Morehead Grid Team
Failed To Score In
Game With Sea-dogs
By A. R. RICE
Before the largest crowd of the
season and one of the largest assem
blages to ever witness a gridiron bat
tle in Beaufort the locals rolled up
the one-sided score of 26 to 0 over
Morehead City last Friday and this,
incidentally, was the largest margin
of victory ever recorded in a Beau-fort-Morehead
City game.
The visitors were completely out
classed in every department of the
game and never showed anything in
the way of an offensive punch. The
only wonder is that Beaufort didn't
tally twice the number of points that
it did. Morehead City made exactly
NO first downs all afternoon, a fact
n itself unprecedented.
After a slow first half that ended
with Beaufort shoving over one
touchdown, the second half found the
winners much more aggressive and
three touchdowns were recorded.
Frank Rice skirted end for 18 yards
and the first six-pointer and then
went over center for extra point,
David Beveridge hit the line from the
one for touchdown. Extra point fail

and immediate communities, and for
the nrst time persons of those sec

electric service without going to the
expense of installing a home plant,
