Eagles to Meet Williamston Eleven Under Arcs Tonight The Morehead City Eagles travel to Williamston tonight' to meet an eastern power-house. The Williamston team has seven returning firsUstring players and several letter men who saw plenty of action last year. Williamston is admittedly out for revenge after last year's 13-0 loss at the hands of the Eagles. They were rated four touchdowns better than-* the Eagles in preseason predic tions. The probable starters worked as a unit on offense mo6t of the week. Wednesday afternoon Gerald Jones was handling most of the punting during practice and looked pretty good. Jones is a speedster who can go the distance once he gets through the line. With one or two possible excep tions, this is the team that will line up for the kick-off tongiht: Quarterback: John Glancy Fullback: Grover Smithwick Halfbacks: James Guthrie and Gerald Jones vV Ends: Lynwood Swinson and Freddie Oglcsby Tackles: Charles Wells and Ivey Willis Guards: Richard Powers and Ted Phillips Center: Gordic Patrick. Coach Norman Clark says, "Just tell the folks we'll be in there fighting 100 per cent. There won't be a slacker on the field tonight, you can count on that." He refused to predict the out come of the game, even as to how close he thought it would be. Team members seemed confident enough, however, and arc out to give Wil liamston another defeat. Jaycees Complete Bleachers Move The Moerhead City Jaycees com pleted the "Big Move." Bleachers which they hud moved to the race track for the Miss North Carolina Pageant have finally been returned to the football field and are now ready for use, says Herbert Phil lips, Jaycce president. The Jaycees worked Monday night finishing the project. About 18 or 20 were present for work then, and about the same number reported Wednesday afternoon to begin work on permanent bleach ers. Season tickets are still available at the special pre-season reduced rate. Tickets for the five-game home schedule, normally $5 can be bought from the Jaycees or at many Morchead business places for $4. Committee to Meet To plan new brochures and set the budget for the coming year the advertising committee of the Morchead City Chamber of Com merce will meet at 5 p.m. today at the chamber office.

Lucky 1, Lucky Ford Win 510 Seven was the lucky number, and a purple and white '56 Ford was the magic car for Curtis Tur ner as he won his first victory in seven starts in the Southern 500 at Darlington on Labor Day. Turner, a wealthy Roanoke. Va., lumberman who races just for the sport of it, collected $11,520, a giant trophy, and a kiss from Queen Robin Williamson. Turner puahed his Ford over the 500-mile, 364-lsp grind in five hours 15 minutes and 34 seconds. Hia average speed was 95.087 miles per hour, establiahing a new track record. Several wrecks and a slight sprinkle of rain kept the caution flag up for 40 laps of the race, but despite this handicap Turner act new records both in average miles per hour and total time to finish the race. He was tops in a starting field of 72 cart, of which only 37 com pleted this biggest of all Southern 500 s. Speedy Thompson. Charlotte, was second in a '5? Chrysler. Ano ther Ford came ia third. It waa driven by Marvin Panch of Oar dena, California. Four Fords, three Chevrolet!, a Chrysler, Mercury, and Pontiae were the top ten cars in the race. f - The Alma Cops Gib Arthur Memorial Trophy Monday V Photo by Reginald Lewis Edward Fulchcr and Frank Wickizer sail Captain Gib Willis's Alma across the finish line in the Labor Day race for the Gib Arthur Trophy. The Alma, pride of Captain Gib Willis for over 20 years, saw her first race of the season Monday in the annual Labor Day race for the Gib Arthur Memorial Trophy as Edward Fulcher and Frank Wick izer. sailed her to victory. Captain Willis and the Alma are largely responsible for the sprit sail boats now on Bogue Sound. When the trend toward power boats had taken nearly every sail boat from the sound. Captain Wil lis continued to sail the Alma, botfc' for work and pleasure. He has re tired from sailing now due to his health. As sailing began to come back into its own as a sport, the Alma became the prototype for all of the 20-foot spritsail boats now on the sound. The Alma carried her years I well Monday, as she left Buddy I Daily, world ehampion spritsailcr, and the Lady Ann behind. Buddy i took second place, with Ernest Guthrie in Fair Wind in third. Josiah Bailey was fourth in Jo Did, followed by Sammy Hughes in Damfino, and Dr. Silas Thorne in Si-Phyllis. Dr. Thorne was defending cham pion of the trophy. His unconven tional rig has been the subject of much discussion among the sprit Mtter*, but it didn't seem to be what the doctor ordered for the light winds. Dr. Thorne says that he plans to continue experimenting with his , "gaff and boom" rig in hopes that he can work out some of the bugs. ' He says that the rig is used com | monly along the Gulf Coast on | larger boats. Queen Street Coach Happy Coach "Shad" Barrow of the Queen Street Knights it wearing a happy smile these days. When asked if his team will be stronger than last year's power-packed ag gregation, he says, "I can't say, but these boys look pretty good." With opening day nearly two weeks away, the Knights seem to be in mid-season condition. A rough and ready scrimmage ses sion and five fast laps around the field left most of the team blow ing hard but ready for more. Coach Barrow refuses to single out any boys for praise, because, as he puts it, "You just can't tell this early. It's a week before I have to pick a starting line-up." His problem is quite different from that of other county coaches. Coaches Clark at Morehead and Gordon at Beaufort are abort of material, but there were at least 30 men in uniform for a scrimmage session Wednesday and aeveral more who were available. Assistant coaches were working with grade school hopefuls who will be out for the first team In a year or two. Spirit waa running high on ail parts of the field. Ready (from the quarterback) Yeah (from the team) Sat (from the quarterback) Yea (the team again) One. Two ? the ball was al ways snapped on two -wham! And the coach smiled again. No wonder. Old Seadog Praised By Football Coach Gehrmann Holland Jr. has been one of the most faithful Seadogs in Beaufort this summer. He has worked steadily with Coach Hugh Gordon to turn out a winning team. Gehrmann has been an invaluable aide, says Coach Gordon, and de serves a great deal of credit for what he has done. He was a member of Beaufort's State Championship basketball team two years ago and is now on the basketball squad at UNC. As a freshman last year he played forward on the freshman team, but he predicts that he will be shifted to guard for varsity ball. He played football at Beaufort, making All-Conference end his senior year. He was selected to the All East team the same year. The Little Nine of Morehead City, Inc.
