High School Preps For Cage Tilts
Clinton high schol has switched
from football to basketball and will
sport a girls team as well as a boy's
team.
The boy’s team will be under the
direction of Wilmot Shealy, who
will be assisted by G. O. Boone. The
girls will be coached by R. P. Wild
er.
The teams are expected to fare
some better this year than they did
last year since last year was the
first time in a long while *tfiat the
school had backed a cage squad.
The schedule contains the top
“A'’ class competition in the upper
part of the state.
Some of the teams on the Clin
ton slate are Newberry, Gaffney,
Union, Greenwood, and Naturally,
Laurens.

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.
Some of the collegiate tilts on tap
