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

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.

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

Thornwell High School’s var

much action against Newberry but
he may be ready to go against
us.
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.

Big Play Erases
Strong PC Effort
BY MIKE SIMONS
The Presbyterian College Blue
Hose get back into the thick of the
Carolinas Conference title fight
Saturday night when they host the
Western Carolina Catamounts at
7:30 p.m.
The Hose moved into a vir
tual tie for first place in the
conference with Lenoir Rhyne
when the Bears fell to Elon this
past weekend. 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.
