whose passes once more were the
major threat in the Dolphin of

The lone Dixon touchdown came
in the fourth quarter following a
sustained drive of 65-yards. Bill
Banks carried the ball across the
goal, a fitting reward for his
talented efforts to keep the march
going. Ronnie Henderson ran suc
cessfully for the extra point.
Spencer got the show on the
road in the first period when he
took a 20-yard pass from Murphy
at the Dixon forty and scored go

yards and came after the alert ]
Dolphin defense had recovered a
Dixon fumble on their own 40
yard line. Garner ran successfully
for the point.
That was all for the first quar
ter, but in the second Garner
ran 15-yards to score after a 25
yard completion from Murphy to
Spencer had set up the touch
down. A running try for extra
point failed. The flashy sophomore
added another touchdown on a
nmning play before the half, this
one good for 25-yards. Southport
took too much time as they lined
up for the extra point try and
were penalized 5 yards for delay
of game. This didn’t stop them,
for Rip Howard, freshman under
study for Murphy, passed to
Spencer in the end zone for the
point that made the score 20-0 at
halftime.
Southport took the second-half
kick-off and marched down to
the Dixon 16-yard line before los
ing the ball on downs. Then on
the first play from that point the
visitors fumbled and Southport re
sumed their touchdown march. In
fact, it came on one giant stride
on the next play as Garner ran
wide to his right to score stand
ing up. Howard missed a running
try for extra point.
Murphy intercepted a ricochet
ted pass at the Dixon 37-yard
line near the close of the third
period and four plays after the
final quarter began Spencer scor
ed on a 5-yard crossbuck. Michael
Hardee, one of the “Untouch
ables”, who were being used on
all extra point tries .after the first
two, fell shy of the goal on a
running try.
This left the score 31-0, but
Dixon showed that it still had
a will to win and some good foot
ball players to carry it out when
they took the kick-off' and never
gave up the ball until Banks
made their touchdown.
The Dolphins, too, had one more
ace up their sleeve—a homerun
pass play from Murphy to Gar
ner. From midfield the Dolphin
lefty hit his fast-moving target,
and the final score was on the
board. Mighty Mike Lee was
stopped short as he ran for the
extra point.
Serving as co-captams for this
game were the seniors, Frankie
Rogers, Bill Coring, Mike Patter
son ai.d James Huestess, along
with Freddie Spencer, and Mur
phy.
The four seniors have been
mainstays on the Dolphin team
this year, with Rogers being a
standout in every game on de
fense. Patterson has been parti
cularly strong on his kicking cov
erage from his end position. Hues
tess has been the scatback of the
Southport offense, and had the
best game of his Career Friday
night. Coring started off as the
fullback, but made a necessary
switch to tackle when personnel
problems came up at midseason.
Spencer played well at end until
scholastic difficulties got him ear
lier this month.
It was another night when
Coach Pete Lee's starters got lit
tle relief. Wade Beard, freshman
lineman who has turned out to be
a valuable man, went in several
times for various members of the
forward wall. Ed Harper and
Stacy Sellers, another pair of
first year men, turned in good
performances; as did tough little
Bubba Rogers, smallest regular
on the field. Jimmie Garner had
another one of his good nights
at guard.
For the visitors, Banks stood
out both on offense and defense,
and may be the best visiting play
er seen here this season.

Can You Sleep?
By DR. ROGER W. PRICE
When you get to bed at night, can you sleep,
or do you spend an evening tossing to and fro,
yawning, counting sheep and yet find it im
possible to sleep?
Sleeplessness may be caused by a number of different things. Essentially
it is the congestion of blood around the brain, which makes it overactive.
If you are trouble with this condition, it would be wise to find out what
Modern Chiropractic can do for you. After a careful examination, the Chiro
practic Doctor will find out what is wrong with your nervous system. Modern
Chiropractic treatment has been highly successful in normalizing blood circu
lation, and relieving congestion of the blood vessels of the brain.

The 82nd Airborne Division Band
Adds Color To Homecoming Event
Miss Judy McKeithan was
crowned Homecoming Queen
at half-time ceremonies at the
Southport-Dixon football
game here Friday night, fea
turing the performance of the
82nd Airborne Division Band
from Fort Bragg.
The band, 42 members strong,
under command of Chief Warrant
Officer Jerald T. Winters and
led on the field by Drum Major
Master Sergeant Emanuel Plum
mer, escorted the contestants for
the 1961 Homecoming Queen on
to the field, to the tune of “The
Blackjack March’’. Shaaron Grant,
last year’s Homecoming Queen
was in the first convertible, fol
lowed by Brenda Wilkes, Judy
McKeithan, Jean Gilbert, Donna
Prevatte and Ellen Newell in
other convertibles, with the cheer
leaders following.
The contestants for Homecom
ing Queen were met in front of
the stands by the entire Dolphin
football team where Miss Grant
greeted this year’s Homecoming
Queen, Miss McKeithan, for the
crowning ceremonies.
After the queen and her court
had left the field, the 82nd Air
borne Division Band put on an
impressive program of tunes and
marching maneuvers that thrilled
every person in the large crowd
of spectators. Their first maneu
ver was the “Basket Weave”,
while playing “When The Saints
Come Marching In”. Next the
band marched over to the Dixon
side of the field and gave a
musical salute to the visitors,
then reversed the field with an
intricate march called the “Cork
screw”, which, when completed,
left the band facing the South
port bench for their musical
salute to the home team. The
band then concluded with a snap
py series of squad and company
front drill maneuvers and left
the field in true Airborne spirit—
at a double time pace—while play
ing the 82nd Airborne Division
theme song, “The American Sol
dier”.
The band boarded their special

their 1961 gridiron season here,
Thursday, Nov. 2, in a Border

7:30 p. m.
The game, originally booked
for Friday, Nov. 3, was moved up
to Thursday by mutual consent
of both teams’ officials.
Hallsboro will be favored in
the contest, because of their
higher standing in the loop at
present. But, the Bears will be
tough to handle, it is anticipated,
because of play on their home lot.
