Eagles Take Holiday Break The Morehead City Eaglet will swing back into action on Jan. ?, when they travel to Swansboro for a game with the Plratea. Team members, front row, left to right, are Jimmy Smithwick, Jimmy Swann.John Phillips, Lynwood Durham, James Guthrie and Walter Morris, Back row, Harold Whealton, Jimmy Thompson, Charles Lynch, Tommy Thompson, Truman Kemp, Dan Wade, Chuck Sledge, George Styron and Coach Gannon Talbert. Morehead City Eagles Show Promise of Improvement The Morehead City Eagles, boast-4 ing four seniors on the starting five, show promise of rounding into a good ball club under the coaching of Gannon Talbert. The coach says he lost two great play ers in Llewellyn Phillips and Dar den Eure but has plenty of good boys returning. The seniors, Lynwood Durham, Jimmy Swann. Walter Morris and James Guthrie, are joined by junior John Phillips. All five play ers arc averaging better than 10 points per game. Phillips is high scorer for the team with 54 points in four games for an average of 13.S points per game. Despite the fact that the Eagles are scoring at an average of over 55 points per game, they have won only two games while losing two. The defense is the major prob lem Coach Talbert must solve. So far this year only Durham and Phillips have been able to get their share of the rebounds. Dur ham has been outstanding under th? backboards and -Phillips has used his height to advantage in pulling down rebounds. Guthrie, who has played in only two games, shows promise of de veloping into a good defensive player. He is big enough to work under the basket with Durham. Morris and Swann, the fast breaking outside men, are good guards but lack the size to fight for the ball under the boards. The Eagles should do very well in the county and against most of the other teams on their schedule. The teams like Swansboro, with six or seven men six feet or taller, are the ones that will trouble the Eagles most. The Eagles will play their first conference game on Jan. 9, when they will play host to the Jones Central Rockets. Other' teams in the Coastal Plains Conference are Pamlico Central and Wallacc-Rosc Hill. The Eagles will play two regu lar season games with each of these teams and will compete in the confercnce tournament at Jones Central. Winner of the conference tournament will go into the state play-offs. The Eagles will participate in the county tournament again this year. While they will be eligible to hold the title of county cham pions, the Eagles can not repre sent the county in the state Class A play-offs. Scoring averages for the top scorcrs follow: Games Pts.

Beaufort Seadogs Win Five Straight Pre-Holiday Games The Beaufort Scadog? are sche duled to meet their stiffeit opposi tion of the year when they travel to Swanaboro Saturday night, Jan. 3. Winners of five straight, the Seadogs hold victories over New Bern (twice), Atlantic, Pamlico and Camp Lejcune. Despite the fact that three of the victories came over AA schools, the Seadogs will probably have more trouble with the Swans boro Pirates than with any of the teams they have met to date. The Pirates have a big, fast team and will really be hard to beat on their home court. What the Sea dogs will give up in size they will have to make up in shooting and spirit. The Seadogs have shown plenty of both qualities so far this year. The Beaufort quintet has scored 305 points in five games for an average of 61 points per contest. They have looked great on defense, giving up an average of only 38 points per contest. Despite the fact that Butch Has scll is scoring nearly 23 points a game, the Seadogs have a well rounded offense. Pud ltassell is hitting for over 11 points a game and two or three other Seadogs should be in the double figures be fore the season is over. The Seadogs' only weakness seems to be in their lack of height. Sammy Merrill and Pud Hassell are turning in good performances under the boards against taller players and Allen Autry is improv ing in his timing. Butch Hassell and Leon Thomas, starting guards, are strong re bounders from their outside posi tions. The Seadogs have plenty of class and play a polished type of ball. Coach T. H. McQuaid has built a machine at Beaufort that will go T. II. McQuaid . . . Seadog coach a long way this year. The Seadogs can play a variety of defenses and are past masters of the full-court press. In last Saturday's game at New Bern the Seadogs. held the high-scoring Bears to four points in the third quarter while employ ing the press. Coach McQuaid has the reserve strength so necessary for the run ning game employed by the Sea dogs. Frank Potter, Calvin Jones, Ray Hassell, Doug Swain, Harry Gillikin and Chuck Lewis are all capable ball players. Hassell, Gil likin and Lewis are freshmen and show promise of developing into great competitors. The players who have been get ting the points in Beaufort's vic tories follow: Games Pts. Avg.
