of the air which I didn’t believe
anyone would be able to get—and
he was completely surrounded by
three or four Citadel Bulldogs. So
that is encouraging.
The game was a good one, even
though the Indians lost it. I see
the Indians’ sports writer Bobbie
Baker blames the loss on the de
fense, but I don't agree with him.
It’s true the Citadel man broke
through the line and made a
touchdown which won the game
for the Citadel, but on the other
hand, Newberry was in a scoring
position any number of times and
the offense never could make It
over, primarily because of fum
bles. It was just an off-day, that’s
alL Coach Kirkland said The Cita
del deserved to win, and I agree
with that, but I won’t agree that
Citadel has the better team. Had
the Indians played the ball they
played against Guilford, Elon and
other teams, they would have
won the game. If any defense was
responsible, it was the hard hit
ting defense of the Citadel caus
ing Quarterback Brabham to
fumble so much. I still think it
was just an off day.
I didn’t start this item out to
be a sports writer. I Seem to have
gotten off the track. What I start
ed out to say was that 1 yelled to
my heart’s content down there
and no one looked at me as though
I were a little off. Last game I
went to at Newberry, when. I yell
ed a couple of times, people turned
and looked at me as if to ask
“what’s the matter with you?” 1
tried to restrain myself a little af
ter that, but after all, if I can’t
get excited at a football game, es
pecially when those Indians are
out there playing an outstanding
game, why go to the game at all?
Well, when Turkey and P. C. day
roll around, I’m going to yell, no
matter what the other spectators
think. Guess I’ll just have to get
in the college cheering section,
although I don’t think they did
much at the last game here eith
er. They, too, made more noise
at the Citadel game than they did
on their own home grounds. Guess
the noise of the Citadel band from
the other side pepped them up a
little. I'll be glad when Newberry
college has its marching band ajl
organized and ready to add a little
pep to the football games.

John F. Clarkson, Pres. J. K. Willingham, Sec.-Treas.
NEWBERRY, S. C.
As boys, we like to throw things.
And we did it in varied ways.
When we got our first crosscut
saw, it gave us some smoothe
stumps to work from. A jagged,
slanting stump, like an axe makes,
wouldn’t work for this.
We’d get a piece of one by three
inch board about three feet long.
Place it on a stump, letting at
least half of it hang over the edge.
We’d weight the stump end down
with a rock about the size of a
goose egg. Then we’d hit the ex
tended end hard with a heavy
green stick about the size of a
baseball bat. That would send the
rock far aloft in a great arc. The
harder you’d hit, the higher and
further the rock would go.
We had regular contests with
this, marking where each fellow’s
rock hit ground.
That was rather dangerous, with
kkids standing all around. There
was one safe spot, however, and
we soon learned that. It was to
the back of the stump from the
protruding end of the board. And
the waiting contestants stayed
there, each with his choice rock
in hand. And the rocks had to all
be of about the same size, or the
boy couldn’t compete.
We’d lam bast those rocks for
hours on end. Country kids in our
time could make their fun as they
went along. I guess they still can.
For boys are just that way, yon
know.
