Indians lose: are “We know now that we are a good team,” proclaimed New berry College head coach Fred Herren despite the 3-0 defeat the Indians took at the hands of the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs. Backing up that statement Herren continued, “We’ve got to be more consistent. We had more total offense (350 yards) Saturday night than any game last year, but those five inter cepted passes really hurt. The secret to winning is to keep the football,” Herren concluded. The Indian coach was im pressed with the running per formance of his sophomore back Chuck Beaty who compiled a 9.2 yard per carry average with a total of 119 yards. Tail back Donald Garrick, last week’s state offensive player of the week had eight carries for 80 yards for a 10.0 YPC. “The Indian defense was tre mendous,” according to Her ren. “They held the Bulldogs to a 186 yard total offense and only a 1.3 yard per carry ave rage.” The only score of the game came on a 30-yard field goal by Bulldog Bernie Sanders in the last three seconds of the first half. The Indians threatened with only seconds to play in the game, but a pass on a fake field goal by Indian quarterback Gary Welchel w r as intercepted by Gardner-Webb’s Tommy Way on the nine to run out the clock and seal the game for the Bulldogs. The next home game will be Oct. 3 against Lenoir Rhyne. This will also be Newberry Mills and Owens-Illinois Night at Setzler Field. This week the Indians travel to Salisbury, N. C. to battle the rival Indians from Catawba. “They are phy sically the largest team we play this season,” commented coach Herren. They have one of the best running backs in Greg Sin gleton in the conference,” he continued. “We will have to hang on to the football in order to win.” TRANSFERS OF REALTY Newberry No. 1: L.
