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

Hood Thurman Croxton Lucas Wessinger TRACK TEAM For the lirst time in many years track became a major part of the sports program at Newberry this year. 1 he track team was composed of volun¬ teers under the direction of Chief Lloyd Kimmel, sophomore, and witb little equipment but a great deal of loyal Indian spirit, worked out daily on the improvised field in preparation for the state track meet, d he team was victorious in a number of dual meets with various colleges of the state. At Clinton in the state meet, the Newberry team aroused the attention of leading sports writers to such an extent that one commented that New¬ berry is the team to watch in track I he Indians finished in third place, topped only by Clemson and Carolina. With the renewed interest of stu¬ dents and alumni in this sport, Newberry looks forward to even greater success in the future, but to those students who are responsible for that interest Newberry owes a deep debt of gratitude.
