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

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.
