'I Beaufort Seadogs to Invade Morehead For Annual Battle for Mullet Bucket I Beaufort Eleven Looking For First Win Since '51 The annual battle for the Mullet Bucket is scheduled for eight tonight with the Morehead City Eagles playing host to the Beaufort Seadogs. While the Eagles will be slight favorites, coaches Norman Clark and Hugh Gordon have warned the Morehead City players that Beaufort will be one of the toughest teams they have faced. The Seadogs, riding a four-game win streak, are fired up for the contest. The Eagles, ? anxious to hang a defeat on their rivals, are also ready to go all out on the field tonight. Tlje Seadogs will be trying for their first victory since 1951, when they clobbered the Eagles by scores of 21-0 and 6-0 in the two games they played that season. Though thp Eagles have domi nated the series for the past six years, the Beaufort fa."* are cer tain that a victory ovt ine Eagles is possible within a year or so? quite possibly this year. The Seadogs and Eagles have identical 5-2 won-lost records. The Eagles have lost to New Bern and Wallace while the Seadogs were losing to LaGrange and Havelock. Havelock is the . only common foe the teams have met. The Sea dogs lost a 13-7 decision to the Rams but the Eagles rolled to a 27-0 victory over the same team. The Beaufort line, if weight means anything, is in for a rough night. The Eagle forward wall averages 190 pounds per man from end to end. The Seadog line aver ages out at 157 pounds per man. In the middle of the line is where the Eagles have the biggest ad vantage. In center Bob Willis, 230, and Guards Mokey Lasitter, 205, and Leslie Nelson, 200, the Eagles have an average of 212 pounds. The Seadogs will counter with center Lonnie Dill, 135, and guards Joe Powell, 140, and Gray Simp son, 150. Their average weight is 142, 70 pounds per man less than the men they will face. The tackles and ends are more evenly matched. Eagle tackles are Lynwood Durham, 200, and Jerry Garner, 165; the ends are John Baker, 165, and Jim Lawrence, 160. Seadog Uckles are John Smith, 160, and David Willis, 171; the ends are Gordon Becton, 180, and Calvin Jones, 170. Starting backs for the Seadogs average 155 pounds. They are quarterback Butch Hasscll, 155, halfbacks Eddie Taylor, 140, and Guion Dudley, 165, and fullback Ernest House, 160. The starting backfield for the Eagles will average 168 pounds per man. Starters will be quarter back Jackie McQueen, 155, half backs James Guthrie, 175, and Ted Garner, 155, and fullback Freddie Oglesby, 185. Beaufort coach V. M. Morrison declares that his players are un daunted by their lack of weight. The team that wants to win the most and hits the hardest will win ? that is the belief Coach Morrison has instilled in his players. After scouting the Seadogs in their victory aver Ayden last week, Coach Clark declares that the Beaufort line is an aggressive unit that is in the game every minute. "They never let up," he said, "they are dangerous and we know it." Fans attending the game can expect a wide-open affair with both teams chunking the pigskin with abandon. Last week, for in stance, the Seadogs covered 99 yards on two consecutive pass plays. llassel! will do most of the pass ing for the Seadogs while McQueen and Guthrie will probably share passing chores for the Eagles. The only regular on either team who will miss the game is Beau fort halfback Pud Hassell, who has a cast on his right ankle. Dud ley, who has moved into Hassell's starting berth, was a star in the Beaufort victory over Ayden last week. This will be the last game of the year for the Eagles. The Seadogs will play host to Swansboro next week in their final game.

"Juice" Dunn, is touted to trounce Horace (Arnold Palmer) Tyler to morrow afternoon over the More bead City Golf and Country Club's tough lS-hole course. Up from the bottom depths of the duffer class in less than four years Dunn stroked himself into the championship flight in qualify ing rounds five weelu ago. Only tea of Horehead City Golf Club players made the champion ship flight entitling them to play for the high honor of club cham pion. Warren Beck, defending club champion and a superlative golfer, was, of course, one of those who qualified for the flight. Aad, to the surprise of everyone Beck was one of the two top golfers to wither under the relentless fire of Dunn's flashing clubs, the other, the Baron of Beaufort, W. H. (Pig gy) Potter. Tyler, to gain his right to play Dunn, met and defeated the rela tively easy touches, Jerry Whit field and Wayne Thompson. Dun, obviously, has come up the hard way, Tyler, just as ob viously, the easy. Marion Mills smugly sits on the sidelines awaiting the outcome of the Dunn-Tyler match.

Half back James Guthrie, fullback Fred die Oglesby, tackles Lynwood Dur ham and Jerry Garner, defensive specialist Danny Grayshock and re serve guard Dennis Munden will be in uniform for the last time. Guthrie, a strong candidate for All State honors this year, has been the sparkplug of the Eagle attack. In his three years on the varsity, Guthrie has scored an amazing total of 274 points. Guthrie's father, Edward Earl Guthrie, reported this week that his son has received a letter from Duke inviting him to discuss an athletic scholarship after the sea son. Several other schools, he said, have expressed an interest in him. Oglesby, voted the most improved player on the team last year, has developed into a hard-running full back who has been a real asset to the team. Oglesby began his career as a tackle but shifted to the back field last year. Not only on offense, but on de fnese as well, Oglesby has been a stand-out in his three years on the varsity. He has been the big man when the Eagles needed that short yardage for a first down when the going was roughest. Durham has earned the respect of coaches and players alike for his all-out play in the line. The bi<4 tackle has been the mainstay of the Eagle line this year and was an important cog in the Eagles cham pionship line last season. Switched to center linebacker this year during the second game of the season, Durham has account ed for countless single tackles and assists. He is in on over half of the tackles made while the Eagles are on defense. Garner, the other starting tackle, has played football for only one year. He came out for the first time this fall with little knowledge of the game and no experience. He was expected to be a weak link in the forward wall but after the first game of the season he proved that he was one of the best defensive players on the team. His offensive play has improved and he will be a hard man to replace. Danny Grayshock, who reported late this year, has been on the team for three years. Due to his aggres sive play, the coach uses him al most entirely on defense. Grayshock is willing to plow through blockers to get to the ball carrier and that is what it takes to make a good defensive player. He was once described as the "tough est man, pound for pound," that a coach could ask for. Munden, playing his first and last ?

It will be at the American Legion building, Beaufort, and will be chaperoned, announces Mrs. David Bcveridge, FHA advisor. year of football, has been a de pendable reserve, always ready to get into the middle of the scrap. In junior varsity action, Munden has been an outstanding player in the line. While the Eagles will miss these players next year. Coaches Norman Clark and Hugh Gordon have a number of sophomores and juniors coming up who will step into start ing positions with case. According to the graduating players, the Eagles will be better than ever next year. Don) Will Fill Mullet Bucket The Mullet Bucket will be filled with hamburgers for members of both teams after tonight's game between Morchcad City and Beau fort. The bucket will be filled by Dom Femia at Doin's Lunch, 18th Street, Morehead City.

The Mullet Bucket, originated by the Morchcad City and Beau fort Jaycccs in 1950, has become an institution. It has the distinc tion of being the only trophy at either school thai is too big for the trophy case. Between games the bucket is stored at THE NEWS-TIMES of fice for safe keeping. SEE IT! DRIVE IT!
