Maintaining their unbeaten re- I
col d in conference play, the i
Green Wave boys of Williamston
High * defeated the Perquimans !
High quint at Hertford Friday
night 29 to 22 while the Williams
ton girls lost a rough and tumble
affair to the Hertford lassies, 29
to 24, for their second loss of the
year in conference competition.
In both games the pattern was
the same, the winner spotting the
loser an early lead, taking over
later in the first half and holding
on the rest of the way Largely
on free throws by Alice Peaks and
Edna Coltrajn and a field goal by
Coltrain, Williamston's girls held
a (1-0 lead at the end of two min
utes of play but three field goals
by tall Murvina White and one
by Mary Saunders put Hertford
out Hi front and only a last min
ute field goal by Danriette Bailey
pulled Williamston into a tit' at
the close of the quarter at 8-all.
In the same manner, Hertford's
boys grabbed a three point lead
in the first two minutes hut Har
rell Evreett and Raymond Davi
pulled Wiiliamston out front at
the end of the quarter 7-3.
Both teams played well consid
ering that they had been out of
action because of a week of exam
inations. It was this factor of
practice and timing that held the
total score down in both games.
While the officials permitted the
girls' game to get pretty well out
of hand, the boys’ game was call
ed fairly elose and was played in 1
a more ordei 1> manner After
both teams had tested theii aim
and found it bad, they wi re more
cautious in swinging for the ba.
ket.
Although she was crowded out
of many chances at the basket
from close in because of the ex
tremely close guarding, Alice
Peaks did one of the best jobs of
her career at the free throw line
by making six out of eight gratis
shots Three free throws bv her
and one by Euna Colliain <«■
counted for Williamston’s first
four points Coltrain made two
out of three. On the other hand
Hertford coulr} make but three of
its ten chances from the foul line

half decided the issue foi all
