" 4 Indians Overpower Edenton To Win 6-0 victory Last Thurs Williamston High Will Play Here on Friday Night at 8 O'clock The Perquimans Indians broke into the win column for the first time dur ing the present, football season by handing their; old rivals, Edenton Aces, a six-nothing defeat on Mem orial Field on Thursday night of last week. It was .the 22nd meeting be tween the two teams, with Perqui mans continuing to hold' the edge in the number of games won. While the ' two teams appeared evenly matched throughout most of the game the Indians held a decided edge on both defense and offense, chalking up eight first downs to Edenton's five, offensively, and pre venting the Aces from threatening the goal line throughout . the game. The outstanding part of the game was the clean playing on the part of all players, only four penalties were called, with each team taking two. The Indians won the toss and chose to receive the kick off and immediate ly started a drive toward the Eden ton goal. Edenton held for downs I on their own 18 yard line and re turned the ball to mid-field on a series of scrimmages. The rest of the first quarter was a see-saw-battle with the ball staying mostly in Eden ton territory. Sparked by some excellent line smashing by Jack Symons, and line played by Cecil Winslow, Robert Evans and Bobby Keaton, the Indians began a determined march to the goal line which netted them a touch down in the second period. Try for extra point was bad and the score was 6-0 for Perquimans. During the second half both teams endeavored, to outmaneuver the other, but was unsuccessful in scoring. Edenton Allowed Borne nice running plays whjtfh counted for most of their? first' downs during ythe final iwicT lMfoveritent over their nrevious sramea. and with continued practice on plays and blocking it can be expected they will provide plenty of opposition for the teams remaining on the schedule. The next home game for the In dians will be played on Memorial Field Friday night at 8 o'clock when Williamston comes here to renew football relations with Perquimans after a lapse of several years. A large crowd is expected to turn out for this game tonight .. .
