Hatton Agency Host Wade Hampton Tonight Juniors Clinch Tie For League Title Mouth of the South ACC Suggestion Now that the last respects have been paid to Jim Weaver, as fine a gentleman and as astute a sports executive as ever came down the road, the Atlantic Coast Conference faces a serious responsibility in choosing his successor. Already the league is showing some strain at the seams, and a dum-dum in the com missioner’s office might be the straw that snaps the vertebrae of the behumped mammal of the desert Thus, without meaning any disrespect for others who may be considered for the post, it seems to me that there is one man available whose appointment ought to be a matter of five-minutes consideration and the sending of a telegram. The guy is a smiling personification of diplomacy and ability, the present athletic director of Washington and Lee University, Gene Corrigan. Gene is old enough to know all the ramifications of college athletics, and young enough to communicate in the modern ver nacular which is understood by present day athletes and coaches. Of course, people close to the conference will recall that Gene served as an assistant to Jim Weaver until a couple of years ago when he went to W 4 L. If memory serves me correctly, Gene has nine young ’uns, and the promise of an education for all of them figured prominently in his decision to go to Lexington, Virginia and his present job. But even so, he could and should be lured back to the ACC. Ultimate In Personality The guy has the ultimate in personality. If he were to elect to go into sales he might easily make a million. And it is pre cisely for this reason, among many others, that he is needed right now in the Greensboro office of the ACC. He graduated from Duke, not a mean accomplishment in the days before curriculums were often prostituted to make the way to the com mencement stage easier for some not overly endowed with brains. He coached at Virginia, and was later the publicity man there. So astute is Gene that he was able, even with all the in- iwrent disadvantages, to make the Cavalier athletic program successful in the print and broadcast media during his time in Charlottesville. Everyone who can sniff a lick can detect the odor of decay in mlny of the inter-school relationships in the conference. South Carolina is threatening to pull out over the totally unrealistic academic requirements for athletic grant-in-aid. There are bit ter animosities among many of the officials at one school and another. It will require a man with Soloman-like wisdom to pre side over this disintegrating organization and to pull it back to gether into a cohesive and workable unit. Perhaps I am more selfish than many people, but I make no booes about it And the fact of the matter is that if Gene Cor rigan were the new Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner, my work, and the work of all that slavering herd of near illite- raites who write and broadcast the ACC events, would be much easier. Gene makes things happen. He is not movable when it comes to a matter of principle, nor will he compromise when he knows he’s right But he can say “No* in the kindest, most acceptable way I every heard. That’s pretty unique recommendation. If the ACC misses this boat, start writing the obituary. It’s the best and perhaps only chance for the conference to survive. BY ERNE SEGARS Clinton gained at least a tie for the championship in District Nine in American Legion play on Tuesday night with a 5-4 vic tory over second place Greer. Clinton has two games re maining. With a two game lead, they need to win against Wade Hampton Thursday night or Greenville Friday night to win the League title. Both games will be played in Clinton. Tommy Motes, ace lefthander for Coach Sam Owens’team, won his sixth game against no losses. Motes gave up only five hits while striking out 10 Tues day night. Clinton scored two runs in the bottom of the first when Stan Elrod led off with an in field hit. Tommy Shields walk ed, putting men on first and second. Billy McNinch was safe on a fielder’s choice, loading the bases. Clean-up hitter Mat thew King then brought in two runs with a single to right field. Clinton scored again in the bottom of the third when Mc Ninch doubled to right After King struck out, Mike Bridges bounced a single off the left field fence to drive in Mc Ninch, giving Clinton a 3-0 lead. Greer scored their first run in the sixth on an unusual play. After a double put a man in scoring position, Motes got the next man on an infield out. The next hitter chased McNinch to the fence in deep left center, and, after the catch, the runner on second tagged up and went to third. Motes then threw the ball to second, apparently to double the runner up because he had left the base too early. However, the ball got past se- sond baseman Matt King, and the runner scored on the play. Motes seemed to be getting stronger as he carried a 3-1 lead into the ninth inning. He struck out the side in the sev enth and eighth innings. In the ninth, however, Greer scored three runs on a walk, a triple by left fielder Johnny Kay, a hit batsman and an error. Trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, Clinton stayed alive when lefthander John Chaplin hit a wrong-field double to left. Motes then beat out an infield hit for this third hit of the game. Elrod was safe on a fielder’s choice and Chaplin scored on the play, tying the game. Tommy Shields beat out a bunt and loaded the bases. Billy McNinch worked the count to 3-2 and took ball four to force in the winning run. The game had several out standing defensive plays in cluding two by centerflelder McNinch. In the fourth inning, he saved a run when he climb ed the enbankment in deep left- center to take away an extra base hit. OTHER GAMES In other action this week.
