THE NEWBERRY SUN
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1955
To the dyed-inthe-wool coonhoimd man who loves night
hunting and gets his biggest thrill from baying of running
hounds, coondog trials are travesties on the old and hon
ored sport of raccoon hunting. But to a fast-growing seg
ment of our sporting population these affairs provide fas
cinating canine competition in a highly informal manner.
In recent years these events have been sweeping the
country like a flood, the crest of which is reached on Labor
Day week end when four nationally known coondog field
trials are held in Ohio. Approximately 2000 dogs compete
for some ten thousand dollars in final prize money and
something like twenty thousand dollars in cash for the
dinners of individual heats or races. It is conservatively
estimated that more than 20,000 spectators watched these
.^our events in 1954.
In all American outdoor sports there is nothing like a
coondog trial. The procedure is simple. Dogs are run in
groups of 10, following a track laid by a coon-scent stick
through typical hunting country, to a tree. The course is
a mile and an eighth. Some 50 to 100 yards out from the
tree, depending upon the terrain, is a line. Judges stand
at either end to check the first and second dogs to cross it,
and which dog barks first at the tree. Spectators are not al
lowed up close; strict silence is maintained as the dogs ap
proach the line and tree. No urging or coaxing is permitted.
To the coonhound fancier the jarring note in the whole
affair is that few of the competing dogs are full-blooded
Aounds. The stirringmusic of the chase is lacking because
many of these crossbreeds run silent. Speed is the import
ant factor, although all owners seek to train their dogs to
bark at the tree.
Practically all the competing dogs show some signs of
trailing-hound blood, but many of them are three-quarters
or even more greyhound. Many show definite traces of
shepherd blood and many have much longer coats than pure
bred hounds. Others are rather nondescript in appearance
^with an ancestry that is anybody’s guess. All of them, how
ever, have a highly developed competitive spirit, and enough
“nose” to run the track at good speed. Most of them are
splendidly conditioned.
Coondogs are quite efficient at paying for their keep
through their field-trial wins. Discussing those dogs in an
article in Sports Afield magazine, Henry P. Davis remarks
that he heard of one offer of $3500 refused for a well known
mixed-breed dog. And coon dog field-trial winners fre-
quently bring upwards of $1000.

Racers
Darlington. Joe Eubanks, of
Spartanburg last week set the sec
ond fastest lap speed in the hist
ory of the Darlington International
Raceway' when he shot his 1955
Oldsmobile over the mile and
three-eights coursjB at 107.843
miles per hour! Eubanks, one .off
several drivers practicing for thp
Labor Day Southern 500 mile
stock car race, declared he would
be able to increase this speed at
least three miles per hour. That
would put the Oldsmobile well
over Buck Baker’s track record of
108.26 miles per hour set last
year.
One other mark was also set.
Cotton Owens, also from Spartan
burg, (driving 100 miles non-stop
in tire tests, averaged 103.J25
miles per hour. This indicates the
racing field expects the 1965
Southern 500 to be run at the
fastest rate in history. Owens was
driving a 1955 Chevrolet..
Ten more drivers signed up for
the $35,000 event during the week
bringing the field to 53 cars. Three
makes, Ford, Plymouth and
were added to the field making
eleven makes of automobiles now
entered. Drivers already entered
come from 13 different staiee with
several more expected before the
first qualifying day, August 31.
