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

‘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

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

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.

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.

Miss Lester Awarded
Danforth Foundation
Teacher Scholarship
Miss Hattie Belle Lester, Dean
of Women, at Newberry College
attended the University of North
Carolina summer program on Re
ligion and Higher Education, July
16 to August 20th. She was the
recipient of one of the Danforth
*
Foundation Teacher Summer
Scholarships at the University.
The Danforth Foundation award
ed twenty scholarships to uni
versities and colleges in this area.
Miss Lester was awarded the
scholarship offered to a represen
tative of Newberry College.
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.
