College cage
team organizing
Coach Nield Gordon started
putting the 1970-71 Newberry
College Basketball team through
its paces today getting ready
for another new season.
The Newberry College Indians
posted their best regular sea
son in the history of the school
last year with 21 wins and 6
losses. After tournament play,
the Indians finished with a fi
nal record of 22 wins and 9
losses. They got off to a fine
start with nine straight wins
including their second consecu
tive South Carolina T i p-0 f f
Championship and also won the
College of Charleston Invita
tional. The Indians were tied
for second in the Carolinas Con
ference with an 8-4 record with
Lion, and they gained a host
spot in District 6 with 11 wins
and 1 loss.
Gone from last years record
setting team is All-Conference,
All-Tournament, All-District 6,
Steve Hollingsworth who ave-
raged 21.1 points per game;
(i t) Buddy Moore. All-District
(5 selection and first team mem
ber of the Lutheran College All-
American with a 20.4 scoring
average; (>'2" Charlie Gilroy
who led the league and the dis
trict in rebounding with 483 re
coveries for 16.1 average per
game- he also averaged 15
points per game; and also
Tommy Miller who set a school
field goal percentage record
with a 58.2 average with over
10 points a game. Tne fifth
starter. Kevin Howard, has
transferred to another school.
District 6 Coach-of-the-Y e a r
Nield Gordon, will have to start
from scratch in rebuilding the
fine ball clubs of the past two
years.
The only returning lettermen
are Charlie Neal who saw ac
tion in 22 of the teams 31 games
and had a 1.8 scoring average,
and Bill Sullivan, a 6’5” soph
omore center, who saw action
in 30 of the 31 games and ave
raged 6.3 points per game. To
be replaced are players who
scored 75 points per game out
of the team average of 82.
To build around. Coach Gor
don will start with Neal and
Sullivan and a trio of Junior
College players, two transfers,
and several promising fresh
men e'e” Steve Hobson, who
sat out last year after trans
ferring from Motgomery Junior
College, could wind up with one
of the starting forward posi
tions. A fine outside shooter and
aggressive rebounder will give
the Indians strength under the
board. Mike Barb, a 6’6”, 220
pound sophomore with good in
side moves would give the In
dians three big men with Bill
Sullivan manning the center at
6’5”, 200 pounds, the type of
front line it takes to compete
in the rugged Carolina Confe
rence.
Should any of these three fal
ter, an All-Conference perfor
mer and leading rebounder
from North Greenville Junior
College, Joe Styles, a rugged
6'3”, 190 pound, could step in
and play either forward or cen
ter. In 6’8" Paul Sherman, a
transfer from Ohio State, Coach
Gordon could have the man to
replace Buddy Moore who per
formed so well the past two
years. Sherman, a left hander,
has a better than average out
side shooting touch for a big
man. and when he becomes
eligible in January, he will add
strength and depth to the In
dians front line.
The guard positions are pret
ty well set with two-year letter-
men Charlie Neal and Tommy
Meadows, a Junior College Ga
ger from Prince George Junior
College that produced Charlie
Gilroy; a tremendous leaper
like Gilroy, but only 5T0" and
a fine passer and play-maker.
The third guard will come from
freshman Gary Pittman, an
All-Stater from Greenville,
South Carolina, or Eric Mulli-
nax, who played with Gordon
Military Academy last year.
Kim Bodie and Bill Ellis, two
sophomores who saw little ac
tion last year, have improved
a great deal and could help
the team. Leland Teal, Paul
Whitaker, and 6T1” Mike Lake
will add strength and depth to
the Indian squad.
This is a new team and a
new season. A winning tradi
tion has been established and
there is much optimism in the
Indian camp for this coming
season. Coach Gordon says, “As
we gain experience in our pre
season games and the first half
of the season, we could be in
the running again for the Con
ference Championship and Dis
trict 6 play-offs by tournament
time. There is much enthusiasm
and excitement among our play
ers with all of them knowing
that they have a chance for a
starting position at the begin
ning of the season.”

Forum on aging
set next week
Middle-aged and older citizens
will have the opportunity to
speak out on their basic needs
at an Older Americans Commu
nity White House Forum to be
held at Speer Street Recrea
tion Center on October 7, 1970
at 9:30 A.M.
“Nearly one in four older
Americans live below the po
verty line. That is about 5,000-
000 people”, said Thomas H.
Leitzsey & Rev. Charles Gaha-
gan, Co-Chairman of the Com
mittee which organized the
meeting. “In addition to the
squeeze caused by fixed in
comes, many are also strugg- 1
ling, often alone, against pro
blems in health, housing, em
ployment, and transportation.”
Harry R. Bryan of Columbia,
Executive Director of the S. C.
Interagency Council on Aging,
has said that, “The ideas ex
pressed at these forums will
have a great deal of influence
in state planning for the aging
and in the recommendations
that South Carolina will take
to the White House Conference
on Aging in 1971.”
Representatives of public a-
gencies, political offices^ chur
ches, and other groups will be
on hand to hear the ideas ex
pressed by older people who
attend. This meeting will be
open to any middle-aged and
older people who can attend.
Sales are up;
earnings down
The Kendall Company’s sales
were up and earnings were
down slightly for the third quar
ter of 1970, Dr. Willard M.
Bright, president and chief ex
ecutive officer, said today. Sales
totalling $54,042,000 showed a 3
per cent increase over the com
parable period last year and
were slightly ahead of sales of
$53,299,000 recorded for the se
cond quarter this year.
Third quarter earnings of
$2,183,000 or 33 cents per share
increased 15 per cent over se
cond quarter earnings of $1,903,-
000, although they were below
the 36 cents per share in the
third quarter of last year, Dr.
Bright said. “This earnings lag
is primarily attributable,” he
said, “to continuing softness
in sales of some textile lines
and certain industrial p r o-
ducts.”
Dr. Bright reported that other
areas of Kendall’s business
were showing progress, despite
unfavorable economic condi
tions. Sales of hospital products
and nonwoven fabrics are sub
stantially higher than last year,
he said, and also some consu
mer product lines show an up
turn. Kendall’s international bu
siness continues well ahead of
last year, Dr. Bright said.
