Soalhport Wins Over Shallotte Local Eleven Rack Up First Fooioall Victory By 18 To 0 Margin Over Brunswick County Rivalo I Southport traveled through the air, around the end and through the middle for three touchdowns Thursday afternoon for an 18 to 0 victory over visiting Shallotte. Tins was the first local gridiron victory in its maiden year of foot bail. j The first score came ea*'iy in1 the opening period and followed a punt exchange which gave Southport the hail on the Shal lo.te 22-yard lino. Russ picked up 2 yards off-tackle; Bowmer hit the middle for no gain: then | Bowmer found a hole and went through ?or 3 yards. With fourth down coming up and 5 yards to p.), Russ l::t Bobby Spencer with a pass and he lateialed off to Ward at the 10-yard stripe. The re i head made :t from there alone, standing i n. The try for point; v.-:', missed and Soutiiport led, 6 to 0. Ward set the stage for the sec-' om! period score when he inter-1 cepted a Fioyd Kirby pass and i I was downed on the Shallotte 8 I yard line. Bowmer hit the middle | for a yard, then little G. W. Fisher came tearing around from his left end position to score. Once more the try for point fail ed and Southport led 12 to 0. Russ intercepted a Shallotte pass on their own 39-yard line to set up business for the third | touchdown. He passed to Bobby, Spencer for 8 yards; then Bow mer hit the middle for 2-yards j and a first down. Jack Robinson, i who spent a busy afternoon in the Southport backfield, broke through to throw McDowell for j a 5-yard loss. Russ then took' aim at Fisher and connected with j a pass that appeared to be going all the way. Gene White, Shal- j lotte scat-back, flashed into the i picture and brought Fisher down from behind on the 2-yard line. J Russ carried on the first play I and lost a yard. Bowmer hit the J line and got it back. Bowmer plunged again and this time j wound up in the end zone for the ! final touchdown. The try for I point failed and the score was j 18 to 0. That was all for Southport, but j the third touchdown seemed to inspire the Shallotte team to launch an offensive all their own. Thomas Gray brought the kick off back to his own 46-yard line. Quarterback Mark Gray traveled for 14 yards, then tacked on an AND MORE OF IT! Get 12 Full Glasses in Pepsi's Six 12-oz. Bottles More for your money?in taste and value.

C. other first down with 12 more yards. Once more it was Mark Gray for 10 yards and a first down at the Southport 28-yard line. Bellamy carried for no gain, then hit the line for 3 yards as the third quarter ended. The intermission failed to cool off the Shallotte hot streak, and after losing 4-yards, Mark Gray j got them back by completing a j pass to Bellamy for a first down at the Southport 10-yard stripe, j Operating in the shadow of the Southport goal posts, Shallotte fumbled on their next running play but recovered at the line of I scrimage. Mark Gray then pass-1 ed to Scott McKeithan for a 3-! yard gain to the Southport 7-1 yard line. Bellamy picked up 2' yards through the line, but a i fourth down pass fell incomplete and Southport took over on their j own 5-yard line. This was not the only goal- j line stand of the afternoon, for Shallotte threw up a stubborn defense on two occasions which failed to yield when Southport was pounding their way to pay dirt. In addition to ftobinson, the defensive work of McKeithan was outstanding for Shallotte. Much of the credit for the de-! fensive play of Southport belongs to the line-backers, who plugged holes as fast as they showed in1 the farward wall. The various combinations used up front by Coach H. T. Sanders proved hard to crack. G. W. Fisher, dimunittve South port left end, was the outstand ing addition to the Southport at tack. He used his speed to make a clever end-around play work time after for valuable yardage and also snared one Russ pass to put his team in scoring posi tion. His work was all the more timely because of the way Shal lotte was stopping McDowell on his reverses and Bowmer through the line. Southport plays the New Han over JV's Friday in Wilmington and Shallotte plays Myrtle Beach the same day. Hitjh Times By: Lib, Jan, Toog and Glo Well, guesa all of the football fans have heard about the game which was played on our field with Shallotte Thursday after noon, but just in case the news hasn't gotten to some of you yet, Southport won a victory with a score of 18 to 0. The touch downs were carried across by Tommy Bowmer, Roger Ward and G. W. Fisher. Everyone that saw the game said it was clean and hard fought. All the boys did' a great piece of work and we are very proud to own such a victory. Our next game will be Friday, November 11, with JV's of Wil mington at Wilmington. Come on out! Let's get another win. Excitement came first thing Monday in the form of our school pictures. The classes were getting along nicely until Merle Muncey walked in with them. We don't T believe the teachers ever succeed ed in getting the rooms entirely quiet to continue the classes. Part of this was due to the fact that all we wanted was an excuse to celebrate.' It's needless to men tion again that we defeated the Shallotte Pirates 18 to 0. Mr. Robinson, one of our teach ers, has been practicing his girls and boys to be entered in the Talent Show at Bolivia. We're sure that Mr. Robinson will get the full cooperation of these en trants and we all wish them good luck. We could also mention that he is really training the boys and girls in writing themes and giving oral reports. The grammar grades have very | colorful drawings and arrange ments on the walls. The third grade has colorful flower arrange i ments on their board. The fifth grade also has a good collection of drawings and day work. j Seen Around: Karen Swan, J. B.
