Team Suffered Loss to
Plymouth Last Friday
By 18-0 Score
Coach Joe Levinson has been putt
ing the Perquimans Indians football
team through a series of heavy drills
this week in preparation for .the Al
bemarle Conference game with Wil
liamston this week. The game will
be played on the Williamston field be
ginning at 2:30 o'clock Friday after
noon. Coach Levinson is expected to start
the same line up against the William;
ston team as started in tne Anoskie
game, two weeks ago. Jack Symons
and L. C. Elliott, both of whom saw'
little action in the gaifte at Plymouth
last Friday night, are reported as re
covered from minor injuries and will
play today.
The Indians dropped a hard-fought
game to Plymouth 18-0, but ithe team
was handicapped in playing on a
poorly lighted field and without the
services of Symons and Elliott most
of the game. Plymouth scored all
three of its touchdowns in -the second
half of the game. Basnight scored
twice in the third period and Ange
dashed 35 yards in the final period
for the third tally. Basnight's second
score came after he had intercepted
an Indian pass and raced 60 yards to
the goal line.
, . Both teams appeared about evenly
matched throughout the game but
Plymouth took advantage of the
breaks which came its way and
coasted to victory during th. final
yeriod. ine Indians offense was
handicapped due to the poor lighting
system and the defense was also fool
ed several times because the Pty-
isiouth players wore white helmets
and the game was played with a tofid
