Swdog of th« W—k Seadogs Prove That Champions Fight Back G*ry *uiums Vic Smith Curt Lancaster ^ Fl°yd Temp/p ■A sm' Ath 0* V. <t? ««6c \ ✓ T< Jo»cs *Oi V 4fe vw V'v^6 >» cn Aot V ,ltcf E % BUl*h rrts S» A®* v,* o** \ ) *V«A *r. %. Jeff Salter **>/, °H hi Ernest (Power) House *t sv '7/, Jf>b, V ‘fjo, ^e//\ ^ -fafa, **e" •Ve/s, son In selecting the Seadog of the Week this week a variation from the normal procedure has been made. Instead of selecting an in t dividual player, as is usually done, this week’s Seadog of the week is the entire Beaufort team and its coaches. There is a reason, and a good one, behind the selection. It’s known to the players and coaches, although probably not to the Sea dog rooters. Part of it started with the Have lock game three weeks ago. * Against the Rams the Seadogs were a dead team. Tftey were held to a scoreless tie by a team they were favored over by three touch downs or more. “The night we played Havelock, we weren’t playing together,” says head coach Curt Lancaster. “But in between the Havelock and Swansboro game the boys got themselves together, worked out their problems and the result was the play the fans witnessed against Unbeaten Ayden Rides Conference-Top Spot The Beaufort Seadogs moved up a notch in the Coastal Conference ' football standings last Friday night as Robersonville dropped from the loop's undefeated ranks by bowing 25-6 to Ayden. The loss dropped the Rams into fourth place in the conference with a 1-1 record and moved the Sea dogs into third behind Ayden and • LaGrange. All three of the top teams are still undefeated in con ference play, however LaGrange has one tie on its record and the Seadogs have two ties. Top conference clashes tonight » t have LaGrange meeting Havelock at Havelock and Ayden hosting Farmville. The Havelock encoun ter marks the first stiff conference test of the year for LaGrange and the outcome will be watched care fully by other conference teams. Beaufort, pre-season favorite to cop the conference championship, will have their hands full this week Fabulous Fishing... By Bob Simpaon Ocean pier Ashing is excellent for spots, now that the fall run has really started. At Sportsman pier, fishermen were carrying off spots by the tubful, and they were big ones. Puppy drum and black drum, 2 to 3 pounds, were fair, with some sea mullet and croakers, scattered blues and pompano. Oceanana’s Ashing was describ t ed as the best of the season, with spots leading. There was also a variety of other fish: puppy drum, blues, speckled trout, pompano, sea mullet and croakers. Early morning fishing was also off to a good start. Spots led the list from Iron Steamer pier, and fishing was ex cellent. Other species reported: large pompano, blues up to 2 * pounds, puppy drum, and sea mul let to pounds. No telephone communications to the Triple-Ess or Thompson’s, and no word via the grapevine. Surf fishermen at Morehead pier were getting about equal numbers of spots and pompano, along with some good-sized blues. Puppy and black drum, sea mullet and Aoun der were scattered. H, G. Malkins, J. E. McKinney and W. G. Blown, Reidsville, Ash ing in the surf on Bogue Banks, caught 102 pompano, forty Boun der, spots and sea mullet. A. P. Jacowski, Jacksonville, caught a 2V4-pound blue. Puppy drum are biting in the surf on the east beach and around the point at Cape Look out. Swansboro Friday night,” he add ed. The story could have ended aft er the Havelock game. The team could have made excuses for them selves, for their showing and gone on to similar performances. But the Beaufort Seadogs are still state champions and, like champions, they realized something was wrong and they decided to do something about it. They placed no blame on anyone but themselves. Against Swansboro it was the same boys in the same uniforms but it was a different team. They combined harmony and teamwork with the kind of football they are capable of playing and the result was a 33-0 win over the Pirates. Before the season is over a lot of challenges will face the Sea dogs. If the 29 players and three coaches named above meet the up coming challenges with the same sober realization and determina tion with which they licked their recent problem, it’s going to be a rewarding season. in entertaining the Camp Lejcune Devil Pups, before wading into the thick of the conference wars next Friday. After tonight’s non-con ference battle the Seadogs will tackle Contcntnea, Farmville, Rob ersonville and Ayden on succes sive Fridays. As of today, the conference standings are as follows: School W L T Ayden 3 0 0 LaGrange . 10 1 Beaufort .1 0 2 Robersonville . 1 1 0 Havelock 111 Contentnea .1 3 0 Farmville . 0 1 0 Vanccboro .... 0 2 0 RESULTS LAST WEEK Havelock 7, Contentnea 0 Ayden 25, Robersonville 6 Beaufort 33, Swansboro 0 Mt. Olive 24, Farmville 6 LaGrange 33, Midway 0 t Puppy drum, spots and croakers were reported at Cedar Island beach. A few speckled trout are appearing in the trout holes off Harkers Island. At Bunch’s Cairtp on Newport river, skiff fishermen reported improved catches of spots and hogfish. Gray trout are good around the Atlantic Beach bridge. At the first of the nor-easter, catches of king mackerel offshore went as high as 24, then fell off as the blow continued. But the kings are big ones: a 21-pounder was brought back to Hill's Marina, by Ralph Dows of Winston-Salem; anglers at Anchorage Marina re potted kings in the 12-pound class and a few blues. Big kings were reported by the Davis boats. Miss Sally had 13 kings, Claudia Sue, 9 kings, 5 false albacorc, Judy, 2 kings, 7 false albacore. Kings aboard Douglas weighed up to 17 pounds. Bill Schieffelin and par ty, Raleigh, aboard Sam ’n' Dan and Douglas, had 7 amberjack, 10 false albacore, 4 kings. Howard Kiger, Winston-Salem, reported 7 kings and 7 false alba core aboard Johnny Styron's Syl via. There were five kings in the catch aboard New Moon. Gannet had 8 kings; Bunny, 5; Rockalong, 8. Lois Nancy came in with 12 albacore, 4 kings; Tom ’n’ Jerry, 11 kings; Mattie G, 7 kings; Harriet L, 8 false albacore; Shell Point, 8 kings; Greta D, 8 false albacore. From the Dolphin fleet, 12 kings aboard Dolphin IV, 11 kings aboard Dolphin. Eagles, Seadogs at Home Seeking Revenge Victories by Larry McComb Midgets Accept Bowl Bid It looks as if a Morehead City Midget football team is going to get a bowl trip after all. Several months ago the Midget program was sent a feeler to play in the an nual Kids Army-Navy Bowl in Philadelphia but this game was awarded to a New Hampshire team and the hopes for a local bowl trip were just about abandoned. This week however, the local league accepted an in vitation to send a team to a bowl game in Columbus, Ga., on Nov. 19. The team that wins the Morehead City Midget Football League will represent the league at the Georgia game. All four of the teams in the league are playing this season with 17-player rosters but since a roster of at least 25 players is needed for the bowl game, seven or eight additional players from the other teams will be selected. The additional players will supplement the winning team. The Morehead City Football Boosters club, with help and donations from local individuals and organizations, is shouldering the expense of the trip which will run over $500. The Midget program, as well as the town of More head City, stands only to gain from the game the Na tional Pop Warner Football Conference, the organiza tion that sponsors the bowl games, will arrange a simi lar game next year to be played in Morehead City. This means that our town will be playing host to an other Midget team from some part of the country and will receive national publicity of the event through the Pop Warner organization. The Boosters club needs your help. Make a contri bution to help send your team to the bowl game. Dona tions can be made to any member of the Boosters club or to Dr. Robert Barnum or Nick Galantis. They may also be mailed to the Morehead City Football Boosters Club, Box 426, Morehead City. Send yours in now. !?*&@*$@*! The above line in this eoMmn usually reads Fearless Fraley’s Fractured Forecast but this week we decided to print just one of Fearless’ choice remarks after he read the papers last Sunday morning. W’hen he first picked up the paper Fearless was all smiles as he went down the list of football scores and saw he had six of the first seven correct. Then he came to the Atlantic Coast Conference results and almost choked on his orange juice. He missed on all three of his Big Four predictions. After getting him into a straight jacket, doctors were able to calm Fearless with tranquilizers and advised him to read the paper after taking his orange juice here after. Expecting the worst this week Fearless has sent in these picks: Syracuse over Kansas, Notre Dame over Purdue, Clemson over VPI and Georgia Tech over Florida. In the Big Four his selections are Duke over Maryland *(or vice versa), UNC over Miami (or vice versa), Wake Forest over Florida State (or vice versa), and NC State over Virignia (or vice vesa). On the prep scene Fearless says that the Seadogs should muzzle the Camp Lejeune Devilpups and the Eagles will keep the Jones Central Rockets from get ting off the launching pad. Both of these games are grudge matches and promise to be real affairs. That’s 30 for now. Advance Preparation Okemah, Okla. (AP)—Thoughtful thieves slashed the \ires of the town’s only police car just before they carted off a safe from the Farmers Union Co-op Gin. Offi cers were inside a nearby cafe drinking coffee. ic [ Race to be Oct. 9 The 25-mile race at tljc Go-Kart track, Atlantic Beach, will be Sun day, Oct. 9, and not Sunday, Oct. 2, as stated on this page Friday.

FOR TRIALS Single Engine — Any Class Both the Morehead City Eagles and the Beaufort Sea dogs will be out after revenge tonight against the teams that handed them their first losses of the year last season. A year ago tonight the Eagles took a three-game win ning streak to Trenton and were upended 25-13. The same afternoon the Seadogs had suffered their first and only defeat of the year, bowing 15-7 to< Camp Lejeune. Both Jones Central and Camp Le jeune visit the county tonight and the Eagles and the Seadogs will be ready for them. In Beaufort the word is that half back Ray Hassell will be ready to go and will see a lot of action Ray's arm was removed from a cast last Friday but he was held out of the Swansboro game to give the elbow another week's rest. “It’s been killing him to sit out these last three games." said Lan caster yesterday. "The swelling in his arm has gone down and we feel that he'll be able to play,” he added. As of yesterday two Seadogs re mained on the doubtful list for to night’s game. Linemen William Cole adn Gray Simpson are both laid yp with bad colds and aren't expected to see much action. Center Frank Sides, who injured his back in practice, has been working out light this week hut will be in the starting lineup. Sides played one of his best games last week despite the injured back. Another doubtful is end George Noe who has been sitting out be cause of recurring blisters on his foot. If Noe is able to play he could be used at center in relief of Frank Sides with Johnny Has sell being called on to man George’s end position. Lejeune coach Tom McGee says that he will bring an inexperienced team to Beaufort for the non-con ference clash-. Only three of his first eleven were starters last year with sophomores holding down most of the positions. McGee’s re turnees include guard Mike Smith, tackle King Thackenhurst and full back Dick Dube. So far this year the Devil Pups have played three games and have come out on the short end in two of them. After losing to Havelock they beat Beulaville and then lost to Norfolk Catholic. Last year the Devil Pups compiled a 5-1 record. In Morehead City the Eagles have been practicing hard in prepa ration for the Rockets. Injuries which kept David O'Neal and James Nolan out of the Dunn game have meen mended and the squad will be at full strength for tonight's game. Rocket coach Vaughn Fowler will bring a 22-man squad to Morehead City that lists six player? who-were starters last year. “We have the experience but just don’t have the size,” said Fowler by telephone Wednesday. The Rockets will field an offen sive eleven that averages only 159 pounds per man. Tackle Howard Pruitt is the heaviest player on the squad at 185 pounds. The loss of his first string full back, Fletcher Smith, has forced Fowler to play Billy Banks, a 155 pound freshman, at the position. Banks is the only inexperienced back though, as Fowler has the two halfbacks and the quarterback returning that led the Rockets to a 6-4 record last year and the run nerup spot in the Coastal Plains conference race. In four games this season the Rockpts are all even at two wins and two losses. They have beaten Selma 6-0 and the Wilmington B team 20-7. Their losses have been to 1-A powerhouses James Kenan and LaGrange. Both of the games will get under way at 8. Tentative starting line ups are as follows: CAMP LEJEUNE Name, pos.

Chuck, now in his second year as a starter for the Eagles, is one of the most versatile athletes in the school's history. Besides foot all, which is his best sport, Chuck is also a starter on the Eagle bas ketball and baseball teams. Even in a football uniform his talents are not restricted to one specialty. Last year he started the season at fullback for the Eagles and later was shifted to guard in an attempt to bolster the Eagle line. He made the transition with no JONES CENTRAL Name, pos.

Big Red for ward wall. Chuck was born in Charlotte, but has lived in Morehead City for the past eight years. In sixth and seventh grades, he was a member of the high school band but later gave up the band to participate in athletics. This year the 185-pound guard has been one of the main reasons other teams have found it difficult to score on the Eagles. His rug ged play on the line has discour aged more than one opposing quar terback to send a ball carrier his way. Chuck is a member of the First Presbyterian church in Morehead City. After graduation from high school he hopes to study dentistry at one of the state institutions. He rates English and French as his favorite high school subjects. ‘Year of Jubilee’ Minneapolis (AP)—Formation of the American Lutheran church, through a merger of three Luth eran branches at a convention here, marked the start of a "Year of Jubilee” for the new church, ex tending into the spring of 1961.
