Shealy, Jr. (Sunphoto) Grid season practice starts Sixty-five Indians checked in to Newberry College on Tues day to practice sessions for the 1972 gridiron season. The first day of practice was reserved for the issuing of uni forms and for picture taking for press representatives. “We will begin our practice in earnest on Wednesday,” Coach Fred Herren said, “with two practices a day until class es begin on September 7. We have only 13 practice days un til our oepning game against Emory and Henry College of Emory, Virginia, on September 9.” Coach Herren, who is be ginning his fifth season as New berry’s head coach, and his three-man coaching staff are re garding the new year with “cau tious optimism.” Although they may not be able to match last year’s record of 8-2-1 (which was the school’s best mark since 1924) the Indians will still be tough to beat. Newberry has 29 lettermen re turning including three All Car- olinas Conference and all NAIA District 6 players . . Frank Sac- comen, tackle; Don Garrick, back; and Ken Pettus, lineback er. Garrick was also chosen for All State honors last year. The offensive line will have experience with Larry Cobb, senior guard; Steve Parker, sen ior guard; Dexter Odom, senior center; “Shot” Hart, senior tackle; Frank Saccomen, senior tackle. The offensive backfield should be in good shape with the ver satile quarterback Tommy Wil liamson, junior, selecting the plays for Don Garrick, All-Con ference running back and Steve Williams, senior expereinced fullback returning. The pass re ceiving duties will be in the hands of three experienced re ceivers—R u s t y Davis, junior; Garry Talbert, sophomo;e and Bruce Lancaster, senior. The offense will be further bolstered by the added experience of senior quarterback Steve Muir- head and senior running back “Chuck” Beatty. From the defensive point of view, things seem to be in hand. Even though there will be four starters missing from the unit (who set a national record with 41 interceptions) there are a number of returnees to take up the slack. The secondary may prove to be the hardest area to patch up with the loss of All- American safety Saylor Fox. Three lettermen are returning who each have two years expe rience. They are “Butch” Jer- nigan, senior; David Sanders, junior and Keith McAlister, sen ior. The linebacking crew will be led by two three-year lettermen Ken Pettus, senior, and Mark Davis, senior. They will be sup ported by Phil Worthington, jun ior and Jim Bowers, junior. The defensive front seems to be as strong as ever and will be anchored by two outstand ing players—Greg Hartle, All Conference defensive end, New- brry junior, and All-District middle guard Rick Sargent, jun ior. There is an abundance of fine players surrounding these two. The defensive end position will be strong with the added experience of Roger Armistead (Continued on Page 12) County and State Democra tic candidates had made the rounds in June and were wind ing up canvassing when the De mocratic primary was postpon ed by court order. They have been at it hot and heavy again for the election slated for next Tuesday through out the state. Only one state-wide race is scheduled. State Senator Eu gene N. Zeigler and John Bolt Culbertson are competing for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate. The seat is presently being held by Sen. Strom Thurmond, a Re publican, whose term expires this year. In Senatorial District No. 5 nominees will be chosen for two seats. Seat No. 1 will put Sen. John D. Long III against James C. Paris. Sen. Robert C. (Bob) Lake, Jr. will be opposed by J. C. Bonner for the No. 2 slot. Other races are on the county and district level. Three can didates are seeking the Demo cratic nomination for sheriff. Incumbent Eugene B. Shealy is being opposed by former De puty Sheriff L. L. Henderson, and Thomas B. (Tom) Perry, who has made the race unsuc cessfully during another elec tion. Two seats on Newberry Coun ty Council are to be filled. In District 1, Seat 1, incumbent Ben F. Dawkins is being oppos ed by newcomer Dave C. Wal drop, Jr. For District 2, Seat 2 there are five aspirants for the seat heM by the late John Schumpert. They are George Harvey Caldwell, Harold B. Cook, HeywalU L. Fulmer, Cha- les L. Lake and L. Bruce Wes- singer. One magistrate seat is at stake. Incumbent J. 0. (Butch) Zobel is being challenged by Alvin G. Hipp. Alhtough Mr. Hipp has held no public office, he is no newcomer to politics.
