Perquimans Wins Non
Conference Game at
Franklin 13-0
" 'V
Coach Joe Levinson's Perquimans
Indians football squad closes the 1947
season this week with a conference
game at Scotland Neck on Thursday.
the local team is reported in good
shape for the contest with the Scot
land Neck boys, and the Indians arp
hopeful of adding another conference
victory t6 their belt.
The Indians marked up their sixth
victory of the season last Friday
night at the expense of the Franklin,
Virginia, outfit, the final score being
13-0 for Perquimans. Both touch
downs scored by Perquimans came
through pass interceptions. The In
dians marched down the field on num
erous occasions, chalking up a large
number of first downs, but a determ
ined Franklin defense halted the Per
quimans drive short of the goal line.
Robert Evans, Indian center, tallied
the first touchdown for Perquimans
when he intercepted a Franklin pass
ana raced about 30 yards for six
points. This score came in the third
quarter, both teams failing to score
during the first half. Later, in the
fourth and final quarter, Pitt, Indian
end, intercepted a Franklin pass and
ran 35 yards for the second and final
score made by the Indians.
The offense of the Franklin team
was no match for the" Perquimans de
fense and Franklfn failed to carry the
ball into the Indian territory but one
time during the entire game. They
moved down to the 45-yard line on
one occasion but the Indians halted
the drive and that ended the Frank
lin threat to score.
Coach Levinson is nointinsr his
players for the game this week de
spite the fact that Scotland Neck has
been among the weaker teams in the
Conference this season. A win over
Scotland Neck win give Perquimans

men of the important meetimr sched

Tuesday night at 7 o'clock.
Extension Service leaders will be
present for a round table discussion
on farm problems to be faced during
1948. The reduction of allotments of
acres for tobacco and peanuts will be
among the problems discussed. The
public is urged to attend this meeting.
The onset of winter increases fire
hazards by more than a third, County
Agent I. C. Yagel warned this week.
"Winter means heated homes and
barns and also an increase in fire
hazards a 34 per cent increase.
Cracked chimneys, corroded flues, de
fective furnaces and improperly dis
carded hot ashes are the villains.
Make sure that your heating plant is
in good working condition," advised
Mr. Yagel.
An annual farm fire loss of over
?90,000,000 is more than anv country
can afford especially during the pres
