Beaufort Defeats Wallace High in Finals Saturday Night to Notch District Laurel ?To Enter State Tourney Final Round at Aberdeen By SHELLY SMOYEK Sports Editor The Beaufort High Sea DQgs basketball squad will go to Aberdeen this weekend to represent the east in the final round of the State Class A basketball tourney which starts Thursday and ends Saturday. Cary, Ahoskie, and Massey Hill, the other eastern dis trict champs, will be on hand to vie with Beaufort for the state crown. Beaufort earned the^ right to represent District Two Sat urday night by defeating Wallace, 47-38 in the district finals at Ken ansville. Playing before a packed gym in cluding 120 Beaufort fans, the Sea Dogs had to overcome a two-point deficiency in the second period and stave off a third period drive by Wallace to notch the win. With Jimmy Willis and Herb Ma son grabbing the ball off the boards, Beaufort jumped to a 5-3 lead in the early minutes of the first period only to see Brownie Salmon and Dick Cording team to put Wallace ahead 6-5 in the mid dle of the period. Wallace Leads Joe Wallace and Wray Carlton got into the scoring act and pushed Wallace to a 9-5 lead. Jimmy Wil lis and Gehrmann Holland hit two straight buckets, tying the score and Wallace sued for time as the quarter was ending. Wallace went into the lead, 11-9, as the period closed, on two charity tosses. The second period was a differ ent story. Willis and Holland be gan to dominate both boards as Murray Pittman burned up the floor with his ball hawking and jump shots. As the period opened both teams hit buckets. Holland tied the game at 11-11 with a neat hook as Wal lace hit a set shot from outside putting Wallace ahead, 13-11. Pitt man, taking the ball on a neat pass from Willis, who nabbed a rebound, raced for the bucket and put the game in a tie with a jump shot, 13-13. Willis added another jump shot moments later putting Beaufort in the lead, 15-13; a lead it never re linquished. Beaufort was now red hot and scoring every time they got the ball. Holland and Pittman blasted away being fed by Willis and Hugh Mason who controlled the boards and the ball. Wallace only got four points in the second period as Beaufort was playing with all the polish of a championship team. The Beaufort fans were yelling encouragement and the Sea Dogs were responding to lead 21-15 at half time. Beaufort continued to control the ball in the early part of the third period when the game re sumed, but Wallace began to rally before the period was two minutes old. Cording and Carlton were gaining control of the ball and giv ing Steve Mills, a little but deadly guard, protection for his jump shots. With the score 26-16, Wallace began its drive, rolling in five straight points as Beaufort hit two, making the score 28-21 with a min ute and a half left. Wallace hit for three more points in the final min ute to close the gap, trailing 24-28 at the end of the quarter. Holland hit a charity toss as the fourth period opened giving the Sea Dogs a five-point lead, 29-24, but Wallace's Mills dumped in a fielder to narrow the gap again, 29-26. Murray Pittman and Holland blasted away using the charity line and the field to open the gap 35-27. Wallace pumped in two buckets making the .scoiV 35-31. Again Pitt man and now Herb Mason opened See SEA DOGS, Pa*e 7 Beaufort Routs Bolivia; Lejeune Tops Shallotte By S/SGT. J. J.

Billy Hudson sank one from the side, Johnny Mugford another, then Hudson again to put the pups ahead SO in the first minute of play With 40 secoods to go in the first period, Charlie Sella twisted his ankle and was removed from (fee game. Sella baa been an out .1) ' ? - eti standing player all season and his loss at this time would be a serious setback to Lejeune. But he was okay for Friday's game.

No This is "Be Kind to Stupid Peo Ple Week." If the waitress bring! you two eggs instead of two hot cakes as you ordered, remember, if she had any brains she wouldn't be behind the counter working for eighteen dollars a week; so just smile sweetly and say, "I like my eggs fried a la Sunset." To her self she will think, "What a jerk! If he had any brains he wouldn't have to eat in this crummy Joint." And so it goes, on and on. You learn golf by picking up practice balls, not by playing. This I learned the hard way. When I first started, Mac the Pro said that 72 practice balls was what I needed so bought same. A week later I only had 38. Reason, I knocked them ev ery place except where they were supposed to go. Now having to pick them up my self, I decided practicing was for the birds. In fact, it was too much like work. Mind you, not hitting them, No Sir, picking them up. But now that I am over that pain ful learning stage, practicing is fun and picking up balls is no work at all cause mostly they are all in a neat little pile where I aimed them in the first place. So when practicing is no longer work; it becomes fun. Then you will practice more and more and suddenly you will be playing good golf. Now my new method of golf instruction is going to be named "Picking Up Practice Balls." A fellow from New Bern who still fights the Civil War regularly was mad as a wet hen when his daughter, Clo-ee, insisted on going up North to go to college. So sure enough she fell in love with a northerner from Harvard. Pretty soon Clo-ee wrote her Mom and Pop that she was going to get married. The mother was afraid to tell her husband this distressing news but finally she said, "What do you think about Clo-ee marrying a Dam Yankee?" Well, the old man said, 'That sure is one way to pay them back." I been trying to learn the Rhumba out at the Blue Rib bon but I guess it just ain't in me. Everybody has a different version on how it should be done, but I think Bob Hope has the one that hits nearest to home. He says, "A Rhumba is where the front of you foes along nice and smooth like a cadillac and the back goes like a Jeep with a flat tire." Well, the winter season is over. Some places decide this by the ap pearance of robins on the front lawn and other places by various other means. But here in Morehead City when Captain Bill Styron's boat dock is full up for the night with yachts coming from Florida to their northern berths, then Brother, WINTER IS OVER!

Golfer's Son Kills Copperhead The 9-year-old son of Capt. F. K. McManus. frequenter at the More head City Golf Club, averted a near tragedy last week at Cherry Point - when he beat to death a young topperhead snake at the entrance to his home. Kerry, the captain's son, and sev eral other young children were digging in the earth near Apart ment B, MOQ, when the snake came wriggling out of the ground. Kerry ran for a stick, and, by irritating the snake, caused it to coil around the implement. He then beat the stick against the side of the building, killing the snake. In the meantime, Jimmy O'Konek, who was playing in Kerry's group, had gone to get his mother. Mrs O'Konek came out and found the children grouped about the snake. Captain McManus and his wife played at the Morehcad City golf course Sunday. As a guest of Bob Banks, Morehcad City, he shot 70 recently in foursome.
