: Greenville On Local
Field Tonight
Perquimans High School opened Its
1952 football season last Friday night
by winning an impressive victory over
the Jamesville Hiwh- School foo'tball
team by a one-sided score of 32 to 6.
Coach Ellie Fearing's Indians showed
more power and experience than the
Jamesville boys, and the outcome of
the contest was never in doubt fol
lowing the opening kick-off when the
Indians rolled up four first downs in
four plays.
The game was a preview of what
fans may expect of the Indians dur
ing the current season. There were
some flaws in the play of the Indians,
but these were to be expected when
it is remembered most of the squad
are new to the game as regular start-,
ers. The Indians' offense, will im
prove, as will their defense, and the
opponents of the Indians can expect
stiff opposition during the year.
iFans will have the opportunity of
witnessing a better contest here to
night when Greenville, of the North
eiuitem Conference, cornea to Hertford
heon nnnonnrod na mirht n'clock.
In the game with Jamesville, Coach.
Fearing used practically has entire
squad, after the regulars had secured
a commanding lead in the game.
During the first quarter the Indians
rolled up six first downs to one for
Jamesville and two touchdowns were
scored by Howard Williams and Vern
on IWhite. One try for extra point
was good and the score stood 13-0,
Perquimans.
The Indian reserves played most of
the second quarter, with the teams
playing about even. Perquimans scor
ed its third TD on a pass from John
ny Morris to Vernon White and the
score at half time was 19-0 for the
Indians. Jamesville opened up with
a passing attack in this period which
was effective and gave the visitors
three first downs to Perquimans two,

The Indians scored again in the
final quarter, on a sustained march of
20 yards with Overton, Williams and
