Clinton defenders include Mike Crawford (50), Joe Crawford (52), Gene Simmons (84), and Tarry Schedule, Inexperience Leave CHS With 2-9 Looking back over his first losing season in five years, Clin ton High School football coach Claude Howe commented, “Itwas a disappointing season, to say the least. However, looking back over it, I can see we just had an awfully tough schedule for a young bunch of boys." The team which featured pri marily juniors went up against Woodruff and Belton-Honea Path who play Friday night for the Upper-State AAA title and Wade Hampton which is in the AAAA playoffs. “Most of the teams we played ended up with pretty good records. I can see two games we could have won but lost. I think we’ve gotten some good exper ience playing this tough schedule and it should pay off with the ones returning next year." Clinton will have 15 lettermen returning. Howe said, “These are true lettermen. They all played quite a bit. We have several others also returning who may help with another year of maturi ty.’ Howe’s previous worst record in nine years at CHS was a 3-8 mark when the Red Devils lost five games by one point. In the past five years, his pre vious worst season was 7-3. Clinton dropped its ninth de cision, against two wins, last Friday at Woodruff, 33-7. Crawford was credited with be ing in on 15 tackles. End Jim Johnson, a senior co-captain, also played a bang-up game and was in on 11 tackles. Hamer was credited with nine tackles. McCrary carried seven times for a total of 74 yards rush ing and Hames got 42 yards in six carries. In the Woodruff game, the un defeated Wolverines used four touchdown passes to defeat the Red Devils. Quarterback Deedie Dunaway threw three of them and Rick Cherry threw the other. Woodruff went in front 6-0 when Dunaway connected with James Ferguson on a 17-yard scoring pass in the first quarter. Full back Nate Glenn scored the se cond touchdown from six yards out in the second period. Trailing 13-0, Clinton struck back quickly. On the first play from scrim mage, junior Mac McCrary broke offtackle, shook off a couple of tacklers and raced 33 yards be fore being headed off at the Wood ruff 30. On the next play, freshman Hourly earnings of textile pro duction workers in 1968 are 33 per cent higher than in 1961. Be ginning in 1966 and on through 1967, textiles wages increased at a greater rate than did those of production workers in all non durable manufacturing Industries combined. Jack Hames burst around end, got a step on the secondary and outran the Wolverines for a touchdown. John Thibodeau, a senior tackle, kicked the extra point and the Red Devils had cut the margin to 13-7. However, Woodruff came back to score again before halftime as Dunaway passed nine yards to flanker Johnny Sloan for a 19-7 halftime lead. Woodruff shutout Clinton in the sqcond half while tacking on 14 more points. Cherry passed seven yards to Sloan on a half back option and Dunaway tagged Ferguson with a 37-yard touch down pass for the final score. Mike Crawford, a 160-pound junior middle linebacker, played a rugged game for the Red Devils and was in on numerous tackles during ttie night. Also doing yeo man duty on defense for Clinton was captain Billy Hamer, a 200- pound senior center playing his final high school game. Duck Season Set Nov. 27-Jan. 15 The duck season, including coots and mergansers, opens No vember 27, the day before Thanksgiving, but hunters are not expecting much shooting un til later in the season, when cold weather drives the ducks south ward. One cheering fact for duck hunters is that the season runs until January 15, a week later than in recent years. The common and justified complaint of duck hunters has been that many of the ducks did not get down un til after the season had closed. The daily limit on ducks is three with six in possession but there are special regulations covering some species. For in stance, the daily bag limit of ducks other than mergansers shall not include more than two wood ducks, one canvasback or redhead, two black ducks and two Western Has Strong Runner *1 mallards. The possession limit shall not include more than four wood ducks, one canvasback or redhead, four black ducks and four mallards. The limit on mer gansers is five daily and 10 in possession, of which only one daily and two in possession can be hooded mergansers. Coot limits are 10 and 20. Shooting hours for all migra tory game, except doves, are from one-half hour before sun rise to sunset, including opening day. The second half of the split dove season opens December 6 and closes January 15. A federal stamp costing $3 is required of all migratory wa terfowl hunters over 16 years old. The stamps are on sale at Post Offices. They are not required for doves and marsh hens. BY JOE NIXON Defensive Backfield Coach Presbyterian College I saw Western Carolina, our Saturday opponent, play New berry last week and they had a good game. Western won 28-0. Fullback David Lomax, their biggest offensive threat, gained almost 200 yards rushing against Newberry. A 5-10,195-pound sen ior from Thomasville, N.C., he needed only 80 yards against Newberry to set a Western Caro lina rushing record. He’s strong and he’s also a break-away threat. Lomax is probably the leading fullback in the Carolinas Conference. They have a balanced offense with a little more emphasis on running than passing. However, Don Dalton, a 195-pound junior quarterback from Henderson ville, N.C., is a capable passer. He set a school record by throw ing four touchdown passes in their homecoming game, an upset win over Emory & Henry. That’s the only game Emory & Henry has lost. Emory & Henry beat Appa lachian last Saturday. Dalton’s favorite receiver is sophomore end Woodie Woodruff from Savannah, Ga. He has caught 24 passes this year. Their defensive line is strong and big. Tackle Keith Elliott is probably their best defensive player. He’s a 190-pound senior from Brevard, N.C. Guard David Roberts, a 230-pounder from Spartanburg, also is plenty good. We may get to see some action from a Clinton bfty who’s at West ern. Freshman Steve Grady, who was captain of the Clinton High team last season, is listed as their starting middle linebacker. He suffered an injury earlier in the season and didn’t see too Thomwell Opens Basketball Slate Dec. 3 At Home Thornwell High School’s var sity basketball teams will open their schedule Dec. 3, playing host to Lockhart. Eighteen of the 19 games on the schedule are scheduled to start at 7 p.m. The Gray Court-Owings at Thornwell doubleheader is to start at 7:30 p.m. All of the games are double- headers with the girls’ team playing the first game.

Western has beaten Guilford, Catawba and Newberry in addi tion to Emory & Henry and they lost to Carson-Newman, Appala chian, Lenoir Rhyne and Elon. Their head coach, Dan Robin son, is retiring at the end of the season so this will be his final game as head coach there. That probably will give them some added incentive to close the sea son with a good effort against us. * --- Indicates game. '1 NOW OPEN!

LR is 4-1 in the conference, with one game left to play, while the Hose are 3-1, with two games left to play. The Western Carolina game will be a severe test for the Hose, as the Cats have shown steady improvement since the start of the season. WC has two proven performers returning in the backfield, quar terback Don Dalton and fullback David Lomax. The Cats are in experienced at several other po sitions, but these weaker spots are growing stronger with each game. Last season the Hose took a 10-0 victory over Western with Larry Bullis’ punting playing an important role in the win. Bullis constantly kept the Hose out of trouble with his booming punts. Against Carson-Newman, PC built up a 23-14 lead, only to see it become a one point de ficit because of a 10-point surge by the Eagles in the last period. C-N scored early in the game on a one yard plunge by Rod Wampler, and David Pitt’s kick made it 7-0 Jerry Chandler’s 36-yardfield goal pulled the Hose up to 7-3, and PC went ahead in the second quarter on Dan Eckstein’s 48 yard touchdown run. The kick for the point after failed, making it 9-7 in favor of the Hose. PC built up a nine-point lead when Bill Kirtland hit freshman halfback Johnny Jackson on a 14 yard scoring toss. Chandler’s kick made it 16-7 with 7:03 left in the half. C-N cut this lead to 16-14 on a 25 yard toss from Dale Ru therford to Jones, and Pitt con verted, giving PC a two point lead at the half. Eckstein went over from six yards out in the third quarter, and Chandler again converted, making it 23-14. In the fourth quarter a 26 yard field goal by Pitt and*Wampler’s second TD of the day, followed by Pitt’s third PAT gave the Ea gles their 24-°9 win.
