campaign with the Green Wave.

GRATEFUL I
Professor J:irk I'utler of the
Green Wave Rand and Coach
Stuart Maynard of the Green
Wave Football Team, on be
half oi themselves and their
organizations last Friday ex
pressed sincere appreciation
for the use of local citizen's
cars during the campaign just
closed and for the cooperation
and support afforded them by
the people of the community
and section.
The band made a big hit at
every game where it was able
to appear and Coach Maynard
declared that the over-all re
sult of the team's work this
year was satisfactory.
op good blocking this season pre
vented Russell Rogers from get
ting into top ranking but he made
an excellent showing against the
Ahoskie Indians with his speed.
Billy Spruill, getting a chance at
varsity work for the first time,
ran hard and showed a lot of
hustle. Shifted to the backfield
as the available players there
dwindled to a dangerous low.
Warren Goff proved a willing and
hard worker. Joe Robertson, one
of the team’s most promising
backfield men in spring practice,
was never able to get started in
top shape in the fall campaign as
injuries kept him in sub-par con
jdition most of the time and he did
i not even dress for the last game
of the season.
j Not too much had been expect
. ed by most local observers of the
backfield this year, so the record
j of five wins is regarded as quite
, satisfactory. The line was expect
ed to be strong this year and it
I was, although the necessity of put
ting lim men into the backfield
weakened the forward wall some
I what. In the line C'at vei came up
■ fast to play outstanding ball in the
! last three games of his career as.
I an end. Bill Bob Peel and Asa
1 Manning, not in top shape for
some of the games, played their
best and did outstanding jobs at
protecting the flanks. Like Carv
er, Manning has closed his high
school football career.
Bobby Carter played his usual
steady game at tackle with able
assistance from Harrell Everett,
1 Hvman Edwards and Johnny
i Woo lard who promise to make the
I line good another year. Carter is
, a senior. Although he did not
quite reach the peak for which the
spring practice hail tabbed him,
Pritchard Lindsley worked steadi
ly and well at guard while Nor
Wood Keel came in to fill Warren
Goff’s spot capably and will be a!
top man another year.
Lacking in experience but
learning a lot during the season,
the two Jacks at center did bang
up jobs Jack Welch saw' a lot of'
action in late games as Ross filled
in further along the line but Ross
proved a capable kicker and witli'
these two back the middle seems
safe for another year.
Definitely listed as having play
ed their last game here are Bobby
Carter, Warren Goff, A.^a Man
ning, Charles Carver, Rush Bon
durant und D. C. MeLawhorn.
There is not too much to be said
about the game at Plymouth that
knocked the Green Wave out of
further Class B competition for
the season. The simple truth is
that the boys had played their
hearts out at Ahoskie anil they j
just could not come back with the 1
steam ttiat was needed to take a
team as j^ood as Plymouth. How
ever, they fought ha; d and play
ed a fine defensive game. Except
t’.; the sciin a
how, the two teams probably
would be battling yet
The breaks that meant tiie ball
game in thjj middle of the third
quarter after an exchange of I
punts. Receiving the kick on his |
40, Charles Carver started upfield
but was grabbed by several Plyrn-1
outh players and carried back to
the 30 before the officials called a
halt to the proceedings. The ball i
was put in play on the 30 and a 1
pass by Bondurar.t fell incom
plete. However, Williamston W'as
penalized If) yards for holding. On
the next play Hugh West inter
cepted a pass and picked up block
ers to carry to the goal line be
fore Myers and his fellow linemen
could stop the play. The touch
down was ruled complete and the
scoring for the night was over. A
line plunge for the extra point
failed.
Not expected to have a very
good pass defense, the Panthers
proved to be good at breaking up
pass plays. They intercepted
three aerials, threw the passer for
a loss one time and batted down
five. W'illiamston completed three
^passes for a total of 20 yards and
NAVY'S 'NEPTUNE' TRIES OUT ITS NEW SKIIS

j WITH SIXTEEN FOOT ALUMINUM SKIIS EXTENDED for a landing, the Navy's specially-equipped Neptune trie
out its new landing gear at Burbank, Calif. Designed for long-range search and rescue operations over desolate
Arctic wastelands ttie Neptune can operate from conventional runways, snowfields or from the deck of an
aircraft carrier. The plane is the largest combat-type craft ever equipped with skiis. (International)
Plymouth made 9 first downs to |
five for Williamston,
Pierce was the main cog in the
Plymouth defense and did a lot
of work on offense while in the
offensive department, West, Barn
hill and Teuton were the big guns
for the Panthers.
It can now be revealed that al-i
most half the men who took the
field against Plymouth were suf
fering from injuries, the total
number of men available was but
17, including all, reserves. Con
sidering this situation it may be
that it was a good turn of fate
to halt the quest of Class B hon
ors before additional injuries pil- ]
ed up and the team finally faced
a hopeless situation where it could
be that a less able unit might run
up a one-sided score.
