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.

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.
