Victory Tuesday
Swansboro High's girl basketeers
notched their 11th victory Tuesday
night 53-40 at the expense of the
Morehead City Eaglettes on the
Morehead floor.
Beverly Guthrie and Mary Hewitt
teamed up for scoring chores giv
ing the Swansboro sextet a first
quarter lead of 15-10 and were
never seriously threatened by the
Eaglettes. Swansboro's record now
is 11-2.
The Eaglettes scoring duo by
Carolyn Guthrie and Polly Steed
sparked the home team through
out the game, but were always
fighting uphill. Late in the first
frame, shooting accuracy of the
Eaglettes fell off considerably and
continued to the end of the sccond
period.
The defensive Unit of Geraldine
Best, Corinne Webb, and Ann Har
dy teamed to slow the second
period to spasmodic shooting.
Geraldine Hedgecock was excep
tionally good at ball stealing.

fensive work of Wynona Carney,
Marie Higgir.s, Carol Guthrie, and
Miss Brandt broke the third period
wide open for Swansboro after
leading 24-14 at the half.

as the Eaglettes scored 16. Ann
Long, playing a fine floor game,
fouled out in the third period. Go
ing into the closing frame the vis
itors led 42-30.
The Eaglettes tried desperately
to catch the leaders in the final
frame led by Miss Guthrie and Miss
Steed, but lacked the scoring punch
provided by Miss Long.
To add to the Eaglettes' woes,
Miss Webb and Miss Hardy fouled
out followed by Geraldine Hedge
cock in the fast and furious fourth
quarter that saw Swansboro dump
in 12 points. The Eaglettes added
10 to their total.
Miss Guthrie paced the Eaglette
scoring with 19 points, Miss Long
had 15, and Miss Steed contributed
10. Leading the Swansboro attack
was Miss Hewitt with 26 followed
by Beverly Guthrie with 13 and
Miss Carney had 12.

Town Needs Change; Boys
Get Gav, Plav Nine Holes
What's happening to Morehead
City? This used to be a rollicking,
fun-loving, two-fisted town. It's so
dead around here without the tour
ists. And all the local characters
are either hibernating or in
Florida.
Sunday morning was the first
time in 35 years that there wasn't
a single soul in our jail; not even
a drunk.
People sure can be stupid and
1 can be stupider than most. When
I bought my golf equipment I was
some kind of conservative, bought
the golf clubs at a drug store and
my golf bag cost $6. Now mind
you, expensive clubs do not a golfer
make. Bill Skarren plays with a
set of old rusty irons and he can
beat the pants off most of the boys
with their $300 outfits.
Getting back to the point, Ml the
golfers carry an umbrella in their
golf bag in case it rains out there,
so they won't have to stop playing,
and I had to have an umbrella too.
Now they sell good ones at Uie
dime store for fl.M, bat no, I
had to have a real fancy Job la
bright colored stripes with *
handle that folds down and
makes a seat at $2S.
When Penny saw it in my bag
the other day she said, "Well!" So
in the doghouse again.
The other evening at the Blue
Ribbon things were a little slack
and someone dreamed up this for
amusement: golf club; ball, and a
man's hat.
The person shooting at one end
of the club and sofneone standing
at the other holding a hat. A prac
tice ball, that is just a shell of plas
tic with lots of holes in it so it
can't go far and won't hurt you, is
used.
Well anyway, we all took a belt
at this. Twas real fan too. Guess
who were the champs? Vickie
McCulaton who la deadly accurate
with * golf club, and Dick Mc
(lain, holding the hat, bat then
who could mias Dick anyway?
Played in a foursome Sunday
with a very interesting fellow
named Willie Worrell, a visiting
pro who sells golf equipment.
Willie made a fortune in the silli
est way. He made President Ike
s gift of a golf hat that our presi
dent liked and wears and now
Willi* can't get enough made to
moet the demand.
We people are funny aren't we?
I wonder why 1 can't seem to think
of money-making schemes like that
Phillip Ball and A1 Dewey cam*
out to the golf course Monday to
play a quick four holes. It was a
-beautiful day and they were having
such a good time they want around
the nine instead, so tack to the
clubhouse and the coave nation
went something like this:
the dog house now."
A1 ? "Me too. Boy am I going
to catch it when I get home. Say,
you know what? We're both go
ing to catch it anyway, what do
you say we play another nine?"
So off they went, happy in their
misery.
Used to live in Mexico years ago
and heard this one.
Tourist stopped Pedro and asked,
"Is it safe around here? I hear
that Pancho, the bandit, lives in
this vicinity. How well do you
know Pancho?"
"Do 1 know Pancho? I tell you a
story. Yesterday I am going home
with sack of rotted fish to plant
in a marijuana garden and Pancho,
very drunk on big horse, rides up
and says, 'Pedro I am going to keel
you.' So I say Pancho don't keel
me, please.
"So he pulls hecs gon out and
makes me to dance. I dance good
too. Say Gringo where you from?"
The tourist answered, "Morehead
City."
Pedro continued, "Well anyway.
I dance thees bunny hop good, so
I see Pancho is not going to keel
me, he's just having fon.
"Then he say, 'What you got in
sack Pedro?* I say nothing but rot
ten fish to plant in my garden.
Pancho laughs long and loud then
he say, 'Pedro, you eat rotten fish,
all of heem. Boy he was pretty
bad. but I don't wan to get keeled
so I eat.
"Just then Pancho's horse step in
gopher hole and threw Pancho's
gun right at my feet when Pancho
fall. I pick up gon and now I am
boss man so I make Pancho dance.
"He ain't so good as me. Then
I make Pancho eat rest of rotten
fish.
"You ask me how well I know
Pancho the bandit?" Huh! We eat
lonch together yesterday!"

(7-39 Tuesday

ball team outpointed the Atlantic
sextet in every period to garner a
67-39 win Tuesday in the Beaufort
gym.
The scoring duo of Colleen Guth
rie and Peggy Williams clicked for
22 points in the opening period,
adding 18 more in the second quar
ter to post a 40-19 halftime score.
The defensive maneuvers of
Leona Davis, Anita Copeland, and
Mary Buttrey held the Atlantic
lassies to 11 points in the first
period and allowed just eight
points to be registered in the sec
ond frame.
Emma Perry teamed with the
Beaufort defenders under the bas
ket to hold the Atlantic crew to
six points in the third period as

its total to lead 51-25 at the third ]
period stop.
Dora Willis and R. Salter, for

Morehead City-Beaufort Cage Tilt
Set for Tonight on Eagles' Floor
The time for the long-awaited
game between Beaufort and More
head City High basketball teams
has arrived. Morehead City will be
the host tonight as the teams
square away in the Morehead gym
with starting time scheduled for
8:30.
A battle royal is in store for
partisans of both teams. Each has
beaten the top team in the state
last year, Newport, by comfortable
margins.
Morehead topped the Newport
club 70-55 and Beaufort downed
the champs 60-39. Both teams split
with Pamlico County, winning one
and losing one. Camp Lejeune beat
Morehead twice. Beaufort defeated
Smyrna twice while Morehead split,
losing at home and winning at
Smyrna. Beaufort lost once to.
Camp Lejeune, 49-52.
Scores Vary
Atlantic has fallen victim to each
team twice and Newport has one
victory over Beaufort. Scores have
ranged from routs to squeakers.
Morehead City is paced by Jerry
T. Willis and Wayne Cheek, two
forwards well over the six-foot
mark. It also has an outstanding
floorman in Denny Lawrence.
Bobby Willis and J. W. Willis
provide speed and are set shot
artists. They have accounted for
vital points in many of the Eagle
wins.
The Eagles are blessed with a
deep and talented reserve. Roland
Cannon, Dalmon Lawrence, Kent
Brown, and J. W. Long can keep
the Eagles at top strength in any
situation.
Pacing the Sea Dogs is Gehr
mann Holland at guard and Mur
ray Pittman, also a guard and an
excellent floorman.
Herb Mason and Henry Safrit are
at forwards and provide the Sea
Dogs with heighth and speed. At
center is Jim Willis, a tall boy that
has been sharing scoring honors
with Holland.
The Sea Dogs do not have the
reserve strength of the Eagles,
boasting only Hugh Mason and Jim
Owens who can replace any of the
starting five in ability as well as
personally.
Both teams have improved con
Miss Robinson with 14.
Score by quarters:
Beaufort 22 40 51 67
Atlantic 11 19 25 39
?
siderably since the start of the sea
son. Beaufort pulled up to its stride
before the holidays and Morehead
reached its peak right after the
holidays.
Morehead will have the height
in Cheek and J. T. It will have
speed in J. W. and Denny Law
rence. The Sea Dogs have Jim
Willis and Holland to counter in
heighth. Pittman will vie with
Lawrence for floorwork with Safrit
and Herb Mason using their set
shot accuracy to make up for any
deficiency.
A huge crowd is expected to
watch these two teams battle for
county cage supremacy tonight and
regardless of the outcome, partisan
fans will have a field day.
From past performances records,
scores, and stars have been thrown
out the windows when these two
teams clash.
On paper, Morehead is the bet
ter-looking team but Beaufort has
real ability. So. Morehead is like
ly to come out on top in a free
scoring contest by a very slim
margin.
