Derrick commanding of ficer of the Newberry National Guard Unit, together with Sgt. Clyde L. Lester attended a National Guard recruiting school at McEntire Air National Guard Base near Columbia this past weekend. In the coming months, Capt. Derrick & Sgt. Lester will be telling the National Guard story to eligible young men in the Newberry area. The South Carolina National Guard is embarking on an intensive statewide re tention and recruiting campaign and every effort is being made for units to achieve and maintain 100 percent strength in their hometown units. The National Guard is the nation’s pri mary reserve force and is ready in both peace and war to serve its state, commun ity and nation. Major General R. L. McCrady, the Ad jutant General, has given high priority to insuring units are manned and trained at all times. He officially opened the cam paign Saturday in an address to the more than 200 individuals throughout the state attending the school. Redskins take victory No. 6 over Mars Hill Under extremely wet condi tions and rainy skies, the New berry Indians coasted to their sixth victory of the season with out a loss before a Homecom ing crowd by defeating the Lions of Mars Hill by a score of 10-0 Saturday afternoon. The Indians didn’t show the great power as they have in previous games, but did ma- hage 230 total yards — 107 passing and 123 rushing. It was probably the least impressive game since tying Lenoir Rhyne. Nobody dislikes winning, but it was obvious that the coaching staff had hoped for a better performance than the 10-0 af fair which resulted. Head coach Fred Herfen said, “It’s nice to play that sloppy and win. We played to match the weather.” Both Newberry scores were set up by safety Keith McAlis ter on two blocked punts. With fourth and long yardage, Lion punter Jeff Davis dropped back to punt, but the blitzing safe ty McAlister blocked it. New berry took over on the Lion’s 29. A pass from quarterback Tommy Williamson to tight end Johnny Dawkins moved the ball to the 5. Tailback Don Garrick then took it in for the TD with about 7:00 left in the first quart er. Williamson’s extra point gave the Indians a 7-0 lead. In the closing seconds of the quarter, Newberry threatened again, when a bad snap from center in a punting situation gave Newberry the ball on the Lion’s 25. Newberry drove to the 2. but Garrick fumbled. Early in the second quarter, McAlister blocked his second punt of the afternoon, and New berry took over at the Lion’s 45. The Indians drove to the 16, but had to settle for a field goal. Williamson’s boot of 26 yards gave Newberry a 10-0 lead, with 11:24 left in the half, and finished the scoring for the day. After the kickoff, Mars Hill drove to the Newberry 3 yard line, but the rugged Indian de fense stopped them at the one. The next series of downs mark ed a big highlight in the game. With Mars Hill at the New berry 39, quarterback Kip Smith threw long but comerback Butch Jernigan intercepted in the end zone, setting a new conference record of 29 inter ceptions in a season, after only seven games. Both teams exchanged punts during the third quarter, with neither team having a scoring threat. In the opening moments of-the fourth quarter, Mars Hill had its second threat when safe ty Joe Lee Hill intercepted a Williamson pass and returned it to the Indian 19. On the next play, however, safety Keith McAlister intercepted the In dians 30th pass of the season in the Lion end zone, killing the Lion’s threat. The incredible Indian defense held the Lions to only 56 yards rushing and only 2 of these in the second half. The shutout was the fifth of the season and the third consecutive. The de fense has given up only one touchdown; and that was in the opening game with Emory and Henry. Although the Indians didn’t “crush” the Lions, as many thought they would, the big thing is that they came out with, a victory. Winning is the important thing, whether it’s 1-0 or 10-0, and victory sure is sweet. Isn’t it, Coach Herren! The Indians will be going after number seven this week against the winless Guilford Quakers in Greensboro, N. C. Although tough conference op ponents Elon and P.C. are yet to come, Coach Herren said, “We’re going to play them one at a time.” But when it comes to the conference champion ship, you can bet your life that he’s “digging it several!” — Roy D.
