The Newberry Indians opened their
football SEASON last Monday by over
whelmingly defeating the B. NJ. |.
1900, which, by the way, is one OF the
largest scores ever made in the his
tory of the game. The visitors arriv-
ed about p. NJ, in automobiles from
Greenwood, wsre out on the fld about
8 o'clock. The Indians came out Of
the gymnasium at about 3.2O and went
through a little signal practice.
The game opened with B. NJ. I. re-
ceiving. Floyd kicked off and B. NJ |.
was downed on their 20 yard line. Al
ter threa unsuccessful attempts to ad-
vance the ball, B. NJ L. kicked, Nc
Lain making the catch and advanced
the ball 10 B. NJ Is. u yard line. An
end run followed by an end buck by
Nichols scored Newberrys first touch
down. Floyd kicked goal From this
time on until the end Newberry ad-
vanced the ball at will and her goal
was never in danger.
Coach Thomas's Indians worked like
we'll oiled machine during the whole
of the contest and their showing was
a complete surprise to the many sup
porters of the college. The broken
field running, of McLain was superb
and was perhaps the feature of the
game, his running back of punts be-
ing especially good The end run
ming of R. Baker and the smashing
line bucks of Baker, Floyd, Fulmer,
Nichols and Wise showed that their
training had been we'll looked after.
In fact the entire backfeld starred and
played brilliantly in every department
of the game.
S. Baker, Crotwell, and Hipp, on
the ends, proved themselves adopts in
the art of smashing interference and
were fighting all the time. Each Of
these ends captured long forward
passes for substantial gains and in
fact upheld the high calibre of foot
ball being played by their teammates,
The line was as strong as brick
wall, reinforced and held more than
its own at all times. Deaton, Brooks,
Stoudemayer, Derrick, Boland and
Bodie were extra strong on defense
and on numerous occasions did these
fellows break through and tackle the
runner behind the line.
The result was more thar even the
most optimistic had hoped for and en-
tirely justified the opinion OF the trus-
tees that Newberry would be able to
hold it's own when they voted to allow
football this year. Credit must be
given to the plucky Greenwood team,
who, though out-classed and out play
ed at every stage of the game, did not
once quit, but were playing as hard
at the last as they were at first. THY
possess the right spirit and when the
two teams meet again on Thanksglv-
ing a closer game may be expected.
The Newb rrian's showed great pro-
mise to make this a successful season
and their work was very satisfactory
to Coach Thomas. The forward pass,
end runs, and line bucks were all
worked with equal ease and the
swiftness of the backfeld and ends
prove that they will make trouble for
the other teams in the State.
Messrs. Won Kolp'N and Passail-
aigue of Columbia handled the game
in a very satisfactory manner. The
next game will be played at Union on
Wednesday October 22nd, with Fur
man. The squad expects to repeat
Mondays victory and the results OF
the game will be noted with interest
by all of the football enthusiasts.
