Billy Adams Torn Ligament, Sept. 30, 1924

Billy Adams Out Due to Injuries. . . Captain of Blue and Gold Grid Warriors Forced Into Idleness on Account of Injured Knee; Absence Will be Keenly Felt

The chances of the Blue and Gold grid outfit of defeating the Greenville Hi gridders received a severe jolt on Saturday when it was learned that Captain Billy Adams will not be in the line-up due to injuries received in the Goldsboro classic last Friday. Physicians stated that Adams will be unable to play for at least two weeks, due to a torn ligament in his left leg.

The absence of the pilot of the local outfit will be keenly felt by the Blue and Gold eleven, his brilliant offensive work has been a tower of strength in the local backfield for the past two seasons, and coach Rockhill has not a substitute that can fill the vacancy left by the veteran back.
