ma, 'W : FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1952 THE NEWBERRY SUN New Coach And Adoption Of Split-T System Expected To Revive Indians A new coach and a new foot- ball system may spur a small Newberry College squad into a better season than it had last year when it won none, tied one Harvey Kirkland, former prep and high school mentor, takes over as athletic director and head coach. A 1937 Newberry graduate, he will be assisted by E. W. Burnette, a 1940 graduate and prep coach. The system is the Split T, used here for the first time last year to give the Intricate forma tion a real chance, but that one year of experience and this year's stronger squad may make the Split T move. Backbone of the team will be 19 returning lettermen plus some fine freshmen prospects. If the frosh, who are expected to enroll, actually turn up at enrollment time. End Murray Davis, a big, rug ged boy who is both a fine pass receiver and a fast-moving tack ier, will kingpin the line. Quarterback Charlie Berry and halfback Don Maxwell will be the mainstays in the backfield. Among other returning letter- men and outstanding prospects are end Hubert Morris, tackles Ed Ul rich and Grover Davis, guards Quay Farr and Bill Thompson, centers Bill Brissie and Bill Sum mer, backs Grene Kinard, Dick Freselone, Bob Roth, Stan Bessin- ger and John Kiklighter. There won’t be any two pla toon system—the squad has only 25 upperclassmen on hand, and there hardly will be enough ex perienced and qualified fresh men to run out two complete teams. There probably will be some switching, offense to de fense, in the backfield and at the center. This is the schedule: Sept 13 Shaw Field (N), 19 at Furman (N), 27 at Catawba CN), Oct. 4 at Guilford (N), 11 at The Citadel (N), 18 Wofford (N), Nov. 1 Lenoir-Rhyne (N), 8 Elon at Clover (N), and 22 at Presbyter ian.

On January 1st 1953 South Carolina’s New Automobile Safety Responsibility Law Becomes Effective The law provides that any person involved in an auto acci dent resulting in personal injury or damage of more than $25 must report the accident, and (1) Show to the satisfaction of the Highway Department that he was not liable, or (2) Produce a Certificate or policy of Insurance issued be fore the accident showing at least $5,000/$10,000 coverage for bodily injury and $1,000 for property damage to others, or (3) Deposit with the Highway department $11,000 in cash or the equivalent. Should the driver fail to comply with these requirements, his driver’s license and Auto Registration Card will be suspended. This law was not sponsored by the Insurance companies and Insurance is not compulsory. However, an Insurance Policy will, for many, be the most convenient method of complying with the law. ' v REAL ESTATE - INSURANCE NEWBERRY, S. C. mM ‘Blanket Of Green’ Dotting Landscape Of S. C. In Winter CLEMSON, Sept. 1.—It’s foot ball time again, children are go ing back to school, crops are be ing harvested, that frosty tang is in the early morning air—winter is coming. Warm clothes and coats are coming out of trunks and closets. Hugh A. Woodle, leader, Clemson Agronomy Work, cautions South Carolina farmers, “Your land needs cover too.” “Let’s cover all of our fields with a ‘Blanket of Green’ this winter,” he suggests. “Let’s save our soils from winter leaching and erosion, increase their pro ductive capacity, save on next year’s fertilizer bill, produce more milk and beef, beautify our countryside—in short, let’s roll out the green blanket of close - growing crops to keep South Carolina green this win ter,” he adds. Mr. Woodle points out. that South Carolina is being widely recognized as the “Blanket of Green” state. Every year more and more green fields are dotting the landscape at Christmas time. “I always did like a ‘Green Christmas’ better than a ‘White Christmas’,” he contihues. “If I were a poet or song writer, I would like to write about the green fields of grasses and clovers and small grains which enhance the wintertime beauty of our state. I can’t say it in poetic fash ion, but it really does my. heart good to see that our farmers are rapidly changing to a more profit able, a more efficient, and, shall we say, to a more ‘beautiful’ method of farming,” he concludes. 51st Division Issues Call For 3,000 Enlistments By Summer ’53 YOU CAN HUNT RABBITS BUT KEEP YOUR GUNS AT HOME The annual rabbit hunting sea son opened in Newberry County Monday but all hunting will have to be done without dogs or guns. This limits the hunter to such ammunition as sticks and rocks. The dove season opens Septem ber 15 at high noon. It closes September 29; re-opens December 22 and closes January 5. Hunting of most game with dogs and guns begins Thanks giving Day. The federal government estab lishes the limits for dove and other migratory birds, while the state government controls the sea son for game and other birds. Season limits set by the fed eral government for other migra tory birds are listed below: Ducks, November 22 to Janu ary 5. Rails and Gallimules, September 1 to October 30. Doves September 15 to Septem ber 29 and December 22 to Jan uary 5. All these dates are inclusive and are from 12 noon until sunset only. Under state regulations, Ander son, Laurens, Abbeville, McCor mick, Greenwood and Newberry Counties are grouped in Zone Two for hunting season purposes. Limits for the Zone are as fol lows: Raccoons and squirrels, October 1 to February 15. Opossums, September 1 to Feb ruary 5. Rabbit and Quail, Thanksgiving Doy to February 15- Foxes, September 1 to March 1, open season, then only with dogs. Rabbits, September 1 to Thanks giving Day v/ithout guns. The bag limit is 10 quail a day and 10 squirrel a day. Non-resident hunting licenses cost $15.25. State licenses are $3.10. County licenses are $1.10. Major General John C. Hena- gan of Dillon, Commander of the 51st National Guard Division, is sued a call today for three thou sand more enlistments prior to next summer’s encampment. The big South Carolina-Florida Guard Division has an authorized strength of more than 14,700 of ficers and men. Of this number 11,200 vacancies belong to the Pal metto State. At present the “Ready to Strike” Post War or-' ganization has slightly more than 7100 officers and men in the South Carolina Part. Some 300 recruits have been added since January 1st. Men are needed to fill vacancies throughout the state. Opportuni ties exist in Infantry, Artillery, Armor, Medical, Engineer, Ord nance, Quartermaster, Military Police, Signal, and Anti-aircraft units. Those who enlist prior to next year’s encampment will be given special training in basic military subjects during the Field Training period. Many high-ranking non-commis sioned officers are needed, some in almost every unit of Company size- In addition to enlisted rat ings, Guardsmen may qualify for officer appointment by attending the Palmetto Military Academy one week-end per month for 12 months. This Officers Candidate School is one of four accredited National Guard training centers of its kind in the United States and is located at the Olympia Public Schools in Columbia. A decided advantage is afforded young men 17 to 18% years of age, who may complete their ba sic training and learn a military specialty while living at home and continuing their schooling. Under the present legislation, a young man who enlists in the Na tional Guard before 18% years of age will not be inducted so long as he fills these three require ments: (1) he must remain in the Guard; (2) he must attend drills regularly; and (3) he must main tain a satisfactory training pro ficiency. He will be called to ac tive duty, however, if and when his Guard unit is mobilized. Veterans will likewise find a welcome awaiting in the Guard. Those experienced soldiers can of fer valuable knowledge and train ing experience to the citizen sol diers and in turn will benefit' themselves by taking advantage of the extra income and retire ment program. GIs MAY TRAIN AT S- C. OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE West Columbia.—Men and wo men who have served in the arm ed forces since June 27, 1950 are eligible for educational training at the Opportunity school under the latest addition to the GI Bill Ex-service people are eligible for one and a half day’s educa tion or training for each day of service on or after June 27, 1950, regardless of where served. The maximum training permitted is 36 months, which is four school years. At the Opportunity school, a veteran who has not completed his grammar or high school edu cation can do so, progressing just as fast as he is able. He can earn a high school certificate through standardized tests given by the State department of education. The government will pay $110 monthly if single; $135 monthly with one dependent and $160 per month where there are more than one dependent, Out of that al lowance the veteran must pay for his books and supplies and must provide his own subsistence. Veterans who served in both World War II and since June 27, 1950 are eligible for further edu cation and training benefits under the new law providing the total period does not exceed 48 months. Thus a World War II veteran who received 36 months training under the original bill is limited to a maximum of 12 months additional training under the new law. If he received the full 48 months training under the World War II law, he cannot receive any addi tional education or training bene fits even if his later service would ordinarily have entitled him to 36 months. Veterans must begin training by August 20, 1954, or within two years after the discharge, which ever is later. If a veteran attends school on less than a full time bases, the monthly training al lowance is pared accordingly.

In another of his “learning from nature” series Dr. William J. Long writes that in days gone by fox hunting was the prime winter sport and there were enough foxes and a plentiful supply of small game. Now in the New England community where he lives game birds are pitifully scarce “because fox hunters are too few and foxes too many ” Here you may object that labo ratory tests (examinations of stomach contents and droppings seem to prove that game birds form a small percentage of fox food. That is undoubtedly true in some localities. The question is, would the percentage be larger if the fox could find more game? Based on his own examination of stomach contents in the northern wilderness, Long thinks the ans wer is definitely “yes.” One fact which will never come to light in a laboratory is that a fox will naturally haunt a place where small game of any kind is plentiful. When he finds a covey , of quail or grouse, he will kill as many as he can, and bury those he cannot eat. There are many records of fox destructiveness, and in this respect the gray fox is even worse than the red. Another fact beyond range of laboratory tests is that a certain number of foxes may be fairly safe at one season but dangerous at another. For example, say three foxes loose during a ruffed grouse peak cycle might not much in fluence the natural grouse in crease. Turn them loose at a time of low cycle, and you endanger not only the increase but the survival of the bird. A fox knows no game law; he hunts practically every night of the year. As for those who hopefully ar gue that predators improve the race of game birds by killing the weak or sickly or witless, Long politely suggests that they are talking thru their hats. A fox that finds a quail or grouse nest does not pick out the addled eggs; heats the whole clutch. If he runs into a brood of young grouse, he does not select the weakling; he is much more likely to kill the mother bird as she tries to protect her family, leaving the whole brood to die of starvation or be caught by other predators.
