the championship of the Albe
marle Conference and the Green
Wave could use a victory to bols
ter a poor conference record. The
Indians, on paper and by the book,
are favored by at least three
touchdowns although spirit and
; determination could make the
i Green Wave tough and a victory
j for them, as many so-called ex
perts have come to understand, is
not an impossibility. Had the
Green Wave not lost so many by
injuries they could be counted as
close to Ahoskie and last week’s
game with Scotland Neck indi
cated that there is power left in
the Williamston squad.
Most of the teams who have
faced Ahoskie, report they were
able to run through the Indian
line. The Ahoskie boys will be up
for this one and their play may be
more dogged. The Williamston
line has almost a season of ex
perience behind it now and should
be improving. Two youngsters of
proven ability who have come up
fast are Larry Chesson and Gerald
Griffin. George Harris now has a
toll game of ball carrying experi
ence behind him and is a hard
runner. Dickie Clayton, Harris,
Ralph Parker, Foggy Gurkin and
Don Christopher appear ready to
carry the burden of the attack and
Jacob Zemon and James Perry ace
likely to continue operating at the
Quarterback slot where Zemon has
been known to make some nice
runs on fakes and he and Perry
have both shown passing ability.

Jamesville Terror
Eleven Wins Over
South Edgecombe

Travel To Vaneeboro For
Game This Friday Oil
Vanreboro Field
By Clayton Overton
The Red Terrors of Jamesville
finally had their chance to prove
what they have last Monday eve
ing and defeated the South Edge
combe eleven at Jamesville, 19-0.
The Terrors should have racked
up at least 40 points. Penalties
proved costly, they amounting to
about 85 yards.
The Terrors received the kick
off and had high hopes of starting
a downfield campaign but the
small* South Edgecombe players
were hitting hard and held the
Terrors ground attack in check.
Taking to the air, Ronnie Modlin
scored first for the Terrors with a
ten-yard pass, but the extra point
was not made good.
In the second quarter the visit
ors were unable to stop the Ter
ror air-ground attack as they had
earlier and the Terrors marched
on every play. Penalties continu
ed to upset the attack and equalize
the strength of the teams. Late in
the second quarter, “'Red” Hardi
son, on a quarterback sneak, ran
five yards for the second score of
the game. William Hardison
made the extra point good to put
the Terrors out front 13 to 0.
In the third quarter Garland
Hardison ran six yards for an
other touchdown. As the game
wore on, the Terrors tired and
began to look sloppy while the
Edgecombe players, beaten, con
tinued to fight on even though
they were unable to score.
Defensive leaders for Jamesville
were Ronnie Modlin, Red Hardi
son, and Williarh Hardison. *
This was Jamesville’s seventh
game of the season with two wins,
one tie, and four losses. This
game ended the South Edgecombe
season with six losses.
Jamesville plays Vanceboro this
coming Friday at Vanceboro. The
Vanceboro team defeated Rober
sonville this season and will be a
12-point favorite over the Terrors.
team in top shape for the trip tu,
Ahoskie. No starting lineup will
be available until game time but
it apears certain that Griffin and
Tnmy Harris will start at the end
positions, Jimmie Carraway and
Jack Rawls at tackles, Ward Per
ry und Larry Chesson at guard,
David Davis at center, Zemon or
Perry at quarterback, Christopher
and Clayton fat halfback with G.
Harris at fullback. Ralph Parker
and Foggy Gurkin are good bets
to get into the action early.
In Dickie Newsome, Ahoskie
has one of the best quarterbacks
in many years. He not only is a
slick ball handler but a powerful
runner who can also pass. He is
the sparkplug of the Indian attack
and defense. Other backfield run
ners of experience with Ahoskie
include A1 Pierce, Bill Dunn and
Tommy Mitchell. Pierce and
Newsome are the heaviest runners
in the Ahoskie attack. Most of
the pass plays are to ends Odom
or Leary although 'some are to
backfield men.
Williamston has won over Ahos
kie only once in recent years al
though all games have been close
except for last year’s contest when
the Indians ran roughshod over a
Green Wave team that had gone
to pieces both from injuries and
mental attitude.

One Never Too
Old To Learn
Dr. Edward J. Stieglitz says
j there is nothing to the old saying |
| that, "You can’t teach an old dog
i new tricks." In a recent medical
meeting in Washington. Dr. Stie
glitz flatly challenged this as
sumption, and offered a complete
ly different viewpoint.
Dr. Stieglitz •fcelives an indi
vidual's ability to learn is as good
at the ripe old age of eighty as it
is at the young age of twelve. Of
course, learning varies with the
individual, but, on the average,
older men and women are able to
learn new things as accurately,
and dften as rapidly, as youngs
ters.
When older persons take longer
to remember things, as they some
times do, Dr. Stieglitz says they
probably learn them and retain
them more accurately than the
young whizz-bang. Th*> doctor
says that many older people con
clude that their learning ability
has suffered when they fail to
remember new faces and tele
phone numbers, as Ihey once did
However, the probable cause is
that the older people are not as
impressed, or not as interested,
as they once were in learning new
faces and new numbers. Often
th£re is nothing wrong at all in
such cases, and the worry is -use
less.
This is encouraging news to
most of the country’s population,
wh|jfh is at an age level referred
to by many as the time in life
when learning becomes more dif
ficult. Some are inclined to be
lic^e that the problem with old
dogs is not one of an incapacity
to learn new tricks, but perhaps
a tendency to learn new tricks.

Garden Time In
Eastern Carolina
Besides the usual spring flower

spring flowers that are best plant
ed in late fall- particularly in
Eastern North Carolina.

pansies, sweet peas, annual phlox,
annual latkstipr and conflower
or ragged robin 1 have always had
very good luck with fall-planted
pansises. Usually they bloom ear
lier and make much stronger
plants. Good plants may be ob- ,

eries or seed stores. Success will

or normal winter without much j
damage especially if they are I
given some protection. However,
a very severe winter or a mild
winter with heavy freezes in

•Fancy leaved caladiums are
| very tendersand must be taken in
before freezing weather. If they
are growing in a bed the bulbs
should be taken up and stored in
dry peat until time to plant them
in spring.
Hybrid amaryllis should also be
d
placed where ihey will not free?*?

fore bloom is desired the bulbs
can be repotted and watered and
started in growth again. It is best
to plant, shallow—at least one
third of the bulb showing above
the soil level in the pot.
Poinsettias growing in pots out
of doors should be brought in at
once. They are very sensitive to
cool temperatures. They should
not be placed in the living room
where lights are kept on late
in the evening but should be plac
ed in some room where they will
get 12 hours or less of light per
day and where the temperature is
constant about 70 to 72 degrees.
The poinsettia is a short day plant
and will not bloom if exposed to
longer periods of light then twelve
hours per day.
