VieMAUUf SfUOtsU l?r Larry McComb Editor's Nate: Below appears a letter from head football coach at Morehead City high school, Normal Clark, who appeals to football fan* for fluaclal support a ad gives a. brief oatllne of the prospects for this fall. This is my first undertaking of writing a letter to the football fans of Morehead City. I have never asked for help or aid of any kind, but I feel it a necessity to do so now. i As all of you know, with age certain things start a period of deterioration. Such is the case of all fixtures at the Camp Glenn football field. To remedy this situa tion it takes the power of the dollar, plus the physical exertion in the form of work on your part. I know that, as parents, friends and former students of Morehead City high school, you will do all in your power to ease this perplexing situation. Please contact Mr. Nick Galantis at the Busy Bee Cafe and render your financial aid to him, as he is the chief executive for a better football program for Morehead City. Some of you will probably be interested to know about the prospects for this year's team. Practically all of you regard me as a coach who does a lot of moaning before the season starts and then comes through with a winning team. We have been very fortunate with our foot ball material here up to this date and I want to clarify a point right now. The boys have done it all as far as winning conference cham pionships and the greatest of all, the coveted state cham pionship. I have gotten most of the credit but they are the ones who deserve it, certain ly not me, and I want them to know it. Three of these former .. m .v .. Coach Norman Clark football stars are now studying for the ministry. This is what I like to see, and it certainly makes a coach feel great to see a former student and football player whom I taught and coached, answer the Saviour's call. I want you parents to know that the Lord's work can be done on the football field as well as any place. Now, to get to the 1959 edition of the Eagles. First of all, I want to tell all of you fans not to expect miracles out of these kids because they are very green and inex perienced. We have lost the services of one of our captains, namely Mokey Lasitter. He is a tremendous ball player and a great competitor as well as a leader. His loss has certainly jolted our hopes for another conference title, but we wish him God speed in his new venture at Bay lor. (Lasitter announced last week that he would en roll at Baylor School for Boys at Chattanooga, Tenn., in September). Three, and possibly four, additional boys will not be with us, namely Glenn Burbage, Wayne Thompson, Gary Walters and possibly James Leigh. All of these boys would have been seniors this year, and they have the football experience and savvy to make us a fair outfit. Without their services we will have to go along with in experienced freshmen and sophomores. If the Morehead City football fortunes take an ad verse turn and we start losing ball games, please re member one thing ? the boys are green but they will be doing their level best. If you Monday morning quar terbacks want to criticize, criticize me, not them. I want to thank each and every one of you who will help our football program because nt the present we are in dire need of financial assistance. It should make you, as citizens, of Morehead City, self-satisfied to say, "I helped with the needs of the football program at Morehead City high school and I feel inside of me that I have done my part." How many of you will be able to say this? Sincerely yours, Norman Clark, Coach MCHS Coast Guardsmen Assist Two Boats in Trouble A 23-foot cabin boat belonging to John L. Lister of Mount Olive, broke down Friday afternoon and had to have assistance from the Fort Macon Coaat Guardsmen, ac cording to a Coast Guard report.

King Football Team To Begin Practice Friday * Forty Boys Expected for First Call; Schedule Includes Five Home Games Head football coach at W. S. King high school, John Thompson, announced yesterday that all boys interested in trying out for the team this year should be at the school Friday afernoon, Aug. 14 at 3 p.m. At this time registra tion, weighing in, and checking out equipment will be taken carc of, according to Thomp- ? son ? ? ? ? - ... Thompson, whose team will play an eight-game schedule this fall, cxpects the Monarchs to be a little ' stronger than last year's edition which compiled a 3-3 record. Lost through graduation are starters William Adams, Curt Da vis, Cecil Walker, Mot Hester and William Pritchett, but Thompson expects to find replacements from this year s roster at all of the va . cant positions with his big question . mark being at quarterback. Wil i liam Adams played the slot last ; year and Thompson rejwrts that he ! will have a tough time finding ? someone to fill Adam's shoes. ? Either Donald Henderson or 1 James James seems most likely to start the season at quarterback. Both boys saw limited action last year and both are returning letter men. Up front, Thompson reports pros pects looking very good for a solid, , fast line. Heading the list of line men for this year will be veteran tackle Power Dennis who weighs in at 185 pounds, and center Billy Kay Hester who tips the scales at 170. Backing up this duo will be guard Chancer Fuller and end Win fred Quick. Fuller will report at about 191 pounds and Quick weighs in at 172. A prospect of whom Thompson is expecting great things is end Andrew Holland who will be back in school this fall after laying out one year to work. Holland, at 210 pounds, will be one of the heaviest players on the squad and also one of the fastest. Other players, from whom Thompson will form his nucleus, include lettermcn Henry Dudley and Charles Leasane. Both boys are backs and will provide Thomp son with much needed speed in the backfield. Thompson says that he plans to use several different offensive pat terns this year. Basically a single wing team the Monarchs will be able to mix in variety with a T and a split-T attack. Old-Timers Rack All-Stars 18-5 A team of Beaufort dads and old timers staged a 12 run inning Sun day afternoon to down the All Stars of the Pony League 18-5 on the high school diamond.

William Roy Hamilton of the old timers reported that a fine crowd turned out for the game and was rewarded with some baseball that was different, to say the least. Beaufort Mayor Piggie Potter managed the losing AU-Stars and Charles Hassell guided the old timers. LET'S GO FISHING! Carolina Quoon Still 1 A.M. Hetura I P.M.

Danny is one of three sons of Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Clapsadl who play ed for the Small Frys. The other brothers are Mike and Joe. In Yhe voting for the Must Val uable Player Rodney Kemp of the Small Frys was picked most val uable for his team for the second year in a row. Kemp, who played for the Small Frys, was one of the most versatile players in the league this year, playing the in field flawlessly and taking a regu lar turn on the pitching mound. Other most valuable players as selected by the players on the teams were Donald Yeager, Idle Hour, Jimmy Hall, Moose, and Buff Chalk, Elks. Yeager was the top hurler on the Idle Hour team that finished in the cellar for the last half of the sea son and Hall, although primarily a catcher, played several positions on the pennant-winning Moose team. The big righthander com piled a batting average of .421 which was second in the league only to Robert McLean's .455. Yea ger was right behind Hall in the batting race with an average of .417 on 20 hits in 48 at bats. The Elks selection as the most valuable was also a boy of multiple talents, Buff Chalk, who saw action on second and third base as well as pitching. r]%e Jiacts said"]ies to JJis Jfeartf ,WKen did the dream first find its way into his heart? We doubt that he could tell you himself. He only know* that there has been a Cadillac in his hopes and in his plans for a good share of his life. So imagine his delight when he finally got the fact* about Cadillac? and found they said "yet" to his heart I How pleased and encouraged he must have been to learn of Cadillac's modest purchase price. For the car not only costs no more than many models of other makes? but actually leu in view of the many important automotive features that are included in Cadillac's basic price. How convinced he must have been by the story o! Cadillac's operating economy. For the car stretches a gallon of gasoline over an amrning number of milet-an4 its superb quality assures the maximum in dependability. And how conviction must have given way to certainty as he listened to the history of Cadillac's resale value. For just as a Cadillac is unrivaled in its original value? so it has no peer in value retained over the yean. So if, like this happy gentleman, you have a Cadillac in your heart? we suggest you let your dealer explain how easily there could be ? Cadillac in ywr life/ Why not put a circle around tomorrow? It's none to* soon to get the facts for yourself. VISIT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED CADILLAC DEALER ? Entry Wnitw if Evert CtdiUtc u Ssfrtj Pin Glut ?
