iiesunue uf the 7 uuihall Swann The experience which the boys on the team of 1928 have had have been very beneficial to them, in both playing ability and cooperation. School began only two weeks before we had oiu' first game with Elizabeth City: our biggest rival. Only a very few reported for practice, as the boys did not seem to take much interest in the football team. It seemed as if the odds were still further against us as we had for the greater part inexperienced men. Going through some rather rough work-outs, we prepared for the game as Well as we could in so short a length of time. Elizabeth City beat us in the first half of the game, however, with lengthy end runs by Davis, the score being 20 to 0. The next game with Edenton, which we determined should not beat us. This time the score was 13 to 6 in our favor, the game being one that was hard fought on both sides. Then came New Bern which We dreaded because the team had never been beaten on this side of the Sound. The teams were evenly matched the first quarter and neither scored. During the second, however. a thirty yard pass from Leigh to L. Spivey gave us a touchdown, but we failed to get the extra point. From then on we held New Bern so tight that they began to pass, one after the other, but none of them were completed. Goodman intercepted one of these passes and ran about 50 yards, but his foot went outside four yards from the goal. The ball was then taken over by C. Spivey, thus making the score 12-0. The next game was with Rocky Mount. At the very beginning Rocky Mount recovered a fumble and scored a touchdown and the extra point. That was the only score of the game, thus making it 7-0 in the visitors' favor. To Scotland Neck the Perquimans Demons journeyed for the fifth game. We won 12-6. At Kinston we were so greatly impressed by the size of the boys that we feared the outcome of the game until we began to play. Randolph Winslow. Slim White and Charles Umphlett were the outstanding players in a game won by the score of 19-0. As Farmville dropped out of the Conference, they forfeited the next game to us. Then we went to Washington to play the strongest team that we met during the sason. We were defeated: Thus ended a very eventful season. In spite of a team composed almost entirely of new 26-0. men, we came out third in the Conference. SUMMARY Perquimans 0 Elizabeth City 20 Perquimans 13 --- .... Edenton -- Perquimans 12 --- ....

QRBEIIIIIB uf Easiest Ball Season The boys' basketball team played twelve games during the past season, as was scheduled by the Northeastern Conference, finishing the season with a game with Washington, N. C. Our team was composed of boys who had never had much experience in basketballg moreover, they were principally rural boys who did not have ample opportunity to practice. The season was not a glorious success so far as scores are concerned, buft it brought out a lot of boys who had hitherto not been particularly interested in basketball, and a start toward a very good season in 1929-30 has been made.
