The Wildcats threw only one short pass in the sustained drive which featured the running of Booker, Fred Humphrey and Gregory Robinson.

CHS Opens At Georgetown A junior-dominated Clinton High School football team opens its season Friday night at Georgetown. CHS Coach Claude Howe goes into the game looking for quick ness and a line combination. After a scrimmage at Byrnes last Friday night, Howe said, “We were very disappointed. We were flat, terrible. I felt pretty good after our scrimmages against Anderson and North Augusta but Friday night we were lacklustre. We worked out Sat. urday morning and I don’t know when is the last time 1 felt we needed a Saturday workout.* Howe sums up this year’s team like this: “We don’t have enough speed and quickness yet. We’re going to have to get quick before we're a good team. We don’t have that breakway threat but we may de velop it. Powerwise, we’ll be all right and our passing will be ade quate. We’re dropping some passes now but that should im prove. “Defensively, we are as good as we should be. We’re going to need more quickness to play our schedule. We’ll be changing our defensive alighnment to find the right combination.* Concerning Georgetown, he said, “I don’t know a great deal about them. They have good size and heighth and apparently will present a tall, rangy team. Other than that, we don’t know much about them." Of the top 19 players from whom Howe will select his starters, only six are seniors. He listed his potential starters as: Quarterback --- either Bob Grube or Buzzie Tedards, both juniors nate. who will probably alter- Fullback --- Bob Keller or Lawrence Lee, both juniors. Tailback freshman. Jack Hames, a Wingback --- Mac McCrary, a senior. Left End --- either Gene Simmons (170, senior) or Mike Long (150, senior); right end, either Jim Johnson (155, senior) or Matthew King (185, junior); left tackle, either Leonard Floyd (225, junior) or Haskell Patter son (180, sophomore); right tackle, Jack Campbell (215, senior); left guard, Ronnie Cheek (150, junior), MilfordWright(165, senior) or Mike Qrayrtord (160, 4 Junior); right Tat- * terson (190, sophomore) or Steve * Rikard(180, Junior); center, Billy 4 Hamer (200, senior). 4 Hamer has been named captain * of the team.
