A Greenville bow and ar
row hunter who recently fell
ed a six-point buck in the
Enoree section of Sumter Na
tional Park says the deer
hunting in the Clinton area is
“fabulous.”
James E. 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.

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

Coach Claude Howe.
In summing up his estima- §§§§
tion of the up-coming game,
Howe said. “Other than Bel-

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.
