South Carolina’s Bronze Derby
goes on the block here Thursday
afternoon whert Presbyterian col
lege and Newberry battle in a
season-closing renewal of one of
the state’s oldest football feuds.
A near-capacity crowd of some
4.500 fans is expected to assem
ble at Johnson field for the 2:30
p m. kickoff.
-They will come to watch two
fast small-college teams clash in
this 42nd game of the old-rivalry
which finds ,its symbol today in
the Bronze Derby award. The i
series began back in 1913.
Pre-game estimates rate the
engagement a toss-up as each
team strives for its fifth win of
the year. Newberry has the more
impressive record otherwise
with two losses and two ties com
pared to Presbyterian’s five de
feats.
Both teams thus far have dem
onstrated offensive potentialities
far more impressive than the rec
ord would indicate. The Blue
Hohe, sticking mostly to the
ground, have averaged 314 yards-
per-game against the combin
ed opposition in the past nine
games. Newberry has. moved ef
fectively on the ground, but its
main payoff punch to date has
been through the airlanes.
Newberry suffered a blow to
its attack force ten days ago
when star, quarterback Steve
while leading his team against
Stetspn. Terry Dukes, a talented
junior," stepped immediately into
Peterson’s shoes, however, and
proved thaf he, too, is a man to
be reckoned with as runner arid
passpr.

Bill Crutchfield ready to field
a stable of hard-running backs,
five of whom have exceeded 200
yards rushing thus far.

are others whose recent sparkle
ranks them high among the
Thanksgiving threats. ' Halfback
