Hants Boat Moved
Commissioner Morris said that
Tommy Kussell, owner of the
beached and dilapidated boat, Hat

would be possible to have the fire
men burn it up.

the boat was too close to a build
ing on the west. No decision was
made.
Commissioner D. J. Hall said that
an improved lot next to Ed Weeks,
Noyes Avenue, was grown up in
weeds and harbored rattle snakes
He wanted to know if the owner of
the lot could be made to cut them
down. The town has an ordinance
about weeds in vacant lots but the
board didn't know what to do about
a lot that had a house on it with
people living in the house. No ac
tion was taken.
The town attorney presented the
deed to the town for the new fire
station property. It has been trans

abandoned as a fire station site, it

Lea( Bluemold Occurs
In County South of Here
A serious bluemold outbreak has
occurred 4n the tobacco beds of
Columbus County on a farm about
six miles north of WhiteviUe.
R. M Williams, county agent,
yesterday urged Carteret tobacco
farmers to treat their beds with
fermate or other fungicides which
prevent bluemold.
Semi-Finals
(Continued from Page 3)
with 25 seconds left Holland sank
two free throws to give the Seadogs
an 18-15 lead at the end of the
quarter.
Holland had 13 points in the first
quarter as the White Phantoms at
tempted to use a man-to-man de
fen*.'
The second quarter saw the Sea
dogs go on a real spree which
threatened to bust the game wide
open as they extended their advan
tage to 26-19 at 5:15 of the quarter.
At that point the White Phantoms
switched their defense to a zone
and the score started to tighten up.
though Beaufort still held a five
point lead at 3:32, 28-23.
Wiggin hit for four points in the
last two and a half minutes of the
quarter on a tip-in and a book ahot
and Alford scored on a push shot
for the Youngsville quintet while
Jimmy Davis made a layup and
Mason one free throw out of three
attempts for the Seadogs. At the
half Beaufort had a narrow two
point margin, 31-29.
Wiggin tied the score to start the
third quarter's scoring at 7:38 and
then after the Seadogs had gone
ahead in the quarter by a 41-35
score at the 3:33 mark, the White
Phantoms put together buckets by
Doug Chalk, Lindsey, and a pair of
free throws by Wiggin to knot the
?core at 41 with 36 seconda left in
the canto. Holland made good on a
pair of free throws with 9 seconds
left and the Seadogs kept their
lead at the end of the quarter at
43-41.
The final quarter saw both teams
exchanging buckets until at the end
of regulation time, the icore was
knotted at 46. The score was tied
three other times in the final canto
at 43. 45, and 47.
With eight seconda left in the
quarter, Herb Mason took a shot
for the Seadogs and missed, and
with but two seconds remaining
Chalk took a push shot for the
White Phantoms which 'also hit off
the rim.
In the three minate overtime
? Newport, led by Billy Widgeon,
now an Atlantic Christian College
star, won the 1953 State Class A
t hampionship ? but the final game
was never played.
St. Stephens, scheduled to meet
, Newport the last night of the tour
ney at Hanes High in Winston
Salem, had to default because state
athletic rules decreed ttoat a team
could play only three games a
>veek.
St. Stephens had played in the
Catawba County tournament Wed
nesday of the state championship
week, and played both Thursday
and Friday in the state playoffs,
thus reaching their game limit.
Pilot Knocked Out
In the opening game of the 1953
state playoffs, Newport downed Pi
lot 5844, coming from behind to
win. Newport's star- scorers were
Widgeon 22. Lloyd Culpepper 12,
Sidney Manning 10, and Hoy Den
nis 12.
On four free throws by Widgeon.
Newport downed a favored Haw
River 64-60 in the final minute of
play in the semi-finals. Haw River
led throughout and in the last min
ute. Eagle Eye Widgeon iced it for
Newport at the lice throw line.
Widgeon and Manning were top
scorers, 22 and 19 respectively.
Newport rode on a crest of dis
trict playoff victories in to the
State CJass A finals two years ago.
In tfie first game of the district 2
playoffs at Kenansville, the New
port boys, under the able coaching
of Wayne Benton, tallied a 55-40
victory over Snow Hill.
In the semi-finals Newport down
ed Chadbourn by a wide margin,
60-37, and in the district champion
ship game, the Carteret cagers
walloped Jones Central 62-53.
Dumped in 34
Widgeon tallied the phenomenal
individual scoring record of 34
points. Manning dumped in 12,
Culpepper 9 and Dennis 7.
THE NEWS TIMES sports re
porter wrote: "Billy Widgeon put
on a performance that had the
Jones Central fans talking to them
selves. He seemed to be able to
hit from any angle and just about
at will. He could have been all
alone on the floor for all anybody
could do to stop him."
? And that's the story of Car
teret's stellar state championship
team of 1953.
Davis missed a pair of free throws
at 2:26 of the period and then at
2:21 Holland scored on a layup to
put the Seadogs back in the lead
51-49. Jerry Mitchell tied the count
at 1:53 and with 1:23 remaining
Davis converted a pair at the free
tjjrow line and the Seadogs were
tank in business 53-51, only to see
Wiggin tie the contest at 53 with 38
seconds remaining in the game.
The Seadogs took the bal] into
play and froze it until there were
four seconds left and then Pittman
let loose with one of his specialty
one-hand push shots from just out
side the key and the Seadogs had
the victory 55-53.
Gehrmann Holland and Winston
Wiggin tied for high scoring hon
ors. They each hit for 25 points
tor their respective teams.
Monk Pittman, the Seadog hero
of the night, also hit in double fig
ures with 13 points.
It was a hard-fought contest and
marked the first time this year that
Beaufort had been outscored *rom
the floor. The White Phantoms
made 24 field goals to only 20 for
Beaufort but at the free throw line
the Seadogs made 15 of 22 as
against only 5 of 8 by Youngsville.

Beaufort claimed the district
crown 'In the finals by downing
Wallace 47-38. The Seadogs left
the court at halftime with a 21-15
lead.
THE NEWS-TIMES sports scribe
recorded, "Pittman played superb
offensive and defensive ball as did
Jimmy Willis and Holland . . .
Coach Tom Mc^uaid's charges
looked every inch a championship
team as they congratulated the los
ing team for a good game."
The state class A championship

Carteret champs a lot of trmd^e
because the Seadoga couldn't get

Odell also put up a terrific allow
