KEN PETTUS IS RENEGADE Freshman linebacker Ken Pettus from Greenville has been named Renegade of the week by the Newberry College coach ing staff for his excellent de fensive performance in last Thursday’s Bronze Derby clas sic. Pettus began the season as a back-up for linebackers Billy Koch and Bob Hammersla. Ear ly in the season Hammersla sustained an injury to his knee, giving Pettus a chance to alter nate regularly at the linebacker post. The Greenville native did well enough at the position tc be a frequent performer for the remainder of the season. In fact he did so well that he was named Renegade for his fine defensive play in the Con cord game. With two Renegade honors to his name this season Pettus should prove even more valuable next season for the Indians. In posting his second defen sive title Pettus had eleven in dividual tackles and nine as sists to his credit.
