Jerry Schumacher His Wife Takes Off , So He Sits and Reminisces Bunch of golfers sitting in the" golf house talking to each other reminds me of the days I did a lit tle flying. In foul weather we lifted to sit in the hangar and tell tall stories, we called it "Hangar Fly ing." Like the one told about a colored caddy that the McCuistons used to know who looked like "Step 'n' Fetch It." Took a long time to figure out why he was so popular. Seemed he always caddied barefooted, and was always the first one out to his player's ball when it was in the rough. Now what he would do when he found the ball in the rough is step on it, carry it be tween his toes, keep on walking out to the fairway, drop it, and then turn around with a big grin and holler, "HEAH 1 IS." 1 was going to Florida in the hot rod, but seems the motor blew apart and I had to spend my money to build a new en gine ? so decided stay hare instead and play golf. You know, I sure have It tough??? Someone asked me how my feud between Ray Garrett and myself and the golf course was coining along. So I said that I graduated out of his class since I clobbered him several times in a row; however, yesterday In* turned in a neat "43" and pinned my ears back. So in stead of graduating I guess I bet ter go back to school. Well, it won't be long now when the road to the beach will be parked up with traffic for miles; and thousands of pretty girls in scanty bathing suits, glamour gals parading all over town in shorts and halters. "OH 1X)RI>Y ME. WON'T SUMMER EVER COME?" A fellow came flying in in a sea plane, taxied it on the beach be hind the Jefferson Hotel, stepped out with his suitcase and registered, got up the next morning, tended to his business, climbed back, and tooli off. It's hard to believe that just a few years ago we had horses and buggies; and if the wind wasn't right, you had to row from Beau fore to Morehead. Heard at the Bine Ribbon the other night by a glamour chick, "A man's head is like a door knob ? It can be turned." Put my glamour gal 6n the bus for Florida the other day and don't you know it when the bus pulled out I wanted to run after it? Gosh for that few minutes that it took for the bus to get out of sight I was the most forlorn and lonesome man in the whole world. You know Fenny talks all the time and I am so used to it that I don't even listen, but the minute she stops I miss it tho most. ^ One time in Hollywood I was lueky enough to be invited to a dinner party that included several movie stars, two or three real sharp starlets and the usual sprinkling of writers and assistant directors. Well anyway, a very good-looking fellow sitting beside me was mak ing a tremendous play, and it was being returned too, at the waitress who didn't look like much to me, so I said, "Pardon me, but with all the glamour and beauty at this table how come you're courting the waitress?" "Well," he answered, "it's like this, the waitress likes me." fiaAJ?jeiJxcUl SCORES Beaufort (Boys) 74 Dixon ...... 35 Beaufort (Girls) 60 Dixon 47 Newport (Boys) 43 Smyrna 33 Newport (Girls) 33 Smyrna 37 Newport (Boys) 48 Swansboro 50 Newport (Girls) 34 Swansboro 55 | FOR ....

Camp Lejcune scrap on the Beaufort court. The Ium tune the two met. Camp lx'jeune grabbed a hard-earned 4845 victory in the lust 20 second of play 011 the I.ejeune court. Led by Charlie Sells and Bobby Peele, the Devilpups are undeleat ed in Seashore conference play >\ilh a 13 0 record. Beaufort is in second place, via last Friday's win uver Morehead City, with a 12 4 record. Sea Dogs llard to Stop With Gehrmann Holland and Murray l'ittman leading the way, Beaufort has been mighty rough to stop on its home court. Games have been low scorers for the most part with Beaufort coming out on top. The girls won't have any trouble in defeating the Lejeune girls, but the main event is rated a toss up. The home court may well pro vide an upset, but the odds are mighty slim. Other cage action in the county finds Smyrna travelling to New port for both teams' final game of the season. Newport downed the Smyrna crew Tuesday 43-33 on the Smyrna court. With Newport at home, Smyrna will have to pull a big surprise out of the bag to top a fine New port Five led by Harlan Carraway and Sid Manning. Intcrscctional battles find More head City travelling to Hichlands in a game the odds makers give to the Kagles; Pamlico visiting Swansboro in a battle that is rated a toss up on Swansboro's court; and Jones Central will be host to Dixon, who took a 74 35 lacing from Beaufort. The "Jones" boys will end their season on a victori ous note. Gym Team Will Perform at UNC Sports-minded fans throughout this section will have an opportun ity to witness gymnastics at its best March 4 when the world-renowned Swedish gym team performs in Woolen (lymnasium at Chapel Hill The Swedes, world champions and their country's representative in the Olympics, will put on an ex hibition as one leg of their tour throughout the United States. Their American itinerary includes over 30 exhibitions. In the past not a big spectator sport in this area, gymnastics may be rejuvenated as such after the Swedes' visit. The European team arrived in this country Jan. 8. and most of their 11 exhibitions to date have been sellouts. North Carolina gym coach Bill Meade expects the sport to take on new impetus after the Swedes put on their big show at Chapel Hill. The Swedes are led by William Thoresson, the 1952 Olmypic champ in exercises, and Borje Stat tin, Swedish and Scandinavian champion. Another star is Anders * * Tliree Carteret County high school basketball teams have sig nified their intentions of entering (be State Class A Sectional Basket ball Tournament March 5 and 6 on the Newport hardwood. Gannon Talbert. More bead City High coach, said yesterday. The teams that will participate in the tourney are Morehead City, Beaufort. Newport, and Camp Le jeune with the winner and runner up to participate in the district tourney to be played the following weekend, March 12 and 13. Seeding* and pairings have not y*?t been made, Mr. Talbert said, but will be made sometime next week. A meeting of district repre sentatives was held in Wallace Monday night when entrants and dates of the tourneys were made known, he said. The entrance of Newport and Morehead City in the sectional tourney came after a meeting of the Seashore Conference executive committee at Swansboro last Thurs day night. Mr. Talbert explained. Morehead City was represented by (i. T. Winded, high school prin cipal, and Mr. Talbert. They raised an objection to the committee's rul ing that only the first and second teams in conference standings are permitted to enter the sectional tourney. After a discussion, fhe commit tee rescinded the ruling and stated that any team in the conference could enter the sectional tourney provided it complies with State Athletic Association regulations, Coach Talbert reported. The NCHSAA says that high school teams in each of the three classes may enter only two post season tourneys, counting the state tournament as one. Since a tournament is held in Carteret County and also in the conference, teams entering the state tourney under the new ruling must choose to bypass the confer ence tourney. Camp IiCjeune and Beaufort are automatically in the state tourney as first and second place teams in the conference. For Morehead City and Newport to enter the state tourney, they Will have to -bypass the conference tourney. Camp Lejoune High School offi cials have been reported as against the new ruling of the executive committee. They want the old rul ing reinstated although the team itself is not eligible for the confer ence tourney, being conference lenders. New|?ort was represented at the executive committee meeting by E. B. Comer. Newport principal. Beau fort's member is Coach Thomas McQuaid. He was not present.
