ML : Edenton 13 To 7 Frtd Britton caught a 33-yard touchdown pass with 50 seconds remaining to play in the game Friday night to give the Eden ton Aces a 13-7 Albemarle Con ference victory of Perquimans before a crowd estimated at 1,700 spectators. The game was hard-fought throughout in a typical Edenton-Hertford grid iron battle. A blocked Hertford punt re covered by Edenton on the Hertford 38 set up the scoring drive that was climaxed as Britton gathered the aerial on the Indians' 10, juggled the ball a bit and wrestled himself from the grip of the lone Perquimans defender to score standing up. Edenton's other score was made in the final minutes of the first period as the result of a drive which began on the Aces' own 35. The key play was a handoff from Lloyd Lassiter to Ted Hardison that carried to the Indian 36. Robert White, shifty Edenton halfback, ' then sliced through the line, twisted away from three Hertford tacklers to go for a touchdown. Jack Bunch snagged Lassiter's pass for the extra point. Hertford began its 40-yard touchdown drive late in the third period, picking up three first downs with Johnny Mat thews reeling off gains after re covering an Edenton fumble. On the first play of the final period with fourth down and two yards away from the goal, Jimmy Sul livan crashed over his right tackle for the score. Matthews added the extra point through the line that tied the contest. I Edenton drove to the Hertford 20 after the Hertford score but gave up the ball on downs when two pass plays failed. Edenton dominated 'play most of the first half but the second half' was more evenly, matched. Hertford recovered an Eden ton fumble early in the first period on the visitors' 19 but lost 10 yards in the next four plays. The Aces drove to the Hertford 13 in the second period but lost on a fumble and drove down to the Hertford 22 just before the half ended. Edenton led in first downs 12 to 4, getting 7 of them in the first half. The Indians made all of their first downs in the sec ond half. The Aces completed 4 of 10 pass attempts while Hertford completed 2 out of 8 attempts and had one inter cepted. AUGUSTUS A.
