Annual Songfest Planned At College December 15 has been set by the PC To Play 25-Game Basketball Schedule Presbyterian College’s Blue Stock- I ing basketball squad will dribble ov- j er a 25-game schedule route during I the 1949-50 cage season. I Athletic Director Walter A. John son has released the year’s slate which has its opening flip on Dec. 6. Presbyterian meets Monaghan Mill then and follows with five other op ponents before the Christmas holi days. Clemson is the only state col-’ lege foe to make that early-season circle, but the Blue Stockings get down to serious Palmetto competi tion with the turn of the year. The doors on the theqtor of grid- aletics were closed and locked here; jn Clinton this past Saturday after noon as the Newberry Indians did' what was least expected of them by | defeating highly favored Presbyter ian Blue Hose in Newberry. The Blue Hose went to Newber ry Saturday afternoon to encounter: the Indians for the thirty-fifth time since the rivalry began In addition to the strong rivalry and self respect at stake the symbol of this rivalry, the Bronze Derby, was in Newberry waiting for the Hosemen to take home, if they won. I The derby had been in Newberry since they won it in a baseball game last year. Newberry Downs P. C. The Newberry Indians took ad vantage of all the breaks which La- • dy Lucy could spare them (and it, seemed that it w as open house on! luck for the Indians) as they came j back in the fourth quarter to hum- j ble the Presbyterian Blue Hose 20- 14 Fred Yarborough was the big gun for the Hose as he roared to both j of the Blue tallies. His power kept him in the spot light for the entire! game Hank Witt, apparently afraid that j his publicity was slipping, comimtt-. rd the spectators to the kind of ; pla)ing which they had read about, but had never quite seen from him • Witt not only displayed his passing' ability but went whole hog and, * laged some fancy running for the usual PC-Newberry crowd Witt meant the difference in the | ball game as he heaved long pass- • ts all during the game The straw which broke the Blue Hoars' back was the 75 yard run rude by an Indian back Presbyterian also suffered penal- ( ties whm they hurt most and thus they had to give up two more pos-, Mble touchdowns, which would probably have wone the game for them. P.C. Backs Have Fine Records At the finale of the season the oackfield aces were sporting some pretty classy records. PC's candidate for Little AIL! American honors, Blake "Kilo ’ Watts, led the running parade writn i total average of 7 3 yards per try He racked up 773 yards on 106. launts and if you don’t believe the statistics stated above you just fig ! ure it out for yourself. George Fleming, from Honea Path,, did no harm to himself as he rolled up 409 yards in 65 tries. He's the boy who chases rabbits on his Dad's farm in the summer to keep inj shape. I Walter Gooch, the third man of , the ten second men galloped off! 400 yards in 80 carries. Seniors Play Last Game For P.C. ' Entering their last encounter un-j der the names of Blue Hosemen were, Bob Stutts, Dick Lindsay, Bill Jol ly. Fred Yarborough, Vernon Dus- enbury, Claude Howe, Shm Baker, and Ralph “Buzz" Tedards. All these played an outstanding game against the Newberry Indians. P.C. Begins Basketball Practice The P C. Blue Hose have started their basketball practice session and are already working their selves in to shape before the sports fans have barely gotten football off their minds. Presbyterian has hopes for a| strong season this yefcr since the. highly touted freshmen players of last yg&r will be eligible to play, in the encounters this year. The bulk of this team will be centered around the boys from In diana. More specifically, the team; will be centered around “Willy”! Groninger. Groninger, with his; famous one-hand push shot and his smart court play rated the All- State team last year although he was only a Freshman. The other boys from Indiana are lanky Kay Hill, Ken Horne, and Lew Hawkins, who is supposed to be one of the best floor men in the state. The remaining former freshman wonder is Kirby Jackson, from Sumter. Jackson displayed all- around ability last year and was one of the few men who could keep up with the fast moving boys from Indiana. Before Christmas the team is scheduled to play several exhibi tion games with noted textile teams in this area such as Pelzer, and Monaghan Mills. They will also en tertain the Independents from Ak ron. Indiana on the night of De cember 9. The collegiate schedule opens on the night of December 10 when the Hosemen travel to Clemson to meet the Tigers.
