Tigs Take 2nd Straight Win; Beat Southport Fullback Tommy Bowmer Of Losers, Captain Clifton Burchette Of Tigers Star As Hallsboro Rolls To 26 13 Triumph BY JIGGS POWERS (News Reporter Sports Editor) HALLSBORO? Held to a tie at halftime by a surprisingly tough Southport eleven, Coach Ed Thompson's Hallsboro Tiger crew came back with a three-touch down onslaught in the final two periods here, friday afternoon, to gain a 26-13 win. Each team had an outstanding star. Tommy Bowmer, power house fullback for the invaders from the Lower Cape Fear City, was especially brilliant with his titanic gains through the Tiger line as he carried the brunt of the ground-gaining of the losing combine. Captain Clifton Bur I chette, quarterback of the locals, ' i was held to a minimum in the I first half but came back in the I final two quarters to lead his j team to triumph. i Both teams fiddled around be- J tween their respective 20-yard lines during the opening period j with neither making a serious i threat. Southport scored first by j counting midway the second quar- j ter. The visitors were in a tough | spot as the stanza opened since i Charles Ray's kick had bounced out on the Southport 6. However, j I Red Ward passed to Bobby i Spencer on a play that carried 24 yards to the 30. Billy McDowell sprinted to the Hallsboro 46 on 1 a double-reverse. Then Big Tom 1 my Bowmer took over. He plowed I to the 35, then, after Ward had ? lost tc the 38 and Bill McDowell j had been tackled on the 41, a ! pass failed and Spencer kicked 1 j to Tiger Captain Clifton Burchette [ on the Tig 10. He returned to the 22 but fumbled when tackled and Paul Anrold recovered for Southport at that point. Bowmer carried through tac- ' kle to the 16, then to the 11. Red I Ward moved to the Bogue 1, and Bowmer drove through guard for the TD. He duplicated for the ?

Member Federnl Deposit Insurance Corporation ? 1 extra-point and Southport led, 7-0. In a drive featuring the run ning of Charles Ray and Jinx Cook, along with the pass com bination of Burchette-to-Phil Ray, the Tigers came bounding back I to knot the count. Cook covered | the final three yards for the j tally and Burchette swept end for point. J The Thompsonmen scored their | second TD in the 3rd on a 19-yard 1 dash off-tackle by Burchette and I C. Ray went around end for | point. Southport retaliated, early j in the 4th, when Tommy Bow- 1 mer, almost single-handed, drove j to their other score but failed | to push the PAT over, and Halls- j boro had won the game. In this i drive, over the final 29 yards, I Bowmer carried the oval on 5 of the last 6 attempts toward the goal with his supreme effort carrying the last 2 yards across the double-stripe. Halls boro added two insurance | counters in the fourth; one on1 Charles Ray's 26-yard end-run, the other on Burchette's intercep tion of Ward's heave on South port 49 which he ran across the goal line unmolested. The latter was a beautiful play to watch, as the Tiger captain took the aerial with his back to the Southport goal, whirled, and dashed 49 yards down the east sideline to glory. The Southport club gave a very good account of themselves for a team in their freshman year. Considering the fact that this was only their third regular-scheduled game since formation late in the season, they played exceedingly well. Besides Bowmer, who was their real star, there were several other embryro grid sattelites in) the visiting lineup. Billy McDo- 1 well ran well with the ball on j occasions. Tommy Fisher and I Bobby Spencer played bang-up ball in the Southport line, along \ with Paul Arnold, who was ever alert on defense. ! For Hallsboro, the big gun was Captain Burchette. Charles Ray did his usual share of good run ning, along with big Jinx Cook who was injured during the con test. Little Phil Ray, with his pass-catching, Sammy Flynn and Buck Hall did splendid work in the winners' forward wall. N. A. Barnes did well at his backer-up post, also.

Pirates Defeat Tabor Juniors 1 Shallotte Gets 14 To 6 Vic tory Over Border-Town JV's; Wa* First Loss For TC Crew After Four Wins j TABOR CITY? Shallotte's Pir ates won a closs 14-6 victory over Tabor City's JV Little Devils at jcivitan Field Thursday night. The Brunswick County team, whose officials asked to play the local JV's instead of the regular scheduled varsity game, scored in the second and fourth quarters to notch a single-touchdown mar gin. It was their first victory over a Columbus County gridiron team, and was the first loss of the season for the local baby Devils who had racked up four straight wins prior to Thursday, i Thomas Gray, the quarterback ' of the Pirates, scored early in the 2nd quarter on a 5-yard plunge, then added the point by the same route. The only Tabor City score came on a 30-yard pass play with Dock Fowler tossing to Dalton Ander I son for the TD. The halftime (scored showed the visitors lead ing, 7-6. The most thrilling run of the | game came on the second-half I kickoff. Dalton Anderson, Devil halfback, took the Shallotte boot on his own 5-yard line and ran it back to the Pirate 15 in a dazzling 80-yard sprint before he was caught by Shallotte's safety man. This failed to furnish enough impetus to the locals to count, however, as the winning combina tion held for downs. The winning TD for Shallotte was scored by Halfback Bunky Bellamy, who drove over from the 7-yard mark in the final period. Tom Gray again plunged for the point. The TC boys just didn't have the scoring punch. They could gain consistently in midfield but could never summons the drive to j carry the oval over the last white line. This was proven by the fact that they advanced inside the Pirate 20 at least four times only to lose the ball on downs. ? Supply Citizen Dies Saturday Robert M.
