Hosts Newberry Squad Legion Team Opens Friday Clinton’s American Legion baseball team will open its sea son Friday night, playing host to Newberry in a game slated to start at 8 p.m. The game will be played at Clinton Mill Park. Clinton’s second outing will be Tuesday, June 10, when the locals play host to Greenwood. Other teams in the five-team League 8 are Ware Shoals and Abbeville. The Clinton juniors have played two exhibition games against other Legion teams, losing both by a score of 5-2. Clinton lost to Greenville and Spartanburg in the exhibition tilts. However, Clinton Coach Sam Owens said, “We have some good boys on the squad. In the exhi bition games, we didn’t have our whole team together since we also are drawing from Laurens and Whitmire and both of those high schools were involved in state playoffs.” Owens is particularly en couraged about gaining some players who didn’t play last sea son. Clinton High pitcher Buzzy Tedards is expected to be one of the mainstays on the mound. Ar nold Leitzey, a shortstop from Whitmire, didn’t play last sea son but has shown a lot of po tential. He had three hits last week in the state class A A champ ionship game which Whitmire won. Outfielder-catcher Deedie Dunaway, quarterback of Wood ruff’s championshi football team last season, is a candidate for the team. Dunaway underwent an operation last summer and was unable to play. Dunaway’s home is in Enoree. ★★★★★★★★ Dr. Grube Scores Ace At Lakeside Dr. Robert Grube of Clinton scored a hole-in-one Tuesday af ternoon at Lakeside Country Club. Dr. Grube fired his ace on the 170-yard, par three seventeenth hole. He said, “We were looking into the sun and couldn’t follow the flight of the ball but we heard it hit the flag. It must have gone in on the fly.” Dr. Grube was playing in a fivesome with Dr. Red Sullivan, Abit Alexander, Ttim Baldwin and Earl Pitts. It was his first hole- in-one in the 10 years he’s been playing golf. He had a score of 90 for the 18 holes. Another prospect who was un able to play last season is cat cher Everett Davis of Laurens. A student at Clemson, Davis is ex pected to give Clinton extra bat ting power.

Billfish Tourney Has Big Catch Clemson's Frank Howard Clemson’s Frank Howard, billed as the Baron of Barlowe Bend for his frequent appearances on the after-dinner platform, seems a little defensive when discussing his recruiting, but there is no lack of confidence in the outlook of the nation’s most durable football coach. The truth is that Paul Dietzel over at Columbia has been cutting a wide path through the heartlands of Palmetto high school athletic talent, and the Tigers have had to forage in wider circles to get the kind of athletes they want. But Frank says he doesn’t care where they come from as long as they can play, and he has a long record behind him to prove his judgment and that of his staff is sound. There will be no crepe hung here for Clemson, because under Howard the Tigers will continue to be as rambunctious as ever. There are, however, those among the alumni of Clemson who have faint hearts and livers of the pullet variety. The very prospect of success at Co^umpi? J>as frightened them, and forgetting the many bowls and myriad of championships which the Baron has won, they are screaming for a youth movement in the coaching staff. As one who is a little sick of youth as now constituted, the maturity of the Tiger coaches in a happy situation. Ten Years Smarter One does not become incompetetent simply because he reaches a certain level of age. After all, Colonel Sanders never fried a chicken until after he was sixty-five, and he is doing okay. The only difference between Frank Howard now and ten years ago is that he is ten years smarter. He has built Clemson athletics from nothing to one of the soundest programs in the nation. What’s more, it is solvent. His IPTAY (I pay ten — now twenty — a year) was a revolutionary idea to attract the bulk of the athletic monies from small contributors. Its success is a story in itself. The day of Clemson’s dominance of football in Sandlapper land is over. Dietzel and the Gamecocks are going to be tough, but the Tigers will be, too. It ought to now become a toss-up rivalry. South Carolina staggered around like a blind dog in a meat house for years and was often unworthy of being the top rival for the Tigers. Now what it all adds up to is that the teams will meet on more even terms, not necessarily always favorable to the Gamecocks. So, Clemson alumni, do not panic and run amuck. The same steady hand is on the tiller and the ship is on a safe course. But there are always a few gutless ones who run at the first prospect of a fight, and these are already disappearing in a cloud of red South Carolina dirt. Coach Howard and the Tigers are better off. Better to fight the battle with a handful of loyal warriors than to lead an army of sunshine soldiers who always desert under fire. * * * YMCA Report Women's Softball League Organizes BY JOHN BINGHAM YMCA Director WOMEN’S SOFTBALL All women in the Greater Clin ton area who are interested in forming an adult Women’s Soft- ball League will meet at the Clin ton High School Field on Monday, June 9, at 7:00.

DAY CAMP Registration for Day Camp is Freshwater fishing is on the up-swing throughout the state with most areas reporting good catches, but top awards must go to saltwater fishing as national attention has suddenly been fo cused on billfish activities off our coast. The Second Annual Georgetown Billfish Tournament, held last weekend, produced more billfish than any two-day tournament held on the East Coast since 1963. In all, nine billfish‘Were' boated including seven Blue Mar lin, two white marlin and one sail fish. Seventy-five Billfish were reported raised and 21 were hooked and lost. Many of these would probably have been boated had it not been for a heavy con centration of sharks. Tlie Blue Marlin Competition was won by Mr. Richard Hutson of Charleston, with a 324 pound catch and second place went to 13 year old Kenny Fitzgerald of Georgetown, S. C. with a 304 pound prize. The success of this event is due to the efforts of its spon sor, Mr. Wallace Pate of George town, S. C., and indicates a val uable but heretofore untapped re source.
