THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH, N. C. 6--11 Sunday Morning, October 11, 1959 Prep Clipboard by Grady Elmore Twenty-five years ago, Edenton High School won its first State football championship. The anniversary was celebrated this past Friday with the 1934 coach, his helpers and formnight er players being honored at halftime. There are indications that another celebration could be in order after the post-season playoffs this year.

That 1934 team, coached by Henry House, now a University of North Carolina professor, and made up of only 12 regular players, was untied, undefeated and unscored upon. Edenton defeated Western champ Reidsville, whose coach was a young fellow named L. J. Perry, by 6-0 for the State Class title at Chapel Hap Perry, veteran North Carolina High School Athletic Association executive secretary now, coached quite. a few State champs at Reidsville.

The 1959 Edenton team and the game of football no doubt offer quite a contrast to that 1934 club. But the present Aces look like contenders for Edenton's fifth State Championship, and first in its new AA classification. Six Straight Wins This Time Edenton has won six straight this season, including victories over two teams of higher classification, 3-A Roanoke Rapids and Elizabeth City. And only one touchdown has been scored against the team. Before the season, Coach Bill Billings was concerned with the lack of offensive experience.

Only two regulars were back from last year, but there were 16 other lettermen. Most of the boys who lettered played on defense only last year, however. The offense has come around, however. Edenton has averaged over four touchdowns per game. Billings has introduced I formations plays, even.

His Aces still employ the as the basic formation, but some I and some spread plays also are used. Billings became familiar with Maryland Coach Tom Nugent's I creation through Bill O'Hara, who has been on. Nugent and Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes' staffs, a summer school acquaintance at William and Mary. Small is Standout at Guard Minton Small, 190-pound guard who has been a regular for two years, is a standout on this Edenton eleven. Billings says he doesh't know just what colleges want now, with the trend toward bigger and bigger linemen, but "if I were a college coach, he is the kind of boy I would want." Tackle Wayne Baker also was a regular last year.

The other lettermen are ends Johnny Phillips, Fred Britton and Jimmy Johnston; tackle Johnny Faircloth; guards Jimmy White and Ervin Griffin; centers Johnny Forehand, La Dell Parker and Lloyd Mills; quarterback Lloyd Lassiter; fullback Bubba Hopkins; and halfbacks LeRoy Spivey, Richard Dixon, Jerry Tolley, Billy Dail and Zackie Harrell. Billings hesitates to single out any player, "We have a real good he says, "but no one particular back stands out. The whole team is like that-well-balanced. "This team," Billings admits, "compares very favorably with the best teams we've had." He has had some excellent ones. Three State Class A Titles In Billings' five previous seasons as coach, Edenton won three State Class A championships -in 1954, his first year, 1956 and 1957.

The 1954 title was the first for Edenton in 1 20 years, since that 1934 achievement. The Aces won the Albemarle Conference title again last year, but lost out; to Southern Pines in the Eastern playoffs. Whether Edenton bids for Billings' fourth State crown in 1 six years this season is still very much undecided, with three unpredictable conference contests remaining--including challenges from Ahoskie and Plymouth. And another big block to an unbeaten season comes up this Friday against a 4-A team, Rocky Mount. Did those 1934 Edenton players contribute sons, towards this year's fine team? "No," Billings reports, "but some of them had the best cheerleaders you ever saw." As Bell Boots Another Goal Caps Display Tough Defense By CHURCK BARBOUR.

The 3-0 victory scored by Raleigh over the Wilmington Wildcats 5 at Devereux Meadow Friday night was enough in itself to make Coach Clyde Walker happy, but the Cap pilot received extra pleasure from one thing and another in the game. Walker, a staunch teacher of football defense, had nothing pus praise for the defensive work of his charges. For the second week straight the Caps had held a conference school scoreless, and for the 35th consecutive game Raleigh had scored in a contest. "I stress defense all the he said, "because I feel like we will get some points somehowwe always do- and when our team holds a conference squad sccreless, I think that's good defense." Walker would not single cut any individual for an outstanding performance, "because they all, performed well," but he bragged about the game-winning field goal booted by Alex Bell without mentioning Bell's name.

402 Downtown Blvd. TE 2-9723 Support Your United Fund "I think teams in the are becoming more and more re conscious of the field goal possibilities now," he said. "It has, won for us two weeks straight." Against Durham last week, Bell kicked a 27-yard field goal to take the lead in the game. The Caps finally won 9-0, but the field goat would have been enough. Walker had nothing but praise for the Wildcats, coached by Leon Brogden.

"They are by far the best passing team we have met thus far this season," he said, "and they have a pretty good running game." Fumbles hurt Wilmington in Friday night's contest, just as fumbles hurt Raleigh in their conference opener against defending champion Wilson. "I think our hard-hitting had something to do with those bobbles," Walker said, "but one or two were caused from poor ball handling in the backfield." Bell kicked his field goal with 25 seconds remaining in the first half. Walker said he called for the play before running a couple of plays because "we didn't have any more time and I was afraid a rupning play would run the clock out before we got a chance at the field He said maybe he figured wrong, but as it turned out, it didn't matter anyway. Walker said from Friday night's game he had learned one thing. All of the backs he has running on the varsity squad are capable of playing.

"Out of the 13 backs we have," he said, "10 are underclassmen and we have learned we can play them all. It gives us a good feeling to know we have these Raleigh continues its conference grind next week, meeting Goldsboro in Goldsboro. The following week they journey to Burlington, then Fayetteville at Devereux Meadow and then Rocky Mount.

ON THE GOLF SCENE By CHUCK BARBOUR Mike Souchak is finding it hard to stay out of the winner's circle even while on vacation. The husky swinger, entered the Carolinas Professional Golf Association tournament at Kinston this week more for paractice in preparation for the upcoming Ryder Cup matches than anything else, but shot himself into another victory with ease.

The ex-Duke footballer won the tourney by a full seven strokes to collect first money of $250. His score was 71-66- 67-204. After the first round Mike was way down the list with a over par, but his consistent shooting in the rains and steady putting on the worked out greens brought him the win. The victory for Mike was an excellent demonstration of how much better a professional has to be to remain on the touring circuit and make any money at it. Some of the Carolinas' best non-touring professionals took part in the annual event, and none could match strokes with Souchak.

Charlie Farlow's 211 and second place usually is a winner in such tournaments when there are no contestants who are hot off the professional circuit, but his 211 was seven strokes off Mike's pace. Souchak and other members of the Ryder Cup team will play the British in California next month. There was only one professional from Raleigh taking part in. the PGA event this year. Agee Welch of the Raleigh Country Club entered the event and finished with a 226.

The defending champion, lefthander Thorne Wood of Asheboro, finished in a tie for third place with Al Smith and Ducky Miller at 213. Each received $125 each for their efforts.

Wyoming Line Coach Stricken LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) John Tobin, 30, football line coach at the University of Wyoming, suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after halftime of the Colorado State University-Wyoming game Saturday. Tobin died at Ivinson Memorial Hospital following the game, won by Wyoming, 29-0. The seizure came a few minutes after the second kickoff. Tobin was.

Friends said Tobin had no previous record of heart trouble.

Tobin was a guard on Michigan State's football team in 1948, 1949 and 1950. He was born in Dearborn, and lived all his life in the Detroit area before moving to Wyoming two years ago. He came to the University here when Bob Devaney, former assistant coach at Michigan State, was appointed Wyoming head coach. Tobin had been line coach at Hillsdale College in Michigan for three years. He is survived by his widow, Donna, and three daughters.
