P. C. Fooled Wofford Team
To Win 105-0 in 1914 Tilt
By DOC BAKER
Sports Editor of News & Courier
Wofford is South Carolina’s “big,
Jittle” football giant. Wofford has
created lots of attention in the past
couple of years but in times past ev
erything hasn’t been too rosy at the
Alethodist school in Spartanburg.
/Nobody knows this better than Mr.
Will iam R. Watson, a native of John-1
don. who has been teaching at the |
ti.gh school of Charleston for the past 1
jo years and lives at 63-A Smith
etreet.
Recently Wofford’s Terriers defeat
ed Presbyterian college, 28-7, for
their third straight victory over the
laid sc isons. In 19’.8 Wofford
won 15-6 and in 1949 the Terriers
triumphed 14-7.
Mr. Watson, however, can recall
when, the situation was reversed.
Back in 1914 the Wofford varsity
1« jm met Presbyterian on the grid
iron for the first time and took a
7-0 victory At that time the college
had a preparatory school, the Wof-
f rd Fitting school. Teams didn't
map out schedules a year or so in
tc-.vance as they do these days. At
any rate Presbyterian invited the
WFS gridders down to Clinton “to
play the P.C. bohunks” as Mr. Wat
son recalls. He laughs about what
happened after that.
“We reached Clinton all right,’’
said Mr. Watson, “but found that our
opponents instead of being the sub
stitutes were for the most part mem
bers of the P.C. varsity.”
“Those were the days when men
played 60 full minutes of football.
You can imagine what happened. P.
C. walloped us. 105-0. Eicbelberger,
Blue Hose star of that time, scored
four or five touchdowns by himself
through our line.”
That whs one time the Presbyter
ians really hoodwinked the Metho
dists.
man presiding, and 39 members pre
sent. The executive committee had
met previously to make plans for the
year .
Miss Gladys Robinson, state pres
ident of class room teachers associa
tion, spoke on the subject, “Respon
sibilities That Rest Upon Us Who
Teach.” She was the overnight guest
of Mrs. Workman, local classroom
teacher president.
A social hour was enjoyed in the
home economics room. Miss Mary
Johnson and her committee served
the refreshments. The meeting was
adjourned.
The next classroom teachers as
sociation will be held November 14
at Academy Street school. At this
time all faculty members, superinten
dents, and principals of Thornwell
orphanage, State Training ‘school,
and Clinton public schools will moot

give a report on the National Class
room Teacher conference.
