The Beaufort Seadogs’ 38-0 win over Pamlico last
Friday marked the eleventh consecutive win for the de
fending state champions and the fifth consecutive game
in which thdy have not allowed their opponents to score.
Starting with the playoff games last year the Sea
dogs blanked Erwin 12-0, outgained Mt. Olive 0-0,
edged Norlina 7-0, spanked Andrews 20-0 and now have
routed Pamlico 38-0. In the five games the Seadogs
have scored a total of 77 points to their opponents’ 0.
This gives Beaufort an average of 15.1 points per con
test.
So while the Seadog offense, last year featuring the
one-two punch of Butch Hassell and Ernest (Power)
House and this year the talented ball carrying of Ray
Hassell, Eddie Taylor and House, have been getting
most of the credit in glowing game accounts, it becomes
apparent that the Seadog defense also warrants some
laud its.
Some members of the Seadog offensive unit remain
in the lineup when Beaufort is on defense but head
coach Curt Lancaster does have several gridders that
are strictly defensive players and it is these defensive
specialists that are the foundation of the Seadog de
fense.
Heading the list of defensive specialists is rugged
' John Nelson, who plays the outside linebacker slot. The
others are 200-pound Luke Salter, scrappy Floyd Tem
ple and veteran George Noe. Noe, a defensive regu
lar last year for the state champions will play some of
fense this year for Lancaster, but you can be sure that
when the opponents have the ball, rugged George will
be in the lineup.
Last year Beaufort had only six touchdowns scored on
them in 13 games and blanked eight of their opponents.
Two touchdowns was the most scored against them in
May game and two teams accomplished this feat. Camp
Lejegne scored twicer downing Beaufort 15-7, and ^
Farraville scored two in losing 18-14.
In order to have any hopes of successfully defending
their state championship the Seadogs are going to have
to be as good or better on defense than they were last
year. They are off to a good start and only time will
tell how well they can hold off their opponents.
fearless Fraley’* Fractured Forecast
Our football forecaster, Fearless Fraley, got off to
somewhat a bad start last week by missing on two of
six predictions sent in. Bpt this week’s letter from the
•fearless one says that it’s too .early in the season to get
discouraged. His two misses (he picked Morehead City
over Richlands and Havelock over Ayden) give him a
percentage figure which he hopes to improve with
these |picks fpr tonight:
Ayden over Snow Hill, Camp Lejeune over Havelock,
Fgrmville over Contentnea, Williamston over Roberson
ville, Mt. Olive over LaGrange, and Swansboro over
Burgaw.
On the local scene Fearless picks Beaufort unmerci
fully over Vanceboro and New Bern over the Eagles.

Conference Clash to Bo
Played at Vanceboro
Barring interference from Hurricane Donna, the Beau
fort Seadogs will go after their first conference victory of
the I960 season tonight against the Vanceboro Red Raid
ers at Vanceboro.
4n the Red Raiders the Seadogs will be up against prob
ablv the lightest team they will face all year. The eleven
vawceboro starters weigh in at ant
average of 139 pounds per man.
This is exactly 28 pounds per man
lighter than the Seadog average of
167 pounds.
In practice sessions this week,
head coach Curt Lancaster and his
staff have been working to correct
some of the mistakes that the Sea
dogs made against Pamlico, par
ticularly their timing errors. “We
have a lot of, trouble getting off
with the snap of the ball,”' said
Lancaster Wednesday. “We had
the same problem last year and
we’ve got to find a way to correct
it,” he added.
Last Friday Vanceboro won their
first game in three years as they
downed Columbia 6-0. Head coach
R. H. Stone said Wednesday that
the team's biggest problem is
overcoming their defeatist atti
tude. “We’ve got a very young
and green team,” said Stone, “but
getting that win over Columbia
proved to the boys that they can
win some and I’m sure that it’s go
ing to help us a lot.”
Most of the Red Devil experience
is in the backfield where Stone has
two starters back from last year.
Halfback A1 McLamb and fullback
Kit Sawyer are the returnees. Last
year Sawyer was the team’s quar
ter back but has been switched to
the fullback slot this year. At 175
pounds he is the heaviest player
on the Raider roster,
Lancaster will start basically the
same team as he did seven days
ago against Pamlico with the ex
ception of the right guard position
where either Gray Simpson or Pig
gie Potter will start.
Only one injury has turned up
in practice this week. Junior var
sity center Pat Smith received a
badly cut lip Tuesday in a scrim
mage session. .The cut required
seven stitches but Smith has been
given an okay by doctors to play
this week. "r ' ■*' •
By winning tonight the Seadogs
could pull into a tie for second
place in the conference. Ayden,
26-6 victors over Havelock last
week, are currently occupying the
top rung with their 1-0 record. La
Grange is in second place with a
record of one game won and one
half game lost.
Since Beaufort and LaGrange
don’t play each other this year,
the ruling of the conference was
that both teams would have to open
! t be season with a half game lost
record. Neither Ayden nor La
Grange play conference tilts to
night.
Tentative starting lineups for the
two teams are as follows:
