THE CHRONICLE, dinton, S. C„ Oct. 10, 1968—17 Clinton Hosts Unbeaten Wade Hampton Friday Clinton High School’s Red De vils play host to one of the top teams in the state Friday night as undefeated Wade Hampton comes to townfor an 8 p.m. game. Wade Hampton has a 4-0 re cord while Clinton is 1-4 after losing last F riday to Lower R ich- land 32-13. Clinton Coach Claude Howe said, “Wade Hampton probably is the biggest team we’ve played so far. They start nine seniors and two juniors. The boys form ing the nucleus of the team have played together for about three years. “Their entire backfield is very good and some of them are ex ceptional. Their fullback, Robert Honeycutt, is considered one of the outstanding college prospects in the state. He’s a 200-pound senior. “Wade Hampton has been pri marily a running team because they haven’t had to pass. I guess their closest game was 23-7 win over Anderson.” The Generals are ranked seventh in the state and fourth in Class 4-A. The Wade Hamp ton game originally was sche duled to be the CHS homecoming but that event has been switched to Oct. 18. Concerning his team’s per formance against Lower Rich land, Howe said, “Lower Rich land had too much speed and finesse for us. It’s hard for a slow football team to play catch-up and that’s the position we were in. They hit us quick for a couple of touchdowns and we never could catch up. “I was pleased that we didn’t just fold up. We kept battling back and finally got on the score board. ’ Lower Richland scored on its first play from scrimmage as Chuch Beatty went 60 yards on a screen pass from Tony Ale- wine. Beatty scored three of Lower Richland’s touchdowns. He also ran for scores on plays cover ing 20 and six yards in the third period. Eddie Sveum scored on a six-yard run and Bruce Nel son tallied on a 10-yard pass from Alewine. Clinton got on the scoreboard in the fourth period as Bob Keller punched over from the three. End Matthew King scored on an 80-yard pass play from quarter back Bob Grube. King tapped the ball up once, gathered it in and raced in for the score.

Other . Thornwell Homecoming Game Friday BY MIKE SIMONS The Thornwell Saints followed the running of halfback Maynard Pierce to an easy 39-0 victory over the South Carolina School for the Deaf. Pierce scored three times, and had two TD’s called back. Thornwell’s first score came on a four yard run by Pierce on a quick pitch with 3:07 left in the first quarter. The PAT '' attempt was no good. Thornwell scored again early in the second stanza after re covering a SCSD fumble on the SCSD 11 yard line. Pierce went over from six yards out on a fourth-and-five situation, making it 12-0 with 11:14 left in the half. Just before the half Pierce had scoring runs of 76 and 81 yards called back. On the first run a procedure penalty nullified the play, and on the very next play the referee ruled that time had run out before the ball was snapped. Thornwell’s Jerry Watts took the second half kick-off on his own 10 and returned it all the way, but the play was called back because of a clipping penalty, putting the ball on the Saints’ 12 yard line. This time the Saints marched to paydirt in just 10 plays. Pierce went in from the two with 5:07 left in the third quarter. In this drive Pierce had runs of 45 and 22 yards. A high snap from center gave Thornwell another scoring op portunity, and with two seconds left in the period Watts hit Craig Brock with a 13 yard scoring strike. Midway through the last quar ter Jerry Kemp broke loose for a 38 yard touchdown scamper, making it 30-0 with 8:00 left In the game. Moments later the Saints tackled the SCSD runner in his own end zone for a safe ty, giving them a 32-0 lead. The Saints last score of the night came with 4:12 left, when Watts intercepted a pass and re turned it 20 yards, and the PAT was tacked on, making the final score 39-0.
