Letters from Fans (Continued from Page 3) became his article reached so many more people. There has been some insinuation that dirty football was taught to the players. This I cannot believe ] do not believe that the Beaufort coach would do such a thing and 1 know it is not done at Morehead City. One little thing that hits me is the fact that the huddle that Morehead City players go into just before they go onto the field to ' start a game is not to get instruc tions from their coach, but this huddle is a huddle of prayer. Could dirty football be Uught un der those condition*? I look forward to the time when the two teams can get together in all sports with a sportsmanlike conduct and be Irienda on the field as well as off. Ernest Lewis FROlip NEW BERN New Bern, N. C.

WHY does the new car depreciate 40%? The salesman's coin mission, the dealer's discounts, the federal tax which does not add to the real value of the new car, but are added in the price the purchaser pays.

I have many cherished friends in both towns. Now, before I write further, let me make an explanation. 1 am not a native of Beaufort, nor a native of Morehead City, in fact, not even a native Tar Heel. 1 am a Dam yankee who came to your fair coun ty with no pre-formed or preju diced opinions of either town. That, mainly, is why 1 feel 1 see things clearly as far as the rivalry be tween the two towns is concerned. In your October 12 edition there appeared on page 3, section 1, an article "Keeping Score" by Rip Wilder. I personally feel this should have been titled, "Let's Sling Mud at Morehead" by Rip Wilder. I do not have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Wilder but I am willing to bet he lives in Beaufort. In his article Mr. Wilder did his utmost to picture the coach, the team and al^ residents of More head City as villains, thugs and all around poor sports. He painted a word picture of the Beaufort team as a group of inno cent players who barely defended themselves during the final quar ter, and only then, when they could no longer bear the rough treatment the Morehead players had poured upon them throughout the game. He failed to mention, however, that Beaufort was handed the first penalty in the game. Fifteen yards for illegal use of hands. (No doubt these innocent little fellows were merely dusting off the jerseys of the opposing team). Mr. Wilder also stated that Beau fort won while beaten because they showed they had learned to be good sportsmen. If they are such good sportsmen, then why weren't they courteous enough to attend the banquet prepared for them by the mothers of the Morehead team? From all accounts ONE Beaufort boy attended. (He came because he was dating a Morehead cheer leader). Next, Mr. Wilder tells us that the Beaufort players have taken a "Holicr-than-Thou" attitude and may not play against Morehead again. I am indeed surprised that such GOOD SPORTS do not meek ly turn the other cheek in hopes that their "Nasty" opponents will reform and play a clean, decent game next time. Believe me, I've seen both teams in action enough to know they both dish out as much as they take. There is only one statement in Mr. Wilder's article I agree with. YES, Jimmy Willis made a mistake in striking an official! BUT, did Mr. Wilder say this happened AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE BLEW? He did NOT! He led the un knowing reader to believe this happened just as soon as Jimmy was taken out of the i?ame. Neither did he explain WHY Jimmy was taken out. He pictured Jimmy as a rough, over-grown thug who threw caution to the winds in a blaze of anger. Jimmy actually is a wholesome, good natured kid who spent most of last year's foot ball season on the bench, due to an injury. He loves the game and plays as hard as any high school player I have ever seen. Naturally, he was upset when he was yanked out of the game for something he didn't do. Mr. Wilder blames all this -fric tion between the two schools on tales the "Old Timers" of More head keep cramming into the heads of their team. (I just can't help wondering what the "Old Timers" in Beaufort talk about come football season!) Having lived in both towns, I feel I have a citizen's eye-view of what goes on in the minds and learts of the populace of both places. Beaufort folks resent the fact that time and progress have by passed them and their town. They are envious of Morehead's smallest achievement. Kor example: three or four years ago the town of Morehead City had erected No Left Turn signs In the business district and on a very busy Saturday also had a po liceman out directing traffic. A well known resident of Beaufort remarked to me that "Morehead is suffering illusions of grandeur." Bless his heart, I wish he were here today to see Morehead's new traffic lights. Sometime in the future my fam ily may move back to Carteret County, but Heaven forbid our home ever be Beaufort again, un less the townspeople wake up anc' realize there would be much to be gained if they would try to co operate with their enterprising neighbors to the West. I think it's high time the resi dents of both towns realise it takes two to run a foot race, two teams to play a ball game. AND TWO ENEMIES TO START A FIGHT. And remember too, Beaufort, you have more to gain by being friend ly than Morehead has. They are willing, cant you try? An Interested ex-cittaen who would like la an Beaufort play Morehead again next rear JC PRESIDENT WHITES October IX. 1M4 To the Editor: In your recent article about the mullet bucket tilt played between Morehead City and Beaufort, it was in my opinion the wrong thing to say. especially when tension was already high. A word has already been aatd, 1 hop* a few more won't hurt. It la one thing for a newspaper to openly criticise a person or a and another thing to try to um iooijagi <d Morehead City Social News , I Mrs. Starr King Hostess To Tuesday Bridge CluL> The Tuesday Bridge Club met with Mrs. Starr King at her home this week. Mrs. Walter Morris and Mrs. Kenneth Wagner of Morehead were invited guests. Mrs. Wagner won the guest prize, stationery. Mrs Satnmie Williams won high score and Mrs Milton Morey won second high score. The low score was won by Mrs. Jimmy Wallace. The hostess served cherry chif fon pie and coffee. County Bridge League Winners Announced Seven tables were in play Mon clay night when the Carteret County Bridge League met at the More head City Recreation Center. North-south winners were first, Mrs. Alvah Hamilton, Mrs. J. S Steed: second, Mr. and Mrs. Al Dewey; third, John Pavone, L. R Powell. Blast-west winners were first, Mrs. Floyd Chadwick, Mrs. Don Martin; second, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Sutherland; third, Mrs. C. L. Beam. Mrs. Jack Wind ley. sand people in Morehead City and Beaufort. In your article: Keeping Score, you said, quote: "some Morehead City fans have told this writer that they were disgusted at the way their team played and were apolo getic for the boys Saturday morn ing," unquote. And in black print you stated, quote, "From the way it looks from here, however, no apologies will be accepted by Beau fort," unquote. I question, how can a newspaper speak the feelings of so many peo ple? As a private citizen I fail to be I lieve that my many friends in Beaufort would fail to accept an apology from me. should 1 ask Speaking of unsportsmanship, that would be the worst. I have always thought that a newspaper was a public servant. To help build moral and good will, not try to tear apart two towns that need each other so badly. Surely, Morehead City needs Beau fort, and, I hope that Beaufort needs Morehead City and its peo ple. Especially at a time when such vital things as the possibility of an Ocean Highway and many other things that will mean so much to the two towns. We need the help of everyone, ESPECIALLY THE PRESS. As you mentioned the possibility of Beaufort calling off the annual game between Morehead City and Beaufort, first, would it be fair to the players, our own boys, who love to play the game, and who might possibly receive a scholarship some day by having the opportunity to play in sports here at home. Sec ond, would it be fair to the many fans who enjoy these games each year. If the two teams should play once a month, there would always be the support of their home town folks, and would it be fair to the people, who have put in ?o many hours and dollars, to sponsor these two teams, and who depend so largely on the receipts of this an nual tilt. Even though there is rivalry, it is only natural. You will find the same thing any place where two towns nearby participate in sports. We are supposed to benefit by the mistakes of others. I believe both teams have learned a lesson from the incidents of the past game. Carteret County needs the press very badly to help publicize ' our natural resources. To help build a better place in which to live, but not the kind of press that was used in Carteret County last Tuesday.

He taid he wanted them to feel that :hey were a part of the team, whether they won or not, and he told of one child who had never played before, but struck out twice in the same game. t He said that boy was just as proud of having held the bat as he would have been had he hit a lome run, and maybe some time he would make a winning hit.
