Newberry preps for G-W The Indians of Newberry Col lege are preparing themselves for a big game this weekend when they travel to Boiling Springs, N. C. to take on the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs. Both teams were victorious last week with Newberry defeating Emory and Henry 27-7 and Gardner Webb downing Lenoir Rhyne 24-6. Newberry will be trying to average a 3-0 loss to the Bull dogs last year. The Newberry coaching staff was quite pleased with the de fensive play of the Indians in last Saturday’s encounter, but was quite unhappy with the in consistency of the offense. Tailback Donald Garrick got off to a good start rushing for 143 yards in 21 carries. Still, however, it was the defense which set up all Newberry’s touchdowns.

Head Coach Fred Herren pointed out that Gardner Webb is a strong, solid foot ball team who play tough and agressive defense. Some of the defensive standouts are line backer, Lee Thompson, 6’2”. 225 pounds, and tackle Hardin Davis, 5T1” 222 lbs. The offensive attack of the Bulldogs is led by junior quart erback Ray Hannon. According to Coach Herren, Hannon is a real scrambler and the defense will have to keep him under control. Last year, Hannon threw 14 touchdown passes and most of his passes will be di rected to senior end Meredith Scruggs 6’3”, 194 lbs. The Gardner-Webb Bulldogs are not a member of the Caro- lians Conference, but hopefully will be in years to come. They will be out to show other Con ference members just how good they are, as they did against conference member, Lenoir Rhyne. Coach Herren commented, “This is the year of the Indian, a 2-0 would really look great for the Indian’s home opener against Catawba on September 25.” Indians offense gets attention The Indians of Newberry Col lege spent today working on the offense. Despite a 27-7 victory over the Emory and Henry Wasps last Saturday night, the coaching staff was not pleased with the offensive game. Special concern went to offensive linemen getting off the ball and pass protection. Guard Larry Cobb made seve ral good blocks.
