1950 Grid Season

field.- Ever Play In The
Albemarle Conference
While he lias liad teams from
which he expected more, the 1950
Green Wave football team has giv
en the Williamston High School its
most successful season since
Stuart Maynard reported for work
as head of the athletic department
here. This is not to sa\ that Mayn
ard underestimated his team this
year He told friends back in
September that if things worked
out all right he would have an
outfit that would be hard to get
along with before the season had
passed.
The team this year, especially
after Wallace Warren joined it.
had one of the best balanced back
fields ever to play in the Albc
r
! marie Conference. It had two me!
who could kick as well as run am
pass in Jack Edwards and Wallaci
Warren. It had a youngster wh<
could run and pass in Watson Me
Keel and in Russel! Rogers anc
Lindelle Ward had two fellow:
who could hit outside and insidt
with speed and drive. Both o!
these fellows carried the ball a lot
against big and small and in theii
more than 100 carries each pickec
up enough yardage for a good av
erage. David Davis, a freshman
gave the team good blocking anc
steady support while the old re
liable Billy Spruill who loves tr
play football better than any othei
thing unless it is hunting, could
carry tin- ball or catch a pass in
his job of filling out the backfield
While it was shy in veterans, the
line came along fast with Jimmy
Myers and Norwood Keel steady
ing the forward wall. Reginald
Coltrain came out for end in his
senior year and was good enough
by late October to make the all
conference squad. Joe Robertson,
working some in tin- backfield last
year, moved to the line this fall

| and found he could play a lot of
football there. He was a strong
man in that spot toward the close
of the season.
Gloyden Stewart, the only man
with much experience to report
for work at end this year, gave a
good account of himself agd was
I a steady man at that spot although
lacking some of the aggressiveness
of some of the others. He carried
much of the load on offensive
plays. Coming along well after a
good showing in the Ahoskie con
test last year, Harrell Everett did
well this year while Hobby Goff
and Wilbur Edwards provided the
hulk of the relief work in the
line and drew starting assign
ments in some of the games. Jack
Ross at center and sometimes at
tackle on defense, was a steady
man this year and one of the most
improved of the players toward
the end of the season when col
lege representatives began to take
an interest in him as well as in big
[jimmy Myers. Jack is a 209 pound
lad who towers over 6 feet.
Fellows whose playing improv
ed during the season to such an
extent that they improve the out
look for next years are such
youngsters as Buddy Fussell, Jer
ry Savage, and Raymond Robert
son at ends and Jack Daniels at
tackle. Jack Welch, a senior, did
not get into some of the tough
games at center because of his
light weight, but he along with
Daniels, Savage, Fussell, Ben An
drews, Jerry Nicholson and others
did their part in pushing the first
[stringers during practice and were
a big factor in the training pro
gram.
The team went through 13 con
tests, winning the last 10 straight
and making good showings in;the
first three against top competition.
Merely to state this fact is to say
they have had to work hard and
diligently. With them all the way
makes a wonderful <Christinas' gift for parents and
grandparents... (and one that "ill be appro*
dated in your own home. loo).
