By GENE WARREN

Exploring tnrOugn the line 1Or
tremendous gains and firing long
aerails overhead, the powerful
New Hanover High School Wildcats
rolled over a fighting Kinston
eleven last night to score 80
points and completely battle the
$500 fans, who watched the un-
equal tilt with an offensive ma
chine that scored practically at
will.
In the first quarter the Orange
and Black marched 80 yards to
score in six plays. Kenneth Rog-
ers racked up the six points for
the Cats, as he galloped from his
own 38 yard line to the Kinston
Is for a long 81 yard thrust, and
crossed the last chalk mark from
the three, following Bannerman' S
romp from the 20. Graham Bare
foot's extra point kick was no
good, but the Orange and Black
led 60.
Unable to get their attack 60
ing, the Red and White pigskiners
of Kinston punted to the Whining
ton lads, giving them the ball on
81. Neither team was able to
move the pigskin, until the Cats
rammed the forward wall of the
foe to the 38 yard strip. from
where Captain Dave Bannerman
broke loose for a beautiful run
over the paydirt. Sykes failed to
boot the placement and the Han
overians were ahead 1910.
Coach Leon Brodgen then gave
his second stringers chance to
show their reserve ability, bring
ing the starters in for lest with
the huge throng cheering wildly.
James futile then began filling 1.-THE
air with passes to Neal Patrick,
who took one of his beauties for SO
yards from his 26 yard strip to the
opponents SO, but the brief threat
was stopped short when Billy Davis
intercepted for Kinston.
Failing to get anywhere against
the strong Wildcat forward wall,
who smothered the ball carriers
at every turn, the Kinston club was
forced once more to release the
ball.
The Orange and Black moved
down to the 10 yard line benin 1
the hard charging Bubba Sykes,
Rogers, and Sykes, who came back
in the conflict for the Me- Han
over eleven. A tumble though,
stopped this threat, but Johnny
Symmes, Cat quarterback, inter
cepted for the locals on Kinston's
81, covering the remainder of the
distance to the goal in nothing flat.
Sykes converted to give the High
School gridders 1910 margin as

a goal line stand on theic 10 as
Marcus fumbled punt. Neal

clipping penalty broughte the bal
back to the Kinston As.

Wilmington boys were stopped or
the foes nine yard strip, but they
were back within scoring distance
when Bannerman blasted throug.'
