Shafting off cautiously and a bit nervously perhaps, the Green Wave missed several pass tries be fore Mipkoy Gurganus took the ball over for the first touchdown after several minutes of play. The visitors jpame back, a feyv minutes later to tie the count as Bennett returned* a Williamston punt for 70 yaips'and a touchdown. The quart# ended before either team could ^Itll.v again. In twkecond quarter the locals begantt^ilick and they held a 25 1<> 6 lead at the half. Williamston had 18 first downs to 3 for their opponents and recov ered four Farmville fumbles and two of their own. The Green Wave also drew 75 yarcjs in pen ss they played a hard-driv ing, last-charging game. Farm ville’s only penalty was a 15 yard set-back for clipping. The dusty iield made it most difficult to keep up with the plays. Scoring touchdowns for Wil liamston were Gurganus. Griffin, Rogers 2, Charles Carver, Wallace Warren and Benny Wynne. Points after touchdown were i credited to Griffin. Gurganus and Rogers. Not a single try for extra point was made bv the kicking ---- route. All attempts were on runs or passes. . Second and third stringers play ed the last half of thg game for Williamston but they kept the ball going. Dee Price and Benny Wynne were good at line bucking , and on end-around plays for the second stringers and Asa Manning played a gocyl game at end for the reliefers. For the first string there was an even distribution of skill and playing ability, Rogers, Griffin, and Gurganus getting into most of the first string plays for gains as Rush Bondurant played a steady game at the four spot in the back field. The work of both the first and second string lines was very good. Lanky Charles Carver grab bed a pass for one touchdown and Billy Bob Peel later narrowly missed another which led him a bit too much. Both were long across-the-field aerials. Although the score was one-sid ed the fans were entertained all the way by the flashy type of ball which the tricky Green Wave played. The performance of the second string team was one of the outstanding features of the game. Generally the punting of the Green Wave as indicated in its opening game should be superior to last year’s booting. After Farmville tied the count *n the first quarter, Williamston got the ball to the Farmville 5 yard line but failed to gain and lost the pigskin. However, the Farmville team punted on first down and Bobby Rogers took the ball on the Farmville 28 as the quarter ended.
