The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, January 15,1970—PAGE 5 CHARLES GILROY, Newberry College forward, goes in for another bucket in the Newberry-Guilford match Saturday night, but it wasn’t enough as the Quakers gave the Indians their first conference defeat 85-79 in MacLean Gymnasium. ' “ start losing streak The Newberry Indians fell from the undefeated ranks of college basketball teams last week by dropping games to Er- skine College 69 to 67 and to Guilford College 85-79. The squad now has a 9-3 season record and a 1-1 con ference record. Forward Steve Hollingsworth led the Indians by scoring 17 points against the Flying Fleet Thursday night at Due West fol lowed by Tommy Miller’s 14 points. Although the Indians trailed most of the game, they staged a hot rally late in the game and tied the score three times at 61, 63 and 65 before Erskine’s Mike Jenkins put the home team ahead 67-65 and then Skip Goley was fouled with six se conds remaining and made the two free throws giving Erskine a 69-65 margin. Miller made the final field goal in the game with only two seconds remain ing on the clock, but it wasn’t enough to give the Indians a victory. Erskine won the game on free throws, making 15 out of 18 while Newberry only hit 7 out of 14. Newberry made 30 field goals to Erskine’s 27. Newberry and Guilford,both undefeated in Carolinas Confer ence action, staged a barnburn er in MacLean Gymnasium Sat urday night with the visiting Quakers taking home the laur els. Guilford made the first points and led all of the way to give them a 4-0 conference record. Newberry was down fourteen points early in the 2nd half but staged a comeback and came to within 4 points with 4:04 re maining in the game and again with 1:16 on the clock, but the winners wouldn’t let the Indians get any closer. Newberry’s Buddy Moore was high scorer for both squads with 22 points, Charlie Gilroy paced him with 21 points while Hollings worth hit for 18. PLAN ASSEMBLY IN GREENVILLE An estimated 23 members of the Newberry congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses will join more than 1,000 fellow witness es January 16 through 18 at a three-day assembly in Green- ville. Greenville Memorial Auditor ium Exhibition Hall will be con verted into a place of worship and Christian training for the occasion. Robert Jackson, the presiding minister of the local congrega tion, said that the gathering, which is sponsored by the Watch tower Bible and Tract Society, will include witnesses from 16 congregations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Sessions will be conducted morn ing, afternoon and evening with a baptism of newly dedicated ministers Saturday afternoon. The theme of the three-day program will be “Right Kind of Ministers”. (Matt. 7:29) Said Jackson, “The program will en able Jehovah’s Witnesses to ad vance to greater Christian mat urity and improve their knowl edge and ability to teach. With so much unrest among peoples, racial riots, war threats and increase in crime, we feel the need as Jehovah’s Witnesses to spread a message of peace and unity which this assembly will better equip us to do as a ser vice to this community and the world.” C. G. Thompson, nine-state district supervisor of the Watch- tower Society and nationally known Bible lecturer, will be the principal speaker.
