Walters of 25 Buckingham Road in Green ville. killed t h e 150-pound buck about 6:00 p. m., Fri day, with a lung shot. The area in which he was hunting is about nine miles from downtown Clinton. He hit the buck about 30 yards away. He took only one shot dur ing the day of hunting and made that one count, but said, “The weeds are full of deer. I must have seen 20 deer during that one day. I saw; more deer in one day in the Enoree section than I did in several days of hunting earlier in the week at Forks Key Bridge (another part of Sumter Forest near McCor mick).” A design draftsman for Lockweed-Greene in Spartan burg, Walters took up how ahd arrow hunting last No vember after being shot with a rifle on a hunting trip three years ago. “Bow and arrow hunters are so much safer to hunt with,” he said. “After I got shot several years ago, I just gave up hunting. Howev er, I love hunting and I miss ed it. That was when I was introduced to bow hunting.” Walters shot his first deer with a bow and around Christ- last year in Pisgah National Park near Brevard. He got another near Caesar’s Head. Both were does. The deer he got in the Clinton area was his first buck with a how and arrow. He said, “This is the best deer hunting area that I’ve seen for bow hunters. I saw a track out there that was made by a deer that must have weighed at least 300 pounds.” Concerning the difference between bow hunting and gun hunting,* Walters -said, “The gun hunter hunts on his own terms. He shoots his gun and- the deer starts running, react ing to the blast. The bow hunter has to pick a spot where the deer wil come past him. He has to be camouflag ed and Works on the principle of an ambush. If a deer comes near, you can’t bat an eyelash. If you open your mouth, a deer 20 yards away can hear your heart beat.” Petty Hopes To Finish With A Win WEAVERVILLE, ft. C. — A good beginning deserves a good ending, and Richard Petty will be out to achieve just that when he takes to the track for the tenth annual running of the Western North Carolina 500 at Asheville- Weaverville Speedway on Sun day, Nov. 5. Petty started his record- breaking year with a victory in the first race of the NAS CAR Grand National circuit season, a 150-miler at Au gusta Raceway. The Western North Carolina 500 is the last race of the season, and Petty hopes to close out the year just as he began it —with a win. Presbyterian College will try to stop the passing of Jimmy Poole this week-end when the Blue Hose travel to Davidson, N. C., for a clash with the Davidson Wildcats. Kickoff time is set for 2 p. m. Pass defense has been a weak point for the Hose and a strong point for the Wild cats so far this season. Last year against'PC, Poole filled the air with passes enroute to a 49-13 drubbing of the Hose. PC will attempt to bounce back from a 21-20 loss to Elon last Saturday. The Hose, ninth-ranked in the nation among small colleges at the time, fell to the hard-hitting Christians despite the record- breaking performances of quarterback Bill Kirtland and halfback Francis Cooper of Clinton. Kirtland completed 14 of 24 passes for a record 252 yards, surpassing the old record of 232 yards set in 1951 by Jack Harper. A Kirtland-to-Cooper pass initon, S. Thursday, October 12, 1967 Thornwell Homecoming Set Friday Thornwell’s football players hope that the “homecoming jinx” is strictly a myth. Thornwell last week spoiled Calhoun Falls’ homecoming 17-7 and this week Thornwe 1 will play its homecoming game, against Jonesville at 8 % o’clock at Thornwell Friday. At stake will be the runner- up spot in the Northwestern 1-B Conference. Slater-Ma i- etta, thk third-ranking 1-B team in the state, already has wrapped up the ttitle. Thornwell and Jonesville both have 3-2 over-all marks and are 2-1 in the conference Thornwell lost to Slater-Mari etta 25-0. . Thornwell’s defensive unit has been nick-named “The Spoilers” and that’s exactly what they did for Calhoun Falls’ homecoming. “Our defensive unit jelled in the Calhoun Falls game,” Coach Ben Crabtree said. “The entire unit played well. Linebackers Jerry Watts and Jerry Chandler, tackles Ray Rowe and Harvin Kellam were particularly outstand ing. On offense, we got good blocking from center Scott Wood, and guards Sam Dau gherty and Pat, McKee. We gained primarily up the mid dle and they were doing most of the blocking. Although they didn’t score, Randy George and Tim Coppick ran well. Coppick was moved to fullback for this game and did a fine job of blocking.” Jerry Chandler threw two touchdown passes agajnst Calhoun Falls. He hit May nard Pierce for 55 yards in the first quarter and for 52 yards^ in the third quarter. covered 78 yards, breaking the old record by one yard. The old record belonged to Frank Sutton and quarter back Dick Meisky, and was set in 1940. Elon end Richard Mc- George caught a seven-yard pass from tailback Burgin Beale with 5:40 left in the game, and Perry Williams added the extra point to give Elon its come-from-behind win over the heavily-favored Hose. Clinton Faces Major Game The Clinton High School Rod Devils will face their toughest opponent thus far . I. . £ t . when they travel to Union Friday night, according to Coach Claude Howe. In summing up his estima- §§§§ tion of the up-coming game, Howe said. “Other than Bel- ton-Honea Path, we haven’t really played a real toug l h, good football team this sea son. But that’s what we will be up against Friday night in Union. k They’re a strong, season ed team that has size and finesse.” ’ Howe said Union is pri marily a running team and its ground game features ^ halfback Tommy Simmons, a senior who has starred for tho Yellow Jackets since he was a sophomore.
