Eagles Coast to 19-0 Win
Over Pamlico Hurricanes
McQueen Scores 3 TD's
On Spectacular Runs
By SHIRLEY FREDERICK and CAROIXYN MEIGGS
The Morehead City Eagles, after starting out like Pitts
burgh against the Redskins, bogged to a virtual standstill
as they eased out a 19-0 win over the winless Hurricanes
of Pamlico County high school.
The Eagle* scored on the first play of the game when,
.Knights Edge
Monarchs 6-fl
For First Win
After losing five straight games,
the Queen Street Knights finally
broke into the win column Satur
day night as they downed their
arch rivals, the Monarchs of W. S.
King high school, 6-0 in a game
played on the Morehead gridiron.
The Knights, behind the able
quarterbacking of Toby Fenderson,
rolled for a touchdown midway in
the first quarter. The tally proved
to be the only score of the night
but the 6-0 lead was more than
enough for the Knights as the Mon
archs failed to pose a serious of
fensive threat.
Ernest Pasteur, Queen Street's
freshman halfback cracked over
the goal from 11 yards out after
some fine passing by Fenderson
had moved the ball deep into Mon- j
arch territory. Going for two j
points on the conversion, the ;
Knights were stopped by the Mon- i
arch defense.
Throughout the remainder of the I
game the Knights were able to j
dominate most of the offensive play j
but each time they threatened, they
were stopped by the Monarchs. As j
the final gun sounded the Knights '
had made their furtherest penetra
tion of the last half and had the
ball on the six-yard line of More
head City.
. The workhorse of the Queen
?Street attack turned out to be
Ernest Pasteur who carried the
ball for an average of 15.6 yards
per carry.
The Knights have two more
games on their schedule before get
ting into basketball seaaen. Both
of the contests are home affairs
and one of the tilts, the Nov. 13
contest with Washington Union
Jtigh school, will be homecoming.
In the other game the Knights will
meet the Greene County training
school of Snow Hill.

Jackie McQueen bolted over tackle
and broke into the clear to race 57
yards to the goal line virtually un
touched.
The play developed so fa?t that
the Hurricane secondary was far
behind even by the time that the
speedy McQueen cut for the side
lines at mid-field. On the conver
sion attempt the Hurricanes
stopped a plunge over the center
to hold the score at 6-0.
Pjimllc'o took the Morehead City
kiekoff and marched to a first
down before the Eagle defense
tightened to force the Hurricanes
into a punting situation.
The Eagles took the punt and
after a Short pass from David
O'Neal to Jimmy Lawrence had
clicked for eight yards, McQueen
Jackie McQueen
. . . tallies 3 TD's
again electrified the small crowd
with another display of his blazing
speed as he scampered 60 yards for
the Eagles 9econd touchdown and
a 12-0 lead. A minute later this
lead was run to 13-0 as lightweight
halfback James Nolan sneaked
over for the extra point.
it was here (hat the Eagle attack
setih^& ti^jun out of gas as they
were unable to present another
scoring threat before halftime. The
Hurricanes stopped everything the
Eagles tried, and even though they
were unable to score or threaten
themselves they fought the highly
favored Eagles on even terms.
As the two teams left the field at
intermission, the Eagle lead was
still at 13-0.
After the rest period the black
shirted Hurricanes yielded another
touchdown to the Eagles but for
the most part they matched More
head yard for yard through the
hard-fought two quarters. The scor
ing play for the Eagles came mid
way in the third quarter and again
it was McQueen carrying the ball
over for the six-pointer.
The Eagles, who have missed
more extra point attempts than
they have made this year, missed
on this one too and the score stood
at 19-0.
The remainder of the game was
played with neither team able to
put together a sustained drive. One
bright spot in the Eagle attack
during their unimpressive last two
quarters was the running of fresh
man halfback James Nolan.
"All in all, I'm a little disappoint
ed in the showing," said head coach
Norman Clark after the game.
"Our next game is the traditional
Mullet Bucket affair with Beaufort
and if we don't look any better than
we did tonight, Lancaster's boys
will beat us 40 points or more,"
added Clark.

Seadogs Arrive a* Grid Power
The football field at Beaufort high school was the
only thing that was affected by the rain Friday as the
pre-game downpour failed to put a damper on either
the Homecoming festivities or the play of the league
leading Seadogs.
Beaufort, in downing tough Robersonville 26-6, dis
played probably more power Friday night than in any
previous game this year. On a field that resembled a
swamp more than a gridiron the Seadogs hit like light
ning and kept on. pounding and grinding to roll up four
touchdowns on a team that was rated even with the Sea
dogs before the game.
Beaufort fullback Ernest (Power) House was mag
nificent in the win. His hard charges into the Ham line
completely demoralized the Kobersonville defense.
When he hit the line and there was no hole open, he still
managed four or five yards as he made his own holes.
As the Robersonville coach was heard to comment after
the game, "There's one boy who gets my vote as all
conference fullback."
While House was giving Robersonville fits on the
ground Butch Hassell was drawing gasps of unbelief
with one of the finest passing displays I have ever seen.
The classy quarterback was simply great Friday night.
?Johnny Unitas couldn't have been any more help to the
Seadogs than Butch was.
Completing the rout of the Rams was the play of the
Beaufort forward wall. The best backfield in the world
is helpless without blocking in front of them and Fri
day night the five players between Calvin and David
Jones were providing that protection. In football, it is
generally agreed that the team on the offense has a
slight advantage over the defense but this was not true
Friday when Robersonville had the ball. The Beaufort
defense and particularly the Seadog line, played flawless
football all evening.
Probably the outstanding play of the game by a line
man came in the fourth quarter when Denard Harris
broke into the Ram backfield, took the ball away from
the ball carrier and scampered some seventy yards for a
touchdown.
While heaping laurels on the Beaufort football team,
enough praise can't 80 to the coaching staff of Curt
Lancaster, Jim Fodrie and Tom Hewitt. Under the guid
ance of Lancaster, the Seadogs have come a long way
from last year. This fact is evident not only in the play
of the team but in the boundless spirit and enthusiasm
of the entire squad. When the opening whistle blows
Beaufort has eleven men on the field who came to play a
ball game.
Fearless'* New System Proves Goldmine
After coming up with ten winners Saturday in ten
picks, it will take an act of Parliament to get Fearless
to switch from his newfound winner-picking system
(coin-flipping) which was used for the first time.
There were only two games which could have spoiled
the day for Fearless but in each game, the Duke-NCS
game and the North Carolina-Wake Forest game, his
system happened to come up with the teams that even
tually won, Duke and North Carolina.
The ten winner* raised Fearless's batting average al
most 100 points to a .727 percentage. His last week's
record, which stood at 22 winners in 34 picks for an
average of .647 was boosted to 32 winners in 44 picks
for the .727.
Thai's 30 for now.

Fabulous
Fishing . .
By Bob Simpson
Speckled trout are making the
big news for anglers in the sounds
and rivers ot Carteret County;
favorite spots are near the bridges:
Marker's Island, Newport River
and Atlantic Beach.
Night fishing for gray trout is
equally good around the bridges.
Grays average better than one
pound; speckled, over two pounds.
Catches of 15 to 20 speckled are
common; John Alford and party,"
Morchead City, reported 52 spec
kled, averaging two to two and a
half pounds, caught near the Beach
Bridge.
Spots arc still the top species
for the ocean pier fisherman, blues,
pompano, black and puppy drum
are also on the list, with some
good runs of speckled trout re
ported. Bottom fishermen on the
sound side reported outstanding
catches of big fall spots and hog
fish and a variety of other species,
both from piers and boats.
Surf fishing is excellent: a trio of
Raleigh anglers, fishing at Cape
Lookout, caught 60 blues and puppy
drum, the drum averaging three to
four pounds. J. T. Smith, Burling
ton, had a total of 130 pounds
(dressed) of spots and pompano,
caught in the surf off Bogue Banks.
Speckled trout up to four and a half
pounds have been reported by surf
fishermen.

Lions Sponsor
Midget Team
The Morehead City Lions Club
became the second civic organiza
tion to sponsor a team in the new
ly formed midget football league
recently when they presented a
check for S100 to league officials.
A spokesman for the club said
that the team sponsored by the
Lions will be known as the Lions'
Cubs. The other organization spon
soring a team is the Elks Club.
The 80 boys who are registered in
the program were divided into four
teams last Monday at the recrea
tion center and with the arrival of
the rest of the equipment, practice
sessions will get into full swing and
game schedules will be announced.
Nick Galantis of the Touchdown
Club reports that the boys collected
a total of *59 98 at their booth set
up at the Wallace-Morehead game.
According to Galantis, the league
if (till in need of two sponsors.
' Carteret County football fans will
get a preview of the annual Mullet
Bucket game Thursday night when
the Morehcad Ctiy junior varsity
team meets the Beaufort Jayvees
at t o'clock in a grid contest on
the Camp Glenn field.
Sparking the Eagle attack
against the Beaufort freshmen will
be varsity players David O'Neal
and James Nolan. Both boys arc
freshmen and will be allowed to
play in the game since Morehead
City doesn't have enough freshmen
out for football to field a team with
out using the pair.
Beaufort frosh coach Tom Hewitt
will counter with a lineup that has
led his charges to victory in all
but one of their games this year.
The Seapups' only loss came at the
hands of the New Bern Jayvees
and they have won handily over
three other opponents.
Spearheading the Seapup offen
sive weapon arc fullback Mahlon
Williams and halfback Tommy
Anyone interested may contact him
at the Busy Bee cafe, or James
Shine at the Morehead City high
school.
Bridgers. Williams has been the
workhorse for the Seapups this sea
son and the hard running freshman
will be counted on heavily by He
witt Thursday night. Rounding out
the backfield for Beaufort will be
quarterback Johnny Hassell and
halfback Paul Downum.
In the line Beaufort will start Jeff
Salter. 160, and Harry Gillikin, ISO,
at ends; Daniel Nelson, 160 and
Tommy Metz, 160, at tackles; Bob
by Taylor, 145 and Mike Smith, ISO,
at guards and Gary Williams, 145,
at center.
The junior Eagles will be handled
by assistant coach David Lee. Lee,
a former pro player will not be
certain of his starting lineup until
game time. This will mark the
first competition for the Morehead
frosh, as they have been working
out with the varsity unit in prac
tice! to date.
Another vanity member who will
probably see a lot of action for
Morehead, in addition to O'Neal
and Nolan is Danny McQueen,
brother to senior halfback Jackie
McQueen.
Admission will be charged to see
the game.

Marlin History i
This Season
By BOB SIMPSON
Anglers off the North Carolina i
coast have boated, during the 1959 i
season, 261 blue marlin, ranging i
in size from 73 pounds to 459 <\
pounds. Morehead City leads with
95; Hatteras second, with 89; Ore- |
gon Inlet third, with 62. \
Southport and Wrightsville tied, I
with si* each, and Marshallberg '
boats accounted for three. Claims
for releases ranged upward of 15,
Hatteras leading the way with the
largest number of releases.
Highlights of the season were the
first recorded instances of three,
four and five blue marlin from
a single boat in a day.
Morehead City made marlin his
tory when the boat Blue Water,
first to make a triple-header, was
topped by the boats Bunny, Bunny
Too and Dolphin, each with a quar
tet of blue marlin. The numbers
race ended with Dolphin bring
ing back five from a single trip.
Perhaps the finest marlin fish
ing ever done was during the week
end of June 5, when Morehead City
boats landed 41 blue marlin, with a
boat average of better than 2'/4
marlin per trip.
During this same period Hat
teras based boats were proving that
their fishing grounds were superior
to Puerto Rico's; 11 boated and
four releases claimed, in the inter
national competition.
Possibly the heaviest individual
competition was between two More
head City-based boats: Bunny Too,
captained by Arthur Lewis; Dol
phin, captained by George Beds
worth. Their neck-and-neck race
vound up in a 27-27 tie at the
end of the season, over half the
Morehead City total.
Morehead City's first blue marlin
was caught in September, 1957,
in '58 28 were boated. Skippers,
asked about the fabulous fishing
for the marlin iu '59, answer,
"They've been there all the time;
all we had to do was fish for them.
And we're learning fast." Mid-May
to mid-July has proved to be the
best blue marlin fishing period.
The Morehead City Yacht Basin
is making special provision for ac
commodating additional private
and transient sportsfishermen for
the I960 season.
Biggest Fish
Gordy Eure, son of Dr. and Mn.
Dardcn Eure of Morehead City,
caught two sailfish while vacation
ing in Acapulco, Mexico, last week.
The fish, weighing 124 and 125
pounds, were the biggest caught on
Acapulco boats that week.
Harris Gallops 65 Yards
For 4th Period Touchdown
By BILL KIRK
"We just got whipped and whipped good," said Rober
sonviile coach Bob Lee after his Hams had been downed
26-6 Friday night by the Beaufort Seadogs in an important
Seashore Conference tilt. The game, the annual home
coming contest for the Seadogs, was played on a mud
covered field, before a large <
throng.
"True, Beaufort got the breaks
in the game but they didn't get any
that they didn't make and that's
the way you've got to play to win.
Our boys did a lot of fumbling but
this was caused by the tackles
Beaufort was making," Scott said.
Beaufort kicked off to the Rams
to open the game and on the sec
ond series of plays by Roberson
ville John Nelson intercepted a
pass to give the Seadogs possession
on the 38 yard line of the Rams.
Ernest House
. . . Ram wrecker
From hero the Scadogs were able
o move for the first touehdown of
he game when Seadog fullback
sensation Ernest (Power) House
slammed over for six points from
13 yards out. The try for extra
point was no goou but as the first
quarter ended the fired-up Seadogs
lad a 6-0 lead.
Again the Rams were unable to
make any yardage against the
fierce Seadog defense and after los
L1144 the ball once on a fumble, the
Rams were forced into a punting
situation. A good runback of the
kick by Beaufort quarterback
Butch Hassell gave the Seadogs a
first and ten on the Robersonville
II.
Here the trio of Beaufort backs,
Taylor, House and Ray Hassell
drove the ball to the Ram three
yard line. On the scoring play it
was again House who quarterback
Hassell called on for the six-point
er. The Rams again held on the
conversion attempt and the Beau
fort advantage was held to 12-0.
Late in the second quarter the
Seadogs again put together a sus
tained drive toward the Ram goal
but time ran out on them and as
the halftime whistle sounded, the
Seadogs had just moved to the five
yard line on a 35-yard pass play
from Hassell to Calvin Jones.
After impressive halftime cere
monies which saw Harriet Hill
crowned Miss Seadog for 1959, the
Beaufort defense bogged momen
tarily and the Rams were quick to
take advantage of the situation to
score their only touchdown of the
night. The payoff play came on a
wide sweep around the right end
of the Beaufort line and covered
12 yards.
The try for extra point was
stopped, and Beaufort recovered
from their momentary lapse on de
fense minutes later when some
hcads-up ball gave them their third
touchdown. On the play, the Rams
had the ball and were moving well
on the ground but all this was
changed in a flash when rugged
Seadog tackle Denard Harris broke
into the Ram backfield to hit the
ball carried and steal the ball and
scamper untouched for 65 yards.
The play completely demoralized
Robersonville and the Seadogs
were to complete the rout minutes
later when Butch hit David Jones
on a scoring pass that covered 40
yards.
David caught the pass on the goal
line despite a Ram defender cover
ing him closely, and fell into the
end zone. The Seadogs again went
to the air for the conversion at
tempt and a Butch to Ray Hassell
aerial was good for the point.
Of the 127 rushing yards that the
Seadogs gained, House personally
accounted for 98 to give him a five
yard average on 17 attempts. Butch
Hassell managed a minus three
yard average on three carries and
Ray Hassell finished with an aver
age of one and a half yards per
carry.
Eddie Taylor, who had a 13-yard
touchdown jaunt called back in the
second quarter, came out of the
game with an average of three
yards gained every time he lugged
the ball.
