THE CUNTON CHRONICLE
Thursday, November 17, 1949
-SPORTS-
Hy DONNY WILDER
The city of Clinton put on their
mourning clothes this past Friday
night as the Clinton high school Red
Devils muffed the last game on the
last lap of the long road to the land
of the undefeated. Clinton lost this
sad game to the Newberry Bulldogs.
The Clinton team did. however
set a high mark for the future Red
Devils to shoot at. This year the
red team won eight games, tied one
and lost one. In winning their eight
games the Clinton Red Devils de
feated some of the strongest "A”
class competition in the upper state.
Some of these teams were Laurens,
Greer, Honea Path, Belton, and
York. York, Laurens, and Greer
placed men on the Shrine Bowl
squad and as a general rule the play
ers on this squad have to come from
a highly recognized team.
In the past three years the Red
Devils have set quite a record. Us
ing the same “T” formation for all
three of these years the red team
has won 23 games, lost five and tied
one. This record could be accredit-
ed to the hard playing of the boys
and the mentorship of Coach Wil-
mot Shealy. who has been assisted
for the past two years by G. O.
Boone Shealy took over with a
A>eak squad but he built the team in-
ro a power house vHiich was dreaded
even by teams which were supposed
to be more powerful. Shealy may
'have some trouble next year, since'
j he loses several of his starting play- |
ers; but everyone may rest assured
that in only a few years he will pro
duce another fire-breathing squad,
j This year Clinton will send sev
eral boys out into intercollegiate
| football and whether these boys make
good in the, fast moving college foot
ball remains to be seen. A few boys
who might be worth watching on the
college gridirons are Eugene Sim
mons. Curtis Freeman, Richard
Hampton, and Alvin Nabors.
The final mark the Red Devils ofi
1949 have left un the future*squads
to shoot at is the record of scoring
199 points as a sum total against all
their foes while they have allowed
the opposition to rack up only 61
' points.

The big Clinton team received ev- i
i ery bad break in the books as the
Bulldogs let them down with a 13
: to 0 defeat.
I Before the encounter the Red Dev-
1 ils were rated as a heavy favorite
! over the dogs but everyone was in
' store for a big surprise as events
went against the Clinton team from
i the very out set of the game.
The teams played a sea saw game
during the first and second quarters I
with the Devils penekarting the dog’s
| territory time and again and the
Bulldogs countered by doing the
same thing but neither team could
quite muster up the vital scoring |
punch which they were striving soj
desperately for.
Newberry took the opening kick
off but on the very first play hard
running Earl McElhannon intercept- 1
ed a Bulldog pass and sprinted 15
yards with his product. Clinton
drove to a first and ten but the blue
team tightened down and held the
Red Devils at bay on the twenty yard
line.
After this first threat both teams
; tried to out do each other in their
drives but neither could reach the!
twin stripes.
In the second half the Clinton (
fumbles fell like rain in Africa dur
ing the rainy season. The Red Dev-'
ils would stage a long drive but 1
would slip back either by strong
penalties or fumbles or pass inter-1
ceptions by the alert Newberry backs
I Newberry drove to Clinton's thir- j
ty yard line early in the fourth quar-'
ter and surprised everyone by mak-j
mg something of this threat A New- 1
berry back heaved a long pass to a 1
lanky end who stretched off the re-
ma.ning yards to a tally. The ex
tra point kick was made good and
the Bulldogs went out front by a
seven to nothing score.
Clinton took the kick off on their
' own ten yard line and began look-.
mg like the team that the spectators!
had seen play all season as they >
drove the ball by sheer force to the 1
Newberry 40 yard market. Here the'
Clinton team must have thought they
could get to that beloved paydirt a
little quicker if they took to the air, j
but a d<>g back intercepted the heave
and stopped the Devil rally right,
there. . 1
Later in the fourth quarter Cur-!
tis Freeman sprinted to the six yard
line but the long run was nulified
by a fifteen yard penality.
Herbert Fallaw hung on to a long
pass and again put the Clinton team;
in scoring position but his pass catch
ing w r as over-ruled by a fifteen-yard
penalty.
A Newberry back intercepted an
other Devil heave and raced 70 yards j
before Richard Hampton overhauled i
him on the ten yard line. From this J
position the Bulldogs went on tol
score but missed the extra point al- j
though they didn’t need it.
i ' This last touchdown took the wind
out of the Clinton’s sails and they'
played the rest of the game in a ser-!
ies of wild attempts to try for a pos
sible come back but they just could-,
n't do it.
The standouts in this game were
Curtis Freeman. Herbert Fallaw,!
Jimmy Few and Eugene Simmons. |
l We would have mentioned Richard
Hampton in the list above but he
deserves more than mere words can i
say. ' *
Hampton went into the game on!
offense with a broken collar bone 1
and each little jar his shoulder re- !
ceived felt as though someone was 1
ripping the arm off but he remained |
in the game and played his heart out :
at his quarter back position although
he could have taken himself out at
any time he pleased since he was |
I one of the Red Devil’s captains. Ri
chard ran the ball one time when he i
was trapped trying to get off a pass!
i and he displayed his usual form of j
; swivelhipped running as he reeled |
' off fifteen yards before he could be
brought down. Even then his run
was brought back by a fifteen yard
penalty. On another play it was
Hampton who saved the Red Devils
from the disgrace of another Bulldog
touchdown as he overtook a New-
j berry back who was supposedly on
his way to a touchdown. Hampton
j hit the boy with his broken should
er and had to be taken out of the
game.

P. C. Meets Newberry
The Blue Hose from P. C. will
journey to Newberry this week-end
to meet the Newberry Indians for
their last and most important en

On this game I have one thing to
say—NO COMMENT.
