Football Slate Announced
PC To Play Quantico Marines
Presbyterian College’s 1968
football team will open its sea
son against the Quantico Marines,
coached by Laurens County native
King Dixon.
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

Do vou know when the

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

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

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.
In the second game of the eve
ning, the Jaycees met Bell’s
Builders at 8:00 p.m. The Jay
cees opened the first inning by
scoring 3 runs and went on to
defeat Bell’s Builders by a score
of 13 to 5. The Jaycees scored
their 13 runs on 15 hits; for Bells,
5 runs on 10 hits.
Dn Thursday evening. Bells
Builders met Joanna in the open
ing game at 7:00 p.m. in what
proved to tie a very close game.
