Eagles Crush Lejeune In Conference Tilt ? By RIP WILDER A new star flared across the Morehead City gridiron Monday night as unheralded junior halfback Walter Willis scored three touchdowns on blistering runs in the Eagles' '68-0 bombardment of Camp Lejeune. Morehead City's Eagles proved that they are probably the class of the Seashore Conference as they ground out their victory on the Devilpups. The< Eagles have only one conference game left on their slate and that's a tilt with Pamlico. If Morehead City dumps Pamlico they can tuck the conference championship in their hip pocket and go hunting for higher laurels. Six different players got in ihe scoring act against Lejeune but it! was 145-pound Walter Willis who captured the fans' fancy with runs of 70. 28, and 22 yards. Willis's 28-yard run carried him to the one yard line and he bucked over on the next play. Coach Cleans Bench Coach Norman Clark swept his bench of substitutes but even his reserves couldn't be held down and rolled up three touchdowns of their own. Bobby Willis shifted the scoring machine in motion as he skirted end for the first Morehead City score on the seventh play of the game. Norman Larkee, standing in po sition to kick the extra point, passed instead to Jiggs Griffin and the Eagles were on their way with a 7-0 lead. Morehead City had gain ed possession of the ball on the second play of the game as they recovered a Camp Lejeune fumble. Camp Lejeune took the ensuing kickoff but found the staunch Morehead City line too much for them and punted. Norman Larkee took the punt and zig zagged his way to the 50. Larkee Reverses Field On the next play Larkee started out to his right, was hemmed in, completely reversed his field and went 25 yards around the left side of the line after picking up some Smashed-Up Cars Made "Like New" Takes WREXPERTS to re store that ol' "dreamboat dash" to any car that's been in a crash.

Bobby Willis lofted a pass to O'Neal on the 40 but two more passes fell incomplete and More head City punted to the Devilpup 48. Bobby Willis grabbed a pass out of the hands of a Lejeune man and danced to the Lejeune 38. Larkee picked up a first down around end.

Waltzing Walter charged over on the next play for the first of his three touchdowns. Wickizer went over with the ex tra point and the Eagles led 21-0. Morehead City recovered a fum ble and Camp Lejeune was penal ized to the 1-foot line where Bobby Willis passed to Larkee for the score. The extra point try was no good and the Eagles had their 27-0 halftime margin. Walter Rides Again On the second half kickoff Wal ter Willis took the ball on the 30. headed for the center of the field, slid through a tiny opening and outran two Camp Lejeune players in an electrifying 70-yard touch down sprint. The extra point was no Mtet led, 33-0. first first down of the game with a pass to Baker on the Morehead City 45. Wickizer Tallies Bobby Willis intercepted a pass on the following play and scatted to the Camp Lejeune 30 before be ing brought down. Walter Willis raced to the 18 on a reverse and Wickizer went over from there on a spinner play. Larkee kicked the extra point for the 40-0 mark. Lejeune fumbled the next kick off and the alert Eagles pounced on it at the Devilpup 22. Bobby Willis connected with Griffin on a pass and Griffin flipped out to Walter Willis who zoomed 18 yards to his third touch down of the night. The extra point try by Larkee was blocked. Coach Clark sent in complete new teams in an effort to even the contest but there was no stopping the Morehead City lads.

Morehead City Faces Hard Test At Washington Morehead City's Eagles have spent the past week girding them selves for what probably will be the roughest two weeks on their schedule. % This afternoon the Eagles will do battle with the strong Washing ton team there and will be faced with a trip to Wallace next week. The Eagles will be looking for revenge in both of the games. Washington and Wallace were the two teams that kept Morehead City from an undefeated season last year. Morehead City was rocking along on a six-game winning streak last year when they ran up against the Wallace team and were turned back 32-0. Two weeks later Wal lace handed them their second defeat of the year by a 20-6 count. The Eagles warmed up for their Washington tilt with a 58-0 blast over Camp Lejeune and came out of the game without any serious injuries. Jerry Conner and Tony Seamon did not dress for the Le jeune game and may be ready for action today although both boys are still on the question list as - far as starting performances are concerned. j Coach Clark showed that he has t depth as well as a superior first ] team in the game with Lejeune as s his second and third teams rolled to three of the team's nine touch downs.
