A private, 2-seater plane, low on fuel and with near zero visibility, made a forced landing in a peanut field at Box Elder and slipped over on its back.

The plane was landed on the Molly Hare Farm around 5:30 p.m. during a misty rain. The pilot, N.E. Buck Rogers, Conner Place, said this morning he was flying to the Portsmouth airport from Petersburg when bad weather closed in on him and he was unable to make his destination due to a shortage of gas.

Raiders underdogs again

Suffolk High’s football team, away from home for the second straight week, is figured a one touchdown underdog in the Eastern District Group I at Princess Anne. …As of yesterday, Coach Dick White wasn’t quite sure which, if any, of his casualties will be available to play tonight. Of the three regulars who didn’t play last week against Newport News – Billy Harrell, Jackie Bartles and Peter Doughtie – Bartles is definitely out, Harrell is an uncertain and Doughtie is apparently ready to go.
