Jack Edwards’ kick for the ex
tra point after Linriell Ward had
driven 28 yards in two plays early
in the second half gave Williams
ton’s Green Wave the margin of
victory in their 7-6 conquest of
the Hertford Indians last Friday
night in Hertford. Fighting back
late in the final quarter after a
pass interception, the Indians lost
a chance to tie the count when an
attempt to run the ball over for
the extra point fell short.
Neither team could get very far
in the first half, although Hertord
picked up five first downs and
Williamston two. Hertford pick
ed up yardage bpt could not make
it pay off. Willianiston's block
ing and timing on its plays was
badly off anti nothing seemed to
click.
Williamston scored another
touchdown in the second quarter
when Russell Rogers picked up
some blocking, shook off two
would-be tacklers and then outran
three more to make it across the
goal line standing up, but the 55
yard run was called back and a
clipping penalty left the run good
for a net of 20 yards. This penal
ty was followed by a pass inter
ception and before the Green
Wave could recover from the
tough breaks, Hertford had scor
ed.
The work of neither team was
impressive except for the show
the Green Wave made during the
first few minutes of the second
half. On the ground Williamston
made 109 yards while losing 15
