County Headliner Tonight
The weather may be oil the cold side tonight but in
the Beaufort gym there will be nothing cold about the
anticipated shooting exhibition that will be staged when
the Smyrna Blue Devils and the Beaufort Seadogs clash
head-on in their first meeting this year.
Both teams have shown, up to this time, that they are
high scoring outfits. The Seadogs lead the county in of
fensive statistics, having scored an average of 74 points
a game in winning eight straight. The Blue Devils have
proved no slouches either in getting the ball through the
hoop as they sport an average of 72.4 points a game for
15 contests. They became the first team in the county
to hit the century mark for the year last Tuesday when
they walloped Pamlico 100-69. Beaufort's high for the
year was the 95 points they scored against Atlantic.
The big question on almost everybody's mind concern
ing the game is, "Will the Beaufort press bother the
Blue Devils?" Coach Jim Parkin has two of the finest
ball h-tndlers in the county in Curt Nelson and Dale
Lewis and it isn't expected that the press will upset the
Blue Devils to the extent that it has other Beaufort op
ponents. The Blue Devils were pressed for four quar
ters by Pamlico and managed to score 100 points, which
speaks for itself.
In the shooting department the two teams rate about
even. Beaufort's shooting power lies in its two outside
men, Butch and Ray Hassell, and Pud Hassell on the in
side. Smyrna can match this trio with Braxton Piner,
Dale Lewis, Horace Lawrence and Curt Nelson. Against
Pamlico the Blue Devils hit better than 65 per cent of
Ulgir shots from the floor. Piner hit an amazing 10 of
13 field goal attempts while Lewis sank seven of 10 and
Lawrence made good on 11 of 15. As a team, the Blue
Devils made 37 of the 56 shots they took.
The department in which Smyrna could have a slight
edge is the all-important rebound department. Horace
Lawrence and Carroll Hill, both 6-4, do most of the re
bounding work along with rugged Dale Lewis. In the
Pamlico game Lawrence had one of his finest rebound
ing nights of the year pulling down 17 off the boards.
So all indications are that the game will be a close,
high scoring affair. The two teams are one and two in
the county and both will be trying to protect an eight
game winning streak for the year. Beaufort, of course,
is undefeated while the Blue Devils have racked up. eight
straight after losing early season tilts to Aurora and
Swansboro. For the season, the Blue Devils' record is 13
wins and two losses.
The preliminary game between the Beaufort and
Smyrna girls also shapes up as a real battle. The Smyr
na girls have now won six of their last seven games and
seem a real threat for the county title.
Beaufort, after getting off to a slow start, has come
on lately to win two of their last three.
That's 30 for now.

The Morehead City Eagles got back on the winning trail
Tuesday night with an easy 78-48 win over the winlcsa
Atlantic Pirates in a game played in the Eagle gym.
After a *Iow fir?? quarter which saw the Eagles lead
ing by 11 points at the end of the first quarter and only
seven at halftime, the charges of'
coach Gannon Talbert warmed up
in the second half to wilt the Pirate
defense with a 46-point barrage.
The score at the end of the first
quarter was 17-6 and at halftime
the Eagle advantage was 32-27. The
Pirates outscored the Eagles 21-15
in the second period for their best
quarter of the night.
After the rest period Jimmy
Smithwick and John Phillips went
to work and the Eagles broke the
game wide open. Their spread at j
the three quarter mark was 54-39
and they increased this in the last
quarter to the final 30-point victory
margin.
Sophomore Jimmie Smithwick
turned in his highest scoring per
formance of the year, 21 points, to
take scoring honors for the Eagles.
Senior John Phillips finished with
16 points on five field goals and six
free throws.
Scoring honors for the game how
ever went to Bobby Nelson of the
Pirates who pumped in 26 points,
10 of which came from the free
throw line. Nelson was the only
consistent scorer for Atlantic how
ever as eight points by Danny Har
vey was the next best effort for the
Pirates.
In all the Eagles had five players
hitting in double figures as Tom
Thompson and Harold Whealton
each collected 11 and George Sty
ron was credited with 10. Chuck
Sledge had seven points for the
winners and Dan Wade contributed
two.
The preliminary game saw the
Eaglettes go down to their ninth
straight loss as they bowed 62-51
to the Atlantic sextet.
The Atlantic attack was led by
Bonnie Brickhouse and Linda Tay
lor who scored a combined total of
51 of the Pirates' 62 points. Brick
house accounted for 31 of these
which tied her for game honors
with the Eagles' Alta Dickinson.
Johnice Doshier scored 15 points
for the losers while Nancy Duke
garnered four and Andy Piner one
point. Portia Salter also saw ac
tion at a forward post but failed
to score.
The Eagle guards, playing with
out the services of starter Georgia
Mizesko, played one of their best
games of the year. Veterans Vir
ginia Thompson, Lorraine Hatcher
and Dana Dickinson saw the bulk
of the action in the back court with
Sally Simpson substituting.
Mizesko was put out of action
for two weeks in the Wallace game
when she suffered an ankle injury.
The Eagles have also lost the ser
vices of Glenda Morton who will
be out for the rest of the season
