A powerful, hard driving Wlldat

or but scrappy Whiteville team,
80 to 10. The Cats scored IN every
period, with Jumping j K
Lorimore scoring three OF the hall
dozen touchdoWns.
Buck Hardee, speedy blocking
back. was the main threat OF the
losing eleven, scoring one OF the
un-stater's touchdoWns on f.
yard pass.
PLAY-BY-PLAY
The locals received the opening
kickoff which was taken by LoWrl-
more on his own 20-yard stripe.
He returned the kick to the Will
mington IS and the game was on.
After series of unsuccessful
plays the Wolfpack took over. but
were also unable to reach pay ter
ritory.
Upon receiving the pig-skin for
their second chance the Cats be-
gan to roll and pushed the bal
down to the Whiteville 40 yard
marker. Quarterback Bill Aud was
then sent into the ball game and
long pass to lanky end Council

1876.
The next tally came in the sec
ond quarter. Alter a short ex
change of plays the Pack gave up
the ball to the Wildcats and from
their own 40-yard line the locals
pushed down to the Whiteville lC
with Dyches and Lowrimore doing
the fancy stepping. FIR m the
Whiteville five, little Jack LoWrl,
more, flashy halfback, plunged
over for the score. McIlwain's con,
version was straight through the
uprights for the extra point and
the Wilmington lads we're holding
the heavy end of 1870 score.
However, the Whiteville
weren't to be outdone and on the
next play, the kickoff, Kelly took
the kick on his own 3-yard marker
and started up the center OF the
field: as he reached the mld-fleld
stripe he took to the sidelines and
raced the remainder OF the dis
lance for the score. The point
after the touchdown was no good,
and the locals still held the lead,
The second half was ali the To-
calls except for the final minutes
of the fourth period. At this point
in the game Hardee stood under
the long pass for the final score
for the losers. The point after the
score was good, but the 1918 LEAD
of the Wildcats was just too much
to overcome in such short length
of time, and the game ended with
the Wildcats in possession OF the
ball end a Sc oring march under
way. ....
The spotlight of the local outfit
shone on number of New Han
over squad. In the line Watts, 2oo'
pound end, looked very good both
on the defense and the offense,
snatching a long pass from the
hands of a Whiteville back ne
raced 20 yards into pay d t.
"Red'' Holt, 200-pound tackle, aesc
stood out in the line as we'll as
big Jim Snow, 200-pound guard
Both Snow and Holt were on the
rough end of more than thel1
share of the ball-playing.
In the backfield Bill Mcllwaln'
dependable blocking and placeklck,
ing; piggy" Dyches' beautiful
line plunging with the neat pass
ing of Johnny Symmes and the
flashy running of Jack Lowrirnore
we're the deciding factors of the
Wilmington Wildcats first win OF
the 1943 gridiron season.
