4 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. Dr. E. E. Smith, s native of Ohio worked in * Praam* hospital for more than 10 yean before coming to Pannville last spring, had charge of North Carolina’s famed 30th di vision of the National Guard can ex poet m tap on tte shoulder from Uncle Sam by October 1, according to a re port here. ■ Moat of the Guardsmen hereabouts had breathed a little easier whent*ttj heard a Tennessee, combat team of the 30th had been called op. They figured that meant the wholedivision as a whole 'would be well down the list. Your Capital Reporter hears via the grapevine, however, that the 30th is high on the list and can expect a call to active duty before the football season gets out of its diapers.

The story goes that Kerf Scott hit the celling when he learned this from federal officials. He was shown aerial maps and other surveys that showed the State's power output potential. Ironical^, it was less than a year ago that Scott made a speech in Lumberton at the dedication of tile Carolina Power and Light Company’s steam generating plant.
