Newberry Garden Clubs To
Have Exhibits At The Fair
Indians Defeat Favored
Wofford Team 7 To 6
By MRS. A. H. COUNTS
Halloween will be the theme
of the fall flower show to be pre
sented by the Newberry Garden
Club Council at the Newberry
County Fair Oct. 29-31.
Plans indicate that it will be
one of the best shows ever staged
by the council which is composed
of the eight garden clubs and head
ed by Mrs. T. P. Crooks as coun
cil president.
A visitors class has been ar
ranged and it is expected that a
number of entries will be entered
from throughout the state.
The inside of the building where
the flowers will be shown has
been completely renovated and
rearranged. A Hammond organ
has been secured and music will
be played during the three-day
show as an added attraction. The
organist will be from New York.
The show committee, with Mrs.
H. Tom Long as chairman, has
made a detail study of the origin
and meaning of Halloween and
have planned four classes as fol
lows: Class one, in honor of Po-
mana, Goddess of Fruit, in which
the arrangements may be fruit
and foliage; class two, Druid Cele
brating the Feast of Sun God in
which the colors are white, gold,
yellow and bronze to feature mari
golds or chrysanthemums; class
three. The Early Christian Church
(Harvest). The arrangements for
this will be dried or fresh flowers,
fresh or dried fruits or vegetables.
Class four will be The Feast of All
Saints. For this • class any color
may be used and any kind of flow
ers.
In the horticultural division the
regulations specify that each club
will be alloted one space and can
decide on its own project, such as
a miniature outdoor living room,
a vegetable garden, conservation,
bird life or whatever subject they
are interested in.
There will be two classes of
specimens—cut flowers consisting
of only one bloom and speciments
of schubs.
Exhibits must be entered be
tween 8:30 and 11:30 a.m. Thurs
day, Oct. 29.
Arrangements have been made
for various club members to be
on hand throughout the show to
assist in entertaining.

1418 Main SL Newberry
Coach Harvey Kirkland and his
Newberry Indians arrived at their
destination—Road Back—in the
state football scene when they
took home a 7-6 victory on Wof
ford’s home-coming last Saturday
afternoon.
Some 6,000 saw Newberry de
feat Wofford for the first time
since 1947. And the Indian win
means the Little Three champion
ship will be decided Thanksgiving
Day when the Presbyterian Blue
Hose visit in Newberry.
For Wofford it was a disappoint
ing loss—the second straight by a
7-6 score. P. C.’s extra point beat
the Terriers the week before.
Mike Maksim, the Pennsylvania
pass-snather, took a touchdown
toss from Danny Brabham for the
Indians tomahawker in the final
period.
Then it was up to Grover Davis,
the man-mountain from McCor
mick. The 270-pound tackle booted
a place-kick squarely between the
uprights for the point after—and
the ball game.
Trailing 7-0, the Terriers came
snapping back. Jimmy Brock took
the kickoff back 22 yards from his
15, and quarterback Sherry Awtrey
began directing a downfield drive.
Joe Hazle and Awtrey hammered
out four straight first downs be
fore Awtrey sneaked over from
the Newberry four.
While 6,000 people held their
breath, Charlie Bryant was sent
in to try the extra point. The snap
was true, but the Newberry line
was leaking through. Bryant had
to hurry the kick. It was high, but
off to the left.
The groan from the Wofford
stands was from agony ip defeat.
The one-point difference gave the
Indians an inspired victory.
Big Ed Blanko, a cunning Con
necticut ^nd, must share the credit
with the Newberry point-makers
for the Indian score. For it was
he who set it up.
Wofford had the ball on their
22 in that fourth period. Both
highly-conditioned squads had
been blazing away under the blaz
ing sun for 49 minutes. Then
lightning struck out of the cloud
less sky.
A pitch-out for Eddie Reed was
spoiled by Blanko, who caused the
Terrier back to fumble. And fast
er than you could say “Bingo” big
Blanko was atop the ball—on the
Wofford 15.
For three plays it appeared
Wofford would hold. FYeshman
George Hurst, a hurry-up back
from Columbus, Ga., tried twice.
End Phil Gibson stopped him once,
and the Terrier line rose up the
second time. It was third and
seven.
Stan Bessinger, pumping his
legs for all he was worth all after
noon, drove for four more before
meeting the horde. Fourth down,
three to go on the Wofford eight.
Brabham looked towards Coach
Kirkland. Guard Jim Ditty was
substituted by Coach Snidow for
Back Dale Carnes. What would
the play be?
Brabham might as well have
been Houdini. He fooled Wofford
completely. Danny faked a hand-
off, stepped back and flipped a
perfect pass to Maksim, who was
behind the Terrier secondary in
the end zone.
The two evenly-matched teams
had been even-stephen in the
scoreless first half. Wofford had
a chance in the second period.
Penalties may have ruined it for
them and cost a victory.
Billy Pope, who played a fine
game for Wofford at end, and
guard Jeter Hammond went crash
ing through to partially block J.
Haselden’s punt at the Newberry
40. Wofford took over at their 47.
Brock, the Spartanburg senior,
took a pitch-out going to his right,
Ronnie Welch missed a tackle and
Brock picked up blockers in cut-
ing back to the left. He was
homeward bound on this Home
coming Day until Indian Hubert
Morris dragged him down on the
Newberry 15.
Wofford floundered three. Mak
sim made a shoe-string stop on
third down to throw Brock for a
loss, and tackle Carl Rogers came
driving in to up-end Awtrey wh6n
the quarterback was back to pass
on fourth down. Newberry had
thrown the Terriers back 14 yards
to their 29, where the Indians took
over.
Three plays later Haselden was
fumbling on his 35. Pope pounced
on the pigskin. Again the Terriers
had an opportunity as bright as
the sun.
Brick and Awtrey made two
fine runs. Each time a 15-yard
penalty nullified the gains. First
time was for clipping; the next for
unsportsmanlike conduct. This in
fraction of rules stopped the sec
ond quarter drive.
Wofford took the kickoff to open
the second half and started down
field like they meant to go all the
way. Reed sprinted the kickoff
from hjs 14 to the 46, but illegal
use of nands put it back on the
Wofford 21.
Eddie took a pitch-out and rush
ed to a first down at his 33. Pope
took a jump-pass from Awtrey to
the Newberry 37. Awtrey ran three
times for the third straight first
down and the Terriers were threat
ening on the Indian 23-yard-line.
Here a guard named Johnny Lee
rose up for all to see and practi
cally stopped the Terriers single-
handed. Bessinger and Morris
threw Reed for a seven-yard loss
on the first down. Then Johnny
Lee got in the act'. He upset Hazle
for no gain. Awtrey’s pass in
tended for Nanney went incom
plete, and on fourth down Awtrey
faded to pass. Johnny got to
Awtrey at the Newberry 39 to
smear him before he could un
loose the ball. In four plays Wof
ford had lost 16 yards. Again New
berry had hurled back a threat.
Wofford held the lead in about
everything but score. They made
12 first downs (eight in the second
half) to Newberry’s 8 (five in the
first half). The Terriers gained
161 yards by rushing to the
Indians’ 152, and out-passed New
berry 58 to 15 yards. But eight
yards of those 15 by passing was
all Newberry needed to score.
