to gridiron

began football practice Tues
day with a session of picture
taking on Setzler Field. Actual
practice began Wednesday at 8
a. m. with two a day sessions
continuing through Saturday, ac
cording to Coach Fred Herren.
This year’s Indians should
show a general improvement
over last year’s team on the
basis of more experience and
enthusiasm. In direct contrast
to last year there are two ex
perienced competitors for the
quarterback position, Gary Wel-
chel, a junior from Sumter, and
Johnny Harbin, a sophomore of
Greenville, both of whom saw
action last season.
In the fullback position soph
omore Jim Fulton of Blacks
burg is expected to share the
running load with another soph
omore, Jolly Hallman of Belve
dere, who will be supported by
sophomores Don Garrick, Oran
geburg and Robert Schmidt, of
Barnwell. Steve Williams, a
freshman from Plant City, Fla.
is also expected to offer some
competition for the tailback pos
ition.
Returning from a summer of
world travel with the Venture
for Victory baseball team is co
captain Roger Hazel, a senior
from Saluda, who is one of the
top three punters in the nation
and a good pass receiver. To
back up Hazel at the end posi
tion will be sophomores Howdy
Hayes of Atlanta, Ga., Marty
Pearson of Marietta. Ga., and
Johnny Dawkins of Florence, if
recovered from a leg injury.
Rounding out the offensive at
tack is junior Larry Howe, a
six foot, 210 pound tackle from
Charlotte, N. C., who will be
the mainstay of the offensive
line. Other offensive linemen in
clude Carol Martin, a junior, of
North, Joby Castles, a senior
from Columbia. A1 Granzow of
Florence, a senior, and Greg
Smith, a junior from Summer
ville.
For the Indians defensive line
Bob Hammersla from Jackson
ville, Fla., a senior and co
captain, should provide good
leadership as linebacker with
assistance from Billy Koch, a
junior from Newberry.
At the defensive end position
w'ill be senior Dennis Swygert
of Greenville. Tenn a former
Newberry College football play
er, who has returned from mili
tary service to complete his ed
ucation Newberry High ’ s
Wade Nichols, a sophomore, is
to provide additional coverage
at the other end of the line.
Two sophomores, Saylor Fox
from Buena Vista, Va., and
Tommy Watson from Columbus,
Ga., are expected to uphold the
defensive secondary with added
depth coming from freshmen
team members. A good fresh
man prospect for the secondary
is Jerry Long, a Newberry high
school graduate.
Newberry’s interior defensive
line positions are undetermined
at the present time.
The Indians will play their
first game away with Gardner
Webb, Boiling Springs, N. C. at
7:80 p.m. September 20. Their

JAYCEE-ETTES
HAVE MEETING
The Newberry Jaycee-ettes
held their August 11 meeting
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Denny Sanderson. Several civ
ic projects and ways and means
projects were discussed and vot
ed on. Several members stat
ed that they would attend the
annual Jaycee-Jaycee-ette sum
mer board in Florence August
15-17.
Mrs. Barbara Livingston was
welcomed as a new member
to the club. The Jaycee-ettes
helped the Jaycees with a bar-
b-que chicken and hash sale.
The proceeds will go to fur
ther civic and charitable Jay-
cee projects.
Urges shots for
first graders
“State law requires that
every incoming first grader be
vaccinated for smallpox,” said
Ralph E. Watkins, Jr., Director
of county schools, yesterday.
“However, we want all first
graders this year to be im
munized also against diphth
eria, tetanus, polio and meas
les.”
He added that the first grade
is the primary exposure area
for many youngsters since
many parents have failed to
get shots for their children.
Commenting that the school
setting is ideal for epidemics,
Mr. Watkins said, “We are no
longer worried about epidem
ics, but we are concerned about
preventing all cases of child
hood diseases in school. This is
true because a one or two
week absence from school does
slow down a first grader’s
learning process considerably,
and can be simply avoided by
obtaining the shots.”
Significant is the fact that
shots also offer protection to
parents since many parents con
tract the childhood diseases
from the youngsters who have
entered school.
College has
summer finals
Summer graduates at New
berry College were told Friday
that there are intimate personal
truths that must touch the lives
of men and women if they are
to live rich lives.
The charge to the 25 seniors
was given by the Rev. Mr. Garth
Lee Hill, secretary of the New
berry College Board of Trustees
and pastor of the Zion Lutheran
Church in Lexington. Dean Con
rad Park presided over the
ceremonies signalling the end of
the summer session and the
1969-70 School year.
Mr. Hill summarized by tell
ing the graduates to live a rich
life rather than to die a rich
man, to fall in love with some
great truth and to perform not
just the duties of life, but to
enjoy the beauties of life as
well.
