Morehead Set for Newport Clash
Tonight; Beaufort Tries Swansboro
Morehead City High gagers will4
attempt to make it two in a row
over Newport tonight when these
two teams clash on the Newport
hardwood. Game time is 8:30.
Morehead halted the Newport
win streak of 15 games Jan. 15.
Newport lost to the underdogs
70-55 on the Eagles' court.
Newport since has dropped two
games, one to Beauiort and one to
Pamlico County. The Eagles topped
Beaufort, Smyrna, and Swansboro,
losing to Camp Lejeune.
Heading the Eagles that have
fashioned a new winning streak of
two games, is Wayne Cheek, Jerrv
T. Willis, and Denny Lawrence.
These boys accounted tor the New
port defeat.
Manning Heads Newport
Newport boasts Sidney Manning,
Haclan Carraway, and Eugene Ed- j
wards, the top point getters for
last year's state champs. Levy j
Lilly and Sheldon Howard round <
out the probable starting five for
Newport.
Completing the starting crew for '
the Eagles will be Bobby Willis
and Jerry W. Willis. The Eagles
will be counting on the speed and
height of their forwards to wrest
the second victory from Newport.
Newport will have the added ad
vantage of its home floor tonight
and Manning and Company are re
ported in tip-top shape for the to
night's clash.
The odds are favoring the Eagles
tonight in spite of the road game.
Too much speed and height on the
Eagles part. Morehead will come
out top again, but not by 15 '
points.
Other cage action tonight finds j
Beaufort travelling to Swansboro.
After the Morehead City loss Beau- i
fort has been able to dust off Jones
Central and looks forward to mak 1
ing Swansboro next before meet
ing the Eagles in a return engage
ment
Swansboro Tough at Home
Swansboro has proven mighty
tough on its home court. Camp
Lejeune will testify to that. Beau
fort has a classy aggregation
topped by Gehrmann Holland and
Murray Pittman. These two stellar
players give the Sea Dogs too much
speed for Swansboro if the Sea
Dogs get the hang of the Swans
boro gym before its too late.
Dixon comes to Smyrna in an
other conference game slated for
Carteret County. Dixon hasn't been
doing well and shouldn't be much
trouble for Walker Gillikin and
Company on their home floor.
Camp Lejeune, currently lead
ing the Seashore Conference,
travels to Pamlico County. The
Devilpups have too much court
savvy for the home teams, led by
Bobbie Peele, Charlie Sells, and
Bob Royster.

Anglers Plan
Five-Year Trip
New York Lou Marron is going
big-game fishing in a big way. Soon
he will leave on a five-year expe
dition to the South Pacific.
But the jaunt will be more than
just an extended fishing trip. Lou,
one of the world's foremost deep
sea anglers, will be accompanied
by marine experts from the Univer
sity of Miami.
The researchers will study the
life cycles of the largest fish,
breeding habits, general physiology
and food sources.
Their vessel, "The Explorer," is
40 feet long.
The two scientists from Miami
are Dr. F. G. Walton Smith, direc
tor of the university's marine la
boratory, and Dr. Luis Rivas, uni
versity icthyologist.
Marron claims the world's rec
ord for broadbill swordfish ? a 1,
182 pounder taken on a 39 thread
line off the coast of Chile on May
7, 1953. For the past three years
he has been a member of the U. S.
team in the International Tuna
matches.
Assisting Lou and the university
experts will be Mrs. Marron. a
distinguished sportswwoman who
has won many fishing trophies.
In late March the "Explorer" will
start working off the coast of
Chile for research on broadbill,
swordfish, marlin and tuna.

tournament were Bill Skarren
first, Virgil Jenkins second and
Philip Ball third in the men's
division; Mrs. Grady Rich first,

Athletic Evils
Minor, Asserts
College Prexy
San Antonio, Tex. ? (AP)
Dr. Wilson Elkins, president of
Texas Western College, says he j
asks critics two questions when he j
hears talk regarding the evils of
college athletics. He asks:
1. Does the college athletic pro- 1
gram hurt the academic program, !
the heart of college existence?
2. What happens to the boys
j who play college athletics, partic
ularly football?
"1 have yet to hear that the
college academic program has been
hurt and in the case of the boys
who played, 1 have taken the
trouble to check extensively and
have found that they do just about
as well as any others," says Dr.
Elkins.
Dr Elkins told a Quarterback
Club here that he is convinced that
abuses are minor in relation to the
great advantages of college sports
and that associations and connec
tions that men make in college
sports can be of great value to
them throughout their lives.
Chimed in Mike Brumbelow,
football coach at Texas Western:
"There's no misunderstanding at
our place about who runs the col
lege. I remember when I first
arrived 1 was horrified, as an old
Texas Christian University boy,
to find that Texas Western, being
a branch of the University of Tex
as, had the same school colors and
sang the same school song, "The
Eyes of Texas.' "
"I even got up nerve one day
to suggest to Dr. Elkins that the
colors and song be changed, lie
let me know without hesitation
that is would be wiser and easier
to change the head football coach,
so we have understood each oth
er perfectly ever since."
Blood Record
Ashland, Ky. (AP) Physicians
estimate that Kelly T. Berger, 49,
has donated more than 10 times
his normal supply of blood. Since
he began keeping track of dona
tions in May, 1931, the husky chief
of guards at an industrial plant
has given 100 pints. In recent
months Berger has had a special
reason: A son, Kelly Jr., an Army
officer, has been serving in Korea.

New Scoring Record Set
As Knights Down Burgaw
Queen Street High cagers set a
new scoring record Tuesday as they
trampled Burgaw 87-48 with Bill
White paving the way with 20
points to lead all scorers.
Queen Street came from behind
in the second quarter to go ahead
by 10 points, 37-27 at the half after
trailing 14-15 at the end of the
first period.
The Black Knights continued
pouring it on in the third period
scoring 20 points to Burgaw's eight.
A 30 point fourth quarter gave the
Knights their eighth win of the
season against four losses.
Following White in the scoring
columns was John Jones with 19;
Matthew Godette, Ray Ellison, and
Allen Murray with 10 each. Out
standing defensive player for the
Knights was Bill Jordan.
George Wilson paced Burgaw
with 14 points. He was ejected
from the game in the third quarter
for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The old record was eighty points
sets by the 1949 edition of the
Knights when they beat West Street
of New Bern 80-27. Queen Street
was host to Georgetown of Jack
sonville yesterday.
Josephine Pasteur, stellar for
ward of the Queen Street girls,
paced Queen Street lassies to their
third win of the season over Bur
gaw 32-16 Tuesday.
She led the field with IS points.
She was followed by Bea Dudley
with 11. Geraldine James led
Burgaw with six points.
The Queen Street girls fought
to a 7-4 first period le?d, then
saw it melt during the second
quarter as Burgaw gained control
of the ball. The Knights gals had
enough punch left to walk off the
floor leading 11-10 at halftime.
A third period comeback, led by
Jo Pasteur, gave Queen Street a
21-14 bulge in the third period.
Scoring 11 points in the final frame
gave the win to Queen Street las
sies.
Defensive standouts for Queen
Street were Mary Frazier and
Mary Pickett.
Scores by quarters:
Q. Street (Boys) 14 37 57 87
Burgaw 15 27 35 48

Little Coretta Thompson
Put Dennis in the Shade
You know Dennis the Menace
is the big rage at the moment and
justly so. It's a great idea and a
great cartoon. However, I heard a
story the other day about a local
gal that puts all the Dennis stories
to shame, and this is the way it
goes.
Coretta Cherry, that beautiful
Glamour Gal wife of one of our
more illustrious characters, Bill
Cherry, and daughter of Dr. Sam
Thompson, when about 5 years old
was playing with the gang, then
comprised of about 14 neighbor
hood boys.
Coretta was the only girl allowed,
for the simple reason she was quite
a tomboy in those days and the
only girl in the whole neighbor
hood. Well anyway, they were
playing Pirates.
So naturally the play got
around to buried treasure, and
Coretta was delegated to dig up
the treasure or she couldn't play.
Now the treasure in this case was
Mrs. Thompson's jewel box, re
splendent with diamonds, watch
es and assorted trinkets.
Thi* band of pirates buried the
treasure all right, they even drew
a map, but someone got fouled up
on their calculations and to this
day the treasure has never been
found, but is still buried some
where in the neighborhood. Won
der how much a good shovel costs?
Spring must be just around the
corner because the waterfont is
waking Up. Captain Hubert Ful
cher is hammering away putting a
flying bridge on his sport fishing
boat, Blue Water. 'Twon't be long
now 'till the tourists will b" mill
ing around like confused sheep
staring at the fish on the racks
all up and down the waterfront.
1 see the tackle shop across
from Captain Tony's is getting
a new front and a general face
lifting. You know it's exciting
to think about all the activity
that's coming with Spring, but
isn't it so nice and peaceful here
now.
Harold Simpson bought a brand
new green golf jacket at the club
house, so when he came in after
playing a round, we asked him did
his jacket help his score any. His
exact words were, "If you'll give
me $3.50 for it you can have it."
P. S., he just paid $13.50 for it
two hours before.
His partner, Charlie Davis, said,
"It will take more than a new
jacket to do him any good."
1 saw Robert Seamon and Ted
Garner playing a round the other
day. Now we need to get Captain
Tony out there and we will really
have something.
Fellow said, "Gee, I fee! rough
today." Friend asked, '"Did you
get drunk last night?" Fellow,
"Sure, but when I went to bed
last night I felt the best, and
when I woke up this morning I
felt terrible. Must have been the
sleep that did it."
Cage Results Unavailable
Results of Newport, Atlantic
and Beaufort boys' basketball
tilts on Tuesday weren't report
ed by those schools In time for
today's issue. If possible, they
will be carried Tuesday.
