All County High Schools To Field Baseball Teams TtM Atlantic Pirates, defending' , county baseball champions, will have a tough row to hoe this sea son. All Hve county schools plan to field teams and all have hopes (or a county title. Last year only Atlantic, More , head City and Smyrna participated ' in the spring sport. Newport and Beaufort sponsored field and track teams. At Newport, Coach Bob King will call bis first practice sessions next week. The llawks will have few if any experienced players since they did not have a team last year. Good Material There is some good material at 1 ' Newport and the Hawks are ex pected to gVin polish as the season progresses. Coach Norman Clark baa already begun practice at Morehead City. The Eagles have practically tbe lame team as last year plus some good freshman prospects. Hugh Gordon will be at the helm of the Beaufort nine. He says there is a wealth of material in the Sea i dog roeter. He figures that tbe Sea dogs will be tough to handle despite their lack of experience. A group of scrappy freshmen will nove into the Smyrna baseball roster to give tbe Blue Devils a fighting team that may surprise some of the fans around the county. Need Experience Coach Norman Chadwick has prospects of getting 9ome of the best pitching in tbe county from a couple of youngsters who may de , velop in a hurry once they get ' some experience under their belts. Atlantic Coach Roy Cockerham is looking desperately for a pitcher to fill the shoes of his ace. Butch Saunders, who was the top mounds man in the county last' year. Baseball players get an early start in Atlantic, though, and some of the freshmen going out for the > squad may be the answer to the ' roach's prayers. From all sides it seems that baseball is making a determined comeback in the county. Potential major leaguers are usually first spotted in high school ball, so this may be the year that some county boy gets his chance to move Into the money. It ii true enough that many fel lows who play for tbe smaller tchoolj will never be ballplayers, but competitive sports teach les ' sons that can be learned nowhere else. M it. 0. R.

They say now that they are going to advertise for a new foot- 1 ball coach. The Jaycees sponsor high school football. Coach Gordon submitted his resignation March 4 at a special meeting at the school with the Jaycees. The meeting was called by B. E. Tarkington, principal. Gordon said he felt he was forced to resign because the Jaycees had promised the job as head football coach to the assistant coach, David Lee. There have been conflicting re ports on the alleged agreement with Lee as to his becoming head football coach next year. James Steed, co-chairman of the Jaycee football committee, said that he did not know of such an agreement. Ronald Earl Mason, former chairman of the football commit tee, who has since resigned from the Jaycees, said that an agree ment had been made with Lee to come to Beaufort as assistant coach in 1957 and then this coming year, 1958-59, he would become head coach. Coach Gordon was not officially informed of this agreement. Lee's story is that he was of fered the head coaching job but has not accepted it. "I came to Beaufort because Mr. Tarkington guaranteed me a class to teach when I graduated from college," Lee says. Lee was added to the Beaufort faculty in January when he fin ished at East Carolina College, lie took the teaching position tempo rarily filled by Mrs. Odell Merrill until his college training would be finished. Lee played football in college I and was offered a playing position with the Forty-Niners at San Fran cisco. He was turned down because of a knee injury. He has also been assistant football coach at Morehead City High School. Lee is married to the former Kay Lewis of Beaufort. Gordon has been football coach since 1954. Mr. Tarkington says that Gordon will be retained on the faculty.
