Gerald Jones Declared Ineligible for 1958 Season Eagle Chances for Title Fade with Loss of Star Morehead City's chances of repeating as AA-C foot ball champs this year got a severe jolt Saturday when halfback Gerald Jones was declared ineligible to play this | year. According to principal Lenwood Lee, Jones, a ris- ; ing senior, has been found to be over-age for participation < ? in high school athletic contests. Jones has been selected by his teammates as the out standing player on the Eagle squad* fur the past twe seasons. In his two years as first string halfback, he has scored 244 points. The classy scoring ace was all , conference in both his sophomore and junior years. Last year, as a junior, he was mentioned for all state honors. t Coach Norman Clark declares 2 that Jones is one of the most gifted i backs he has ever coached. "Jones was a great defensive man as well as a hard runner," the coach said 1} "It seemed like he was in on half the tackles that were made." Outstanding Run Jones' run for 75 yards and a 1 touchdown against Massey Hill in j the state play-offs was pointed out [ by the coach as being the best in dividual effort he had ever seen. "I played on the same high I school team with Glen Davis, twice All-Amcrican, and I never saw him make a run that was as great as the one Gerald made against Massey Hill," Coach Clark stated. There seems to be no chance for a reversal of the ruling. Rule Stated The rule states that no player may be approved whose birthdate ? was before April 1, 1939. Jones was born Nov. 25, 1938. A player who reaches his 20th birthday prior to April 1 of any school year is not allowed to play during that year according to NC High School Ath letic Association and State Depart ment of Public Instruction Regula tions. No exceptions have been or will be permitted according 'to Frank Mock of Kinston, president of the NC1ISAA; L. J. Perry, executive secretary of the NCHSAA; and Dr. J. L. Pierce, consultant in health and physical education of the State Department of Public In struction in Raleigh. All of these officials have been appealed to by Principal Lee in an attempt to secure a special ruling as a hardship case since Jones' ? failure in grades 2 and 3 some eigfit years ago accounts for the fact of his being 20 years of age before graduation. His high school record has been good and every other eligibility requirement is fully met. With Jones out of the picture, Coach Clark will have to go along with an inexperienced player at one of the halfback positions. The Eagles were expecting to have a great backfield with Jones, James Guthrie, Freddie Oglesby and Jackie McQueen in starting roles. Tube Broken Beaufort's mosquito spraying machine is in Raleigh for repairs. Dan Walker, town clerk, said "a tube" on it was broken. It is ex pected to be back in use soon. BEEFEATER wg sn Gerald Jones . . . ruled Ineligible Knights Begin Grid Training By JAMES PETTEWAY The Queen Street Knights began their football training program last week with 30 players reporting for practice. Coach S. H. Barrow says that he has never seen a group of boys so enthusiastic and eager to become great football players. | The coach has a problem in fill ing the positions of nine players , who graduated last year. Several { of last year's substitutes, however, , have grown in the past year and j with the experience they gained last season are ready to step up to | starting positions. The Knights, runners-up to Cha pei JULior the eastern AA cham pionship for the past two years, | are eager to take the title this . year.

Trick Golf Exhibition Attracts Good Crowd The Chuck and Linda Lewis trick golf exhibition at the Morehead City Country Club Saturday drew a good crowd, including golf fans and visitors for the club open iousc which was conducted the same day.

Appearing in Sport Illustrated, which came out yesterday, is a picture of the blue marlin caught by Mrs. Vernon Rudolph off More head City in June. Mrs. Rudolph is from Winston-Salem. She and her husband were fishing aboard Capt. Hubert Fulcher's Blue Wa ter. The picture was taken by Bob Simpson of Fabulous Fishermen. Fishermen Land Two New Record Fish in Contest By BOB SIMPSON The fishing outlook continues to be more hopeful, with some good catches of kings reported, and two long-standing records broken. Fri day Mary Z came in with 16 kings; Dolphin III, 14; Sea Raven, 19; and Gulf Breeze, 18. Two records: a 474-pound grouper by Fred Wilkins of Dur ham, aboard Danco, broke the 33-pound record held by another Danco angler. A 41-pound 3-ounce king mackerel by George K. Shield, Lynchburg, Va? aboard Bunny Too, upset the 34-pound record. The re-apprarance of blue mar tin in numbers has put the gleam back in the eyes of many skippers: two were hooked Friday aboard Dolphin, 4 more hooked Saturday; rough seas Sunday hindered mar tin fishing attempts. Blues are a favorite now from the ocean piers, with plenty of spots, sea mulelt, pompano, a fair start on flounder and trout. On the sound side, sheepshead, gray trout and black drum at the bridges, croakers and spots for the bottom fisherman, and flounder for the drift fisherman off the Port and Ft Macon. Headboat fishermen continue to make eicellent catches of sea bass and porgies, plus some red snappers. The Fabulous Fishermen's Fishy Talc contest, initiated last year during the Centennial, will get un der way Sept. 1 and end Nov. 1, giving ample time for all yarn ?pinners to recall or dream up tall stories. First prize is a Garcia Abo spinning reel with glass rod; the reel was sent to the Fabulous Fishermen by Dick Wolff of the Garcia Company, and the rod by Atlantic Tackle Company. Not to be confused with tali stories are these true talcs of fish ermen's luck: a California fisher man ran out of worms, had no luck with processed cheese, finally tried green trading stamps, caught a trout, 7 bass and 2 blucgills. Then there was the unem ployed Baltimore longshoreman who caught Diamond Jim III In the Chesapeake; the tagged striped bass, released In the Bay as part of a brewery promotion scheme, was worth )25,000; one time that it paid well to be un employed. The latest word from Henry Holt at Rainbow Inn U that his newly - acquired inshore boat, named Laura, for Mrs. Holt, will be ready for fishing trips by the weekend. Some good inshore catch es were reported during the past weekend, with more than the usual number of Spanish mackerel. Local fishermen: Purcell Jones, assistant director of Camp More head, surf fishing with G. 8. and Herbert Best of Warsaw, caught 349 blues, *4 to one pound each, and 18 floander; they were using live bait, mostly minnows. Rose Daniels, Beth Taylor, Rc nce Kemp, Helen Carlton and Bob bie Oglesby caught 94 mixed fish aboard Jack Piper VII. T. C. Hy man Jr., aboard Owen Dail'a Lit tle Snapper, caught 25 Spanish mackerel. Mike Parker caught a 16-pound amberjack, 32 sea bass, 3 por gies and 2 triggers from Caro lina Queen. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Arudt reported 17 blues (and still fishing when the report was made) from Sportsman Pier. Teen- Age League Official Gives Summary of First Season's Work By FRANK CASSIANO The Morehead City Teen-Age Hague's first season has been a luccessful one from the standpoint if boy participation and commun ty interest These lads have come i long way since they first fell rnt for practice and selection to he teams. Their conduct both off and on he field reflects good leadership in the part of their managers, loseph Nolan of the Lions and R. 3. Harrell of the Rotarians. It is hoped that the coming sea ion will field at least two more earns, and that adult interest in ?th the spectator field and that if supervision and assistance will >e increased. League Has Party The boys enthusiastically en lorsed participation in the next icason at the closing get together it the Little League Field where he mothers of several of the play :rs served hot dogs, ice cream ind soft drinks. The season is ended, and if you lid not see at least one of the tames, you missed a great deal. 4ext year will be better than ever, liough. and we have a feeling that rou'll Join the boys for an eve ling's pleasure from time to time. The Teen-Age All-Starr played be lr last game of the aeason last Sunday afternoon. They played loat to the Camp Morehead Camp srs, coached by Pureed Jones. The fame was called in the top of the lixth due to rain. Each team had collected five hits and three runs, not counting the two that Morehead had put back to back in the top of the sixth. Morehead collected three hita in the top of the first without scoring a run. Sanderson led off with i (ingle to right, but was cut down trying to steal second. After Nolan flied to right, Canfield went down swing ing for two outs. Gary Guthrie then singled sharply to left, and moved to third on Pospisil's single through the middle. Pospisil was then caught stealing to end the inning without a score. Morehead started the scoring in the second inning when Leary opened with a line single to cen ter, moved to third on Huston's single to right and scored on a Fly to center by Mizzle. Campers Take Lead Camp Morehead moved in front i by a 3 to 1 count in the bottom of the third inung Kemp opened by strolling to first and going to second while Rasmussen was being thrown out at first on a sacrifice. Wilson scored Kemp with a sharp single to right and he scored in front of Grinnan who -clouted a home run to left field. The inning came to an end when Hunter sin gled to right but was thrown out by Sledge trying to stretch it into two bases. Morehead tied it up without benefit of a hit when Rasmussen temporarily lost control and walked two men. Pospisil com pounded the felony by getting on on ? mlacue by the Campers sec ond sackcr, and the two runs scored is Glover and McQueen were grounding out on slow rollers to the Infield which left no play but first base. The only error In the entire game was a costly one since as it turned out, the sccond run would have died on third base, and the Campers could have evened up the series. However, it didn't turn out that way, and the scries now stands at one victory for More head and a tie. Beaufort Bows The day before, the All-Stars de feated Beaufort by a 20-2 score. The victory evened the Beaufort Morehcad series at one win and one loss each. Morehead, led by left fielder Nolan, who had three hits in four trips to the plate, clobbered five different pitchers for eighteen hits and twenty runs, and it just seemed to be showering baseballs. Seven hits were of the extra base variety, with the big blow being supplied by Norman Can field who finally found out why he was getting no power into his bat. Norman led off the Inning with a homerun over the center field wall 310 feet away. Little Danny McQueen had a double in his only trip to the plate, but was thrown out trying to steal home. Ernest Lewis went the route for Morehead City, allowing but three hits and two runs, one of them unearned. He collected two hits fat four trips to help his own cause. Elks Lodge Votes $100 Gifts To High School Grid Teams The Morehead City - Beaufort -4 Elks lodge has voted to give both the Morehead City and Beaufort football teams gifts of $100. The Elks say they want to get the ball rolling and hope that other civic organizations join in supporting the two teams. The Elks are always generous in helping support youth activities. The lodge sponsors Little League teams in both towns and is a regu lar contributor to Boy Scout drives. Last year the Elks sponsored a party for the members of all bas ketball players, boy and girl, from both school*, along with their coaches and school officials. This is the first year that the E!ks have made cash gifts to the football teams. Members of the lodge brought the matter up at a business meeting, saying that both teams needed financial support this year. The entire membership went along with the proposed gifts and gave the lodge treasurer authority to make out the checks for presen tation this week. Generators Obtained Dan Walker, Beaufort town clerk, announced Saturday that the town has received tv. ?? more generators through the surplus property divi sion, Raleigh. The- town already has one generator. After they are reconditioned, they will be avail able for generating power in case of an emergency.

Weather over the weekend was an entirely different picture from the one above. Showers Saturday night and Sunday cooled things off temporarily but made the weather more humid than ever when the sun came out again.
