Dunn Gets One; Eagles Get None Seadogs Score in Every Quarter, Smother Out-Manned Pirates 33-0 In Seadog Ground Attack House, Taylor Big Guns By BILL KIRK and BILL MORGAN The Beaufort Seadogs, still smarting from a scoreless tie with Havelock the week before, showed no mercy on the Swansboro Pirates Friday night as they struck for touchdowns in every quarter to blank the Pirates 33-0. Led by the ground gaining of Ernest (Power) House and Eddie Taylor, the Seadogs moved for three first half touchdowns and then added two in' the last half. House led all Seadog ball carriers with 141 rushing yards on 11 carries for an average of 13 yards par carry. Taylor, playing his finest game to date, averaged eight yards per carry on ■seven carries. Each had one touch down. The Seadogs got their machine like running game back to pre Havelock form as they waltzed through the Pirate defense for 301 yards. Pud Hassell also gave the offense a big boost with a passing game that saw the big quarterback connect on six of seven aerials for 63 yards. The Seadogs started their scor ing parade early. They opened the i game by kicking off to Swansboro. Beaufort held the Pirates and forced them to punt. The kick was taken on the Beaufort 36-yard line and from here House and David Jones moved the ball into Pirate territory. After two long gains by House, David went around end for 11 yards to give the Seadogs a first down on the Swansboro 20. Pud then called on Eddie Taylor and the fleet half back took a pitchout and sped down the near sideline for 20 yards and Beaufort’s first touchdown. Ernest House was stopped on the try for extra point. After taking the Seadog kickoff the Pirates were again, forced to kick as they could manage only five yards on three plays. * Johnny Hassell took the Mike Miller kick on his own 44-yard line and returned it 15 yards to the Swansboro 41. Taylor then picked up 11 yards and Ernest House blasted over the center of the line, got in the clear and went 30 yards standing up for the touchdown. The big fullback added the extra point, bucking over from two yards out. In the second quarter, a Beaufort penalty and a 20-yard run by Mike Miller gave the Pirates two succes t siye first downs before the Seadog defense tightened and forced Swansboro to kick. The kick rolled dead an the Beaufort 37-yard line. From their own 37, the Seadogs marched down to the Pirate seven yard line on six plays. House ate up most of the yardage as he reel ed off runs of 14 and 27 yards. The touchdown play was a seven-yard sweep by David Jones. On the ex tra point attempt. Pud Hassell car Camp Glenn Belts ! 9th Graders 33-0 The Camp Glean seventh and t eighth grade football team showed a lot of power both on the ground and through the air Saturday night as they rolled to a one-sided 33-0 win over the Morehead City ninth graders in a game played on the high school field. The Camp Glenn eleven struck for three touchdowns in the first half and added two more in the last half. Fullback Donald Oglesby was the big man in the Camp Glenn at ' tack as he scored two touchdowns. Eddie Morton, John Lee and Don ald Yeager scored one touchdown apiece. Yeager’s tally came on a 20-yard pass play from Camp Glenn quarterback John Lee. Yeager also had two extra points on line bucks and Lee tallied one point after touchdown. ried the ball over for a Beaufort lead of 20-0. At this point the Pirates took to the air in an attempt to score, but after completing one pass for 12 yards, saw three of their aerials fall incomplete. They dropped Mil ler back into punt formation but the snap from center went over the head of the little quarterback and he was spilled 25 yards behind the line of scrimmage to give Beau fort possession on the 24-yard line. The Seadogs seemed on their way to a fourth touchdown but a third down pass from Pud to Ray Hassell was intercepted by Swansboro sec onds before the halftime whistle. In the third quarter the Seadogs had their initial drive halted on the Swansboro 21-yard line by a fumble. After taking the Pirate kickoff and marching 47 yards on the ground and in the air, Pud Has esll dropped the ball and Swans boro recovered. The fumble only delayed the Sea dog touchdown as, on the next se ries of plays, Pud hit Johnny Has sell on a 27-yard pass that moved the ball down to the 16 and then two plays later the senior signal caller crashed over from five yards out. Pud lofted a pass to George Noe for the extra point and a 27-0 Beaufort lead. The final Seadog touchdown came midwa^in th^ fourth quar ter xraen Ernest (’Power) House in tercepted a Mike Miller aerial near the Swansboro 35-yard line and ran it back to the 29. From here it took the Seadogs only two plays to score as Pud Hassell ripped off 20 yards on an option play and then hit George Noe in the end zone with a scoring pass. The try for extra point failed. The game ended with the Sea dogs on the march again after George Noe had intercepted a Swansboro pass.

Here they were held on downs though and Camp Glenn took pos session of the ball and dominated play the rest of the way. Both teams will be in action again this Saturday night at the high school field as the Camp Glenners take on the seventh and eighth grade of Swaosboro and the ninth graders meet the Swansboro junior varsity. The first game will get under way at 0:30, according to Lenwood Lee. Since the school is trying to raise money to purchase equip ment for the teams, an admission of 25 and 50 cents will be charged. ‘Reppy mix* ■*, ihvelmpsay Vieou+Uj, SpotiU l»y Larry MaComb Offense vs. Defense or Vice Versa? Unless the situation changes drastically between now and Nov. 4 the traditional Morehead City-Beaufort Mul let Bucket clash will be a story told in the Eagle de fense against the Seadog offense. In four games to date the stout Eagle defense has held their opponents to only three touchdowns. In the same number of games the Seadogs have scored 23 touchdowns. This means that opponents have been scor ing at the rate of five points a game against the Eagles while the Seadogs have been demoralizing their foes at an average of 37 points a game. Supplying the Beaufort offensive punch has been the ball carrying of Ernest (Power) House, Ray Hassell, Eddie Taylor and David Jones. The heart of the Eagle defense has been linemen Chuck Sledge, Thomas Fish, Leslie Nelson and Bill Wade. What will happen when these two teams go up against each other is anybody’s guess. Theorists, for centuries, have been overworking their slide rules on a similar problem pondering the irresistible force vs. the immovable object. Perhaps Nov. 4 will bring an an swer to the question. Perhaps it won’t. Now, let’s take a look at the other facet of both teams: Morehead City’s offense and Beaufort’s defense. Herein could lie the meat of the matter. Against four foes the Eagles have scored six touch downs or 1.5 per game. This appears to be a fairly re spectable average but Iookii^fuitHer into the picture, it’s noted that five of these six TD’s came against one opponent, the Wilmington B team. In two of their games the Eagles have failed to score. They were tied 0-0 by Richlands and shut out 6-0 by Dunn. This could indi cate that the Eagles are in trouble offensively. Now what about Beaufort’s defense? In four games they have yet to have a touchdown scored on them. They beat Pamlico 38-0, Vanceboro 79-0, Swansboro 33-0 and tied Havelock 0-0. The Seadog defense hasn’t gotten a stiff test as yet but another point to consider is the fact that they have held their opponents to an average of just a fraction over two first downs per game. All four of their opponents have been held to less than 60 yards total offense. Before the two teams get together in Morehead City on the night of Nov. 4 to settle the question for another 12 months the Eagles have four games to play and the Seadogs five. How they fare in these games might give a better indication of what can be expected in the Mul let Bucket clash, but I doubt it. William Shakespeare and football are far removed from each other but Mr. Shakespeare may have hit upon the best way of evaluating pre-game statistics when he said, “A story told by idiots, full of sound and fury sig nifying nothing.” I’m certain he wasn’t referring to foot ball but in any Morehead City-Beaufort game his wis dom may aptly be applied. That’s 30 for now. Car, Truck Collide; Truck Driver Charged A 1959 pickup truck driven by Oliver J.

Lone TD Brings 6-0 Green Wave Victory By SHIRLEY FREDERICK and GEORGIA MIZESKO The Green Wave of Dunn high school struck for one touchdown in the second quarter Friday night and then played a game of keep-avvay with the Morehead City Eagles to register a 6-0 win over the Eagles in an im portant non-conference clash. Final statistics showed that the Green Wave controlled the ball for a total ol 58 plays troms scrimmage while the Eagles main tained possesion for only 19 plays. The Eagles were held to a mere 16 yards rushing and only one first down. Dunn took the opening kickoff and marched upfield with the ball eating up yardage both on the ground and in the air. After Gale Tart had moved the ball into Eagle territory with two fine runs, Dave Dixon put the Green Wave into scoring position by completing passes of 15 and 12 yards that moved the ball down to the Eagle two-yard line. This was as far as they could get though, as Dixon fumbled on the next play and the Eagles recover ed. Morehead City moved the ball out to the nine-yard line on runs by Ernest Lewis and Chuck Sledge and then punted on third down. Dunn took the Ernest Lewis kick in Eagle territory but again were stopped on a fumble. The end of the first quarter came seconds later after the Eagles had kicked to Dunn. An exchange of punts in the sec ond quarter gave Dunn the bail on the Eagle 33-yard line and five plays later they were to score the game’s only touchdown. Carmen Barefoot started the drive by pick ing up three yards and then Jerry Barnes followed with two. On third down Dixon was stopped after a pickup of two yards to bring up a fourth and two situation. Gam bling on fourth down, Dixon hit Tart with a pass that was good for 15 yards moving the ball down to the Eagle 10-yard line. Tart went the final 10 yards on the next play for a 6-0 Dunn lead. The try for extfe point failed. The first half ended with the Eagles in possession of the ball. The third and fourth quarters ! were ninth the -Same story as the [ first half. The Eagles couldn’t gain against the stout Dunn defense and didn’t manage a first down until early in the fourth quarter when two pass plays netted 12 yards. Dunn, although not being able to score in the last half, racked up 65 yards from scrimmage and con trolled possession of the ball. Head coach Norman Clark was forced to go all the way in the game with his second unit quarter back Bernard Leary as torn back muscles kept starter David O’Neal from seeing any action. James Nolan, the Eagles’ regular left halfback also missed the game on account of a badly bruised hip. The win was the first victory of the year for the Green Wave. The District Two Southeastern Confer ence members had previously lost to Fayetteville and tied Gamer. The loss dropped the Eagles’ rec ord to one win, two losses and a tie. Next week the Eagles entertain the Jones Central Rockets in a Coastal Plains Conference game in Morehead City.
