(Sunphoto) Terriers rally to win over Indians Wofford exploded in a fourth quarter rally to come from behind and beat Newberry’s injury-rid den ball club, 19-7 Saturday night in Snyder Stadium, at Spartan burg. For almost three quarters the Terriers were trailing 7-0. The Wofford Terriers scored first as a result of a controversial punt which appeared to bounce off the Terrier’s deep safety into the hands of a Newberry player. However, the official ruled that the ball bounced naturally and Wofford took over at midfield. A ten yard pass on a detrimental, third down play saved the Ter riers and moments later halfback Billy Ellis slanted off left tackle baffling a Newberry freshman re serve for a 26-yard touchdown. Ellis attempted to run the ex tra point, but the victory minded Newberry defense stiffened and held the opponents, 7-6. In the fourth quarter Ellis found himself covered by at least six Indians, reversed field and gal loped 37 yards to paydirt. An ex tra points pass failed. Two plays later after the kick off. Terrier linebacker Frank Sat terfield intercepted a Benji Kirk land pass at the Newberry 36. Two plays later quarterback War ren Whittaker took to the right side and outran the worn Indian defenders 32 yards for the last score. Kelley booted the bonus point to make the score 19-7 with only minutes remaining in the ga|me. Newberry had an excellent de fensive game during the first hglf holding the Terriers to 16 yards rushing. Middle-guard Ray Sbloman and end Bobby Carlton compiled nearly a third of the total individual tackles. Wofford completed three long passes for 43 yards during the first half. Their receivers dropped several on-the-buttom passes giving the Indians’ pass defense time to become oriented. In the first half the Indians sustained a 78-yard drive for their only score. Kirkland hit on a 13- yard pass to end Bobby Carlton starting Newberry’s offensive rolling. He then popped two quick ones to his other end, Dennis Swygert, f6r 27 yards. A fourth pass of 17 yards to halfback Geo. Taylor put the Indians in excellent scoring position. On third down and three Taylor broke through for the score. Joe Castles kicked the bonus point with eight min utes left in the first half. The Indians played without the services of either of the two cap tains, Pat Merrick and Bill Ham mond, who are both injured. Tackle Steve Robertson, who is leading the team in total tackles, and punter Terry Holder, who doubles equally as well at the full back slot, both missed the second half due to ankle injuries. First unit men Billy Arnold, Mike Hill, tackles, and guard Danah Hardin, were also hampered by injuries.
