Victory To Siay ln
Conference Fight
Visitors Lost To Ayilcn By

What is always the battle of the
season regardless of what the re
cords of the two teams may be is
scheduled for tomorrow night at
the Williamston High School ath
letic park when the Ahoskie In
dians of Coach Jack Young come
here to battle the Green Wave of
Coach Stuart Maynard. If it fol
lows its usual pattern the contest
will open with a bang at 8:00 and
spectators will see some football
for the next two hours or so with j
neither team giving or asking j
quarter.
It must be said for the players
of both teams that they have not
shown any sign of dirty playing
in their long and tough series hut
both teams play for keeps, just
the same. There has never been
more than a twfo-touchdown mar-1
gin in the series and past records!
of the teams have meant little as :
a yardstick for gauging the rela
tive rating of the two teams.
Ahoskie does not have its dou- ;
hie barrell offensive pair of Jim-1
my Williamson and Tommy Um-|
phlett this year, but it does have
Terry and Vaughn, the first men
tioned being one of the biggest
ground gainers in last season’s
tilt. Williamston does not have
an experienced backfield but it is i
, not w ithout boys who can carry j
the ball. Russell Rogers scored;
the first touchdow'n chalked up
against Ahoskie last year and is
back again, Jack Edwards, crip
pled during the last two games of
tlie season last year, is able to go
this year, and Wallace Wacr.cn and
Lindelle Ward are two hard-work
ing back who are now with the
| SPECIAL GUESTS |
v--/
Director Robert Brotvn and
members of his Ahoskie High
School Band will be special
guests of the Williamstun
Green Wave Football Band
and the Williamston Band
Parents Club at a picnic sup
per in the high school cafe
teria tomorrow’ afternoon at
G:00 o’clock or immediately
following the rehearsals of
the two bands for their joint
half-time show at the Ahos
kie-Williamston football con
test.
Drector Jack Butler and the
Williamston band parents de
cided on the picnic supper to
return the courtesy of the
Ahoskie youngsters who serv
ed hot chocolate to the Wil
liamston band last year. Each
hand parent is being contact
ed and advised what to supply
for the supper. Mrs. W. O.
Griffin is chairman.
Green Wave. This morning it ap
peared doubtful that Billy Spruill,
the old reliable, would be able to
play tomorrow night, but he is a
hard man to count out, David
Davis at quarterback has shown
rapid improvement as he runs his
first season on the varsity.
In the line Ahoskie has some
stalwarts back again and has add
ed some strong replacements. In
the front wall for Williamston
will be some boys who saw action
against Ahoskie last fall. There
are the two steadies, Jimmy My
ers and Norwood Keel on the right
while Jack Ross at center and Joe
Robertson at left tackle are set to
go again. Reginald Coltrain has
been doing well this year at left
end despite the fact it is his first
year in the game. Warren Goff
graduated last year, but his broth
er Bobby is in there at left guard
while Gloyden Stewart, a reserve
last year, and Buddy Fussell, new
this year, are operating at light
end. Almost certain to see some
action in the line are Jack Welch
at center, Jerry Savage and Ray
mond Robertson at end, Harrell
Everett at tackle and Wilbur Ed
wards and Jack Daniels at guard.
Watson McKeel is another back
likely to get into the fray.
The tentative lineup yesterday
afternoon was listed for Wil
liamston as Coltrain at left end,
Joe Robertson at left tackle, Goff
at left guard, Ross at center. Keel
at light guard, Myers at right
tackle, Fussell or Stewart at l ight
end, Davis at quarterback. Rogers
or Warren at left half. Edwards or
Spruill at right half and Ward at
fullback.
The Ahoskie lineup was not
available this morning but there
are a number of familiar faces and
names therein.
In comparing records it will be
found that Ahoskie defeated Tar
boro 14-7, Spring Hope 19-ti, Scot
land Neck 26-6, Hertford 16-0,
Columbia 19-6, and lost to Plym
outh 26-7, and to Ayden 14-2. In
early season games Williamston
lost to Ayden, 19-7, Washington,
; 12-0. and Edenton, 14-7, but has
followed with a 25-6 victory ovoi
Columbia. 25-6, Vaneeboro, 41-0
Farmville 45-0, and Scotland Neck
46-0, while edging Hertford 7-6
In the course ot the season the
Indians are found to have scored
10,'1 points while giving up 65. In
play this year Williamston has
scored 178 and yielded 57
Afioskie has a smooth-working
| and fast team and it is not easily
| handled. The Indians will be af
ter their lourth victory in the
conference which would make it
possible for them to clinch a spot
no lower than second place while
the Green Wave hopes to keep its
conference slate clean and meet
Plymouth next week for the title,
| Should Williamston lose tomorrow
night and then defeat Plymouth, a
three way tie would develop be
tween the three teams as all three
have deleated all other members
of the conference.
Officials tomorrow night will be
McKay as referee, Munford
head linesman and Andrews as
umpire.
Certain Shortage
In Cotton Seed
J. A. Shankin, cotton specialist
lor the State College Extension
Service, warns cotton growers in
[North Carolina to make prove
sions for saving their own seed
j from the 1950 crop or face a crit
[ical shortage of seed next spring.
The seed shortage extends
j throughout the Cotton Belt, ac
j cording to Shanklin, and will pre
| areas which formerly sup
I plied surplus seed from doing so
I next sping.
j The State College specialist fur
j thor estimates that about one
fourth of all the seed produced
in the State this year will be need
ed to plan I next year’s crop
Not much more than 5 percent
of the seed produced is ordinarily
needed for the next year’s crop
in North Carolina. However, the
State is producing only 560,000
acres of cotton this year, as com
pared with a goal of about 000,
000 acres set for 1951. Further, be
cause of boll weevil damage and
j other factors, this year’s crop is
! bales.
[expected to yield only 190,000
"The North Carolina cotton
seed supply,” Shankin asserted,
“is only about fine-third as large
as it normally is. Yet our farmers
have been asked by the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture to in
crease their cotton acreage in 1951
by 60 per cent. We can’t go to
other areas for seed, as we did
two years ago when 2,500 tons
of seed was obtained frpm the
Missisippi Delta region. The only
solution is for growers to save
their own seed this fall.”

cows are being tired from these

Tlu st* bulls, being the top bulls in
the nation from proven daughters
in milk production and hutterfat,
practically always increase milk
and buttertat production in their

artificial breeoding program is the
best known way to improve a

couldn't vvi II afford to buy one of

Artificial breeding is a growing
