Beaufort, Eagles Squeeze Wins on Eve of Big Tilt Morehead City Scores Late to Nip Jones , 12-7 Jerry Lewis recovered a fumble and Norman Larkee got" off a 30-yard run Friday night to snatch a victory from Jones Central's Rockets and hand it to Morehead City's Eagles in the final two minutes of the game. The Eagles won, 12-7. The Eagles had run up a 6-0 firsts quarter lead on Bobby Willis's quarterback plunge, which also was set up by a Larkee run, but alter that they bogged down for two quarters. A little 133-pound back named Lawrence Brooks ran a punt back 60 yards to score lor the Rockets on the second play of the lourth quarter, tying the score at 6-6. Jer ry Kerns untied the score with his extra point place which skimmed over the bar and put Jones Central ahead 7-6. Eagles Are Stymied Morehead City reached down deep in their bag of tricks but couldn't muster enough push to get them in scoring position. The clock was running and the Morehead City fans were howling. The olficials told the coaches that there were four minutes left in the ball game and Eagle fans howled louder. Then Jones Central made a mis take. With the ball on the Rockets' 40-yard line they fumbled a pitch out and Jerry Lewis was on the ball like a duck on a june bug. The Eagles didn't score but they managed to push the Rockets back into their own territory as they moved the ball to the Jones Central 32. They lost the ball on downs. Mcintosh Stops Kerns Mcintosh threw Kerns, for a loss back to the 30 after the Rockets picked up a first down on the 42. Brown punted to the Morehead City 42. On the first play from there, Lar kee went off his tackle on the left side of the line and headed for the sidelines. The play had the Rockets baffled for a moment but it was long enough to allow Larkee to scamper 30 yards to the Jones Cen tral 22. O'Neal Goes to One A wild man named Jerry Connor scrapped his way to the 17 on a 5 varder and Wickizer moved to the 13. Flying Danny O'Neal danced to a first dofcn on the i-yard Kne. The Morehead stands went wild. There was about one minute and 30 seconds left in the ball game. Bobby Willis tried skirting the end for the tally but the Rocket end wouldn't be skirted. Willis was dropped at the line of scrimmage and there was about a minute and 10 seconds left in the game. Eagle fans moaned. B. Willis Scores Again Bobby Willis tried for the marker. He took the snap from center and bulled across the goal line on a quarterback sneak and Morehead City had their margin of victory, 12-7. The Eagles tried to run the extra point across but the play failed. Wickizer kicked off for the Eagles and Kerns ran it back to the Jones Central 36. Jones Central tried two despera tion passes, both of which fell in complete. Kerns faded back for a third pass for the Rockets. Tony Seamon smashed through the line and trapped him behind the line of scrimmage and threw him for a 10 yard loss on the last play of the game. Larkee Net* 80 Larkee went on a running lark for a night and gained 80 yards of Morehead City's 144 total rushing yards. "Baby" Wickizer, who ran like an all-American last week, picked up only 13 yards against Jones Central and was the weak est ground-gainer on the squad. However, he turned in a brilliant ir defensive game from a tackle spot which he filled in at times. Bobby Willis's passing was sharp during the night and he hit on 5 completions in 8 tries. The Rockets faltered in the air with only one completion in 8 throws. The Eagles had 10 first downs to 4 for the Rockets. Jimmy Willis, end, Tony Seamon, guard, Bradley Mcintosh, center, Jerry Lewis, tackle, and back Kemp Wickiier all figured in the Eagles' defensive play. Willia, Wickiier, and Lewis were credited with five individual tackles while Seamon got six and Mcintosh and Buddy Midgett had four tackiea apiece. Their defensive play held the Rockets to 20 yards gained on the ground . Fishing is 'Fair' Over Weekend Fishing along the piers and out side was mediocre this weekend as fishermen reported only spotty catches. Reports from Nelson's Fishing Pier say fishing was good Saturday with blues and mackerel being taken, but Sunday the fishing was off. The Triple-Ess pier had poor fishing all weekend while Friday was a big day at Harkers Lodge. Big catches of spanish mackerel were boated around the cape shoals. However, Saturday and Sunday the fishing slacked off. At Fleming's Fishing Pier trout, spot, drum and a few sheephcad were taken Saturday morning. Fishing in the Gulf Stream was only fair Saturday and Sunday with a few king mackerel and red snap per being caught.

Although King Football is currently monopolizing the sports spotlight around the na tion, basketball is making itself known here at this Marine Corps Air Station. Over 100 hopefuls answered the first call-out for the Post and Sta tion basketball team last week Second Lieutenant Samuel Con vissor, newly-appointed head coach to the 1954-55 team, has been run ning the men through drills and workouts each week night in the Station Drill Hall. He expects to bear down to serious work starting next week. Convissor has only two veterans of last year's campaign returning. Mike Ellovich and Joe Reed were both members of the 1953-54 team, but saw limited action. They were overshadowed by such greats as All-Marine John Spanhauer, Bogey Thompson, Heywood Buffaloe and Moose Meyers, all of whom have been released from active duty. Reed scored 18 points last sea son. on nine field shots, and El lovich racked up 55 points on 27 field shots and one charity toss. Ellovich racked up 55 points on 27 field shots and one charity toss. Ellovich will probably aid Con vissor's defensive setup nicely with his 6'3" frame. The coming season's schedule has not, as yet, been completed and will probably not be disclosed for a few weeks. The opening game will be played around mid-Novem ber. In the Jaycee Spotlight Danny O'Neal, 165-pound junior back, left, and Jimmy Willis, senior end, were two of the boys who Morehead City Coach Norman Clark pointed out as having turned in good performances against Jones Central Friday night. O'Neal had a heavy hand in the offen sive punch of the Eagles as he turned in a 15-yard sprint in the last minute of the ball game to set up Morehead City's winning touchdown which gave them their 12-7 win. Jimmy Willis, a 185 pounder, snagged several passes and turned in a sterling defensive game. Tigers Score in Last Half to Trip Knights, 13-0 ? Daniels Defeats Dunn in Tourney L. B.

Comet Caroline Combines Speed and Driving Power By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN Chicago (AP) ? As a sophomore, J. C. Caroline became the most sensational football player since Red Grange. His explanation : "I just run." University of Illinois coaches believe he will run as well, or better, this season as a junior. They realize, however, that the spindly-legged Negro naiioacK, is on ine spot, in every' game he plays, he will be a marked man. Honotbnous hours of strategic planning will be consumed with one thought in mind: Stop Caroline and you may stop Illinois. Caroline's records? A Western Conference rushing mark of 919 yards in six league games (old record, 774, in seven by Wiscon sin's Alan Ameche in 1951) Univer sity all - game high for rushing of l,29fl yards (old record. 829 by Buddy Young in 1944); University record for total offense ? rush ing, pass receiving, punt returns, kickoff returns ? 1,070 yards (old record, 1,260 by Grange in 1923). What makes Caroline click? Is he really better than Grange? Grange's old coach, Bob Zuppke, says: "They were entirely different types. Grange was the epitome of smoothness and grace. He bad wonderful speed, could do the 100 in 10 seconds. It was hard for a tackier to lay a hand on him. "Caroline can do some things better than Grange. He can go in alde better because he has power to go with his speed and elusive ness. "He has hidden atrength. When hit, he hat more power than Grange, who came down easily "Grange was great. Caroline be longs with the very great onea, too. What amazes me most about him la how he can work ao much, drive ao hard and, never be hurt the alightest" It was sheer luck that Illinois ever got Caroline. He waa strictly unsolicited, and even when he came up north to the Champaign campua from hia Columbia, S. C., home, an Injury in apring practice all but kept him covered np. Coach Ray Eliot actually didn't kaow how good he waa until Sep tember of 1993 rolled around and the football aeaaon opened. Caroline, ft-1, 180-pounder, waa atraaaallned from the start when hia parent! gave him Inltiala in stead of a first name. And one of hia beat ground-gaining feata was e*wta? the BOO mile, from Co . '? ' ? - J. C. Caroline lumbia to the Illinois campus. J. C. simply knew that he couldn't go to a southern non Negro university .and play ball. He had to turn elsewhere and the se lection of a college virtually be came a community project In Co lumbia, headed by his Booker T. Washington high school coach. John McHugh. "I leaned towards Illinois." Mi Jlugh saya. "I always admired Buddy Young? I had met him at a high school track meet ? and followed his career through Illin ois. I like the way Eliot handled his team, especially In the Rose Bowl. "I phoned Eliot. He wanted to aee Caroline's scholastic record be fore anything was done. He was always a good student so there was no trouble there. Eliot said he would be welcomed and told me bow the boy would be treated." id U 4 "* !?' ti A powerful Dillard High School Tiger team from Goldsboro had to bring out their sharpest claws to fight off an inspired Queen Street team before winning 13-0 with two second half touchdowns. The Knights couldn't manage much of an offensive punch during the night in Goldsboro but during the. first half, they played outstand ing defensive ball. Their first half defensive play was featured by a goal line stand on their own 5-yard line. The Tigers had pushed the Knights back to the 5 but when the Queen Street team felt the goal at their back they stiffened and held the Tigers, taking possession of the ball on downs. The defensive play was sparked by guard Robert Cox and tackle William Jordan. Tied at 0-0 The halftime score was tied at 0-0. In the third quarter, the Tigers came back and took advantage of a Queen Street fumble on the Knights' 5-yard line. Dillard re covered and fullback Smith plunged over from there for the touchdown. Tiger halfback Johnson tallied again for the winners in the fourth quarter on a double reverse from the 15-yard line. Gained 67 Yards Clyde Crooms, Knights' quarter back, was about the best thing Queen Street could offer in the way of an offensive threat for the night. Crooms got the majority of the 67 yards Queen Street gained. The Tigers rolled up 155 yards on the ground and threw 26 passes, 10 of which were complete. The Knights threw 5 times and hit on 3. The Knights were hurt by fumbles as they fumbled 4 times and lost 3 of them. Queen Street's only threat came in the fourth quarter when Crooms hit Romelle Ward with a 20-yard pass on the 20 but the threat was cut short by a clipping penalty. Knight tackle William Johnson intercepted a Tiger pass and ran 40 yards before being brought down but the Knights couldn't take ad vantage of the break. The Tigers garnered seven first downs to three for the Knights. Science Helps Iowa Hunters, Fishermen DCS Moines. (AP) ?
