Tbs Presbyterian College Blue
Hose host the Newberry Indians
Thanksgiving day in the 57th re
newal of the annual Bronxe Der
by clash, dating back to 1913.
This rivalry is fierce, and ob
tained its Bronie Derby name in
1947 when a Newberry student
snatched a derby from the head
of a PC boy after a PC-New-
berry basketball game, causing
fights to break out all over the
gym. The derby was later dipped
in bronie and awarded to the win
ner of each football and basket
ball game. It is now awarded on
ly to the winner of the football
game.
Newberry will be trying to end
a two-year dry spell, having last
beaten PC in 1965. Last season
the Hose won by a 14-0 count
Overall the series stands at 34
wins for the Hose, 18 losses,
and four ties.
The Indian attack is led by
tailback George Taylor, who set
the school’s rushing mark as a
sophomore. The Indians started
the season off slowly, but have
come around now, and pose a for
midable threat
A number of seniors will be
playing their last game for the
Hose, including co-captain Char
lie Reid. Other senior players
who will see their last action in
a PC uniform are guard Bob
Murray, ends Johnny Bankhead
and Dow Thompson, linebacker
Bobby Byard, tackle Shell Dull,
and backs Dan Eckstein, Bill
Kirtland and Pat Stogner. Punter
Larry Bullis will also be playing
in his last game for PC.
Halfback Bob Hackle and end
Bobby McNair both seniors, are
injured, but the coaches have
expressed hope that they will be
beck in action against the In
dians. Linebacker and co-cap
tain Jim Sullenberger has been
injured all season, and will have
a knee operation over the Thanks
giving holidays.

Pro Scouts
Watch Hackle
And Eckstein
Two professional football
scouts attended Saturday night’s
PC-Western Carolina game and
both were impressed with the two
PC players they came to see,
Dan Eckstein and Bob Hackle.
One scout represented the Dal
las Cowboys and the other re
presented several pro teams, in
cluding the Chicago Bears, De
troit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles
and New Orleans Saints.
One commented, "These two
boys, Eckstein and Hackle, could
play for any college team in the
country.*
The scouts had attended the
Clemson-Carolina game earlier
in the day and one commented,
“You know, the Clemson-Caro
lina game was fine but I believe
this game (PC-We stem) was
more exciting, more wide-open.*

Clinton plays its first home
game Friday, Dec. 6, against Bel

In an experimental program
this year, there will be no girls
varsity team. The girls’ intra
mural program has been expand
ed to Involve more girls in sports
programs. The boys’ varsity
games will be proceeded by Junior
varsity games.
Clinton Coach Tommy Sublett
says, “It’s too early to tell what
type of varsity we will have. We
have been working very hard, pri-
fcetball Team
mtrily on fundamentals and on
defense. Overall, we should have
respectable height
“We’re putting in a new sys

takes time. We will play a dis
ciplined, patterned brand of bas
ketball with emphasisondefense.
We’re trying to get across the
idea that there’s more to bas
ketball than running and shoot
ing. I believe we have some po
tential and ability.*
Candidates for the team are
Chris Adair, Torrence Shealey,
Donnie White, Busxy Tedards,
Jim Johnson, Ronnie Roth, Gene
Simmons, Tommy Motes, Mat
