SporU Editor
Beaufort High School is the 1954 Carteret Coup*v Bas
ketball champion, replacing Newport, by virtue of a 50-38
win Saturday over Morehead City High at the Beaufort
gym before an overflow crowd.
The outcome wag never in doubt after the opening min
Ules 01 me second quarter- as'
Uehrmann Holland and Murray
Pitt man paced the Sea Dogs to vic
tory. The Eagles only threat came
in the fourth quarter.
The game started with both
teams playing possession ball
which made a alow-paced first
period. Both teams matched each
other point for point and at the
end of the period the score was
tied 7-7.
Maun Works Boards
Uorehead City was using a man
to man defense and Beaufort was
countering with a 2-3 lone. Wayne
Cheek was doing the rebounding
for the Eagles while Herb Mason
and Holland worked the boards for
Beaufort.
In the second period Morehead's
passing grew wild. Time and again
the ball was thrown out of bounds
or into the waiting hands of a Sea
Bog defender. Early in the period
the Sea Dogs took command of the
situation and began to pour on the
steam.
The Eagles were outscored 12 19
as Beaufort walked off the floor
leading 26-19 at halftime. More
head City had attempted 11 shots
and <cade six for 54 per cent.
Beaufort had attempted 26 from
the floor and made 11 for 42 per
cent. Both clubs together tried 37
shots from the floor in the first
half.
Cheek and Holland were con
trolling the boards with Pittman
and Denny Lawrence directing
floor play. Morehead was trying
a combination of close in shots and
set shots to break up the Beaufort
defense. But the Eagles' shooting
eye was off and instead of aiding
their cause gave the ball to Beau
fort, who was quick to take ad
vantage.
Beaufort Orate 10-Point Uid
Beaufort streaked to a 10-point
lead early in the third period, but
the Eagles rallied as Jerry T. Willis
began to hit and narrowed the gap
to seven points at the end of the
period, 34-27.
In the fourth period's opening
minutes Morehead whittled away at
Beaufort's lead, paced by ;'Boncs"
Willis, and crept to within three
points. 36-33. The Sea Dogs quick
ly rallied behind Holland and Pitt
man and a minute later led 43-35.
The Sea Dogs hit seven points
in the final minute as the Eagles
dumped in three to lose the final
game of the tourney.
Holland led the Sea Dogs with 15
points followed by Pittman with
11, Ilerb Mason with nine, Jim
Willis with seven, and Hugh Mason
with eight. "Bones" Willis led the
Eagles with 19 points followed by
Cheek with nine, Denny Lawrence
with five, Bobby Willis with three,
and Jerry W. Willis with two.
Following the Beaufort win the
net was ripped from the Beaufort
goal and strung around Holland's
neck. The team rushed over in a
, body and lifted Coach Tom Mc
Quaid to their shoulders and car
ried him to the dressing room.
Eagles Gain Finals 61-50
Employing a semi-freeze in the
final six minutes of Friday's semi
finals of the county cage tourney,
Morehead City High Eagles
grabbed a well-desCTved 61-50 win
over a red-hot and surprisingly
strong Smyrna Five.
Smyrna, driving hard on the
Eagles' heels throughout the game,
had crept to within five points of
the Ragles, 43-38, at the close of
the third period. Coach Gannon
Talbert's charges then elected to
use the freeie to insure victory.
Working the unfamiliar tactic to
perfection, the Eagles increased
their lead to 11 points by surging
to the bucket for quick goals.
Smyrna tried to full press the
ball away from the Eagles in the
final 30 seconds, but it was too late.
Pacing the Eagles to the win were
Jerry W. Willis with 19, Denny
Lawrence had 16, and Jerry T.
Willie contributed 14 points. Roy
Styron took scoring honors for
Smyrna with 14 points, followed by
Walker Gillikin and Guion Simpson
with 10 each.
Smyrna jumped to a 3-2 lead in
tho. first period, but saw it disap
pea? as Wayne Cheek and "Bones"
Willis took control of the boards
for a 4-3 lead, then Smyrna tied
it 4-4. The Eagles went ahead 5-4
only to see Smyrna tie again 6-6.
The lead continued to switch hands
until, with a minute left, the score
stood 11-11. Smyrna broke the tie
12-11 as the Eagles hit a bucket
to go ahead 13 12 and from then
on out, Smyrna was fighting an up
hill battle.
The first period ended with
Morehead ahead 17-13 as Gillikin
and Jack Davis vied with Cheek
and J. T. Willis for rebounds. The
Eagles kept control in the second
period to outseore Smyrna 14-11 as
Jack Davis fouled out. The Eagles
led at the half 31-24. As the battle
resumed, Smyrna crept up to with
in three points of the Eagles 33-30.
But the Eagles pulled themselves
together and poured in six straight
points to lead 38-31 as the period
entered the final two minutes.
Smyna hit seven points to the
Eagles four threatening Main,
43-38, ||^ setting the staged** 'he
freeze.
Beaufort Tops Newport 49-38

second and third periods Thursday
to eliminate last year's county
champs from further play as it

Major League
Clubs Invade
Florida Camps
By FRANK EC*
AP Newsfealures Sports Editor
New York ? If baseball brings
business then Florida is in for a
terrific spring boom.
Twelve of the 16 big league
teams will make their spring train
ing camps in 10 Florida cities, a
departure from previous years.
Tampa, in effect, will take on the
atmosphere of a two-team major
league city in that National and !
American League teams will train
in the west coast cigar city on
Tampa Bay.
The Cincinnati Redlegs will be
back and they are welcoming the
Chicago Whitesox with open arms.
When one team is traveling the
other will use Plant Field for
exhibition games. Thus, from
March 6 through early April, Tam
pa will see games between major
league teams practically every day.
The White Sox are going to Flor
ida after 18 seasons in Pasadena,
Calif. General Manager Frank Lane
feels it will give his Chisox a better
chance to dethrone the world
champion Yankees, for his switch
in training headquarters means
less traveling and more action
against rivals from both leagues,
[not to mention money and climate.
St Petersburg is Florida^ othflf
city with two teams. The city where
they give away newspapers if it
rains after noon will again have
the Yankees and St. Louis Cardin
als.
This spring a new city enters the
picture, for the Pittsburgh Pir
ates will set up camp at Fort
Pierce, between Vero Beach and
Palm Beach on the east coast. The
Pirates last were in the Sunshine
State in 1946 when they trained
at Miami Beach. Last year Branch
Rickey took his team to Havana
where is was difficult to bring
teams except by air. As a result
the Pirates played only two big
league exhibitions in Cuba and two
in Jacksonville.
Si* teams in each league will
train in Florida. Besides the fied
leg?. Cardinals and Pirates there
will be the Milwaukee Braves at
Bradenton, the Philadelphia Phil
lies at Clearwater and the Brook
lyn Dodgers from the National
League.
The champion Dodgers, pluto
crat! in the spring and beaten by
the Yankees in the fall, again will
open camp at Vero Beach, Feb
24 and leave for Miami on March
6 to play the first of 12 exhibition
games in effervescent Miami Sta
dium. Six of the games are at
night. Between March 15 and 24
they will play four day games at
Vero Beach in a park opened last
spring.
Other American League teams
in Florida besides the Yankees and
White Sox are the Washington Sen
ators at Orlando, Philadelphia Ath
letics at West Palm Beach, Bos
ton Red Sox at Sarasota, and De
troit Tigers at Lakeland in the
peninaula's center.
The majors' four other clubs
will train in Ariiona. They are
the Cleveland Indiana at Tucson,
Baltimore Orioles at Yuma, New
York Giants in Phoenix and the
Chicago ^ubt in Men.
Two Mon Charged With
Violating Game law
Lester Babbitt, Davis, and Jack i
Lynch. Smyrna, will appear in |
County Recorder's Ceurt, Beaufort,
this morning to answer to a charge
1 attempting to take deer by using
artificial llfht.
The two were apprehended by
game wardens Friday night in the
vieinity of the Core Creek bridge. <
