Raeford Loses to Wilmiogton.
The Wilmington high school
football team defeated Raeford
highs in a football game in Fav
etteville last Friday afternoon
39 to 7. The local boys put up a
good game, but'were outclassed
by a heavier and more experl:
enced team. None of those boys
on the Wilmington teams may
not be beyond the age limit, 21
years, but they certainly do get
to play longer on the team than
Raeford bovs do Raeford boys
rarely play beyond 18. Our boys
finish school and go to college, or
to work, which perhaps is more
to their credit than winning the
state championship in footbal
after they are free nien Raeforc
teams have always played clean
ball, and the game Friday was
a closer contest than the score
indicates, for our boys fough
from tbe first whistle till the
time keeper indicated that their
opportunities had passed, ant
starred often, although they
lost the game.
One of the Wilmington high
school football players playec
against Battery F team," four
years ago. and he could not le
gilly join a military company
until he was 18. however, this
doesn’t make him inelligible to
play high school ball,provided he
isn’t over 21 years old,but be am
many like him are winning state
championships In games against
teams that average under 16
years, and bragging about it.
