Football Practice Here
Slowed Up by Weather
Rain blocked football practice
for the Plymouth High School
squad here Monday and Tuesday
nights, adding further to the dif
ficulties faced by local coaches in
getting set for the opening game
with Weeksville here September
7, now only two weeks away.
Thirty-eight boys reported Wed
nesday of last week for practice,
but since that time several others
have been added to the list while
a few have already dropped out. I
Head Coach Joe Foster said 20 ofi
the group had never been out for
football before, and it is possible
that the starting team two weeks
from tomorrow night will have sev
eral boys on it who have never
been in action before.
Local coaches are somewhat dis
appointed over the fact that several
boys considered likely prospects
have not reported for football thus
far. Coach Foster is being assisted
by Andy Wood and Charles Ina
binett of the school teaching staff,
and also by two former Plymouth
players, W'ayne ‘Red” Browning
and Ken Trowbridge.
First actual practice sessions
were held Thursday and Friday
nights of last week and were de
voted principally to conditioning
and explanation of the fundamen
tals. Mr. Foster plans to tentative
ly organize a couple of teams some
time the latter of this week to be
gin actual scrimmaging, but a lot
now depends on the weather. He
said yesterday it might be Monday
or Tuesday of next week before the
squads start going “full blast.”
Facing a complete rebuilding
job, including the development of
a new ends and a center, about the
only thing certain right at this
time is that the team this year will
laregly be built around the six let
termen returning. They are Billy
Harden, Bobby Nooney and Eu
gene Brown, backs; Eric Harrell
and Bobby Barber, guards; and
Mack Graham, tackle. The coach
said yesterday that he had not
seen enough of the remainder of
the boys to even make a guess as
to what positions they could fill.
Of the 40 boys reporting thus
far, 16 are freshmen with no prev
ious football experience; 8 are
PIGSKIN
CHATTER
By GILBERT VAUGHAN
The football season will soon
be here again. Plymouth started
practice last week with 30 boys
reporting for first-night exercises
but more have turned out since
it begun. All other teams in the
section have started practice with
some not hurting for talent and
some having to start from scratch.
The Panthers this year, as usual,
are lacking returning lettermen.
Coaches Foster, Wood and Inabi
nett face a real task of rebuilding
after losing several key men from
last year’s squad. Only six letter
men reported for practice last
week.
Here are how the teams that the
Panthers will meet this year are
faring:
The Weeksville team, which the
Panthers will meet in their opening
game on September 7, lost heavily [
from graduation. Reports state that
a rebuilding job has to be done.
Weeksville lost only one game in!
their conference last year and that
was to the Central Green Wave, j
conference champions. Plymouth!
won over Weeksville last year by
a score of 20 to 6. This year’s game
will be only the second meeting of
the two teams.
Plymouth coaches are not alone
in the task of rebuilding. Coaches
Billings and Brooks of Edenton
are faced with the same thing.
The Aces lost 15 from last year’s
team, of which 8 were starters.
They lost one of the best backs
in the state when Stuart Holland t
graduated, and such players as
Wayne Keeter, a back, and Wayne
Emminizer, an end, made places
that will be bard to fill. Edenton
was conference champ last year
and from early reports, the Aces
will have to beat Ahoskie before
they can get this honor this year.
The Ahoskie Indians will again
be strong this year with a lot of
their veterans back and plenty of
reserve strength. It is reported
that they will field one of the
largest teams that they have ever
when they take the field Septem
oer. 7. Ahoskie received one set
back, however, when all-conference
Jimmy Early received a broken
back in a jeep wreck during the
past winter. The injury left him
paralized from the waist down and
any use of his legs in the future
is doubtful. On the brighter side
for the Indians, they had 45 boys
reporting for practice last Wed
nesday night, and out of this num
ber, 17 were lettermen from last
years team. The line, however, will
have to be built around Robert
Williams, who is the only starting
lineman returning. It is reported
that the line, as seen now, will
be fast and average around 180
pound Coach Young states he has
8 to 10 boys that look good for
back-field positions.
Practice at Hertford got under
way on Wednesday, August 15,
with around 40 boys reporting
for the opening drills. No other
information was given on the pros
pects of this year's squad.
sophomores, including one who has
not been out before; 7 are juniors,
three of whom are out for the first
time; and 9 are seniors, including
five of the returning lettermen.

night, to familiarize the newcom
ers with some of the plays to b<
used this season. It is again plan

Control Efforts
On Tuberculosis
To Be Discussed
Raleigh. — If you are forty or
olders, you haxe arrived at the age
group in which more and more
tuberculosis is being found.
Once considered a disease of
young adults, TB is now being dis
covered more frequently in the old
er age groups. How this shift af
fects TB control efforts is one of
the changes and trends in the TB
picture that will be aired at an In
stitute on problems in TB control
to be held at the Southern Pedia
trie Seminar Grounds, Saluda, N.
C. this month.
Eight North Carolina agencies
have combined forces to bring out
standing authorities in the field of
TB to the institute. Among them
are Dr. Paul A. Pamplona, Chief
State Aid Branch, Division of
Chronic Diseases and Tuberculosis,
U. S. Public Health Service, and
Dr. Sidney H. Dressier, medical di
rector of the famed, free non-sec
tarian medical center for TB and
chest diseases, the National Jew
ish Hospital at Denver, Colorado,
who are scheduled to discuss the
past.
Coach Foster is pleased with the
freshmen prospects reporting this
year, stating it was one of the best
in recent years. He expects the
team fielded here this year to be
green and inexperienced, and the
members will make a lot of mis
takes, but if the proper spirit is
developed, they should give a good
account of themselves.
A seven-man sled is being built
and will be in use by the latter
this to be a big help, as they have
n't had one for thep ast two or
three seasons, resulting in poor
timing and too many off-side pen
alties. This is largely used to get
the linemen charging together, and
it is expected to improve the
team’s timing in all departments.
The complete roster of the squad
reporting last week is as follows,
by classes:
Seniors: Bobby Barber, Mack
Graham, Eric Harrell, Billy Har
den, Bobby Respass, Tommy Alex
ander, Garland Bowen, Bobby
Nooney and Marvin Rodgers;
Juniors: Eugene Brown, Phillip
Styons, William Whitley, John
Adams, Henry Turner, Ralph Gur
ganus and Larry Watson;
Sophomores: Bobby Ange, Larry
Allen, Gene Asby, Henry Bragg,
Lowell Bowen, Gilbert Tetterton,
Owen Bishop and John Jackson.
Freshmen: Elton Ange, Wayne
Mobley, A1 Cox, Billy Tetterton,
William Morgan, George Waters,
Darrell Kelly, Grady Brownfield,
Buddy Harrison, Leroy Sitterson,
jr., Jack Nobles, Eddie Dawley,
Tommy Terry, Golden Simpson,
Harvie Hill and Frank Skiles.

"New Look" In
Defense Plans
The news has leaked out that the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, Admiral Arthur W. Radford,
is proposing a second “New Look”
in U. S. defense programming.
The Radford proposals are based
on an entirely new theory of the
role of U. S. defense forces. In
brief, the proposal would keep the
defense budget of the United
States under forty billion dollars
through 1960, and reduce the man
1 power of U. S. armed forces by
some 800,000, also by 1960.
Radford’s proposals are highly
controversial, and it is said the
three chiefs of staff are all in op
position to his new concept of de
fense proposals are not without
great merit, and deserve the seri
changes and trends in the TB pic
ture and their impact on the con
trol program.
Sponsored by the Schools of So
cial Work, Public Health and Medi
cine of the University of North
Carolina, N. C. State Boards of
Health and Public Welfare, N. C.
Division of Vocational Rehabilita
tion, N. C. Sanatoriums, and the
N. C. Tuberculosis Association, the
institute is designed to give pro
fessional and lay people working
in TB control an opportunity to
learn how to do their jobs better
and to further cooperation among
the different agencies who have a
responsibility to the TB patient,
according to C. Scott Venable, in
stitute chairman.
Other matters to be discussed
at the institute include home care
of TB patients, how soon the pa
tient should return to work after
discharge from the hospital, the
nurse’s role in meeting the pa
tient's anxiety about returning
home and to work, training oppor
tunities for TB patients, and job
placement of recovered patients. !
Approximately 80 doctors, nurs
es, social workers, rehabilitation
workers, occupational therapists,
health educators, sanatorium teach
ers and state and local TB workers
from North Carolina and the sur
rounding southern states are ex
pected to attend.

Golf Professional, Plymouth Country Club
The weather is finally getting
cooler and more favorable to golf.
Because of this we are setting a
busy golf schedule.
Ahoskie plays-Plymouth a club
match here Sunday, and we play
them a return match the follow
ing Sunday. We haven’t played
Ahoskie in a few years and were
happy to have them on our sched
ule of events. From what I hear,
Ahoskie really puts on a feast after
the match, so let’s do the same
thing here Sunday.
There has been talk of a Scotch
foursome here quite a bit lately.
Everybody seems to be interested
in having one, and so one we’ll
have and I guarantee it to he soon.
It’s now about time also for the
club championship. Dates haven't
been set, but expect it early in Sep
tember, so get your tools sharpen
ed. I won't say who has been out
here practicing lately, but if you
want to stand a chance you’d better
join him.
August 28th, I’m having a tour
nament for the Ladies’ Queen
Royal Day. Different and exciting.
Come on out and see for yourself.
Well, I’ve told you our tourna
ment schedule, and I’ve told you
it’s getting cooler and the course
is in excellent shape—so let’s play
golf!
ous consideration of every Ameri
can, and every officer and enlisted
man in the armed services.
The proposals involve a new
concept of the application of de
fense forces by this country. First,
only token Army forces would be
stationed abroad. j
Radford would reduce the
strength of the Tactical Air Com
mand in the Air Force consider
ably, but complete the build up in
the Strategic Air Command.
Admiral Radford would also re
duce the strength of the Navy and
the Marines, and it is said that the
new Navy would constitute mainly
a force to carry on competent an
ti-submarine warfare.
Defense spending is now estimat
ed at $36,000,000,000 a year, and
the Air Force increase is expected
to increase it to approximately
$38,000,000,000 next year.
