vitamin C as it does. Fruits and meats do not lose vitamins as easily during storage as do vegetables. Vegetables not grown at home need to be used quickly to get the most nutrients. If you're buying produce for home preservation, make sure it's top quality. It should be worth your efforts in preserving it. If you're getting foods from your garden, keep an eye on them. Pick them before they get too mature and aim for harvesting them at their peak quality. Harvest or buy only as much food as you can freeze or can in a couple of hours. This means you can get it done quickly while the quality is high and food has top flavor. ^American Viewpoints first taachdawa agaiaat the He game w* edgbmOy edtodhled fer rridey alght, bet rtiw epawned by -w - (StaffPhoto) Equal rights for all, special privileges for none.
