Burnf.tte Giebreath Williams O’Harra Reenstjerna Manager TAKE THE FIELD . . . . I lie I hanksgiving Day game against Ogle¬ thorpe was played in a driving rain, but the wet field had no effect on the Indians as they pushed a much heavier team around to the tune of a 20-0 score. 1 his game marked the close ol the IQ38 season for the Indians and the first under the guidance of a new coach, Billy Laval, who in his first season here at Newberry has established himself as one of us. 1 o the men who played their last game for Newberry we salute you. M ay you face life as you faced the opposition on the grid¬ iron. Best of everything to you all. Roberts Wicker , Bischofe R,mmeee Reenstjerna, Manager I ronl Ron.- I hurnian, Woodall.

Indians had exhibited all season. The follow¬ ing week the Indians met Rollins College in Florida and were swamped 56-0. The terrific heat seemed to slow the Indians up and they never did get a chance to click long enough to push over a score. Two tough games still re¬ mained on the Indians schedule: The Home¬ coming game against Wofford and the Turkey Day classic against Oglethorpe, for these two games meant a .500 average in wins and losses for the season. Against Wofford on Home¬ coming Day the Indians fought the best de¬ fensive battle of the season and won over the Terriers 6-2. Lucas Johnson Whitaker Thurman Lambeth r fPie Indh lans

Cappola DeBru HL Cromer BASKETBALL The 1939 basketball season was one of the most successful in recent years for the Newberry Indians. 1 he team won six games and lost six in the state competition, placing fourth. One of the most interesting games in several seasons was the last game with Furman on the local court, when Furman led 27-13 at the half. I he Indians rallied to a glorious comeback and won the game by a score of 51-40. Furman scored only five points in the first filteen minutes of the last half. A heart breaking game was the final one of the season when the Indians lost a one-point decision to the Citadel quintet 49-4 8. Prospects for next season are very bright, since only two men will be lost by gradua¬ tion —Ivy Cromer, guard, and Captain John Schull er, for¬ ward. ATSON Sc I IULLER 50
