Simpson Takes Main Event
For Second Straight Week
By MARION WIGGINS
Banks Simpson of Concord, N.
C., drove his No. 78 across the
finish line first last Saturday
night to make it two straight
wins in a row at the Newberry
Fairgrounds Speedway. Billy
Franklin in car No. 19, was driv
ing hard and fast in second place
but in the eighth lap ran into the
rail on the lower turn and was un
able to finish the race. Following
Simpson was car No. 33, owned
by Claude Partain and driven by
Wily Widenhouse of Columbia,
and “Possum” Jones, Nero Stepto,
Jimmy Roland, Ozark Ike Wil
liams and Leroy Turner. This
was one of the most interesting
and exciting races yet staged at
the Newberry speedway, with the
lead changing several times.
The winning car in the first
heat race was No: 7, a '34 Ford
driven by Ernie Tippett. He was
followed by Nero Stepto in car
No. 15, Jimmy Roland in No. 1-A,
and “Ozark Ike” Williams.
The second heat was a close one
between Billy Franklin in car No.
19 and Roscoe Turner in No. 21.
Franklin took the lead in the third
lap with Turner riding his bump
er all the way. On the last lap,
Turner overtook Franklin to win
the race by a car length.
The consolation event is some
thing new in Newberry this sea
son. It is a 25-lap race which is
run just before the main attrac
tion. Winning this was car No.
78 driven by Banks Simpson, with
2nd and 3rd places being taken by
Weldon Adams and Ozark Ike
Williams.
Promoters F. J. Bland, Jr. and
Buddy Davenport promise another
thriller this Saturday night at the
local track. Fans are reminded
that race time has oeen changed
from 8:15 p.m. to 8:00 for this
Saturday’s race.

To back up his statement, Mr.
Arnold points out that of the 35
members of the band who will ap

High School April 14, only eight

Most of the band members play
ed with their respective high
school bands and now give the
most of their extra-curricular time
to the Furman band, Mr. Arnold
reports.
“They play because they like
to, and this makes for better
music,” he concludes.
Their program here will open
with two Bach chorales, “For Your
Ascension, I Herewith” and “Lprd
and Master,” and will include in
the first group Schubert’s “March
Mllitaire No. 1,” Guentzel’s “Royal
Festival,” “Emmett’s Lullaby” by
Holmes, and the Overture from
Wagner’s opera “Rienzi.”
The second group of composi
