Getting into their stride, the Plym

Williamston High last Friday even

the fastest games ever played on the
local field, the final score being 25

the ball-over the line for the first
touchdown, Mayo making the extra
point; Quarterback Magee made the
second touchdown, Halfback Mayo

less of an aerial game than had been
expected, with Williamston attempt

completing more, but the alert Pan

13 yards to Williamston 20-yard
line for a first down and in two
plunges Brown took it to a touch
down. Mayo made the extra point.
A few minutes later Magee recover
ed the ball after a Williamston fum
ble on the latter’s 45-yard line and
carried it around an end on a run
down the field and over the line.
In the third quarter Mayo stopped
a Williamston pass and made a 60
yard run to score again. Then just
before the final whistle Mayo again
carried the ball in two efforts from
the Plymouth 25-yard line for an
other touchdown. Conversions fail

touchdowns.
Brown, Magee and Mayo in the
backfield, Swain. Ayers and Pierce in
the line were star Panthers, while
Gurganus and Peel did fine work
for Williamston.
The game was clean and hard
fought throughout, with the officiat
ing, in charge of Referee Fred H.
Humbert, personnel director at the
North Carolina Pulp Company, far
superior to that seen in the average
high school football game.
The visitors put up a game fight
and managed to ring up two more
first downs than the Panthers, but
they were clearly outplayed by the
Panthers and the result was never
in doubt after the first period. The
entire Plymouth forward wall out
charged the Williamston line, and
the blocking of the locals was better
than it has been at any time this
season, making the play of the backs
look even better. Most of the Wil
liamston gains were made on short
passes thrown by Gurganus, but in
the latter stages of the contest the
pass defense of the Panthers began
clicking and halted every threat of
the visitors.
Williamston came closest to scor
ing in the third period, when they
worked the ball down to the Plym
outh 8-yard line, first down and goal
to go. The locals braced, spilling a
couple of running plays for losses and
then taking over about their own 15
after batting down two passes. A
few plays later, Mayo made the long
est run of the game when he inter
cepted a Williamston heave and re
turned it 60 yards to go over stand
ing up. One of the most effective
Plymouth plays was a delayed spin
ner, which gained a lot of distance
Henry's New One
Is Bright, Funny
Aldrich Film Hit
Troublesome Threesome To
Be Seen At Plymouth
Theatre Friday
-$
The trio who hit it off so well in
the last Henry Aldrich screen esca
pade, "Henry for President," are to
gether again in a new Paramount
comedy, “Henry and Dizzy, which
will be shown Friday. October 16, at
Plymouth Theatre. Jimmy Lydon as
Henry and Charles Smith as Dizzy,
and Mary Anderson as Henry's girl.
Phyllis, again live through some pret
ty hectic and hilarious adventures.
This time their troubles come about
through the accidental sinking of a
motor boat which Henry had borrow
rowed for a spin around the lake.
Henry is accused of having stolen the
boat. He must either replace it
with another one, pay up $120 or go
jail. The three friends put their
heads together and come up with
some amazing ideas.
Jimmy Lydon is the perfect Henry
Aldrich, to look at and to hear. His
voice cracks just at the right time
and his bewilderment is beautiful to
watch. Charles Smith in his com
pletely natural portrayal of Henry's
side-kick, and Mary Anderson as
Henry's girl is altogether charming.
From all indications, “Henry and
Dizzy” should be the funniest of all
the Aldrich Family films thus far
produced. Those who follow Henry
on screen and radio will agree. The
cast is excellent. In addition to the
three principals mentioned .fine per
formances are contributed by John
Litel and Olive Blankeney as Henry’s
distracted parents, as well as by
Vaughn Glaser and Maude Eburne.
right through the middle of the
Wililamston line. Magee made one
of the prettiest runs of the game on
this play, when he faked handing
the ball to a teammate, then spun
through center, headed to his right,
reversed his field, picking up a cloud
of blockers and going over standing
up. The play gained about 40 yards.

teams.

music box hep-cats in the film capi
tal under the pseudonym of “Miss

a -million of them—and it's a script
cleverly played by a young cast of
favorites, including Ken Murray.
Harriet Hilliard. Dan Douglas, Iris

Among the ten musical numbers
are three new songs by Milton Rosen
and Everett Carter. They are “Give
Out," “Swing It, Mother Goose” and
