(By BUZZIE HENTZ) The Newberry College basket ball quintet will open its after Christmas campaign at home this night when they meet the cocks of the University of Carolina. The Indians, al- h having been beaten deci sively in thfhe previous /outings this season^ have shown steady improvement and are working hard to get off to a new start in 1955. The Indians have been at full strength only once during this cage season due to conflicts with thet football team and illnesses, but should be at their peak for the Carolina game. Star Center Ed Blanko, also a footballer, has had little chance to round into basket ball shape this year, but showed USC and a home-town boy, has a variety of shots and will * help out in ihe Newberry scoring, taking some of the load from Blanko’s sholders. The other three men in double figures are Blanko, with a 12 point av«NU$», forward Paul Ckme, with 31 juditts in games, and guard Bob Roth, with a 12.3 average. The play of the diminutive Roth has been very encouraging to date. Always a good floor man, Roth’s shooting has come around so that now r the 5’7” guard is a definite scoring threat. He will team with freshman Terry Dukes to form the Tribe’s starting guard duo. Spotts and Cone will probably pair at forward, with Blanko at the pivot. A fine basketball show is on plenty of accuracy nevertheless in i han(| Priday as the ..pightlng tallying 21 points against Lenoir- Redsklns - make a determined bid after an illness, of a year.
