Blue Devils, Seadogs Score Wins Last Quarter Rally Nips Eagles 57-53 A tremendous last half rally that saw them come from behind an U-point deficit, paved the way for the Smyrna Blue Devils' 15th win of the year Friday night as they downed the stubborn Morehead City Eagles 67-53 after the Eagles had led virtually throughout the contest. The Blue Devils were cold from the floor in the first half while the Eagles were hitting4 the basket with relative consisten cy. As a result Morehead City went ahead at 6-5 and then increased this lead to eight points at 17-8 by the end of the first quarter. The pattern of the game didn't change much in the second quarter as the Eagles managed to maintain their lead over Smyrna, thanks to some good shooting on the part of John Phillips and Harold Wheal ton. As the buzzer sounded at half time the Eagles were packing a seven-point lead of 26-19. The Blue Devils warmed up somewhat in the third quarter to outscore the Eagles for the first time. They managed 16 points while holding Morehead City to 15. This narrowed the Eagle advantage to 41-35 at the end of the period. It was in the third quarter that a mild scorekeeping dispute arose in the game. Late in the quarter j a Smyrna field goal tied the score & at 37-37, at least so everyone ( thought, as this was the score post- <j ed on the scoreboard. The More- c head City scorekeeper ( who is con- ? sidered to be the official scorekeep er because the game was played ^ on the Eagle court) said that the 3 score should be 41-35 in favor of Morehead City. Since this was the score showing in the "official" scorebook the referees had no al ternative but to order the score board changed to coincide. Two Smyrna scorers had the score at 37-37 in their books. The Blue Devils continued to hack away at the Eagle lead in the fourth quarter and went ahead of Morehead City "officially" at 45-44. ? The Eagles managed to tie the score twice at 48-48 and 52-52 but fouls hurt them in the final minutes of play as the Blue Devils sank four straight free throws for the final victory margin. The shifty floor general of the Blue Devils, Curt Nelson, grabbed scoring honors for the game by dropping in 16 points. He was fol lowed by team mates Horace Law rence and Carroll Hill who each had 14. John Phillips and Harold Wheal ton led the Morehead City attack with their 14 points apiece while George Styron collected 11. Phil lips was forced to leave the game late in the fourth quarter when he drew his fifth personal foul. In the preliminary game the Smyrna girls had to stave off a third quarter rally by the Eaglettes which they did and chalked up a 77-S7 win. At one point In the third quarter the Eaglettes pulled to within seven points of the Smyrna lead at 51-44 but the scoring com bination of Brenda Golden and Carolyn Phelps proved to be more than they could cope with. Though the score would hardly seem to indicate it, the Morehead City guards turned in an outstand ing performance in the back court as they consistently out-rebounded the taller Smyrna girls. Virginia Thompson. Dana Dickinson. Sally Simpson, Sara Davis and Sue Smith all saw action at the guard posi tions for the Eaglettes In the front court coach Helen Jernigan found Jier most unified scoring combination of the year as she floored a trio ?f forwards who all scored in double figures. Nancy Duke, who led the- team in scoring for the last two games, was high for the losers with 24 points. She was followed by Alta Dickinson with 17 and J oh nice Doahier who taUied 16 Brenda Golden paced all scorers for tbe game by tossing in 39 point*. Her team mate Carolyn Phelpa finished with 34 and Rose Arthur contributed four.

Viewing kr Larry McComb Seadogi Honor Gridderi Beaufort high school had its annual football banquet Wednesday night in the school cafeteria and the food and the evening's program proved a fitting tribute to the 1959 state Class A champions. One of the highlights of the program, along with the talk of guest speaker Earl Edwards of North Carolina State college, was the presentation of the outstanding performance awards to the players. Receiving the trophy as the best blocker on the team from Gehrmann Holland wbr All-Conference end Cal vin Jones. Calvin, a senior, played right end opposite his brother David and was one of the Seadog standouts all year. The trophy for the outstanding sportsman on the squad went to senior Freddie Hooper and was present ed by George Bridgers. Freddie was the 'silent man' in the Seadog forward wall during the season but there was nothing silent about the way he plugged up the holes on defense to stop opponents ground attacks. The most improved player award went to a player whose talents were virtually unheard of in 1958 but by the end of the past season he had stamped himself as one of the all-time greats in Beaufort football history. Making the presentation to Ernest (Power) House was Albert Chappell. To the surprise of no one, the trophy for the most outstanding player on the squad went to senior quarter back Butch Hassell. Tt was Butch who supplied the spark that kept the Seadogs going on their climb to the state championship and his feats on the gridiron this year have become almost legendary. Besides being a gifted athlete with exceptional abilities Butch proved to be an outstanding leader on the squad. Receiving more honors in one year than most players are able to accumulate in four years, Butch was named to first string All-Conference and All-Eastern berths and was last week named honorable mention on the All-America team. I had the honor of presenting the award to Butch. The after-dinner talk of coach Earl Edwards of State college followed the presentation of the awards and Ed wards recounted some of the highlights of the past State season that diln't get into the newspapers. He supple mented his talk with a collection of humorous stories. The State mentor was introduced by Glenn Adair. Other speakers on the program included Beaufort's mayor W. H. (Piggie) Potter and head coach Curt Lan caster. Special guests at the banquet, in addition to as sistant football coaches Jim Fodrie and Tom Hewitt, were superintendent of schools, H. L. Joslyn; Beaufort principal Albert Gainey and athletic director Tom Mc Quaid. Gifts to the coaching staff from the members of the team were made by Denard Harris and Butch Hassell. That's 30 for now.
