single point.

Surveying the Scene
with Hal Shapiro
? A farce, as far as basketball tournaments are concerned, the Sea
shore Conference tourney finally came to an end Friday night with the
Morehead City Eagles the victors.
With all spectators at the contests Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, the most-asked question was, "What do they have this tourna
ment for?"
It's a good question and' needs a reply.
We've been told that it enables the teams that are left out of coun
ty tourneys and district playoffs a last opportunity to play. But what
does the tourney prove?
The season ended with Newport the conference champions. The
Hawks went on to win the Carteret County tourney and then went to
Kenansville. Camp Lejeune won the Onslow County title and they
too went to Kenansville.
Neither of the county titleholdcrs was able to win at the district
playoffs and the season should have ended right there.
It didn't though, since the Conference Tourney was played last
week.
The tournament started off on the wrong foot when White Oak,
the team closest to Swansboro, arrived a half hour late to start the
first game of a four-game schedule for the evening Wednesday night.
The final game didn't start until 10:30 and ended just before mid
night, and I can assure you that the fans who stayed for all the games
were mighty tuckered out on Thursday.
None of the games was an especially thrilling contest, and the top
seeded aggregation was too much for any of their opponents.
The suggestion that has been offered by several of the coaches
seems to be the logical thing for the future.
These coaches, who requested anonymity, stated that the Seashore
Conference tourney should be played during the Christmas vacation
period when it will enable fans of the conference to get a line on
the teams that they will be seeing during the rest of the season.
It will give those schools with football squads an opportunity of
getting their squads unlimbered prior to the start of the season, and
will enable all others a preview of things to come.
We are inclined to agree with these coaches and would Iik<* very
much to see a tournament played during the Christmas vacation period
when there arc more people in the area and the winning team might
be accorded some real recognition.
? Little League practice sessions will start April 15, according ot
an announcement by Floyd Chadwick, player agent of the Morehead
City program.
All of the youngsters who belonged to a team last season, and
haven't graduated from the program are to report on that date as are
all youngsters interested in trying out for the vacancies that exist
on the rosters of the clubs.
There will once again be four teams playing in the Little League
this summer. Sponsors of the teams are now being contacted.
? A meeting of teams interested in thie Carteret County Baseball
League will be held sometime next week, according to BUI (Bull)
Durham, president of Che loop.
Current plans call for the same teams as last season with the possi
ble addition of a squad from Swansboro.
Details of the meeting will appear in THE NEW&TIMES.
