Southport Gets
Repeat Victory
Against Bolivia
The Southport Dolphins rolled
over the Bolivia High School
eleven for the second consecutive
week Friday' defeating the Bears
21-0 under the lights at Shallotte.
Playing without the services of
number one quarterback Gerald
Cochran, Coach T. M. Lee’s
charges almost duplicated the
score of the previous week, 20-0.
All of Southport’s scoring came
in the first half, with two touch
downs occurring in the first quar
ter. The first of these came when
fullback Jerome Duncan hit the
Bolivia line, and found the Bear
goal 12 yards away. Right half
Ben Blake ran over the first of
three extra points he added dur
ing the evening’s encounter.
The second Southport marker
came a few minutes later on an
almost identical play, this time
with Duncan going 15 yards for
the score. Again Blake converted.
The third touchdown came in
the second quarter from 6 yards
out when Southport left half
Butch LeClerc thwarted the Bo
livia line and fought his way
through the secondary to pay dirt.

Once again, Blake converted, for
the final score of the evening's
affray.
The second half of the ball
game presented an entirely differ
ent picture as the Bears stub
bornly refused to allow Southport
to continue their first half on
slaught. Most of the action in the
final two periods was fought at
midfield, with neither team se
riously threatening.
Coach Lee singled out for
praise his substitute quarterback,
Bobby McKeithan, who handled
the signal calling role adequately,
and completed four passes in six
attempts. Lee also praised the
offensive work of Duncan and
Blake, the most consistent South
port ground gainers. Defensively,
Dolphin standouts included frosh
guard Frank Peak and linebacker
and defensive signal caller L. B.
Bennett.
The Bolivia attack was direct
ed by quarterback Porky Mintz,
whose play calling and ball hand
ling kept the Bears very much
in the ball game. Chief ground
gainer for the losers was half
back Donald Cyphers, while de
fensive laurels went to lineback
Hayes Hawes.

Whiteville Plays
Shallotte Friday
By JIGGS POWERS
SHALLOTTE—Both Shallotte’s
Pirates and the Whiteville Wolf
pack will be trying to break in
to the win-column here, Friday
night, at 8 o'clock, when they
meet on the local gridiron in a
Waccamaw Athletic Association
grid contest.
Coach Gene Winfree’s Bucs
bowed at Tabor City in their
loop opener two weeks ago, 20-0,
and Whiteville droppeda 19-7 tilt
at Chadbourn the same night.
Shallotte bad an open date last
weekend and Whiteville fell, 23-7,
in a non-league game with Clin
ton at Whiteville.
First Varsity Game
The game here, Friday night,
will be the first varsity meeting
of the two schools on the grid
iron. And, both will be eager to
claim the decision.
Though the Wolfpack will be
facing the heaviest team in the
new sports conference, Coach
Buck Hall has said in White
ville this week that he hopes to
cop a victory here, Friday night.
The Blue-and-White eleven from
the Columbus County seat will'
have three boys back on hand
that were missing when they
fell before Clinton last week.
wolves euturn
Halfback Dick Blackmon, out
with pneumonia, is back and will
likely play. Fullback Gary In
man, who had a cut about Ihe
eye and missed the last tilt, will
be in the lineup, and End Harold
Blanchard, out with a leg in
fection, is expected to play
against Shallotte.
Coach Hall felt proud of his
Wolves in their loss to Clinton,
even though they failed to taste
the fruits of victory. “I don’t
care if they did lose, I'm still
proud of them," the Pack mentor
said after the game. “With just
a 16-man squad (that’s all that
dressed for Clinton) I feel the
boys did right well against the
Dark Horses, even though they're
not quite as strong as they
usually are.
Hall Proud Of Boys
“We had a lineup filled with
Halfback hrdlucmfwyFregld.naPh
newcomers and change-overs.
Halfback Horace Nance, usually
a guard, and Earl Dutton, a
halfback, played fullback, their
first times at these posts. Dut
ton, along with End Sherman
Inman and Tackle Phillip Stev
ens were playing in their first
games. End Mike Thompsan and
Guard Jack High were starting
for the first time. Roger Collier
at halfback was playing in his
first varsity game.
“I feel, too, that plenty of
fans were impressed when the '
boys came back and scored on;
Clinton, even though they were j
the game’s underdog and the
visitors held a 16-0 lead. White
ville,” this the coach said with
confidence, “played the best it
has played yet in that second
half against Clinton. Statistics
showed that our boys played the
winners on almost even terms
over the last two periods."
ckhas ag ownnoP The hs gfois
The Pack has shown no sign
of overconfidence, but plenty of
confidence about the upcoming
game with Shallotte in their
drills this week, Hall said. A
good, hard workout Monday open
day opened the sessions and all
have been similar since.
Shallotte Team Heavy
Winfree, whose charges will be
seeking to make their new
coach s debut before a home
crowd successful, will have some
of the beefiest talent here that
has been available in Shallotte
yet.
At ends he will likely start
Bobby Gore and Jan Hewett;
Billy Grissette and Garland Sel
lers, tackles; Charles Harward
and Howard Bland guards; Steve
Gore, center; Larry Holden, quar
terback; Eddie Gore and Wayne
Prince, halfbacks; and Billy
Hewett, fullback.
The Pirates have been drilling
for the past several days against
Whiteville offensive patterns and
should be ready by gametime for

Tourney Play
By JIGGS TOWERS
The Waecamaw Athletic Asso
ciation took a major step at its
special meeting here, Wednesday
night, when it voted to sponsor
a conference basketball tourna
ment at the close of the 1958-59
cage season.
Time and site of the tourney
will be set later.
The action was the greatest
taken at the meeting, held under
the direction of President Bruce
Hill of Elizabethtown at Hotel
Whiteville.
And, the aetion could be
one of the greatest import
ance to basketball in this
area since World War II.
Due to a ruling against the
limited participation of teams
in post-schedule tournaments
by the N. C. High School
Athletic Association, the de
cision to play in a conference
anything the Pack throws at
them. The Bucs are in good
shape, physically and mentally.

First Grid Game
Warraraaiv high school
makes its debut into the foot
ball wars Friday afternoon
when the Eagles go to Bo
livia for their first game.
Their coach is Paul Powell, a
former football mentor at Bo
livia. Game time is 8 o’clock.
tournament of their own may
eliminate the three Columbus
County schools involved—
Whlteville, Tabor City and
Cliadbourn—f r o m participa
tion in the annual Columbus
County Basketball Touma
menu.
Likewise, the participation
could eventually have bearing on
Shallotte in the Brunswick Coun
ty event. Elizabethtown, the
fifth member of the WAA, has
already broken all mutual bonds
with its Bladen County cham
pionship possibilities.
State rules say that “No
more than two tournaments
a year may be entered in
any one sport. Girls are
limited to participation in
one tournament.” Thus, if
the Waccamaw members
wish to play in their tourney
and still enter the State play
offs, they cannot take part
in the Columbus, Bladen and
Brunswick tournaments.
The girls teams can only play
in one event; thus, if they take
part in the WAA Tourney, they
will have to forfeit their chance
to possible county fame and
glory.
It was voted by members
at the local meeting, Wed
nesday, to play the First
WAA Basketball Tourna
ment with all six boys’ teams
participating and only five
girls’ clubs taking part. Shal
lotte has already committed
itself to play in the Bruns
wick County event during
1958-59. Bladenboro is the
sixth member of the WAA,
or will become such, official
ly, on Dec. 1, in time for the
cage season. Other members
are Whiteville, Chadbourn,
Tabor City, and ETown.
It was also voted that all
schools would send both girls’
and boys’ teams to the Wacca
maw Tournament after the com
ing year.
Among other business to which
attention was given at the meet
ing wras a decision that the Wac
camaw AA football champion of
1958 must be decided as of Nov.
1. in order that this representa
tive may be in position to plav
the winner of the Clinton, Sted
man, Massey Hill and Dunn quad
rangle of the Southeastern AA
Association the following Friday
night.
Waccamaw representatives
at the meeting also decided
upon a method of determin
ing the champion If a tie ex
ists as of Nov. 1 between
two teams. It was voted that
the team which had the least
number of points scored
against it be chosen as the
loop representative to the
State Playoffs, should a tie
between two clubs exist at
that time.
All schools were represented at
the meeting. Among those pre
sent were President Hill of
Elizabethtown; Vice-President
Fred McClure and Coaches Dick
McCleney and Hershey Hipps,
Chadboum; Secretary-Treasurer
John T. Sasser and Coaches Buck
Hall and Bill Rogers, Whiteville;
Athletic Director Paul Weatherly
and Coach Gene Winfree, Shal
