Ga. All Stater
signed by Tribe
An All-State Back from Thom
son, Georgia, 5-11 Tommy Will
iamson has signed a Newberry
College football grant for the
1970-71 school year.
Young Williamson, who was
captain of his team, was chosen
for the All-State honor in 1968
and 1969 by the Atlanta Jour
nal Constitution. The Atlanta
newspaper said when naming
the 165 lb. senior to the 1969
All-Star team, “If anyone else
deserved Back-of-the-Year, he
must not play high school foot
ball in Georgia.”
The statistics Williamson piled
up during the 1969 season are
impressive, if not breathtaking:
Williamson ran for 13 touch
downs, passed for 1,112 yards
and 14 touchdowns on 48 of 77
passes, ran for 717 yeards and
a 6.5 average, caught six passes
for three touchdowns, scored 132
points, kicked 34 extra points,
passed for three and ran for
one, intercepted 16 passes on
defense, punted 21 times for a
38.3 average and kicked for a
55 yard average.
Newberry College head foot
ball mentor, Fred Herren had
this to say about Williamson:
“He is one of th most versa
tile athletes in the South; he
can do so many things well.
He is a star offensive player,
a place-kicker, a punter, a
passer. We are particularly
glad to have him as part of
our athletic program,” Herren
continued, “because we are
losing our punter and place-
kicker through graduation.”
But football isn’t the only
sport that the Georgia athlete
is good in; he lettered for 2
years in basketball, 3 years in
baseball and 4 years in track.
In other Thomson High School
activities, he is a member of
the senior Hi-Y, vice-president
of the Key Club, and the presi
dent of his senior class. He is
also a past president of Youth
Council and a member of the
choir at the First Baptist
Church in Thomson. William
son is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Woodrow Williamson of
Thomson.
Jabs publishes
in Advocate
An evaluation of the college
in today’s world is made by Al
bert Jabs, dean of students at
Newberry College in an article
in the January 22 issue of the
“South Carolina United Metho
dist Advocate”.
Using as his theme “A New
Chapter on Freedom and Res
ponsibility”, he asserts that a
true college or university takes
the freedom of the mind and
spirit seriously. At the same
time it endeavors to create that
kind of environment which gives
free play to the intercourse of
ideas and values.
This is the second article
which Dean Jabs has written
recently for the Methodist per
iodical. An article analyzing rea
son and faith in the college con
text appeared in the September
1, 1969 issue of the magazine.

Gilroy rempage
dumps Lander
Charles Gilroy went on a
scoring rampage in Greenwood
Wednesday night by dumping
in 34 points-27 in the second
half-to lead the Indians in de
feating Lander College 86-72.
The first half was anybody’s
game as Newberry was able
to post only a one-point mar
gin, 34-33, at the half-way mark
of the game. But the Lander
Senators got into trouble early
in the second half and lost two
of their key men via the foul
route. After that it was Charlie
Gilroy and Newberry’s game.
The victory gave Coach Nield
Gordon’s men a 15-4 record for
the season and Lander a 7-13
