Mullet Bucket Up for Grabs Tonight
Hawks Win First;
Beat Jasper 60-32
The Newport high school Hawks,
coached by Doug Schafran, opened
their 1959-60 basketball season on
a winning note Tuesday night as
they downed Jasper high school
60-32. In the preliminary game the
Hawkettes lost a high-tcorng af
fair to the Jasper girls 72-64.
The Hawks had little trouble in
disposing of the Jasper quintet as
they jumped out to an early lead
that saw them ahead 12 points,
22-10, at the end of the first quarter.
"I was very much pleased with
the performance of all the boys and
especially with the shooting exhi
bition put on by Larry Kirk," said
Schafran after the game. "We sub
stituted freely throughout the game
and everyone got to see some ac
tion."
Tommy Gillikin, Johnny Turpin,
Clifton Nance and Mack Temple
were players singled out by Scha
fran as turning in outstanding jobs
on the backboards.
The Hawks ran their lead to 35-22
at halftime and enjoyed a V point
spread at the end of the third quar
ter. Newport hit on 19 of 46 field
goal attempts for a .413 percentage
while the best Jasper could man
age was a .184 percentage on 12
field goals out of 65 attempted.
From the free throw line the
Hawks hit a respectable 22 out of
31 for a .710 percentage. Jasper
had only 15 attempts from the char
ity stripe and they converted on
eight of them for their percentage
of .533. ' " . ? ' ? ? ;1
Leading the offensive attack of
the Hawks was Johnny Turpln who
pumped In 19 points. Larry Kirk
followed with 14 points as he hit
exactly 50 per cent of his shots
from the field.
Rounding out the Hawk scoring
were Tommy Olllikin with seven
points, Claytan Garner with six,
Johnny firm with five, William
Small with four and Mack Temple
with one.
In the preliminary game the
Hawkettes ran into more than they
could handle in the one-two punch
of Rita Harris and Lois Murphy.
These two combined to score a to
tal of 52 points between them as
the Jasper girls were downing the
Hawkettes 72-64.
Newport unveiled a scoring sen
sation of their own in the person
of Marg Lilly who burned the
cords for 39 big points but it wasn't
enough to cope with the balanced
attack of the Jasper sextet.
"We definitely need work on our
forward positions but I'm sure thut
with a little experience the team
will come along," said Schafran.
The Hawkettes posted a one-point
lead over Jasper at the end of the
first quarter at 14-13 and were
trailing by only two points at the
half, 29-21
Newport hit 14 of their 26 free
throw attempts while Jasper was
?uccessfUl on six of 14 tried.
The next game for the two teams
will be tonight against the Smyrna
Blue Devils in the first home game
of the season.

Larry MoComb
Notei from the Lonely End of a Long Limb
Thif> week's letter from Fearless says that?this is the
Friday night that he has dreaded to see come all year . . .
"From what I understand it usually has been rather
easy to pick the winner in the annual mullet bucket af
fair but what are you going to do this year? Both teams
have winning records going into the game. Both squads
will be at full strength for the tilt. Both schools are
blessed with fine coaching staffs and both teams will be
giving their all to win it. '
"It's true that Beaufort has prone winless for quite a
few years against their Eagle foes but in this series you
can throw past records out the window in trying to fig
ure who's going to win. This is a game in which any
thing can, and usually does, happen."
But to get to the prediction. Fearless says that due
to the fact that an injured ankle on Monday has failed
to knock Butch Hassell out of the Seadog line
up, he will have to go along with Beaufort to knock over
the Eagles.
Probably for the first time in the school's football his
tory the Seadogs have a well-balanced and strong at
tack. The team has been plagued with injuries through
out the season and its been a rare occasion when Curt
Lancaster could start the same lineup two weeks in a
row. But the Seadogs have been able to get a lot of
mileage, and the big effort from their replacements this
year, and this is always the mark of a good team.
Another factor is the fact that all of the Seadog vic
tories have come by one-sided scores over their op
ponents. In eight games to date the Big Green has
scored a total of 254 points while limiting the opposi
tion to only 44.
The EHgles have probably played the rougher sched
ule of the two schools but the Seadogs, in downing
Farmville and Robersonville, proved that they could
more than hold their own in rougher circles.
Also the game will be played on fhe Beaufort grid
iron which could be a big advantage to the home team.
In Butch Hassell and David Jones coach Lancaster
has two of the most explosive football players around.
The pair present a real danger any time they are on
the field. Their deadly pass combination has been the
real money play for the Big Green along with the head
knocking of fullback Ernest House. Speaking of House,
the big fullback will be probably the hardest hitting
power runner faced this year by the Eagles and that is
saying quite a bit, considering that Morehead City has
met such teams as Wallace and New Bern.
The thing that could put the spoiler on picking Beau
fort to win is the fact that Norman Clark, football coach
and psychologist, is capable of getting his team up to
beat any team in the state on a given night. The Eagles
will certainly have the psychological factor in their
favor, having won every game in the aeries since 1960.
Although Saturday's college games will seem like a
poor grade B movie after the big show tonight at Beau
fort, Fearless has sent in a list of collegiate picks for
this week and here they are:
First in the Big Four it will be Clemson over Duke,
North Carolina over Miami, and Mississippi Southern
over North Carolina State.
Elsewhere it should be Georgia Tech over Notre
Dame, South Carolina over Virginia, Texas over Baylor,
Ohio State over Indiana, and Northwestern over Wis
consin. !n the battle of the Eastern giants Fearless picks
the Big Orange of Syracuse over Penn State In a close
one.
Last week Fearless hit on eight out of ten to run his
average for the year to .747. This comes on 40 correct
picks In 54 attempts.
That'* SO for now.

Beaufort Hosts Big Game;
Capacity Crowd Expected
The hi|kli(hl of the football season in Carteret County
will come tonight when the Beaufort high school Seadogs
entertain the Morehead City Eagles at Beaufort in the
traditional clash for the Mullet Bucket. '
The game tonight promises to be a real close affair as
both teams have come up with fine football aggregations.
The Eagles, who have reigned as*
masters of the Mullet Bucket game
for the past several seasons, have
compiled a record of five wins, one
loss and one tie.
Their defeat came at the hands
of upstart Jones Central and their
'ie was in the game with high
ranked Wallace - Rose Hill. The
Eagles, to date, own victories over
Cary, New Bern, Wilmington,
Havelock, and Pamlico.
The Eagles, under the adept
guidance of head coach Norman
Clark have been an up and down
team this year. Against New Bern
and Wallace they proved that they
can play championship ball, but
against other opponents the Eagles
have looked only fair, although
they have won each game with the
exceptii.il the Jones Central clash.
Attributing partially to their poor
showing to date has been the fact
that varsity halfback Jackie Mc
Queen has been hampered with a
knee that was injured in the Wil
mington game. McQueen saw ac
tion on only a couple of plays
against Jones Central and was still
slowed somewhat hy the knee at
Havclock.
The speedy halfback i> reported
ready to go at top speed for to
night's game and his full-time pres
ence in the Big Red backfield
could make the difference in the
game. With McQueen in the back
field will be David O'Neal at quar
terback, James Nolan at halfback
and Harold Whealton at fullback.
O'Neal, who broke into the start
ing lineup after his spectacular
passing performance against Cary
in the first game of the year, has
been the big weapon of the Eagles,
offensively, along with the running
of McQueen.
In the line Clark is expected to
go along with basically the same
seven players that have seen ac
tion all year. At ends will be Jim
mie Lawrence and John Baker and
at tackle will be Leslie Nelson and
Roger Slaughter.
Chuck SL'dge and James Leigh
will man the guard slots while 245
pound Bob Willis will anchor the
line at center.
Acro?K the river in the Seadog
camp spirits have been at an un
precedented high as the ambitious
Seadogs prepped for the big game.
Two injuries early in the week
almost gave head coach Curt Lan
caster, and his staff, ulcers but
both of the injured players, Calvin
Jones and Butch llassell, have re
covered and will be ready for ac
tion. Butch got his foot badly
sprained when 11 was stepped on j
and Calvin had a foot swell up
after a rough workout Monday.
The same baekiield that has led
the Sea dogs to victory in seven of
their eight games will start to
night. This includes Butcb flassell
at quarterback, Ray Hassell and
Eddie Taylor at halfbacks and
Ernest House at fullback.
In the line Beaufort will have
Calvin and David Jones at end,
Denard and Bill Harris at tackles,
Robert Jones and Fred Hooper at
guard, and Frank Sides at center.
Kickoff time is 8 p.m. and school
officials are expecting one of the
largest crowds in the nine-year his
tory of the traditional classic.
Fry Eagles Take 13-6
Win Over Blue Devils
In the closest-fought game to
date in the Morehead City Midget
Football League the Fry Eagles
Tuesday afternoon downed the Jay
eee Blue Devils 13-6 on the recrea
tion center gridiron.
The Eagles scored a touchdown
on the opening play of the game
when Cecil Sewell hauled in the
Blue Devil kickoff and went 65
yards for the score. The try for
the extra point, a buck over the
line, failed but the Eagles had a
6-0 lead with less than a minute
lapsed in the game.
Tbe Blue Devils then took the
Eagle kick and started n sustained
drive toward the goal line. Some
fine ball lugging by fullback James
Davis moved the ball to the Eagle
20-yard line and from here a Bax
ter Brittingham to Sam Wade pass
set the ball up on the two*yard
line.
From here James Davis scored

on the first play of the second
quarter to give the Blue Devils a
6-6 tie. A quarterback sneak for
the extra point was no good.
Neither team was able to threat
en again before half-time, although
the Eagles did penetrate as far as
the Blue Devil 15-yard line seconds
before the halftime whistle.
The Eagles got their second scor
ing opportunity early in the third
quarter when, on the second play
from scrimmage after receiving
the last half kick-off, the Blue
Devils fumbled and the Eagles re
covered on the 31-yard line.
After moving the ball down to
the 10-yard line halfback Jimmie
Hall bowled over for the six-pointer
and a 12-6 Eagle lead. On the ex
tra point play Garland Thompson
skirted right end to run the score
to 13-6.
The Blue Devils again were un
able to run with the ball and after
an exchange of punts they got pos
session of the ball with a minute
and 30 seconds remaining to be
played.
Brittingham, taking to the air in
an attempt to score, completed one
pass to move the ball to midfield
but the alert pans defense of the
Eagles stopped the drive when they
intercepted a third down pass by
Brittingham.
From here the Eagles managed
to run out the clock to preserve the
13-C win.
