football Squad ’ j
Begins Practice
For New Season
The local high school football aspi
rants began work on Aug. 04 in pre
paration for the 1980 season. Twenty
boys reported for the initial call.
Light equipment has been used for
the first week of practice. Heavy
equipment will be issued the latter
part of the week as the boys round
into playing condition. The first
week’s sessions have been devoted al
most entirely to conditioning drills,
consisting of calisthenics, grass drills,
foot races, wind sprints and position
and stance drills. The main part of
the football menu, consisting of the
two main fundamentals, blocking and,
tackling, will be begun in earnest the
Utter part of this fceek. The first
scrimmage will be held next week.
The prospects of a winning team
this year are of a problematic nature.
Of last year's squad, seven players
graduated, and two others, for vari
ous reasons, are not returning to
school. All of these nine pUyers were
first stringers last year, so a rebuild
ing job is forthcoming. Last year’s
graduation hit hardest at the end,
center, halfback and fullback posi
tions. If a well balanced backfield
can be molded to go with a line Hist
~ should be equally as good as last
year’s, then the team may win some
games, stated Coach Elbert Moye.
Boys from the 1949 squad who
have reported for practice are Roy
Vick, Roy Flora, Bobby Fulford, Al
bert Cannon, Wilbert Morris, Douglas
Pierce, James Fountain, Randolph,
Allen, Joe Smith, Charley Fitsgerald,
Richard Oakley and Paschall Barrett.
These boys, along with three or
four newcomers to the squad, who
have been showing up well in prac
tice, will carry the load for the 1960
season. It is probable that three or
four more boys with experience may
join the squad.when school opens on
Coach Moye adds that more boys
are urgently needed for the squad.'A
26-man squad is almost a necessity in
order to compete on favorable basis
for every position and to maintain an
adequate number of boys for practice
scrimmage sessions. All boys are ur
ged to compete for the team in or
der that FarmviUe may field a team
that will be a credit to the commun
ity. All high school boys arifth the
proper school spirit are encouffged
to come out and try for the team.
Colored Football Team
The students at the colored high
school here will have their first foot
hall team this year. Through the
combined efforts of local citisens last
year, equipment was bought for 22
players.
The first game will be played on
the school’s athletic field on Oct. 6,
against the Vann high school of
Ahoskie. Game time Will be 3 o’clock.
This will be the first game and year
for both schools.
There will be three games at home
and three away this year. The team
has been practicing for two weeks,
and hopes to make a creditable stow
ing when file first game is played.
C. E. Knight is coaching the team.
