SDS Vs. Sports
Athletic brass hats across the spectrum of collegiate sports
are bracing themselves for what they feel certain will be an all
out assault on college athletics by militant students this fall.
According to the schedule of national protests, sponsored by the
Students for a Democratic Society, the time is now ripe for a rape
at sports.
The major projects of the SDS began with strikes and protests
over the ages of non-academic employes of colleges and uni
versities. Then came attacks on the curriculum and administra
tions, the ROTC programs and industrial recruiting on campuses
in behalf of American business manufacturing for the war effort
in Vietnam. Now it is time to hit sports.
It is expected that the militants will strike from two directions.
First, they will attempt to convince the black athlete that he is being
exploited, and should renounce any participation in intercollegiate
athletics as an evidence of his disapproval of whatever it is
popular to disapprove at the time it all hits. If black athletes are
not readily convinced by persuasion, they will be coerced and
threatened as they have been many times already. The threat of
being ostracized in the militant black and ultra left wing white
communities is a hard line for a black ball player trying to live
in two worlds. But if this sort of social threat fails to move him
then there may well be threats on his life and the lives of his
family. These things have happened in the past.
With so many talented black athletes participating in college
sports, if their numbers could be turned against the programs it
would be a serious challenge indeed.
Second, the attack is expected to appeal to all students in that
most college athletic programs are financed in part, at least,
by student fees. It will be pointed out that in many cases students
are not able to get tickets to certain events. Why then, it will be
argued, not tear down the whole rotten, capitalistic system? Many
sore heads will buy this, completely unwilling to face the economic
facts of life as they relate to sports.
It is also expected that there will be protest marches and de
monstrations in an attempt to prevent many athletic contests, and
if possible, complete revolt in the player ranks to eliminate the
authority of the coach.
Firm administrators who act like men instead of rabbits can
stop all this before it starts--but they won’t, because there aren’t
any of tha^tjrged wjio will believe what is about to happen.
Bream And Bass
Fishing Excellent
Continued good weather and
water conditions throughout the
state have lead to excellent fish
ing in most areas. Bream and
largemouth bass fishing is ex
cellent throughout the state.
SALT WATER FISHING -

ty continues to be excellent off
Charleston and Georgetown and
pier fishing on the Grand Strand

largemouth bass and catfish are

way Lake.

Hosts Newberry Friday
Legion Team Gets Fast Start
THE CHKONICLE, Clinton, S. C., June 12, 196&—7-A
J
With two wins tucked away,
Clinton’s American Legion base
ball team will visit Ware Shoals
tonight and will play host to New
berry Friday night, June 13.
The Clinton-Newberry game
will start at 7:30 p.m. at the
Clinton Mill Ball Park.
Clinton has shown power at the
plate in its first two games, scor-
tag a total of 31 runs. Clinton
beat Newberry 15-12 in the opener
last Friday and then bombed
Greenwood 16-3 Tuesday night.
Steve Owens and A. J. Cox
each clouted three-run homers to
pace Clinton to its one-sided win
over Greenwood.
Buzzy Tedards went the dis
tance for Clinton on the mound,
spreading five hits across the
Greenwood lineup.
Clinton’s opener Monday night
was a slugfest which the locals
won 15-12.
Although winning, Clinton
Coach Sam Owens came away
highly impressed with the po
tential of the Newberry team.
'They have several talented
boys this season who didn’t play
for them last season. Their team
is greatly improved over last
year and I think they’re going to
be in the thick of things this sea
son.”
Clinton banged out 18 hits and
Newberry had 13 in the game
which lasted three hours, 10
minutes.
“Our pitching wasn’t up to par
and we made too many mental
errors in the field,” Owens said.
Steve Owens, A. J. Cox and
Everett Davis had three hits each
for Clinton while Deedie Duna
way and Stan Elrod contributed
two apiece. Dunaway drove in four
runs. Both of Elrod’s hits were
doubles.
Tommy Motes, who had a 7-1
record last season, started on the
mound for Clinton and went four
innings before being relieved by
Larry Sterling. Sterling, who was
relieved by Lynn Evans in the
ninth, got credit for the win.
Clinton left the bases loaded
three times.

Monday, June 16. The following
schedule will be followed.
Minnow Club for beginners will
meet each Monday, Wednesday,
and Thursday at 9:30 to 10:00.
The Fish Club for advanced be

All persons wishing to attend
these classes should report to the
pools on Monday, June 16, at
class time.
Beginning Monday, June 16, all
YMCA members must present
their YMCA Membership cards in
order to enter the pools. Cards
will be turned in at the central
desk and will be returned upon
leaving the pool. This is being
done so that people can enter the
pool more quickly rather than
having to stand in line to sign
the membership sheet. This will
also give the swimming pool per
sonnel a better record of mem
bership attendance during the day
because many of the younger
children are not able to write
their names.
A notice ofthis change has been
posted at each pool. If anyone has
misplaced their card, new ones
may be secured at the YMCA.
LADIES SOFTBALL
All ladies interested in join
ing the Ladies Softball are asked
