Shallotte Looks
Good But Loses
SHALLOTTE — Coach Gene
Winfree’s Shallotte Pirates showed
unexpected strength here, Friday
night, as they lost a 7-6 grid |
squeaker to highly favored North I
Duplin in the season opener for
both clubs.
For an opening game, Winfree’s
boys looked fine but bowed to
the Duplin outfit when they drove
65 yards for a TD in the third
quarter and added the PAT.

Eagles At Home
To Tar Heel In
First Loop Tilt
ASH—Waccamaw’s Eagles are
hopeful, very hopeful as they pre
pare to open their 1961 Border
Belt 8-Man Conference football
season here, Friday at 4 p. m.
against the Tar Heel Pirates.
Coach Tommy Shutt's Eagles
are seeking their first win in the
grid game in three years. In fact,
they feel that Friday just might
be the day that they chalk up
that triumph.
For the Waccamaw octet played
a bang-up game at Bolivia last
week in a non-conference tiff,
losing in the last 90 seconds by
a 24-19 count.
Coach Shutt will start a lineup
that is rather light, but, accord
ing to his own words, is "willing,
ready and eager." These boys are
Sidney Coleman, 150, freshman at
left end; Donald Hughes, 160,
sophomore at center; Mathew
FormyDuval, 160, junior and Bry
an Smith, 160, freshman, in
Shutt's unbalanced line at guards;
and Ronald Hughes, 155, soph at
right end.
In the singlewing backfield, Earl
Hughes, 145, junior, runs at wing
back; Colon Kelly, 145, soph at
fullback; and Vernon Hughes, 155,
senior, at tailback.
Tar Heel’s club is of an un
known quantity, but Shutt and
his boys can rest assured that
they will have a worthy foe on
the field, come Friday. The Pi
rates are always one of the
"toughies” of the BB8MC. year in
and year out.- |JIGGS POWERS).
Shallotte scored first, in the
second quarter, with Fullback
Howard Benton plowing over from
4 yards out to climax a 58-yard
drive for the TD. Quarterback
Bobby Hubbard passed to Half
back Danny Stanley on the PAT
attempt, but it fell incomplete.
Marvin Swinson scored from 3
yards out for ND in the third
chapter, closing the 50-yard drive.
Harold Thompson ran across with
the PAT which brought victory
for Coach Howard Kaleel’s team
from Duplin.

Bladenboro Host
To Shallotte In
’61 Grid Opener
BLADENBORO—Coach Frank
Thompson's Bladenboro Bulldogs
will open their 1961 football sea
son here, Friday night at 8
o'clock, with a Waecamaw Ath
letic Association game against the
Shallotte Pirates.
The Bulldogs, which team will
have no more than half-dozen let
termen in their starting lineup,
has a real reason for going all out
against the Pirates from Bruns
wick County, Friday. It was in
the WAA opener for the Bulldogs
last year that two of its star
players, Richard Davis at quarter
back and Tackle Ronnie Cox, suf
fered injuries which practically
marred the entire BBoro football
season.
So, a win for Thompson's boys
here this weekend in their lid
raiser would be a sweet one.
Coach Thompson listed as prob
able starters for Bladenboro, the
following boys: At left end, Rob
ert Pait, a 185-pound senior let
terman; David Pait, 170, junior
letterman at left tackle; Russell
Walters, 160, senior, left guard;
Darrell Russ, 170, soph, at cen
ter: Eric McKeithan, 145, soph,
right guard; Ronnie Russ, 165,
senior, right tackle; Billy Storms,
145, senior, right end.
Richard Davis, a very promising
170-pound junior letterman at
quarterback; Bobby Cain, 145,
senior letterman, left-halfback;
Wilson McLean, 135, junior letter
man or Ronald Hester, 150, sen
ior, right-halfback; and Letter
man Dennis Pope, hard-running
180, junior at fullback.
Thompson said his Bulldogs i
were looking favorable, though he
is in the midst of a rebuilding
job this year. He will have, if he
starts the men mentioned above,
three sophomores and four seniors
who have never before played
football. “It all depends on how
our newcomers come around,” the
former Wake Forest co-captain
said today.
Shallotte, which opened its sea
son last week with a thrilling,
7-6 non-conference loss to North
Duplin, will be ready “for bear"
over that defeat, Friday night.
Fullback Howard Benton, Quarter
back Bobby Hubbard, are expect
ed to be among the Pirate lead- .

College Prospect
UNC FRESHMAN BEN BLAKE
Future Prospect—
Ben Blake Reports
As UNC Freshman
Ben Blake, probably the bright
sst college football prospect ever
to graduate from Southport High
School, is at the University of
North Carolina this fall on a
»rant in aid scholarship good for
his freshman year, and the folks
tiere at home are betting that
what he does this fall will be
good enough to earn a three-year
e-xtension on this arrangement.
This feeling of confidence re
ceived a booster this week when
Ben's older brother, a former stu
dent at UNC, visited the campus
and found his young brother
trudging off the practice field fol
lowing the second hard workout
of the day. That was Monday.
“Ben says he is getting along
fine,’’ Tommy reported. "He says
they have some of the best foot
ball players in the world on the
freshman squad- -some high school
Adl-Americans and some All-State
players. Four of them are out for
fullback, and that's where they
have Ben running. He says that
he thinks he will get to play
some ball if he doesn’t get hurt.
"They have used him most of
the time on defense so far,” Tom
my continued. And that is what
is likely to win Ben some follow
ers in Chapel Hill, for even though
he had a brilliant record as a
ball-carrying back, he excelled on
defense. He was an outstanding
line-backer last year in high
school, and once in awhile when
the going really got rough he
would move up into the line so he
could blast through for a try on
the ball handler in the opposing
backfield.
Tommy said Ben admits that
some of the boys, on the UNC
freshman squad make him look
bad as a punter, “but he thinks
he can gain some ground with the
ers.
kind of blocking he’ll have in |
front of him,” brother Tommy !
said.
Last year Ben scored eleven
touchdowns for Southport and
scored in all but one game. His
first was a 70-yard kick-off return j
against Wampee, and the others ;
ranged from 6-inches to 80-yards. j
In addition, he set up at least
three other scoring plays with car
ries to the shadow of the goal
line.
The Carolina freshmen will
spend the better part of Septem
ber scrimmaging against the Tar
Heel varsity as it tries to get in
shape for the opening game with
N. C. State on September 30. ;
Later they embark upon a sched
ule of their own, and when they
do his followers here in Brunswick
believe that Ben Blake will be
playing a lot of freshman football
at UNC this fall.

Varieties And Fertilizers
This Year
A tobacco variety performance
survey is being: conducted in
Brunswick County to determine
how various varieties compared
in yield and value during 1961 on
tobacco farms, according to A. S.
Knowles, County Agricultural
Agent.
As many farmers as possible
are being contacted so that the
information gathered will repre
sent a sizeable portion of the to
bacco grown in the county. Grow
ers are being asked what total
yield and value he received from
each variety he grew in 1961.
Cards are being sent to a rep
resentative group of growers in
the county and the growers who
receive cards are urged to fill out
the card accurately and return it
to the County Agent's Office.
Everyone who receives a card
should send it in regardless of

Coach Tommy Shutt’s Eagles

Mintz made his winning dive as
the game neared its close.
Waccamaw had trailed by 18-6,

one Bolivia TD, David Cook raced
20 for another and Dick Rabon
went 15 for still another.
Then, Shutt’s crew came

Hughes ran 2 yards twice to put
the Eagles ahead, 19-18, until
