The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Oct. 29, 1970—PAGE 3 Newberry men outstanding on gridiron Two Newberry men have been cited by the coaching staff at Newberry College as putting forth an outstanding perfor mance on the Indian football squad. Freshman Greg Hartle is really making a good impres sion on the coaches in his first year on the squad. The defen sive end is ‘‘one of the finest freshman performers in the con ference,” according to head coach Fred Herren. “His size, strength, and speed give him the qualities of an outstanding football player.” Perhaps the man who knows Greg best is defensive coach Steve Robertson. Says Robert son, “I attribute two things to his great ability on the college gridiron; one, he was well- coached in high school, and two, he is just an outstanding athe- lete.” ‘‘For a freshman he doesn’t make many mistakes, but when he does, he can recover quickly and still get the job done. He doesn’t mind working, he has everything it takes to be a win ner,” continued Robertson.. The 6’2”, 200 pounder did a fine job of pressuring the quar terback in last week’s game against Catawba. He dumped the quarterback for substantial losses. ‘‘His ability to play the pass and the run are equally impressive,” stated Robertson. “He can beat blockers and stay with the passer and receiver which makes him as well a ba lanced performer that we have.” Robertson concluded, “Greg will probably be one of the fi nest defensive linemen in the conference before he leaves Newberry.” Hartle is the son of Mrs. N. M. Hartle of 726 Boundary St. He attended Newberry High School where he played foot ball under coach Jim Kimmell. He did an outstanding job in the South Carolina All-Star High School game in 1969. Billy Koch has been on the Indian squad for three seasons. He is a senior and co-captain of the 1970 team. He stands 5'10” and weighs 170 pounds and plays in either linebacker posi tion. Coach Robertson had these comments about Billy. “Koch is a necessity to any football team. Although not a regular starter, he is probably more valuable to the team as a back up man because he understands both linebacker positions and can go in when and where he is needed and lo a fine job.” “Some people have said that Koch is too small to play the linebacker position. The fact that he made Renegade last week for ten tackles and four assists with countless other bone-jarring tackles in previous games disputes the theory that you have to be big to play line backer,” continued Robertson. “He has a natural sense of football; he can read an offen sive play and be there to make the stop. He is a fine leader and a good “team man” con cluded the defensive coach. Besides being an outstanding athelete, Koch is one of the most respectea men on campus. During his college career, he has been vice-president of his sophomore class and president of the junior class. He has been active in ATO social fraternity, Block “N” Club, Blue Key Na tional Honor Fraternity, and Fellowship of Christian Athe- letes. Presently he is president of the College Student Govern ment Association. He also main tains a high scholastic average, Billy is the son of the Rev. and Mrs. John Koch, Jr. of 1307 Drayton St. He attended Walhalla High School where he graduated in 1967. Coach Fred Herren summed up Billy’s qualities with the comment, “It’s amazing that a guy no bigger than he is can produce the quality of play that he does.” COLLEGE CALENDAR Mid-term examinations, poli tics. and Homecoming are on the agenda for Newberry Col lege students this week. The semester is officially half- over at the conclusion of classes on Thursday. Oct. 29. so the students will be able to relax as they participate in the Home coming festivities.

But the constitution which at any time exists, until changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government. -George Washington, in his Farewell Address.
