The Blue Hose will play host to the Marines on Sept. 14 at Johnson Stadium in a game to shirt at 7:30 p.m. The PC-Quan- tic< i game is the only college game scheduled in the state that day, according to PC Athletic Direc tor and Head Football Coach Cally Gault. Gault said the game will be “Laurens County Night” in honor of the Laurens County boys play ing on the PC team and also in honor of Dixon, a former All- American at LaurensHighSchool and the University of South Car olina. Maj. Dixon, recognized as one of the finest runners in Marine Corps history, coached the un defeated Camp Hansen Strikers (in Okinawa in 1961. In 1962, he was backfield coach and player for the San Diego Marines who posted a 9-2 record. He held the same position at San Diego in 1963 when the team had an 11-0 mark and in 1964 was head coach at San Diego, posting an 11-1 record. Dixon was All-State and All- ACC at USC in 1957-58 and was named to several All-American teams. He had a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Texas in 1956 when USC pulled off a major upset. Quantico replaces Frederick on the PC schedule. Frederick dropped football. Coach Gault said, “This is the SPORTS FANS! I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW By Tom Plaxico Do vou know when the first Indianapolis 500-mile race way run? ... It all started in 1911 . . . It’s been run every year since then except for the war years 1917-18 and 1942-45. » • • Did you know that the famous Indianapolis 500- mile Memorial Day race was not always a 500-mile event? . . . Back in 1916, five years after the “500“ was started, the president cf the Indianapolis Speed way cut the distance to 300 miles because he felt a 500- mile race was too long to hold spectator interest! • • # Did you ever realize how many new automobile features have come about because of auto racing Over the years it has been t h e competition in auto races that developed such things as high compression engines, hydraulic shock absorbers, torsion bars, safer tires, better spark plugs, and better piston rings ... So, we can thank auto racing for these and many other advances they have produced which add to the safety and comfort of our present day passen ger cars. * • • Kinard Littleton, who is remembered as Clinton High’s super athlete, made a touchdown the first time he handled the football in a high school game. In the Abbevile game of 1958, Kinard came in as a sub for an injured player, wa- handed the ball by Quar to: jack Dick Casque (who is now employment super visor at the Torrington Co.) and ran 76 yards for the score. • * * Chevrolet has 23 manu facturing plants and 13 as sembly plants which pro duce and assemble the thousands of items which make up a modern car.

Take your lips, over his. a deep breath, open place mouth tightly BY JOHN BINGHAM YMCA Director More than 40 million Ameri cans will seek fun in the sun through water sports this sum mer, but only a fraction of them will know how to get the most out of swimming. Learning how to swim is the first rule for enjoying yourself in the water. It’s easy, it’s fun and the best time to learn is now. I would like to point out that about half of the 7,000 swimmers who drowned last year were in the water by themselves. Even good' swinuaers use'- the buddy system. Make sure you and your kids use it also. Reviewing other techniques de veloped by the YMCA through 80 years of swimming know how, I would like to warn swimmers about stunts and antics and tak ing unnecessary chances in the water. Comedians belong on the stage, not in the water, where they may find themselves unexpectedly in jured, so stay away from water wrestlers and don’t worry about getting applause from spectators. One should swim only at those beaches and pools protected by trained lifeguards who have the proper rescue equipment. At pri vate pools, a skilled swimmer should always be near, and the pool should be fenced in and locked when not being used. OBEYING warning signs is a good swimming habit too. Let me emphasize the importance of heeding signs telling of shallow water, strong currents, debris and especially polution. Here is a strong warning for parents: Keep your eye on the kids at all times, for they can slip out of sight very easily. Be es pecially aware of them if they’re using inner tubes, water wings, or other floating aids. These de vices could carry them into deep water beyond reach. Don’t be dared into a race you might not finish. Know your limitations. That means not try ing to swim farther or longer than you safely can. If danger comes, keep calm. Take advantage of your body’s natural buoyancy and float. Try to grab on to something until help arrives. Let me emphasize the need for would-be heroes to exercise cau tion when they hear cries for help. You should call for help also. Don’t attempt a life-saving mis sion unless you’re a practiced swimmer skilled in lifesaving techniques. It’s less dramatic but more effective to try to reach the person with a pole, rope, or cloth-1 ine rather than to swim towards him. If emergency artificial res- poration is required, the YMCA recommends the mouth to mouth method because it is effective simple, and easy to learn. But the Y Director hopes that it won’t be necessary to use the mouth-to-mouth or any other method. Artificial respiration is not as easy as it seems. But respira tion can be applied with ease if the proper techniques are learned and practiced. As part of its annual water safety campaign, the Y urges all water sports enthusiasts to learn at least one artificial respira tion procedure. And because of its effectiveness, the YMCA re commends the mouth-to-mouth method: Here is how the mouth-to- mouth method works, in four easy steps: 1. Placing the person on his back, turn his head to the side, forcing his mouth open. Clean his Another effectual method is the well-known 'Prone Pressure’ technique. Laying the person face down, put his hands under his cheek. Facing his head, kneel on one knee. Placing your hands flat on his shoulder blades, rock and shift your weight forwardby rais ing your hips. Then press down slowly. Sliding back, lift his el bows up to ease pressure on his chest. Lower his arms t" the ground and place your hands in position to begin again. Repeat this cycle 12 times a minute. Jellyfish have no head or back- - bone and consist of 95 percent or more water. Salts and other organic material, mostly protein, make up the remainder of the body elements, reports Marineland of Florida.
