(Buster) Cavanaugh Tommy Taylor 603 COntentnea Ave Phone ME 7-5385 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.

COOL UNDER FIRE — Ter ry Maultsby’s quarterback 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. —Ph'oto by John R. Baxter. 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.
