Indians meet Gardner-Webb 2 Saturday night The Newberry College Indians and the Bulldogs from Gard ner-Webb College butt heads at Setzler Field in Newberry Sa turday night. The Indians won the first encounter with the Bull dogs last year 27-15, but it could be anyone’s ball game as new head coach George Litton joins the Gardner-Webb staff. Litton took over the leash in early January. He was athletic director and head football coach at Lees-McRae Junior College. He lost only two games his last three years at Lees-McRae. The Indians will be relying on quarterback Gary Welchel and tailback Donald Garrick to spur the offense past the Bull dog defense. Garrick broke two school records in last Saturday’s contest against Emory & Henry. He rushed for 186 total yards, one of which was a 90-yard spring from his own ten. Coach Herren hopes his offensive line spurred by Mike Bodie from N. Augusta, Tony Powell from Stone Mountain, Ga., and Car- roll Martin from North, S. C. can keep the holes open for backs Garrick and Jimm) Ful ton. Herren is concentrating main ly on polishing the option play that worked so well against Emory & Henry. Defensively Coach Steve Robertson is work ing on discipline, reading keys, and basic plays for Saturday’s contest. Gardner Webb has a strong team, according to Ro bertson. They have a strong quarterback in Ken Hannen, who can run and pass very well.” Robertson added. “Their backs, Meredith Scruggs, Mal colm Singleton, and end Ken Reed will pose a challenge to the Indian defense.” It will be up to Indians Ken Pettus, Andy Murtiff. Marion Waters, front and safety’s Saylor Fox and Danny W’orsley to match for the passes. Gardner-W'ebb held their own against powerful Lenoir Rhyne last Saturday losing by a score of 27-14. Newberry will face the Bears after the Gardner- Webb encounter. This will be a preview for them for the game with their rival school. Hightower is Sertoma guest R. A. (Ronnie) Hightower, GOP Candidate for the S. C. House of Representatives, ad dressed the Newberry Sertoma Club. Monday evening, as spe cial guest of this civic group’s monthly dinner meeting. Roscoe Bedenbaugh. Sertoma Club Program Chairman, in troduced Harold Koon, New berry County GOP Chairman, who in turn introduced High tower to the group. Hightower said, “I have been interested in Republican poli tics since the early 1960’s and now I find myself a candidate concerned with the present is sues in South Carolina and New berry County. When I think of the current issues, of how South Carolina ranks lowest where it should be highest, it brings to mind a commence ment speech that I heard while in high school in Salu,da. The speaker was stating that we had to get South Carolina on top and better our educational stan dards and provide better, higher paying jobs.” “The issues being presented to the people by the Republi can party are not new ones, but they are problems which the Democratic party has had ample time to do something about. Of course, we all know the one-party system has not removed us from our previous position at the bottom of the totum pole. We are still 49th in education, 47th in teacher pay, and we are near the top of the list in national rankings in the amount that the people of this state are taxed. “I believe one of the most important issues today in South Carolina is what I call the Wat son-West Issue. The people in South Carolina have a once in a lifetime chance of electing a right-thinking man of integrity, a man like you and I who really wants to put an end to the petty power-plays that dominate the character of Democratic poli tics. Hightower continued, “To bring about a real change in South Carolina for the better the only choice is Albert Wat son for Governor. When I think of Lt. Gov. West I am reminded of how he gave his whole-heart ed endorsement of Hubert Hum phrey as the Democratic candi date for President. West said that he thought Humphrey was ‘the most qualified man in the party for the job’. And just prior to this Hubert Humphrey was quoted on national televi sion as saying ‘if I were black I’d be rioting and burning too’!” “I just can’t see how the voter can do anything else but vote for a man who even while he was a Democrat openly sup ported Nixon in 1960. He sup ported Goldwater in 1964 and Nixon again in 1968.” Hightower pointed out the eco nomic picture stating, “Our S. C. Reserve Fund of $21 Million is now depleted and we fund projects such as the Tricente- nial Commission with $5 Mil lion per year. What makes this a real problem is our duplica tion of expenditures. The S. C. Department of Parks, Recrea tion and Tourism receives $2 million a year and the S. C. Recreation Commission receives 1$ million a year. We need less duplication in this area as in many other commissions to bet ter serve S. C. Taxpayers and at less cost to our citizens.” On the sales tax issue High tower said, “Last year the 3 percent sales tax was increased to 4 percent. I propose to intro duce legislation which will exempt medical costs and food costs from sales tax. This would help considerably our citizens who must live on fixed incomes and who simply cannot afford higher taxes every year.” “The people of Newberry County need a representative who will take a stand on issues. They need a man who is will ing to lay his political life on the line for his decisions. I in tend to do what I think is right and if the people don’t agree with me they can vote me out of office.” “The people of Newberry need a man who will compro mise on issues for the public good, but at the same time be a person who will not compro mise the needs of the people. I won’t be going down to Colum bia to the General Assembly with the thought in mind of serving my eight years so I can get a state retirement. As a matter of fact, I believe it would be a good idea to do away with the retirement system for e- lected officials altogether. DARMSTADT - Master Ser geant Billie Duffie, son of Mrs. Gertrude G.

Indians polish offense game The Newberry College Indians still feeling good after their vic tory over Emory & Henry are bearing down to serious prac tice for their up-coming game with the Bulldogs from Gard ner-Webb College.
