Slow-Down Tactics Fail for Eagles ;
Beaufort Takes 57-42 Win Tuesday
Eaglettes Defeated 68-39
In Preliminary Contest
By SHIRLEY FREDERICK
The defending state champion Beafort Seadogs ran into
a ball control quintet of Morehead City Eagles Tuesday
night in the Beaufort gym and were held to their lowest
point output of the season in downing the Eagles 57-42.
Not since the opening game of the season when the Sea
dogs scored 59 points in winning <
from Pamlico have the Seadogs
been held to less than 60 points in
a game.
The Eagles started their posses
sion tactics right from the opening
whistle. For the majority of the
first quarter the strategy paid off
as the Eagles managed to stay
within striking distance of the Mc
Quaidmen. At one stage of the
game they even led Beaufort.
They took their first lead in the
game early in the first quarter
when a field goal by Tom Thomp
son put them ahead of Beaufort by
one at 7-6. They later increased
this lead to four points when they
led 10-6 in the quarter.
The Eagle lead was short-lived
however as the Seadogs retook the
lead midway in the quarter and
never relinquished it. The end of
the quarter saw them leading by
five at 15-10.
Morehead City's control brand of
basketball kept the Seadogs from
scoring at their normal clip but
they still managed to build up a
comfortable lead. At halftime their
their spread over the Eagles was
11 points as they left the floor with
a 29-18 advantage.
In the third and fourth quarters
the Seadogs kept banging away at
the basket when they got the ball
to maintain a steady lead of from
15 to 16 points over the Eagles. The
Eagles, although they showed scor
ing power when they did shoot,
elected to stay with their control
tactics throughout the game.
High scoring honors for the game
were shared by Beaufort's Butch
Hassell and Tom Thompson of the
Eagles. Each had 22 points. Butch
scored seven field goals and eight
free throws while Thompson's total
came on nine field goals and four
for four from the free throw line.
Dan Wade and George Styron
each had eight points for the vis
itors while Ray Hassell with 15
pomts and Pud Hassell w'th 14
points followed Butch in the F dog
scoring.
In the preliminary game the
Beaufort girls had little trouble in
>
winning their third game of the
year as they downed the winless
Eagles 68-39.
One of the highlights of the game
was an amazing exhibition of free
throw shooting by Beaufort scoring
ace Pat Lupton. Hitting free throws
with an accuracy that most boys
would envy Pat sank an amazing
total of 16 consecutive charity
tosses in the game before missing.
For the game she made 17 of the
19 free throws she took.
With three starters scoring in
double figures the girl Seadogs took
an early lead in the game and were
never headed. Their lead after one
quarter of play was 17-11 and half
time found them enjoying a 31-16
spread.
High scoring honors for the game
went to Lupton who sank seven
field goals in addition to her 17 free
throws for a total of 31 points. Re
gina Pake finished the night with
17 points and Lynda Chadwick con
tributed 10. Other scorers for Beau
fort were Lynn Peterson with eight
points and Virginia Davis with two
points.
Alta Dickinson scored 26 points
to pace the Eaglette scorers and
was followed by Clara Jo Gaskins
with nine, Portia Salter with two
and Andy Piner and Johnice
Doshier with one point each. Nan
cy Duke also saw action as a for
ward.
In the back court coach Helen
Jemigan of the Eaglettes started a
guard trio of Virginia Thompson,
Lorraine Hatcher and Dana Dick
inson and relieved with substitutes
Sara Davis, Sue Smith and Sally
Simpson.
Playing the back court for Beau
fort were Jeanette Ransom, Lois
Jean Pigot, Joyce Leonard, Sheila
Willis, Jill Williams and Freda Kay
Garner.

Jasper Coach, Son
Suspended After
Slugging Incident
A former Smyrna high school
coach and Harkers Island teacher,
Myron (Ace) Harris, has been sus
pended for the rest of the season as
head basketball coach at Jasper
high school.
The reason for the suspension
was an incident in a Jasper-Vance
boro game in which Harris slugged
an official. Making the suspension
was the North Carolina High School
Athletic Association.
Also suspended from playing bas
ketball for the rest of the season
was Harris' son, Buddy, who is a
member of the Jasper team. Buddy
was accused of hitting the official
after he had been floored by Har
ris.
The game in which the incident
occurred was played Jan. 15.
Executive secretary L. J. Perry
of the NCHSAA made the following
comment in handing down the sus
pension:
"It is needless to say that wc re
gret a decision like this is neces
sary, but I am sure we all realize
that actions such as listed have no
place in our high school sports pro
gram."
Harris, from Marshallberg, op

First it was the Atlantic Coast conference issuing a
mandate ordering coaches to keep a bottle of tranquil
izer pills next to them on the bench. Then it was the
Smoky Mountain conference banning Andrews from en
tering state football and basketball playoffs and then
it was Jasper basketball coach Myron Harris and his
player-son, Buddy, being suspended for the rest of the
season for an official-striking incident.
While a lot of people have said that the above re
strictions are a little too rough for the so-called non-con
tact sport of basketball, and those connected with it, the
question arises, "How else are you going to handle such
incidents?"
At the basketball games that I have attended recently
it has been apparent on several occasions that the offi
cials did not have the game as well in their hands as
should have been the case.
Some of the incidents, though, were truthfully not the
fault of the game officials alone.
This was readily seen at the Beaufort-Smyrna game
last Friday night. Instead of stopping the ticket sales
when the gym became full, tickets were sold even
though the ticket buyers couldn't get into the lobby. This
was unfair not only to the players who were forced to
play in cramped quarters with spectators completely
surrounding the floor but to those who paid for seats
and then couldn't see the game because of the mobs of
people standing in front of them. The school needs
money but creating ill will by selling more tickets than
the gym has room for, isn't a sure formula for financial
success. If anything, it may work in just the opposite
way for future games. Those fans who had to go home
after paying their admission price may think twice be
fore going to another game where a large crowd is ex
pected. Who can blame them?
Another thing that was evident by its absence Friday
night was the lack of a substantial policing force. The
school should have placed officials on the floor to keep
the crowds as far back from the playing area as possi
ble. The same officials coi d have prevented most of the
puddles on the floor by not allowing soft drinks to be
taken into the gym.
In a gym where both teams, as well as the spectators,
are forced to use a single dressing and rest room, specta
tors ought to be banned from the dressing room during
halftime when coaches are trying to map second half
strategy.
Another thing, the area in front of both benches was
not kept clear of spectators as it should have been.
When fans start rehashing a game played the night
before and they get around to criticizing the coaching
errors, they seem to ignore the fact that it's almost im
possible for a coach to correct a mistake if he can't even
see the game, let alone the mistaken a team is making.
That's 30 for now.
Newport Drops Both Ends
Of Doubleheader to Pirates
Beaufort JV's
Bow Twice
To Swansboro
By BILL KIRK
The two Beaufort junior varsity
basketball teams entertained teams
from Swansboro Monday afternoon
and came away loiters on both ends
of the double header. The Jayvee
boys were defeated 43-35 after the
Jayvee girls had dropped a 55-23
decision to the Swansboro girls.
In the girls' game the first quar
ter proved to be the only period
that was even close. Swansboro
went from a 15-12 lead at the end
of the quarter to a 32-14 halftime
advantage.
Beaufort scored only nine points
in the third quarter while the Pi
rate girls were getting 16. The nine
points proved to be all of the Beau
fort scoring for the remainder of
the game as they failed to score
in the final quarter.
Margaret Merrill paced the Beau
fort attack by scoring 12 points.
She was followed by Virginia Pot
ter, who had eight, and Judy Ful
cher with three. Ann Clemmons
and Helen Longest also saw action
in the front court but failed to
score.
The starting guard trio, for the
Beaufort girls was Peggy Lewis,
Norma Merrill and Sue Simpson.
Linda Swain also entered the game
as a guard.
In the boys' game a slow first
quarter put the Seadog Jayvees in ;
a hole and they never recovered to
catch Swansboro. In the quarter j
Beaufort could manage only two i
points to trail at the end of the |
period 8-2.
Beaufort outscored Swansboro |
26-24 in the final two quarters but
the first half lead of the Pirates
carried them to the win.
Joe Eastman and Joe King paced
the Beaufort scoring attack with 13
and 14 points respectively, however,
high scoring honors for the game
went to Pate of Swansboro who
tossed in 17 points.
Sanford Boswell had five points
for Beaufort and Bill Harris col
lected two and Charles Dickinson
one. Also playing but failing to
score were Daniel Nelson, Mike
Smith and Pat Smith.

' The Newport Hawks were caught*
on a cold night by the Swansboro
Pirates Tuesday night and as a
result Swansboro had little trouble
in styling a 68-39 win.
The Hawks, who usually present
a fair-shooting offensive attack,
managed to make only 15 of the 54
field goal attempts, for a frigid
27.7 per cent shooting accuracy.
The Pirates meanwhile, were sink
ing 29 of 73 attempted from the
floor for a mark of 39 7 per cent.
In the first quarter the Hawks
were ice cold and the Pirates were
red hot. The end of the p?riod
saw the Swansboro quintet enjoy
ing an 11-point spread at 20-9.
Newport managed to better their
first quarter showing by only two
points in the second period as half
time came with them still trailing
the Pirates 33-20.
The Pirates, at the same time,
were warming up as the game
wore on. In the third quarter they
stuffed 14 points through the hoop
and finished the night with a 21
point outburst in the final frame.
Newport was held to a total of 17
points in the two quarters.
For the game the Pirates had
four players scoring in double fig
ures. Leading the way was Wig
gins with 20 points and Dudley
with 13. Mike Miller with 12 points
and Corbitt with 11 rounded out
the Swansboro top scorers.
All-County eager Johnny Turpin
was the pace-setter among Hawk
scorers as he tallied six field goals
and three free throws for a total
of 15 points. Ron Edwards was
second high for Newport with a
ten point performance. Larry Kirk
and Johnny Zirm had six and four
points respectively and Clifton
Nance and Johnny Bell each had
two.
From the free throw line the
Hawks proved a little more accu
rate as they sank nine of the 13
they tried for a shooting per cent
of 69.2. The best that Swansboro
could manage was an even 50 per
cent as they made half of their
20 gift shots.
The all-important free throws
told the story of the first game as
the Hawkettes bowed 47-54 to the
Swansboro girls even though they
outscored the Pirates from the
floor.
Game statistics reveal that the
Hawkettes scored 21 field goals to
20 for Swansboro. The big differ
ence came at the free throw line
where Newport made only five of
23 charity toss attempts.
Margaret Lilly led all Newport
scorers in the game with her total
of 32 points. High scoring honors
for the game however, went to
Betty Casey of Swansboro who
dropped in 34. Jenny Lynn Garner
was second high scorer for New
port with nine points and Dump
Warren tallied four.
The only substitute forward to
break into the scoring column for
Doug Shafaran's sextet was Betty
Green who was credited with two
points.
The Newport guard corps was
weakened somewhat in the game
when starter JoAnn Hohl was forc
ed to leave the floor with five per
sonals. The other back court start
ers Were Nancy Allen and Lana
Linebarger while Dottie Whitley
and Jane Murdoch relieved.
Knights Split
Pair Thursday
By JAMES PETTEWAY
After building up a first half lead
of three points, the Knights of
Queen Street high school could not
stave off a last half drive Thurs
day by Savannah high school that
earned the Wildcats a 59-56 win.
The game was played at Savan
nah.
The Knights started off fast and
by the end of the first quarter they
had taken a five point lead over
their opponents, 14-9. The Wild
cats managed to narrow this gap
to three points in the second quar
ter as the period ended with the
Knights leading 28-25.
The Wildcats scored a total of
34 points in the final two frames
to edge the Knights.
High scoring Johnny Teel was
the mainstay in the Knight offen
sive attack, as he chalked up 22
points to grao scoring honors for
the game. Toby Fenderson was
close behind Teel in the point
making parade with 17 points.
The only other Knight to break
into double figures was Eric Teel
who collected 10 points. Haywood
Stanley tallied three for Queen
Street and Sterling Ellison and
Arthur Davis had two pointsJeach.

Raiders Win 84-56
Minus Jim Fodrie
The Fry Raiders continued their
mastery over teams in the New
Bern City League Monday night by
downing Maola 84-56.
The Raiders had little trouble in
winning easily over the Cowboys
despite the fact that they were
minus the services of their scoring
ace Jim Fodrie.
Gehrmaiui Holland and Walker
Gillikin paced the Raiders' scoring,
with their combined total of 54
poJ ts. Holland was credited with
34, his high for the season, and Gil

Other scorers for the Raiders
were Louis Thomas with six points,
Pierson Willis with four points,

hot from the floor their accuracy
from the free throw line left some
thing to be desired. Tfcey sank
only 14 of 34 charity attempts for
a meager 41 per cent accuracy.
