Seadogs Meet Wilmington
Wildkittens Last Night
The Beaufort Seadogs, less the
sen ices of two first string players,
traveled to Wilmington last night
to take on the Wilmington Wildkit
tens. The Seadogs are determined
to get back on the winning trail
after losing to Morchcad City last
week.
The loss of end Calvin Jones and
halfback Danny Willis hampers the
Seadogs seriously. Jones broke his
arm and Willis pulled a muscle in
his hip. Both men are expected to
be out the rest of the season.
New Offense
Coach Hugh Cordon planned to
unveil a new offense for the game.
I It features a single wing formation
I and the running of Raymond 6illi- j
kin, Larry Kirk. Alex Copcland and
j Butch Hasseil. The blocking as
signments in the line will be typi
cal two-on-one single wing block;
| Gordon says that his linesmen
are too small for the man-to-man
blocking required by the T forma
tion He said that he still planned !
I to use T formation plays sparingly. |
Two Teams
| Wilmington has two junior versi
] ty teams and the coach did not
know which of them the Seadogs
(would face. Regardless of which
team is on hand to play, the Sea
dogs are primed for a victory.
They have had good practice ses
sions all week and have showed
| plenty of spirit and fight. Except
I for Jones and Willis, the team
! came through the Morehead City
I game in good condition.
Shoulder Ilealsd
i Kirk's injured shoulder seems to
have healed now. and Coach Gor
[<k>n plans-to use him more for run
! ntojfy pljiys. Probably the best
passlr j&nur conference. Kirk is
! rated as the bcSt runner the Sca
j dogs have by his coach.
| John Owens has been groomed to
fill Jones' end position for the rest
' of the year. He got his first real
test at the job last night and fans
I will be interested to know how he
comes out.
Clayton Hunnings is expected to
see more action from here on out.
| Coach Gordon said that the 138
! pounder gave the Morehead City
I offensive line a fit. He and end
Gordon Becton were the only Sea
i dogs who played good ball consist
ently against the Eagles, the coach
thought.

Everybody is Catching
Fish Says FabFisherman
By BOB SIMPSON
Every phase of fishing has been j
fabulous this week from row skiff
to offshore cruiser, from river pier
to ocean pier. The Port Terminal- j
Fort Macon-Shacklcford area has
been excellent for gray trout, blues
end flounders.
The picture was similar in the
beach bridge area for both skiff
and pier fishermen. On the ocean
side there were spots, hogfish.
puppy drum, blues and speckled
trout. Inshore, blues and Spanish
mackerel are good again, and off
shore there are red snapper for
the headboats and fall kings are
all but jumping into the boats.
Although there were some reports
of "jest fishin' " Wednesday, it was
considered a very temporary con
dition.
Farley Flkins and party from
Radford. Va., who come down
every fall for several days, had
good trout fishing around the
beach bridge, then shifted to off
shore fishing aboard Lois Nancy,
caught 19 kings. 7 of them weigh
ing 20 pounds each.
Reporting only the kings (there]
were occasional amberjack and al
bacore). here's how the offshore |
fishing went Gulf Breeze, 26; Blue
Water, 16; Mattie' G, 31 and Dol
phin III, 23 Harriet L, 17; Do!-1
phin 32; A. M. Willis, 14; Theo-1
dore's Sylvia. 14, and Dolphin II,
27. Those 23 kings caught aboard |
Dolphin III totaled 300 pounds.
Private boats reported: Mary:
Z, 13 kings and a 42-pound am
berjack; Red Snapper, 7 kings,
5 albacore, one amberjack and
one dolphin; Nancy K, 6 kings.
Mattic G brought back a fish
story: Harold Conrad, a husky |
190 pound fisherman from Winston
Salem, was drafted to sit on the
overloaded fish box and keep the
last flopping king inside. But with
one final burst of energy, the big
fish, estimated about 22 pounds,
flipped Conrad and the fish box
into the cockpit and went back
overboard.
From the causeway, B. J.
White reported that one of his
parties caught 75 gray trout.
Other parties were getting blues
and some flounder, along with
lots of trout.
Earl Ryggs commented on drift
fishing, "When the tide runs so
strong that 6 and 8-ounce sinkers
won't stay on the bottom, then drift
fishing is best."
At Bunch's, L. L. Lassiter and
A. B. Darr of High Point report
ed 35 grays, 15 blues, 100 hogfish,
5 flounder and 5 sheepshead.
Harry D e er m a n of Beaufort
caught 12 speckled trout. G. B.
and C. S. Taylor of Charlotte
came in to Bridgeview Motel
with t?0 blues. 20 flounder and
some trout. Rainbow Inn's in
shore boat Modoc had 47 blues
and Spanish.
At Mom and Pop's there has
been excellent fishing for hogfish
and spots, as well as some trout
and puppy drum. At Fleming's
there were good catches of spec
kled trout, blues, spots, hoglish
and flounder.
Ocean pier fishermen were
getting puppy drum, spots, hog
fish, with a fair number of
speckled trout, flounder and
small pompano. Puppy drum
catches went as high as 23 per
fisherman. Blues were biting on
both cork and seahawk.
Inshore. Moody Lewis's Sandy
had 18 Spanish. Owen Dail of At
lantic Beach and C. T. llyman of
Morehead City caught 97 blues
Steve Boykin of Wilson came in to
Sonny's Fishing Station with 40
blues and 18 gray trout.
Another fish story comes from
Harold Schroeder, mate aboard
the Carolina Queen. After Hie
Queen was some distance off
shore. Harold went topside, found
an owl in the lifeboat. There was
some discussion about whether
the owl thought he was on the
mail boat to Ocracoke or whether
some passengers from North
Wilkesboro had smuggled him
aboard.
Boosters Feed
Team Wednesday
Fans and boosters of the More
head City Eagles treated members
of the football team to a steak sup
per in the dining room of Hotel
Fort Macon Wednesday night. Nick
Galantis, manager of the Busy Bee
Restaurant, prepared the meal.
Coaches Norman Clark and Wal
ter Taylor and Bob Seymour, sports
editor of THE NEWS-TIMES, were
also invited to the banquet.
On the wall was a large chart
showing the results of Morehead
City's first five games ancf "Nick's
Predictions" for the rest of the
games. The predictions included a
102-0 victory over Dixon. Dixon
has cancelled its date with the
Eagles.

slaw, frcnch fries, two cartons of
milk, all the bread he could eat
and two blocks of ice cream. The
dairy products were donated by
Sealtest.
Mr. Galantis took donations from
parents and fans to help pay for
the steaks and trimmings.
Morehead to Seek Sixth
Straight Win at Lejeune
Coach Predicts Eagles
Will Have Hard Battle
ine Morenead city Eagles arc
favored to make it six straight to
night when they travel to Camp
Lejeune for a game with the Devil
Pups. Eagle Coach Norman Clark
points out that the Lejeune team
has won three straight ball games
and will be lough to handle.
He says that the Eagles may let ;
down after playing a superb ball
game against Beaufort last week
They can't afford to do this, ac
cording to the coach. "We have a
chance to get into the state play-1
offs this year, and I don't want to
see the team have a bad night in
the last half of the season." Clark 1
says.
Lead Eagle Attack
Spearheading the Eagle attack
will be halfbacks Gerald Jones and
James Guthrie, who have scored a
total of 117 points in the five games
played by the Eagles this year.
Jones has 59 points and Guthrie has
58.
Fullback Freddie Oglesby "is
running harder and harder every
game," says his coach. A convert
ed tackle. Oglesby fits into the full
back slot as though he has been
playing the position for years.
Top Passer
Quarterback John Glancy will
call the plays for the Eagles. He
is a smart player who calls for the
right plays and mixes them well.
His passing ranks among the top in
the conference.
End Lin wood Swinson. playing
his fourth year of ball, is one of
the fastest men on the team. His
J ability to get down the field for
blocks makes him a valuable man.
He has thrown the key block on
several long touchdown runs by
Morehead backs this season.
End Improves
At the other end Russell Guthrie
is improving rapidly. Coach Clark
says that he is still a little weak on
blocking but is coming right along.
Guthrie broke into the starting line
up against Farmville and has play
ed the position well, considering his
| experience.
| Sherman Salter and Lynwood
' Durham give the Eagles two of the
| best tackles in the conference.
Both boys are big. rugged players
(who can open a hole for Eagle
backs. Thev are jUst as effective at
closing holes on defense.
I Guards Jackie Simpson and Rich
' ard Powers have been mainstays
: in the Eagles defensive line. Both
1 are polished offensive players and
arc demons on defense. Center
| Gordon Patrick is another good
hall player who adds a lot to the
team effort. He plays defensive
J halfback.
The game will begin on the Camp
Lejeune school field at 8 p.m.
Archers Plan Hunt
Ten members of the Coastal
Archers Club will go on a guided
deer hunt in the Open Grounds to
morrow. Several members of the
club went Monday but failed to
make a kill.

Bears, Atlantic
To Play Sunday
The New Bern Bears and Atlan
tic will clash at Smyrna Sunday
afternoon in a baseball game that
should be one of the top contests
of the year. The game will begin I
at 1 p.m.
Bears manager Billy Price says
that he has the answer to the At- j
lantic power in righthander Len
West. West is a 6' 4" 185 poui.der
who can fog a fast ball down the
alley like a professional. He has j
a sharp breaking curve ball and a !
good change up pitch.
Price should be a good judge of
pitchers. He won more than 20
games pitching in the Coastal
Plains League a few years ago. He
broke his arm pitching at Smyrna
five years ago.
Atlantic manager Roy Cocker
ham says that he will be hurting
in the pitching department. Thomas
"no-hit" Salter is away in college
and Butch Saunders has gone to
Florida.
Coekerham may start the game
for Atlantic He was the winning
pitcher in the all-star game this
year and demonstrated a good fast
ball and a deceptive curve.
The Atlantic batters will have
their work cut out for them. After
a two-week lay-off they may have
trouble hitting the slants of West.
They are confident, though, that
they can pull through to another
victory.
