PAGE 6—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Nov. 25, 1970 Herren thinks Bronze Derby is only myth ‘‘As far as I’m concerned, the Bronze Derby is a myth,” ex claimed Newberry’s head foot ball coach Fred Herren. He was owing this statement to the fact that since he has been coach here the derby has not been in the school trophy case. He hoped to make myth a reality come November 26 when the number one Carolinas Con ference defensive team butts heads with the number one con ference offensive team. This fifty-sixth meeting of the two teams is also enhanced by the enthusiasm both teams have to make this year’s contest as ex citing as last years when PC won it in the last seconds on a field goal 23-21. PC tried the field goal, but it failed; how ever, Newberry had too many men on the field and the Blue Hose got a second life this time making good their try and win ning the game. Presbyterian is sporting a 6-3 record at present, and all indi cations are they will take the Carolina’s Conference crown from Elon this year. Perhaps the biggest threat the tribe will face is the throwing ability of quarterback Allen McNeill. Pre sently McNeill is averaging 160.4 yards per game in the aerial department.

But if McNeill is impressive in the passing department, the Indians pose just as big a threat in the running game with the Conference’s second leading rusher Donald Garrick with 1,073 yards so far this season. Quarterback Tommy William son, South Carolina sports wri ters back of the week last week hit 9 for 11 passes and three touchdowns against Samford. It looks like it will be one wide open football game. “They are a very fine foot ball team,” stated Herren. “They are not the biggest or the fastest team we’ve played, but they are definitely one of the best. Their record speaks for itself,” he continued. “McNeill is one of the best third down quarterbacks in this area. We will have to make a minimum of mistakes to stay in the ballgame, because they will not make very many. Bob by Norris is an outstanding line backer and a fine football play er,” concluded the head coach. The game gets under way at 2:00 p.m. Thanksgiving Day in Clinton. Winter driving tips are given With the recent dip in tem perature to below freezing in most sections of the state, offi cials of the South Carolina High way Department believe that some timely tips on winter dri ving are appropriate. Windshield and window frost ing head the Deaprtment’s list of hazards to safe driving in winter. Oftentimes a motorist will not take the necessary time to clear all the frozen moisture from his windshield. He will clear only a “peep hole” for himself which means that he can only see d irectly ahead. When this occurs it is almost the same as driving blind, ac cording to Department officials. “It is impossible for the mo torist to see to the side or back of him, meaning that he cannot know what the traffic around him is doing. Having a clear view in all directions is abso lutely essential to driving on today’s crowded highways,” one official said. ‘‘To be prepared for winter driving, the safety-conscious mo torist should get and keep a can of defroster spray in his car—• or an ice scraper—or devise some method of his own to take all the ice trom his car windows and windshield. We realize that a great deal of “peep hole” driving occurs when a driver, perhaps feeling that he is going to be late for work, decides he doesn’t have time to clear all the glass areas of the car. However, he really can’t afford not to take the time, since driving without being able to see around him can certainly result in an accident that might make him late, permanently,” he said. Another safe driving tip for the winter months concerns an activity that invites dangerous carbon monoxide into the car. “With Christmas right around the corner, we’ll be seeing more and more cars with the trunk lids up while transporting an item that will not fit into a closed trunk,” the official said. “When trunk lid is raised, a vacumn is created and deadly carbon monoxide fumes are sucked into the car.” WANT ADS AVON CALLING IT’S EASY TO SELL THE BEST—AVON will do the rest!

The frightening aspect of car bon monoxide poisoning is that it is odorless and can slip up on an individual before he knows it. The first effects make a per son listless, then semi-consciou& Finally unconsciousness and death follow. “Carbon Monoxide is insidi ous and lethal,” the highway official said. “There have been cases where a driver would en ter a service station thinking that everything was all right, only to collapse upon getting out of the car due to having inhaled carbon monoxide fumes. Although carbon monoxide poisoning is considered primari ly a winter hazard, it can hap pen during any season if cars have all windows closed and there is no ventilation. A final safety suggestion for winter driving concerns icy bridges. Ice can form on brid ges or other elevated struc tures where air circulates un derneath at times when there is no icing on roadways. “When the temperature is around the freezing mark, drive especially carefully on bridges,” the offi cial said. Farm-City Week being observed in county South Carolinians who labor in the fields and those who toil in the factories form a unique partnership dedicated to the betterment of life not only in their native state, but the en tire nation.. One provides raw material while the other turns out a fi nished product. They cannot get along very well without each other. Each is dependent on the other for products and ser vices so essential to modem li ving. Farm-City Week, scheduled November 20-26 in South Caw lina and the nation, promotes a deeper understanding between the farm worker and the city worker. This week is sponsored by the South Carolina Agricul tural Council. “There is only a narrow gap that sometimes divides the ru ral and urban segments of our population,” said A. F. Busby, Chairman of Farm-City Week in Newberry County. “Farm- City Week activities promote a working understanding of the interdependence of the two groups. They are directed to ward an exchange of ideas and a feeling of mutual interest and good will.” Chairman Busby pointed out that farmers help create jobs in the city for persons to ma nufacture the supplies and e- quipment they use and to haul, store, process, handle and sell the products of agriculture. These urban workers in turn, he added, need farmers to pro duce the food and fiber they use. “The efficient American farm er today,” said A. F. Busby, “has allowed us to eat better than ever before while spend ing less of our disposable in come for food which is of bet ter quality than that available in any other nation in the world. “Our farmer is an important customer for the products and services of businessmen,” ob served Chairman Busby. “And, of course, the urban consumers are the most important custo mers of farmers. They deter mine, to a large extent what and how much farmers pro duce. We can all be thankful that these two forces are work ing together for the good of our state and nation.” Combined efforts of persons living on the farm and in the Indians take crown at tournament For the second straight year Newberry College Indians cap tured the College of Charleston Tournament Crown before 1200 people in Charleston Saturday night. The tribe opened the tourney by defeating Morris College from Florence, S. C. 97-84. The tribe built up a good lead during the first half and led by 14 points as they went to the dressing room. Accord ing to Coach Nield Gordon, it’s a good thing they did because Morris came on strong in the second half. North Greenville Junior College transfer, Joe Styles, came off the bench and played about 25 minutes of the whole game and still managed to score 28 points. Junior Steve Hobson had 27 rebounds which is just 2 less than the school record of 29. He turned in an outstanding performance. Soph omore Tom Meadows, the Tour ney’s most valuable player, and junior Charlie Neal did a fine job of getting the ball down court against man to man press. In the second game of the tournament on Saturday night, Newberry generated a second half serve to beat the College of Charleston 88-81. The cou gars led 41-40 at halftime, but strong second half efforts by Joe Styles, Bill Sullivan, and city in Newberry help make the State of South Carolina and our nation strong.. “Both groups contribute in large measure to the wonder ful life we have the privilege to enjoy,” said Busby. “With out the special talents of each of them, things would be a lot more difficult for all of us.” National Farm-City Week on November 20-26 spotlights the idea of rural-urban understand ing under a theme this year of “Partners in Progress.” “In Newberry County, we are planning several events to fo cus attention on this profitable partnership,” said chairman Busby. “Although Farm-City Week is only an annual event, we feel that the understanding and cooperation of the two seg ments of society extends throughout the entire year. “This cooperation includes persons involved in agriculture, business and industry all help ing to develop our economic progress. Many changes have taken place in all three in re cent years. In many instances, the need for cooperation and understanding has increased greatly.” Farm-City Week in South Car olina is sponsored locally by the South Carolina Agricultural Council, a non-profit organiza tion of state, federal and com modity representatives interest ed in promoting agriculture. Statewide chairman is Walter T. Ahearn of the South Caro lina Forestry Commission. Steve Hobson pushed the In dians out front. “We played better than I thought at this stage of the season,” commented a happy Coach Gordon. “This tourna ment was a real tribute to our team, especially against the Col lege of Charleston who has some outstanding shooters. I attribute our wins to the fact that we seem to dominate up front,” concluded Gordon. Newberry must face a re match of the 1969 Champion ship Game in Spartanburg next Friday night when they face the Terriers of Wofford. Wof ford will be returning six let- termen and pose a major test of Gordon’s young team. “We know one thing, how ever, that we do have a good basketball team and we will be ready to compete,” stated Gor don.
