night as far as the spectators w v erej
concerned since it was sea saw all
the way to the final two minutes.
Everything was played in a re
verse form with the usual teamman
Paul Nye racking up twenty points |
and the high scoring - ace, Willy
Groninger fireing in only nine tal
lies.
The Presbyterian Blue Hose held
a one point lead over the Wofford-
ians with a little over two minutes
left to play ” in the fracas. Skinny
Powel, Wofford’s big gun, burst
the PC bubble by dropping in two
free throws from the charity line
to put his team ahead By ESi one
point margin which eventually meant
the game for the boys from Spartan
burg.
The Terriers put a tight defense
on Presbyterian high Hying big tal
ly man, Willy Groninger ancT" the
boy from the local school just could
n't find the necessary breaks which
are needed to fire in the big totals. 1
Paul Nye was the only man who
could break through the tight de-j
fense.and he made the best of it in'
making his twenty tallies.
Groninger Makes All State
Willy Groninger, Presbyterian lor-
ward, made the All State collegiate
basketball team for the second year
in as many chances.
Dwight “Willy” “Easy” Groninger
got off to a slow start this year and
didn’t really hit his stride until about
one full quarter of the hardwood
season had dwindled in to the re-
memberence of the fans and the!
players.
Once Dwight finally hit his stride
there was no stopping him and hei
began to look like the dead eye Gron
inger of last year as he racked up
points in the twenties for a number!
of games.
Groninger is a sophomore and has
two mbre years of eligibility so!
there should be some good things!
coming from the Presbyterian cam
pus for the next couple of years.
Cavaliers Sign Livingston
The Clinton Cavaliers began as
suring themselves of a pretty suc
cessful season as they began gala- 4
vanting around and signed some of
the most wanted players in the tex-j
tile leagues. The biggest ’“find” in|
the Central Carolina league was the
signing of former big league catch
er, Mickey Livingston, who put his
John Henry on a Clinton Cavalier
contract.
Livingston, who hails from New
berry, originally,, lacked two months
to the day being a ten year major
league perforwner. This year the club
which owned him wanted to send
the big man to St. Paul, a Tripple A
class club but Livingston refused to
go. He figured it wasn’t worth the
trouble and everyone thought he
was on the short end of a rotten deal j
any way. When Livingston announ
ced that he wasn’t going back to the
major league club but he might con
sider playing some' textile baseball,
the local Central Carolina league
clubs and others wore a six foot
path by running to his doo^ with
-the best offers they could possibly
offer, heedless to say the Clinton!
won out and it isn’t because
LJvingston “feels some strange at
tachment to the fair city”. One of
the things which might have in
duced the famous catcher to come
to this team is the manager of the
'49 Cavaliers, Claude Crocker. Crock
er seems to have a way of getting
good ball players—or maybe he
just has a big check book.
Another coveted player w r hich will
be- in the Clinton fold is Rowe w r ho
lead the South Atlantic league in
hitting last year as he pounded the
ball for the Macon Peaches. This
was probably also some more of the
handy work of that man called
Claude.
Crocker said that he was still on
the outlook for a good right handed
pitcher. He has his eye on two boys
but nothing definite has come of thej
bickering so far.
