Accompanied by Ihc band and
hundreds of hometown fans, the
WiHiamston High School Green
Wave football team will go after
the Class A Championship of East
Carolina Friday night, November
24, in Goldsboro when they clash
with the team of Massey High of
Cumberland County. WiHiamston
won the northeastern district title
on Tuesday night by defeating the
Weldon Tornadoes on the Ahoskie I
field, 13-6, while Massey Hill won j
the southeastern title by defeating ;
Fairmont High, 7-(i, some time
I
Sirht both trams use green and
white uniforms it will be neces
sary for one or the other to use
a different jersey. Each is trying j
to borrow white jerseys and one ;
or the other will have to use them.
Coach Stuju t Maynard of Wil
liamston said yesterday that he
still had no information on his ap
ponent’s team but was still trying
to get at least a partial line on
them He' does know that they
^usually run from the standard T.
The band and football team ire
to leave by chartered bus at 4:00
o'clock Friday afternoon, the two
groups requiring two busses. A
motorcade of local fans is also ex
pected to go along with the busses
or pillow them at varying inter
val^. Game time is 8:00 o’clock on
the Goldsboro High School foot- I
^>all field just back of the high I
school building.
While Massey Hill has won all j
9 of its games this season, Wil- i
liaaj.ston has now compiled an I
rig|)t game string of victories after ;
losing three opening contests to 1
teams which must be regarded as
having been as strqng as any of ;
Massey Hill’s competition.
The Green Wave is hoping to
make a better showing of team
• |day, against Massey Hill than they
did .against Weldon, win or lose
Waloon, at one point, knocked the
locals off balance and made their
play look rather ragged despite
Ihe fact that they won the game.
Ini-practice Thursday afternoon
the young men appeared to be
taking their work seriously and if
any disgruntled members were on
hand they were not showing their
feelings. Coach Maynard has told
them he expects every man to do
his duty regardless of what kind
of jpb he is assigned to do because ;
no team can be successful unless j
every man does his best to carry !
nut his assignments.
K'linw lo^ffifersfuK^vrjiy^hie*has
to kit p carrying the ball on plays
that consistently lose or fail to
gain any appreciable yardage
while another carries on the play
that makes the touchdown, but it
is the cumulative effect of the of
fensive as a whole that makes the
victory possible. Every time Lin
delle Ward hits center, and he hit
it hard Tuesday night, it forces the
defense to tighten .there. Every
time Russell Rogers swings
around right he forces the defense
strength to that side, and when
Jack Edwards runs the reverse he
^ adds the third thing for them to
really worry about. Wallace War
ren gives them two more prob
lems when he fades to pass or hits
off tackle. If there is blocking
and good timing and the runners '
go for all they can, the defense
has u busy time of it, hut when
the team thinks any of these plays
are useless they simply take one
more worry off the opponent’s
mind In Ward, Edwards, War
t ren, Rogers, Spruill, Davis and
McKcel Williamston has one of
the best balanced backfields it has
had in many years. It’s line this
year lacks depth but it has shown
that when the occasion demanded
it •can play great ball. It will have
to do that Friday night
Jimmy Myers, co-captain and
play-caller for the team, is the big
boy cm whom the team relies. On
the other tackle spot is Joe Rob- i

while at guafd, Norwood Keel is '
about as tough as they come
pound for pound. It is not to say ;
that these boys do all the work for
they do not. But, generally, their
attitude has much to do with the i
work of the rest of the fellows on j
the forward wall. Harrell Everett I
and Bobby Goff are dependable i
guards while at the ends Gloyden
Stewart and Reginald Coltrain are I
starters but get good help in relief j
from Buddy Fussell.

Tobacco Yield At
New High Record
The outcome of the 1950 flue
rured tobacco crop in North Caro
lina is now indicated to be con
siderablv better than anticipated
earlier in the season Total pro
duction of flue-cured leaf is es
timated at 852.540,000 pounds as
of November 1 This is an upward
change in total poundage of 5.8
percent or an increase of 48 1
million pounds from the October
1 estimate. Current indications
are based on reports from a reg
ular monthly survey, a special
survey on tobacco production by
tobacco growers and rather con
clusive marketing data by types.
Type 11 (Old Belt) production
is now estimated at 821.1 million
pounds - 8 1 percent greater chan
poundage indicated a month ago
and 25.0 percent above the 250.8
million pounds produced in 1849,
A record high yield of 1,800
pounds is estimated for this type
compared with 1,070 pounds last
year and tin average of 994
pounds
Total production of type 12
(Eastern Belt) is expected to j
reach 429.ti million pounds this!
season which would he an in
crease of 0. 1 percent over the
October estimate Production as
currently estimated is 51.9 mil
lion pounds or 15.(i percent above
production in 1949. Estimated
yield this season is at an all time
record high of 1,400 pounds. The
compares with 1 945 pounds in
1949 and the average f 1,110
