He has scored nine of the Eagles' eleven touch downs. He was slightly injured in the Farmville game and may not be quite so effective against Beaufort, i Coach John Evans will be pin ning most of his hopes on little Billy Eudy who has provided most of the ark in the Sea Dogs' back field. his running has been one of the few bright spots in the Beau fort football picture this season. Eudy also has shown that he is i afraid of nobody when it comes to i defensive play. Last week, he re- j peatedly stopped Paul Williams, ! Hertford's big fullback. He may be I the one to stop Kemp Wickizer's rushes. Wallace Conner also may prove troublesome to the Eagles. He is capable of driving for long gains if the Sea Dogs' .forward wall blocks for him.
