???But.
? The Morefcead City backfiefjM
now without the services of Gerfty
Jones, is set at only two positio?s
Halfback James Guthrie and full
back Freddie Oglesby still know
wjiere they will start the season.
Jackie McQueen, slated for ac
tion at quarterback, saw himself
shifted to halfback and back to
quarterback during the week. Gary
Guthrie, last year's jayvee quar
terback, has been working out at
quarterback and hajfback.
Coach Norman Clark is reluc
tant to st?te his plans for the
backfield? even if he has made up
his mind, which is doubtful. Jimmy
Lawrence, a former halfback, has
moved to end and the coach is
pleased with the way he is hold
ing down that job and doesn't want
to move him.
Unf Not Set
The Eagle line is still not set
with the season opener only a week
away. The coach says that several
boys are looking pretty good and
he wants to give all of them a
fair cha#ce before rnaking up his
mjnfl.
The first gaipe of the season
will be against New Bern's Bears
at the New Bern field.
According to rqppris from the
Bear camp, four experienced play
ers will l*e starting in the back
field. Harold "Horpp" French.
Clifton Gentry and Cliff Rowe will
be teamed with the highly regard
ed Terry Mavlt#oy
Two Top Tackles
Two all - CQfllerwice tackles,
"Tank" McLawhorp and Buzzy '
Uolton, a re considered the top men
in a strong line. Donald Lamb, a
capable receiver, will hold down
left end and letterman Tom Saw
yer wijl start at Uie other end.
The middle of the New Bern line
is not definitely set, according to
Coach Sam 4rbes
Eagle fans who make the trip
Jo New Bern will want to keep an
eye on the battle of the lines.
When Lynwood Durham, More
head City's candidate for all-state
honors, plows into "the Tank"
something is goiog to give ?
chances are that it won't be Dur
ham.
Despite the difference in the size
of the two schools, the Eagles are
Qot being undersold by the Bears.
Coach Clark says he will be happy
if the ?agles get through the game
without a serious injury but from
the gleam in his eye you can tell
he has a surprise wailing for New

Seadog Practice Sessions
Teach Basic Grid Skills
Coach V. M. Morrison, faced*
with the task of building a winning
team from inexperienced players,
has started at the very beginning.
Beaufort gridders are learning how
to tell what a play will be by hear
ing its nui.;ber and are discover
ing what types of plays are beat
for a given situation.
The coach drills the boys con
stantly on hlocking assignments
for the various defenses they may
come up against this year. He
shows them how nearly all plays
are designed to pick up consider
able yardage or go all the way?
if the blocking assignments are
carried out properly.
Work io Gym
The Seadogs, working out in the
gym because of the weather, are
learning more and more about the
fundamentals of football. Coach
Morrison says that a thorough un
derstanding of his assignment is
necessary if a boy is to do his
best on the field during a game.
Most of the boys on the squad
were in good condition before prac
tice opened but the coach is still
anxious to get back on the field
for some contact practice.
Very few players, if any, are
definitely set in their positions.
Pud Hassell seems to have things
under control at the quarterback
slot. John Smith, a letterman from
last year, has a tackle berth sewed
up and Gordon Becton and Calvin
Jones, also lettermen, are set at
the ends.
Lonnie DilJ has been working
out at center but Dallas Willis,
last year's starter at that position,
will porbably take over when he
gets home from Florida.
Big Problem
The backfield poses a big prob
lem for Coach Morrison, who is
working with several boys in hopes
of turning up with the right com
bination. Ernest House has looked
pretty good at fullback but the
halfback slots are as wide open as
they were the first day of prac
tice.
The Seadogs will open their sea

The club plans to have a new con
cession stand on the south side of
the field by the first home game

tion of restrooms at the field. This
is expected to cost $1,000. The roof
and siding material has been do
nated by Fry Roofing Co. to cut
the cost of putting up the building
The Morehead City - Beaufort
Elks lodge put $100 in the fund
and the Touchdown Club donated

amounting to $40 had been re
cejved.
