Eagle Rally Falls Short;
Hawks Post 3-Point Victory
After leading from 10 to 14 points throughout the game*
the Newport Hawks had to fight off a desperate last quar
ter rally by the Morehead City Eagles Tuesday night be
fore downing the Eagles 60-57 in a game played on the
Newport boards.
Newport, led by the 25-point performance of scoring
ace Johnny Turpin, had little troif-4
blc with the Eagles for the first
Ihree periods as the Hawks posted
comfortable leads at all the quarter
marks.
The end of the first quarter saw
the Hawks leading by five at 15-10
and by halftime they had run this
lead to 11 points as they left the
floor ahead of the Eagles 36-25.
Morehead City opened the last
half by scoring two quick baskets
to narrow the margin to seven but
then Turpin and Kirk went to work
and put the Hawks safely back out
in front. The end of the third quar
ter saw the Hawks leading by eight
?t 45-37 after they, at one time
during the period, enjoyed a 14
point spread.
In the final period the Talbcrt
men weat into a full emni pressing
defense and the tactics paid off as
they managed to peck away at the
Newport lead. Late in the quarter
the Eagles managed to close the
gap to one point before two costly
fouls were called on them as they
tried to get the ball.
The Eagles were also hurt some
what when John Phillips was forced
to leave the game with five fouls.
From the floor the victorious
Hawks hit on 20 of 47 field goal
attempts for an average of 42.5 per
cent. The best that the Eagles
could manage was 17 of 67 attempts
for a cold 24 per cent. From the
free throw line the two teams fin
ished exactly even, Newport hit
ting 20 of 28 for 72 per cent and
the Eagles sinking 23 of 32 for the
same mark.
Turpin's 25 points was high for
the Hawks as well as for the game.
Next in line for Newport was Larry
Kirk who scored 15 points while
Tommy Gillikin who finished with
12.
Tom Thompson, with 12 points,
paced the Eagle scorers and was
followed by John Phillips who had
11 before fouling out. Wade had
nine points and Jimmie Smithwick,
returning to the starting lineup,
had eight.
The Hawks made it a clean sweep
for the night when their girls' team
rolled to a 50-32 win over the Eag
lettes in the opener. An ice-cold
second period in which they failed
to score during the entire stanza
proved to be the downfall of the
Eaglettes. Newport posted a lead
of 13-7 at the end of the first quar
ter and had run this to 26-7 at the
rest period.
Coach Doug Schafran substituted
>
freely throughout the contest ?nd
his starting forward trio played
only a portion of the first half. Sub
stitute forward Betty Green paced
the llawkettes in the scoring de
partment as she turned in a mag
nificent performance by pumping
in 13 points. Regular forwards
Dump Warren, Jenny Lynn Gar
ner and Margaret Lilly were next
in line with eight points apiece and
Melanie Garner had six.
Nancy Allen, who played both for
ward and guard positions during
tlie contest, had five points. Patsy
Garner, with two points, rounded
out the Hawkette scoring.
Substituting for starting guards
Nancy Allen, Lana Linebarger and
Jo Ann Hphl were Dottie Whitley,
PaylttMason. Nancy Gamer. .and
Jane Wurdoth. Carol Buchannon
substituted at a forward slot but
failed to score.
For the Eaglettea Alta Dickinson
was high with IB point! followed
by Johnice Dozier with eight and
Clara Jo Gaskins with four. Portia

Over Havelock
The Smyrna high school Blue
Devils, after two consecutive sting
ing losses, got back on the winning
trail Tuesday night by downing
Walker Gillikin's Havelock Rams
63-37.
The win proved costly to the Blue
Devils, however, as starter Horace
Lawrence was put out of action for
at least ten days with a badly

than ample support by scoring 17
and 12 points respectively.
Floor general Curt Nelson man
aged seven points before having
to leave the game with five per
sonals and Horace Lawrence had
four.
Footballer Janes Seaton proved
to be the only effective scorer for
the Rams as he canned 16 points
to lead hii team in the losing cause, i
The Blue Devils were relatively
cold from the floor during the first
half, hitting only five of IS field
goal attempts but in the final two j
periods they bombarded the bas
ket with a 48 per cent shooting
average on 12 of 2S field goal at
tempts to give them an average for
the night of 39 per cent on 17 of
43 field goal attempta.
Smyrna hit 29 of 17 foul shot at
tempts for an average of 7S.4 per
cent from the charity stripe. The
Rams made good on 13 of 23 gift
shots.
The Blue Devil junior varsity
played the preliminary ( a m e
?gainst the Havthx* Jayvees and
