Grid Season to Open Friday Night Morehead to Invade Lair Of New Bern High Bears The Morehead City Eagles will travel to New Bern Fri day night to meet the strong New Bern Bears in a non conference tilt. Even though the Eagles will be playing a straight AA school, Morehead City fans are expecting a good game and a possible victory for their Eagles. At present the Eagle backfield seems tp be set with Fall Mullet Run Begins; Good Fishing Ahead By BOB SIMPSON Since last week's wet nor'easter, fishing has been very fast on the pick-up. In (act, it didn't stop com pletely. During the wind and rain Earl Latham of Cary came by to tell us he'd caught a 7-pound 5 ounce shecpshead out at Thomp son's and gray trout fishermen around Newport River bridge had good catches. We asked Sam Ballou if he had a fishing report; "Nothing but a big school of mullet going out the inlet," was his answer. A newcomer to the beach described large schools of snub-nosed fish cruising along the shore. Those, we informed him proudly, are mullet. Has anyone else noticed that the new atomic sub designs are mullet-shaped? Evidence of the great improve ment in fishing was brought in by Salty, with 32 dolphin; Mary Z. with 9 dolphin, 6 kings, 20 false albacore and a couple of Spanish; Bunny Too, with 22 dolphin, S cobia (two of them at 38 and 45 pounds). 14 (alse albacore, 2 kings, 2 Spanish and 3 ambcrjack. Joy II and Mattie G, on a Joint charter, with a total of 23 dol phin, one false albacore, 3 Span ish, 2 kings and 3 ambcrjack; Ho-Hum, with 21 dolphin, 6 false albacore and a king; Shearwa ter, with 11 false albacore, < kings, a dolphin and an amber Jack. Henry Holt's new inshore boat Laura got of( to a good start with 25 blues. Other inshore catches: Theodore's Sylvia, 25 blues and Spanish; Edna, a fair catch of blues and Spanish; Tommy Lulu, 12 bhics; Sandy, 43 blues; Johnny's Sylvia, 16 blues, a 'jack and 4 kings. At Edgewater Marina Mr. Montgomery of Durham reported 23 blues; at Sonny's Fishing Sta tion Paul Taylor of Gales Creek reported 13 blues. Hcadboat fishing was good dur ing the weekend. Frank Collins and Lee Goodwin of Franklinton caught SO pounds of mixed fish aboard Danco. Except for bottom fish, things are a little slow right now for the inshore piers, but skiff fishermen are doing well with gray trout and flounder. We've also had reports of good catches of pom pano in the surf. Blaefishing is top-notch from 'Freddie Oglesby at fullback, James Guthrie and Gary Guthrie at half back! and Jackie McQueen at quarterback. There is a possibility that McQueen and Gary Guthrie will switch positions before the game. On the line the Eagles arc any thing but set. The right side of the forward wall will have James Leigh at guard and Lynwood Dur ham at tackle. Gary Walters and Johnny Baker are the strongest candidates for right end. Mokcy Lasitter is set at center and Jimmy Lawrence seems to have left end sewed up. Left guard and tackle positions arc still wide open. Leslie Nelson and Ira Guth rie are strong candidates for the two openings, but neither is as sured of a starting berth. Coach Norman Clark points out that most of his players are inex perienced. Some men out for their first time are fighting for starting positions when they should be play ing junior varsity to gain experi ence before even joining the varsi ty. The Bears, on the other hand, have a big. experienced team with a good passing attack and a power ful ground game. The Bear line, built around two all-conference tackles, is reported to He mighty stingy in giving up yardage. The Bears, who dropped a game with Wilmington in order to play Moreliead City, are looking for a "breather" against the Eagles. The Eagles are counting on taking ad vantage of the situation and catch ing the Bears asleep. Regardless of the outcome of the game. Eagle fans wlil be assured of watching a top-notch ball game if they travel to New Bern Friday night. The game begins at 8 p.m. Old Timers to Play League All-Stars The Beaufort Old Timers will meet u> all-star team from Uie Beaufort Church Baseball League at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Legion field.

Advice to a drunk from the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association newsletter: "Since you cannot refrain from drinking, why not start a saloon of your own in your own home? Be the only customer and you will not have to buy a license. "Give your wife *55 to buy a case of whisky. There are 240 drinks in a case. Buy all your drinks from your wife at 60 cents a drink. "In 12 days (when the case is gone) your wife will have $89 to put in the bank and $55 to buy another case. If you live 10 years and continue to buy your whisky from your wife and die in your boots, your widow will have $27, 125.47 on deposit.

By JAMES PETTEWAY The Queen Street Knights will open their season Saturday night by playing host to Rich Square on the Beaufort field. Coach S. H. Barrow says he has no scouting report on the Rich Square eleven. Reports from Beaufort indicate that any team that beats the Knights this year will be of cham pionship calibre and have more than its share of luck. In other words, the Knights are loaded! The Knights, always a strong passing team, have a pair of ends that average 6' 6" tall and can snag passes well over the heads of defending backs. Quarterback Tyrone Ellison is a capable passer and should keep the air lanes filled. The Knights will have a good running attack with a pair of speedy halfbacks who can really move. As always, the Knights will have a good fullback to plow through the center of the line for short yardage. The next Saturday the Knights will play host to Williamston. After that they travel to Edcnton for a game. Krw? from iigy Auk. 29? Mr. and Mrs. Vernon T. Myers, Norfolk, V;i , visited Mr. and Mrs. Al llubbard over the weekend.

M. Morrison, faced with making a winner out of a group of green players, still has not decided on a starting lineup for the game. Only a few player* are really sure of starting the game. Quarterback Pud Hasscll and fullback Krnest House seem set but the halfback positions are still not settled. Several boys still have hopes of landing a starting berth in the backfield. Get Starting Nod Ends Gordon Becton and Calvin Jones, both returning lettermen, have won starting berths as has tackle John Smith. Dallas Willis, last year's regular center, has re turned from Florida and is round ing into shape to play Friday night. Lonnie Dill, who was running as first string center before Willis re turned, will still see lots of action in the line. All other positions in the line arc open to a good deal of speculation and even the coach says he is nc' too sure which boys will earn staging nods. The Scadogs have been holding rough practice sessions, highlight ed by rousing scrimmages thai show just what is in a player. Coach Morrison is still stressing the fundamentals. When a player misses a block the coach stops action and makes the player walk through the play then run it several times to be sure he knows what his job is. Team Jells The Scadogs are looking more and more like a team instead of the group of green players that re ported for practice two weeks ago. By the time Friday rolls around. Coach Morrison should field a scrappy team that can hold its own in the rugged competition it will face this year. The players arc optimistic. They have been working hard and are in good shape. "We feel like we can beat anybody," one of them said. "The coach tells us all we have to do is play heads-up ball the whole time we are on the field. I guess anybody who doesn't will be sitting on the bench." Traveling Diesel Show Will Visit Morehead Friday J. O.
