Grid Coach Norman Clark made his debut in Morehead City grid ciieles by issuing the first call to practice yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. Twenty-five boys answered the call to begin practice for the firat game which is four weeks away, Sept. 10, against Swansboro. Two Sessions Dally Practice sessions will be held twice daily, morning and late after noon. During the first couple of weeks sessions will be limited to condi tioning drills, calisthenics, and passing and kicking drills. Basic fundamentals will be given to those aspirants coming out for the first time. Coach Clark will have a nucleus of 28 experienced men around which to mold this year's squad. Only four mainstays are missing from last year's Seashore Confer ence champs, vftiieh compiled a 7-3 over-all record. Those who have graduated are Dan Whealton, guard; Jimmy High smith, tackle; Horace Willis, cen ter and defensive line backer; and End Walt Thomas. Brad Mcintosh and Jimmy Willis were Horace Willis's understudies last year and will provide material for the vacant center position. Rackfield Returns Coach Clark is blessed with sev eral capable replacements for Highsmith, Whealton, and Thomas. The backfield remains intact with Kemp "Baby" Wickizer, left half; Danny O'Neal, right half; Bobby Willis, quarterback; and Jerry Con ner, fullback. Clark will stick to the split "T" used by the Eagles last year, fea turing the running of Wickizer, but [he will be without the aid of Assist ant Coach A. L. Awtrey, who has moved to South Carolina. Uniforms will be issued next week and later intra-squad scrim mages are planned.

Y. ? (AP) - Two years ago Pat Tuccio, a 35 year-old Italian immigrant who deals in used cars and dabbles in harness racing, paid $4,000 for a trotting mare he had never seen. The gamble is still paying off handsomely. The mare, Katie Key, earned $79,337 for Tuccio since he bought her from Julius Sitz of Wakeeney, Kan., in the summer of 1952. Re cently at Rosecroft Raceway in Bal timore she set a track record of 2:03 for the mile. Not only that but Tuccio is going to accept an offer to race his 7 year-old mare in Sweden this fall. He has been guaranteed $15,000 a month, plus expenses. "First I'd like to see her ful fill her engagements at Rosecroft aifd Laurel," says Tuccio. "Then there are some big summer races around, like the $35,000 Roosevelt Raceway trot on July 15. "I might even go over to Swe den in October to see her race. I've stipulated that she will race only once a week, on Sundays when they have the big races in Sweden." Trotting's Cinderella horse first lifted eyebrows last fall when she captured the $50,000 Roosevelt Trot with veteran Clint Hodgins driving.

Beaufort was awarded the game on a forfeit when Salter Path quit in the top of the eighth with the score tied 13-13. Salter Path left the field at the command of Mana ger Ty Frost after a lengthy rhu | barb over an umpire's decision. I Salter Path had the bases load ed and two out with Harold Die* bert at the plate carrying two strikes. Willis Steals Home Wade Willis^ on third, received the signal to steal home and took 1 off with Jim Parkins' delivery. The plate .umpire called Willis safe, but as Willis was coming in, Die bert switched from the normal' batting stance to bunt position as the ball crossed- the plate. The base umpire went up to the plate umpire and wanted to know what the pitch was called. The plate umpire said it was a strike, called Diebert out, and nullified the run. Diebert and Frost stoutly main tained that no attempt was made to hit the ball, only a shift occurred. The plate umpire said that Diebert shifted his feet and pushed out his bat at the ball. After arguing about 10 minutes, Frost called his players togethef, saying, "Let's go home, I can't take any more of this. If I stay here any longer I'll kill somebody or somebody'll kill me." Frost and the umpires had en gaged in minor rhubarbs all during the game, with the climax coming on the umpire's final decision In four innings Salter Path had fashioned a 10-0 lead with Walt Thomas pitching one-hit ball. Sal ter Path blew up in the bottom of the fourth, committing four errors, and playing poor baseball. Beaufort took the opportunity to club Thomas for four hits and when the inning was over Beaufort had scored seven runs. Prior to this inning Salter Path had executed three straight double plays. In the fifth Salter Path recover ed and soored three more tallies on three singles, a walk, and a field er's choice. Beaufort bounced back with two scores of its own, capped by Carl Sadler's double. Two tallieb in the sixth for Beau fort, before being erased by Salter Path's fourth DP of the game, gave the home team a two-run deficit, 11-13. A home run by Lewis Woodard with Jim Holland on base tied the 'game 13-13 at the end of seven frames. Woodard poked a low-hang ing drive along the rightfield line that curved into the woods and was lost. Rhubarb Develops A rhubarb developed at this ; point with Salter Path claiming the ball was foul, but the umpire ruled it fair and okayed the homer and the resulting scores. A fielder's choice, a walk, and a hit batsman loaded the bases for Salter Path in the eighth. George Lewis was a victim of a force out and Jerry Pittman fanned, bringing Diebert to the plate. Parkins, who had replaced Clyde Owens at the start of the sixth, got two strikes on Diebert before Wil lis, on third, started his dash for home. When he did, it broke up the game.

Die-Hards Fade Away -- in Shorts! By JKRKY SCHUMACHER Have you ever heard a fellow when bragging about women? "No Sir" he says. "I love 'em and leave 'em. I'll never be a sucker and get hitched." Thirty days later some chick leads him to the altar. Well, the same thing sort of hap pened to me. The first time 1 saw a man (?) wearing Knglish walking shorts I whooped, and went on record to say that, "No one will ever see me in a pair! No Sir, them's for limber wristed boys, but not for me." So what happens? Pretty soon some friend of mine shows up i with a pair and this guy, being anything but a sissy, I am sort of easy on my criticizing, and then a little later several other guys, real he-men too, come out with them. But. I am still the "die hard." My Glamour Gal tried every wile she knew, and believe me, she knows plenty, to get me to just ? try a pair on. Nope, not me. I had all kinds of excuses; my knees are too knobby, the mosquitoes would eat me alive, ctc., etc. Well anyway, dear reader, you guessed it. 1 now have a pair. Be tween Sonny Geer and Mac McCuis ton it happened this way. Was at the golf course and broth I er it was hot. Sonny had his shorts on and 1 was roasting, so Mack said, "Jerry, don't be so stubborn. Here, try on a pair." Thought to stop them with, "You don't have my size, also I don't have any money." Well, they , found my size allright, and Mack | sold them to me on credit, and I also the fact that there wasn't a j mirror at the golf shop, I tried a ! pair on. Comfort is an inadequate word. I They are so bloomin' comfortable. I wouldn't blame a guy forgoing to bed with them on. So, dear reader, I am hooked, and if you see me up town wearing walking shorts, please spare me and don't whistle too loudly. Wish I had the chap that invent ed "outdoor" motors here. I would like to have his neck where my hammy hands could do the most good. I've got a stern motor that I want to sell. Sure enough, here comet a chap from New York with cash money, "yankee money" too. So, he Ukes my motor, but he wants to try It out on his boat. Well, you know f^iat happened. Alter struggling to get the mon ster on the boat, then wrestling the boat overboard, came the great mo ment. Grabbed the starting rope and gave a mighty heave and noth SMnHr{ Fliwifi? / * J"fL0BI9fS** m thi YELLOW PAGES ing happened. Four blisters and j one-hour later we gave up. So, 1 still have mv blankety blank "outdoor" motor, and my friend still has his folding money in his pants pocket. Some wit said "Hey Jerry, how tight do you have to wind that thing to get it to j run across the slew?" Funny thing is, it's a fine motor too! I don't believe that I ever bought anything in my whole life that I sold at a profit; sort of like a friend of mine named Jim Paddock from Marathon, Fla., who needed a pick up truek of a certain kind. Every car lot that lie went to had the same story, "They are very scarce and much in de mand now. Sorry, we don't have one." Forty-two used car lots later he finds one and pays top dollar for it. Two months later he gets in a "tight" and has to raise some ready cash, lie goes back to the same car lot and this is what they told him ''Sorry buddy, that type of pick up is a drug on the market. You're going to have to take a shcl lackin' if you want to sell now." j Pawn brokers are from the same mold. The article, when you are buying it, is "priceless and very rare." When selling it, "it's a drug on the market, Chum."
