State All-Star Court Tiff Set
Saturday at Raleigh's Coliseum
ndHMgn ? me second-annual
Southern Conference All-Star game,
pitting a select group of 10 con
ference seniors against North Car
olina State's .championship squad,
will be played tomorrow night at
Reynolds coliseum.
Coach Tom Scott of the Univer
sity of North Carolina has accept
ed the task of putting together an
effective combination from the
all-star group and will inaugurate
practice sessions at Chapel Hill on
Thursday afternoon.
Players from eight conference
schools have already been selected
on the all-star squad. They in
clude center Alton McCotter and
forward Stan Najeway of Wake
Forest, guard Charlie Thorne and
forward Hugo Kappler of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, center
Tex Tilson of Virginia Tech, for
ward Art Cerra of George Wash
ington, and guard Scotty York,
captain of Duke's Blue Devils who
lost to State in the finals of the
Southern Conference tournament.
Also included on the all-star
crew are South Carolina's Jim
Slaughter, Ed McMillan of Wil
liam and Mary, and Fred Henge
veld of Davidson.
Last year State downed the All
Star squad 84-61 before a crowd
of 8.000 at the coliseum. All-Amer
ican forward Sam Ranzino led scor
ing with 23 points. Ranzino re
turns for a second crack at the All
Stars this year and could easily
be the big gun in the game. In
32 contests this season Ranzino has
scored 675 points, averaging above
20 tallies per outing. He is a lead
ing candidate for All-American
honors.
The All-Stars will have a bevy
of high scorers to toss against the
Wolfpack. Tilson of Virginia Tech
scored 589 markers during the sea
son for a 20 point average per
game. He is expected to be one of
State's biggest problems. Virginia
Tech's pivot ace is a great hook
shot and one of the finest rebound
artists in the circuit
Other season scoring averages
for the Stars include 17.8 per game
by Ccrra and 19.5 by McCotter.
Center Slaughter of the Game
cocks finished the season as the
nation's fifth ranking scorer with
a 23 point average per game. Mc
Millan was named to the first all
tournament team and had a sea
son's mark of 20.

Contact Drills

Daniels Shines on Line
Morehead City's rookie gridders
received their first contact ses
sions Wednesday afternoon as
Coach Charles Hester issued full
equipment. The slogan for the
brisk workout was drive, drive,
drive.
Calling his newcomers togeth
er, Coach Hester warned that there |
would be "no more messin'
around." "Anybody who wants to
hold his uniform will have . to |
show me something."
Accordingly, the boys went I
through a series of rocking, bicyc-j
ling, and duckwalking exercises,
followed by a stiff tackling drill.
"Hit 'em hard, boys," Hester bel
lowed, "Let's hear those pads pop!"
With Henry Scott over the ball,
a special backfield of Bob Willis,
quarter, halfs Hal Willis and Jer
ry Conner, and fullback Bob Bass
ran plays through the tackles,
guards, and around right end.
Quarterback Bob handled the T
formation like a veteran, while
speedy Conner and elusive Hal
Willis showed plenty of drive.
Defensively slight Junior Dan
iels was all over. Time after
time the scrappy mixer diagnosed
the plays and spilled runners. He
definitely established himself as
a comer, and will bear plenty of
watching in the future.
Later, with Bob Willis booting,
Conner, Hal Willis, and little Bud
dy Russell brought back punts
against on-rushing ends. A snap
py blocking drill followed, and
start and stop sprints ended the
day'si activity
Tuesday the squad, minus uni-|
forms, worked in small groups, tu
tored chiefly by last year's veter
ans. First Bob Willis, then Bass,
lettermen Strug Steed, and Mick
ey Woolard fired passes to various
receivers.
The speedy rookie backfield,
comprised of Bob and Hal Willis,
Conner, and fullback Buster Toms,
ran plays, while Woolard and
Steed took turns punting. New
linemen received pointers on block
ing fundamentals.

A heavy scoring Beaufort Ter
ror five, sparked by Jumpin' Jim
Fodrie, found the cords to their
liking in hitting the century mark
while dumping Smyrna 101-81 in
an independent game Monday night
at Beaufort.
Beaufort poured 46 field goals
through the nets during the high
storing contest, while The Night
Raiders were hitting for 39 fielders.
Deadly from inside and out, Fod
rie set a torrid pace in all quarters
in swishing 44 markers through the
hoop. Teammates Frank Langdale,
who garnered 21 tallies, Harry
Davis with 17, and Clifton Lynch
with 13, backed up their scoring
ace in excellent fashion.
Smyrna fielded a well-balanced
aggregation in which five players
hit for double figures. Center Les
ter Davis and guard Ace Harris
tallied 21 and 20 points respective
ly, while forwards Chuck Hill and
D. C. Lewis chipped in 14 and 12
markers.
The Terrors, as usual, got off to
a quick start, battled on even
terms with the Night Raiders in
the second and third quarters, and
closed in fast to rake in the victory.
Before Smyrna could dent the
cords, Fodrie, hitting from all ang
les, gave Beaufort an 8 point lead
which they never relinquished.
Davis and Lynch followed with a
series of jump and layup shots to
move the Terrors into a command
ing 24-7 first quarter score.
Langdale collected 2 quick buck
ets before the second quarter was
a minute old. Then the Raiders
opened up. Lester Davis took
Hall's place, and immediately rang
up 9 tallies on a combination of
hook and drive in shots to bring
his teammates back into the ball
game at the half.
In the third quarter, center
Lynch threw in four quick hooks
before collecting his fifth foul.
Guard Davis also left the contest
due to a sprained ankle, but not
before he had hung up 17 big tal
lies.
Again it was big guns Fodrie, hit
ting the hoops for 16, and Langdale
collecting 10, in the final frame.
Julian Austin showed some fancy
dribbling bringing the ball downi
time after time by himself.
And to end the game, guard
A. C. Blankenship arched an all
important long one from outside
with six seconds remaining to pull
the Terrors just over the one hun
dred mark.

Artesia Defeats
Queen St 61-49
Queen Street school, Beaufort,
was eliminated from the Eastern
Class B basketball tournament
when a second half spurt by Ar
tesia downed the Knights, 61-49
Tuesday night at Fayetteville.
It was Dunkin' Doug Fulford,
lanky Knight center and forward
Leland Huck who kept the Knights
in the game up to the final period.
Then, with the pressure on, the
tired fiva of Coach S. H. Barrow
withered in the face of Artesia's
driving game.
Fulford with 14 markers led
Queen Street scoring, while Huck
found the range for 11. Forward
Floyd Hill whipped in 0 tallies,
most of them coming in the first
half when both squads were match
ing bucket for bucket. Guards
Clark Windley and Don Bell tallied
4 points apiece.
Substitutes John Tyson, Dick
Tootle. Bill Jordan, and Don Stan
ley garnered the remaining team
points.
Town Board

parking regulation hurts his busi
ness.
If the road bed were in better
condition, the commissioners felt
it may not be necessary to continue
the no parking order.
Because Beaufort Cannery in
stalled its own sewage lines in
1948, the town, in July of that
year allowed a credit of $107 per
year for five years, making up the
total cost of the sewage work, $535.
The commissioners denied the re
quest for allowing the credit to be
deducted in its entirety now, speci
fying that it should be done at the
rate of $107 per year as agreed ? *

Eagle Throwers
Feature Speed
Old standby, Hal Deibert, fresh
man Walt Thomas, and Don Coates
were joined Wednesday by new
comer Harry Fitzpatrick as Eagle
pitchers worked out in pre-season
battery drills.
All four righthanders looked in
exceptionally fine shape for early
drills, as they poured an assort
ment of fastballs, curves, hooks,
and drops into veteran receiver
Mitchell Burge. Each hurler work
ed with the catcher separately.
Burge, a four year letterman,
handled the big mitt like a first
baseman as he deftly pulled high,
low and outside throws in. Ac
cording to the well-seasoned mask
man, his arm never felt better.
"I'm throwing the best I ever
have," he shouted, whipping the
ball back to the pitcher.
Deibert, another lad with con
siderable savvy, won five games
last season He concentrated on
control ? "putting the apple down
the middle."
Coach Gannon Talbert, watching
attentively, remarked, "My, don't
those boys look good!"

Sea Dog Diamond Squad
Begins Practice Monday
Baseballs will be flying about
the Beaufort bailiwick beginning
Monday as Coach Tom McQuaid's
Sea Dog diamondmen open prac
tice for the coming campaign.
Coach McQuaid would like to get
his nine off to a flying start and
compensate for last season's poor
record which included three wins
and five losses.
And he has plenty of material to
do the rebuilding job. A complete
roster of veterans will be on hand
for first practice.
Though the squad is well sea
soned, particular strength and ex
perience is found in the battery
men and the infield.
Pitchers back from last year are
righthanded flingers Clyde Owens
and Don Dudley, with B. G. O'Neal
again behind the plate.
Infield standouts are stocky
lefthanded swinger Lewis Woodard
playing first, Billy Eudy around
the keystone sack, John Lynch at
the hot corner, and Jim Parkins,
shortstop.
In the outfield, Jim Modlin and I
Ed Powell will vie for starting as
