J THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., August 21, 19697—7-A BILL CURRIE Mouth of the South It's That Time Richardson Is Pleased With Spirit At CHS Swim Team Closes At Easley • # This is the time of the year when all college football coaches are regarded as sage and thoughtful men, diligently making pre paration for a serious campaign against well equipped and highly trained enemies. Most of them, regardless of how bleak their prospects may be, face the unborn season with a decided air of optimism. Even those who know their players are big-footed, dumb, slow and lacking even basic skills hope for a miracle. Good football teams are not made entirely on the practice field. Actually the field is only an assembly plant where the various components are brought together. Winning and losing are both products of recruiting. Actually then, the only trick in the game of football is to get better players than the other guy can find. A couple of generations ago a spy sneaking into a football game to diagram plays might well find himself leaving town astride a rail, wearing a cloak of tar and feathers. But then the etiquette of the game progressed and the spies became scouts and were welcomed and given the best seats in the house. Even then, however, it was dirty pool if anyone attempted to make motion picutres of his opponent. But in these enlightened days the teams exchange film and when they finally play each one knows all about the other. Then it is a matter of who has the best players. Sometimes a team will change its basic offense or defense for a particular game, but this is a desperation move, and since an opposing team can quickly make adjustments to neutralize any unexpected strategy, most coaches will go with what they have practiced and can execute best The old concept of a secret play is just about passe. The de tailed film analysis which all teams now do on their opponents enables a coaching staff to know not only what each player does, but based on his capability the coaches can frequently foresee what he might do and can thereby often anticipate any new strategy which might be used. Casey Stengel said, “If you ain’t got no animals, you ain’t got no circus." Football coaches, not withstanding pre-season hope, can apply this adage and read the handwriting on the wall, even in August. BY BEN WHAM YMCA Swim Coach , The YMCA swim team will bring the season to an end Sat urday when they travel to Eas ley for a meet with the Easley swim team at 11 a.m. The Clinton team has shown a great deal of improvement in the past two weeks and should finish the season on a strong note. Gault Says Attitude, Pride Hold Hose Key Attitude and pride will hold the key to Presbyterian College’s football success this year, Head Coach Cally Gault told Clinton Rotarians Tuesday. Speaking at the civic club’s luncheon meeting, Gault said, “This is a year of caution as far as our football program is con cerned. Some fine athletes who carried us to some good records for the past four years have grad uated. We lost some others for disciplinary reasons and we lost some who failed academically. “However, we aren’t bringing out the crying towel. As far as I’m concerned, we’re going to win them all. We are going to have to depend a lot on attitude and we aren’t going to have time to feel sorry for ourselves. Attitude and pride are going to have to carry us through. * Gault said that seven players who were first stringers in last spring’s practice won’t return this season. He also said, “Our backfield, both offensively and defensively, probably will be our weakest point." The PC football players will report Friday, Aug. 22. Friday will be “picture day* and prac tice begins on Saturday, Aug. 23. The annual PC Football Jam boree, sponsored by the Walter Johnson Club, is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 2. The Blue Hose open their sche dule Sept. 13 against the Quan- tico Marines at Quantico, Va. Their first home game will be Sept. 20 against Furman. Archery Hunt Rules Given The archery hunts on the var ious gape reserves around the state giye hunters the chance tp put their skills against both large and small game. The bow sea son is shorter than the regular hunting season, but there is ample time for the interested hunter to take part in this form of hunt ing. The state is divided into three hunt areas, or units. The hunting seasons are different in each of these areas, and the hunt er should familiarize himself with these seasons. In Hunt Unit I which en compasses most of the lower part of the state, the archery season is from Oct. 3-18. The limit for this hunt is two deer of either sex. All small game also is open game for the archery season. In Hunt Unit n, an area that covers the Sandhill Region, particularly around Columbia and Sumter, the archery season lasts from Sept. 29 to October 4. The limit for the hunt is the same, two deer of either sex. Hunt Unit HI, the area that in cludes Clinton and the Sumter National Forest, currently has no archery season this year. This is because there is a scarcity of deer in this area, and state con servation authorities are trying to increase the number of deer before allowing a diversification of the types of hunts that are available. The rules for archery hunting are much the same as for the regular hunting season. No dogs are to be used during these hunts. The animals may not be hunted from moving vehicles. The hunter may not use cross bows or drug ged arrows. Of course, hunters should follow all of the safety procedures that are necessary, such as wearing bright colors. Bell Street Hopes Are High The Bell Street High School Wildcats began their football practice last week in preparation for the season that begins Aug. 29. Coach W. E. Little said there are 45 boys out for practice. This in cludes 10 returning lettermen. According to Coach Little, he is expecting a successful season. He is relying heavily on the re turning veterans to stabilize the squad that will be largely made up of newcomers. Coach Little has several line prospects who should give the Wildcats a strong foward wall, both offensively and defensively. These prospects include Tim Mc- rae, Roger Higgens, AlonzoCar- ter, Windell Wilson, Charles Norman, Calvin Young, Grady Boyd, and Robert Reed. His back- field prospects include Lloyd De- verett, Johnny Brooks, Gregory Robinson, and Robert Scott. Bell Street has a ten-game schedule that begins August 29 against Gallman High from New berry. Over the past few weeks the team has worked on its weak nesses which were made evident in the meets against Easley and Anderson. The last meet with the Easley team was won by Easley by a small margin. We have now picked up around 12 new mem bers. These new members have given the team more depth in areas which were the weakest. At the present time the number one swimmers in each age di vision are: Anita Undari and Tom Daven port for the eight and under ages; for the nine and 10 year olds, Laura Jacks and Ben Pitts; in the 11-12 age division Peter Undari will swim the no. 1 spot and Susan Grube and Jimmy Au- dia will swim the first position for the 13-14 year olds. In the 15, 16, and 17 age di vision Donna Undari will be the only girl in the events and Dean Harris will carry the larger part of the events with Benny Sprouse and Stanley Rice pushing for a close second. These swimmers have worked very hard this summer so they could represent Clinton with a good team. We have not been at full strength during either meet be cause of vacations and sickness. It looks as if all our groups will be ready for the last swim meet of the summer season. We encourage the Clinton and Joanna community to come out Bowling Assn. Officers Meet L. Ben Howard, area repre sentative of the American Bowling Congress, will meet with the Laurens County Bowling Association, Tuesday, Aug. 26, at 6:30 p.m. at the Palmetto Lanes in Clinton. All officers of the 1968-69 season and all incoming officers for the next year are urged to be present and meet Mr. Howard. The textile league will meet Aug. 26 to organize for the win ter season and will begin bowling Sept. 2. The Thursday Industrial league will meet Thursday, Aug. 28, at 7:30 p.m. to organize and will start bowling Sept. 4. and give these children the sup port they need. They have worked hard and long, so come to the meet Sat urday at the Easley YMCA and show them you are behind them. After a week of putting his squad through physical condition ing drills, Clinton High School Coach Keith Richardson was pleased with the attitude and spirit of the team. He said, “ I think we got a lot accomplished the first week, as far as putting in some new things on offense and defense. Of course, we still don’t know who will hit and who actually will get the job done. “I think the boys reported in pretty good physical condition but we don’t really know for sure because it was so cool during the first week." Last week, the team worked out in light gear. This week they put on pads for two-a-day drills. At the end of the first week, there were 34 candidates for the varsity team. Coach Richardson said, "All of the boys we ex pected to report are here." Clinton opens its season Sept 5, playing host to Georgetown.
