lgst Friday night with a 32-7 victory
ever -Norlina and tamed in a per
formance that exceeded the fondest
expectations of toe coaches and their
expectations of the coaciheB and their
supporters. The boys, many of them
ir their first game, displayed a fast,
hard-hitting running attack add
turned in a heads-up defensive game
that intercepted one pass for a
touchdown and recovered a Norlina
fumble early in the contest to set up
their first tally.
•scoring one touchdown in each of
the first tnree quarters and two m
tne final period, Fammile clearly
v outplayed their opponents. It ap
peared however, that the local team s
pass defense is its weakest point.
The lone Norlina touchdown came in
the second quarter on a forward pass,
and toe visitors had another six
pointer in their grasp, as a well
thrown pass skidded through toe re
ceiver's hands.
All of the Farmville scores were
on comparatively long runs or passes.
After recovering a fumble in the
early part of toe game, Fhrmville
scored on a 40-yard end-around by
Roy Vick. The second touchdown
came on a 60-yard o£f-tackle run by
Joe Smith, Sigbee Dilda, on a pitch
out, galloped 30 yards for-toe third
tally. The fourth touchdown came on
a pass from Charlie Fitzgerald to
Marvin Tugwell who tossed a lateral
to Joe Smith, toe play covering 40
yards. For the final score, Carroll
Alien, relief quarterback in his first
varsity game, snagged a Norlina pass
and ran 20 yards. The locals scored
two extra points—Fitzgerald passed
to Marvin Tugwell for the first, and
Joe Smith scored toe other on an end
run.

This I didn’t know.
Follows a summary of, other little
known regulatory tHf-Wts which I
never knew about before.
For instance, if you are driving
any military vehicle—Army, Navy or
Marine Corps—don’t bother with a

need it.
For you other non-military drivers
your licensee expires on your birth
day four years after the year it was
issued—not on the mime issue date
four years later.
Own a motorised wheelchair? Well,
if it weighs tes* than 1*900 pounds
you are eligible for a special opera

tion plates. The P-tags will cost you
one buck, but you’ll have to prove
that yottr eonveyance is necessary to
get around in and that you are
qualified to operate it. Let some
one else drive your epec^'pehicle
and you are guilty of a misdemeanor.
