Friday night.
Coach Stuart Maynard emptied
the bench of all players during
the game, even sending in one
man who had joined the team only
a few days ago. One of the boys
who had been warming the bench
all season, little Ben Andrews, got
off two nice runs in the late stages
of the game while another bench
warmer, Jack Daniels grabbed a
fumble just before the close of the
fray.
Peppery Billy Spruill was the
high scorer of the evening and
also broke loose for the longest
run of the night. He scored three
touchdowns, in runs of 73 yards,
31 yards and 1 yard. While he did
not break into the scoring, Lin
delle Ward .came - up, with a 64
yard jaunt that carried the Green
Wave from a precarious perch on
its 1-foot line to deep in Vance
boro territory. Johnny Frank Alls
brook powered the first touch
down over from the 10-yard line
after he and Ward, along with
Russell Rogers, had moved it to
that point after receiving the
opening kickoff. ,
Besides serving as an escort to
ward off a Vanceboro tackier on ,
Spruill’s long jaunt, Rogers made j
a fine sweep of right end to go <
35 yards and score the second i
touchdown. Jack Gray got in for ;
some action, also, and added a '
touchdown on a 15-yard sweep, t

run. j
While the use of all his players <
gave the boys much-needed com- \
petitive practice, it proved costly (
in the penalty department as the ]
Green Wave drew 95 yards in pen- j
altics largely because of the eager- <
ness of the youngsters to show '
what they could do. Vanceboro \
was able to get only 67 yards rush- t
ing and 14 yards on one pass com- |
pleted out of 9 tries. Williamston i
tried but one pass and that was i
batted down by a defender. ,
Reginald Coltrain, Jack Ed- t
wards, George Harris and Leroy ;
Peel were out because of injuries, t
Harris and Peel are out for the
season but Edwards and Coltrain c
are expected to rejoin the team at f
a later date. Gloyden Stewart and j
Raymond Robertson started at
ends, Norwood Keel and Jimmy c
Myers at tackles, Joe Robertson \
and Wilbur Edwards at guards, t
Jack Ross at center with Billy t
Spruill, Russell Rogers, David c
Davis and Johnny Frank Alls- 1

the flank position while other 1

Everett. Bobby Goff, Jack Daniels <

saw a lot of action at center. In i

were made frequently, Linjielle ;
Ward and Watson McKeel Saw a I

Andrews, Buddy Fussell, Travis (

Ward and Ward Perry got in for t
some action. 1
While they were out of their 1
class, Vanceboro’s scrappy little ’
fellows never gave up, they chas- !
ed every ball carrier for all they i
were worth and put all they had i
into their offensive efforts, Fur- i
ney Powell, their quarterback be- ■
ing responsible for most of their '
yards on quarterback sneaks.
Opening the game Rogers re
turned Armand’s kick 26 yards.
Allsbrook plunged for a first
down to the Vanceboro 44, Rogers
got 8, Spruill 10 for another first
down, Allsbrook picked up an
other 10 and after Rogers got 4,
Allsbrook went over through the
center. The point try was no good
but the Green Wave defense held
and forced Vuncehoro to punt.
Gray brought it back 15 yards to
his own 38 where another offen
sive got underway. Gray and
Allsbrook got 6 each. Gray 1, and
Spruill 12 on a reverse. Powell
was injured and went off the field.
Allsbrook got two, then behind
good blocking, Rogers swept right
end for 35 and the TD. Rogers
also went over the the extra point.
