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.
Mrs. Arthur was born and rear
ed in Aiken County, a daughter of
the late Wilson and Eugenia
Baughman Ready. She had made
her home in Newberry for the
past twpnty years where she was
an active member of the Glenn
Street Baptist Church as long as
her health permitted. She was al
so a member of the Women’s Mis
sionary Society. Hei* husband Ste ?
ven J. Arthur died in 1952.
She is survived by four sons:
Clyde Arthur of Newberry, Earl
Arthur, Joanna, ^ Ernest Arthur,
Jacksonville, Fla., and Dewey Ar
thur, Portland, Ore.; one daugh
ter, Mrs. Mattie Kirby, Laurens;
19 grandchildren, 22 great-grand
