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.
