ing defeat that spoiled the dedica
tion of our beautiful High School
Stadium. It ruined New Bern’s
dream of a Northeastern Confer
ence crown, and exploded in quick
order the myth of invincibility that
had been prematurely conferred
upon the Bears.
When you get clobbered on your
home field by the one sided margin
of 25 to 7, you’ve had it. That night
at least the Washington ball club
was far superior to the locals.
Instead of folding up after Jean
Earl Worthington sprinted 87 yards
for a touchdown on opening kick
off, Choppy Wagner’s outfit came
roaring back. For New Bern it was
a- bitter defeat, but for Washing
ton it was a deserved victory.
Tonight it is apt to be different.
Certainly the Bears have every in
centive to make it -different. The

COOL UNDER FIRE — Ter

ing for the Bears in the
Morehead City game left lit
tle to be desired. He display
ed remarkable poise for a
rookie, and New Bern’s
hopes for victory against
Washington’s favored Papi-
Pack tonight will be riding
on his generalship.

would have been a keen disappoint
ment.
However, they were ably assisted
by newcomers. As a matter of fact,
the victory over Morehead City
was a team effort. Therein may
lie the strength that could give the
Bruins more than their share of
wins this year.
Encouraging to us was Maults
by’s passing, with Donald Lamb as
a target. He may never prove
sensational in that department, but
he is already, good enough to keep
opposing secondaries from disre
garding the danger of his tosses.
That is of utmost importance,
Washington has an aerial attack
of its own. Its lone touchdown
against Wilson came on the last
play of the game when Quarter
back Kent Denton heaved a nifty
to Adrian Waters. They’ll bear
watching tonight.
■ As for the Bruins, they go into
the game well scouted. Assistant
Coach Bill Sweel of the Pam-Pack
was on the sidelines last Friday,
and he scribbled more thart his
usual number of notes. Meanwhile,
the Bears«^had a scout of their own
getting the lowdown at Wilson.
It’s a legitimate part of football,
but it doesn’t make things easier
for a coach who would like nothing
better than to catch his next op
ponent napping. Neither New Bern
nor Washington had a chance to
play under wraps in their opener,
so what they’ve got is an open
book.
What the chapters in that book
will be remains to be seen.

Pam-Pack dropped its openef with
Wilson last Friday, 13 to 6, while
New Bern was winning handily
over Morehead City’s State AAC
champions, 25 to 7.
Even, so, Washington gets the
nod as far as we’re concerned.
Both teams have experienced lines
that boast plenty of poundage, and
:iiie»per4enoe in the backfield. It
iMto a bruising
nakle with little scoring. The Pam-
Back, if for. no other reason than
the fact that it will be playing at
home, figures to finish in front.'
However, predictions don’t al
ways pay off. The Bears did rather
well in their opener. Cliffie Rowe’s
three touchdowns made gridiron
history in the realm of rookies, and
Terry Maultsby’s quarterbacking
was exceptional for a youngster
who lacks necessary seasoning.
It- was no surprise, of course,
when the veterans in New Bern’s
forward wall performed depend
ably. "Had- they done otherwise it
