VOLUME 38. NUMBER 38. ZEBULON. N. C.. SEPTEMBER Z6. 1063
First Win
Wakelon Victorious Over
Nashville Blue Flames, 6-0
In a “hardnose” defensive battle j
the Wakelon Bulldogs were vic
torious over the Blue Flames of
Nashville, 6-0. The Bulldog de
fense stopped Nashville cold,
turning back everything the Blue
Flames could muster. Nashville
was held to only 68 yards rushing
and 10 yards passing for the game.
On eight occasions the Bulldogs
were in Nashville’s backfield
throwing the Blue Flame runners
for losses, and three times stop
ping Nashville for no gain.
First Half
The Bulldogs were in Nashville
territory for most of the first half
and kept the Blue Flame attack in
check. Only once did Nashville
cross midfield in the first half of
play.
Highlighting the first half was
a run by Randy Creech, 48 yards
to the Nashville 1, but this was
called back on a penalty. Late in
the half, Thompson, on a keeper
play, went for 37 yards and what
looked like a Blue Flame score,
but this too, was killed by a
penalty. The half ended when
Johnny Clark ran 25 yards to the
Nashville 25. with the score 0-0.
Second Half
Jerry Brayboy took the second
half kickoff 16 yards to the Wake
Ion 44. From this point the Bull
dogs drove for the game’s only
score. The drive featured a 28
yard run by Thurston Debnam.
Randy Creech, on a hand-off from
Johnny Clark, broke through the
middle from 5 yards out and the
T.D. The only Blue Flame threat
came when Nashville recovered a
Brayboy fumble on the Wakelon
22. Two plays latter Brayboy
scooped up a Nashville fumble to
kill the threat.
The kicking of Thurston kept
Nashville in the hole most of the
second half, with kicks of 35, and
40 and 35 yards. More important,
his kicks were high, stopping the
runback. The smaller Bulldog
line broke through, time and
again to stop the Nash attack. The
whole line did an outstanding job
and it would be hard to pick out
individual players. Secondary de
fense was vicious, stopping the
long gainer and allowing only one
pass completion.
The new look was Jerry Bul
lock alternating with Johnny Clark
at Quarterback and Kenneth Tem
ple moving up to a starting line
backer post. Next week will tell
if the right combination has been
found when the Bulldogs take on
a fast and aggressive Oxford
Orphanage team. The Ox
ford team will be the only
team that is smaller than the
Bulldogs, but they are proof that
size is not everything. TheiT last
victory was over Benvenue by the
score of 8-0. If Wakelon can get
by this game they might just go
all the way, including Wendell and
Enloe.

Girl Scout Drive
On This Week
A drive to recruit funds for the
Girl Scouts got underway Mon
day, according to Mrs. Ruric Gill,
Jr., chairman of the drive in Zeb
ulon.
Approximately half of the
money donated to the cause by
the citizens here will be used for
local Scout activities. The rest
will be used for the operation
of the Council.
The Neuseoca District, of which
Zebulon was a part of, has now
merged with several other dis
tricts and has been named Pines of
Carolina Girl Scout Council, Mrs.
Gill said.
There are a total of 19 counties
represented in the Council. Wake
County is the largest county rep
resented, and has more girls in
Scouting than any other of the
counties in Pines of Carolina Coun
cil.
There is only one troop in Zebu
Ion, and that is the Brownies. This
group of approximately 30 chil
dren is supervised by Mrs. Pres
ton Smith.
Mrs. Gill pointed out the need
for a Girl Scout Troop here. She
added that no troop is organized
because of the lack of leadership.
She said if any woman or women
are desirous of helping her start
a troop to please call her.
| Solicitors for the drive are Mrs.
Philip Olive and Mrs. James Al
ford, residential; and Mrs. Frank
Wall, business district.
No goal has been set for the

Local Guard Unit To Have
Inspection Rating in October
Major Jack Potter, Operations
and Training Officer for the 5th
Missile Battalion of the North
Carolina Army National Guard,
gave his home-town Guard unit
a close inspection last Monday
night to help it prepare for the
Annual General Inspection sched
uled for Battery A next month.
Assisting Maj Potter was a
5-man team from 5th Battalion
headquarters in Louisburg. They
checked records, observed train
ing, and made a careful inspection
of equipment to determine its serv
iceability and state of mainte
nance.
Since its return from summer
camp at Ft. Benning, Ga., in
June, the local artillery uhit has
been preparing for the big in
spection. Capt. Jack Tippett,
Commander, reported that the
Guardsmen are fast becoming ca
pable missilemen. In addition to
conducting classes in handling and
firing the “Honest John” rocket,
Battery A has been getting its
equipment and records in top
notch shape.
The Annual General Inspection
is a highlight of the year’s train
ing for Guardsmen. During the
inspection, representatives from
Third U. S. Army spend a day
with the unit, scrutinizing admin
istrative records, checking equip
ment, and observing training.
The inspector questions the
Guardsmen individually to de
termine the effectiveness of train
ing. He judges morale of the unit
by its average drill attendance and
the appearance of the men.
The grade awarded by the in
spector plays a major part in de
termining the annual performance
rating given the Guard battery.
