A transplanted guard, 190-pound Buddy Sherfield, turned in a 66-yard run to set up the Sixer touchdown.

Sherfield carried the load for Ninety Six from the fullback spot, having been shifted there by Ninety Six Coach Jack Pitts after injuries in other games thinned out his back-field material. Sherfield's run came suddenly in the second quarter after a dull first quarter when neither By JIM JOYCE The Greenwood Emeralds took advantage of a blocked punt and two intercepted passes here last night and blanked the C. Flora Falcons of Columbia 23 to 0 in a Big 16 football game. The Emeralds "sparkled" on defense before a capacity crowd in their homecoming game as the home town athletes continuously rushed into the visitors' backfield to throw the Falcon runners for losses. "Those were men we played out there tonight," Greenwood quarterback Brush said atter the game, "They were big and hit hard." "The bovs played a very fine ball game," Coach J.

W. (Pinky) Babb said as he walked around the dressing room following the game with a big smile on his face. "It was the best game Greenwood has played all year," could be heard from spectators along side the field following the game as the joyful home town crowd made their way toward the exits. One man was overheard saying, "I wish these boys could get another chance at Sumter this year. The entire Emerald defensive line deserves a lot of credit as it was the hard-nosed charging of Greenwood that turned the visitors' backs to the wall.

John Cobb, Brooks Bannister, Larry Nickles, Thomas Wingard, Ran dy Bell, Mack Tharpe and Brush Babb proved to be the main cogs in the defensive wheel for the Emeralds. Pope Lawson, A. C. Flora's speedster halfback, was the only player to dent the Emer aid defensive wall. Lawson gained 61 yards in 14 carries for an average of 4.4 yards per carry.

Nickles continued to be the workhorse for Greenwood as he gained 70 yards in 19 car ries for an average of 3.7 yards per carry. It was Nickles who scored two of Greenwood's touchdowns and gained the necessary yard age needed for a first down sev- eral times throughout the con- STATISTICS First downs Yards rushing Yards passing Total yards Passes Passes intc.

The 170-pound fullback blocked Claude Belk's punt in the second quarter, jumped from the ground, picked up the ball and scored the first Emerald touchdown from the 30- yard line.

Greenwood had its first scor ing opportunity late in the op ening period when John Cobb pounced upon a Flora fumble on the visitors 36. Five plays later Jimmy Darragh attempt ed a field goal from the 14-yard line but the kick went wide to the left and Flora took over on its 20. Flora moved the ball consist entlv during the drive as full back Art Fusco and Lawson led the way, picking up four, five and six yards per carry. On third down and five yards to go for the first down quarterback Belk tossed a short pass to Lawson. Tharpe, who has made a menace of nimself against the Greenwood opponents all year, intercepted on the Green wood JD-yara line.

When Greenwood could not move the ball Tharpe kicked to the Flora 20 where Lawson almost broke into the open, fin ally being caught from behind at the midfipld stripe. The ball was moved back to the 45 when Flora jumped off sides. On a fourth down situation Belk dropped back to punt but barely got his foot into the ball as Nickles went charging into the punter to block the kick. Late in the first half Darragh kicked his third field goal of the season from the 15-yard line to give Greenwood a 9 to 0 lead at half time. The Emeralds were not to be denied as they entered the field at the start of the second half.

Greenwood received the kickoff and had to punt, but three plays later had the ball right back as Babb intercepted a pass on the Lmerald 47 and ran to the Flora 20. A clinDine Denaltv.nul- lified the run and placed the ball on the Mora 45. The Emerald offense began a spark of its own as Babb connected two pass plays, one to Robby Goldman and one to Bell that put the Ball on the visitors 32. In seven plays Nickles scored his yards for an apparent TD. A clipping penalty on the play nullified the score, however, and set off a big commotion as an official indicated that Calhoun Falls was to retain possession of the football.

A long conference between Sixer coach Pitts and officials resulted and Ninety Six was allowed to keep the ball at the midfield stripe. The Wildcats couldn't cash in on Sherfield's interceptjon as time ran out. Calhoun Falls "had a number of drives stalled inside the Ninety Six 20 by the defensive work of the Ninety Six team. Outstanding for Ninety Six on defense were linebacker Mike Buf-ford, halfback Gary Peterson and tackle Wayne Robinson. Rayford Newton and David Neely were outstanding on de fense for the Blue Flashes.

The real bright spots, how- ever, were Jim Brown, Sam Crouch, John Crawford and Ray Hesse.

This quartet is good on offense. But on defense, they're outstanding. Hesse added to his offensive laurels, tossing passes for all of Saluda's scores and one extra point.

He was caught from behind at the Calhoun Falls five but it was easy for the Sixers the rest of the way Two plays later Sherfield plunged over for the score and then ran the extra point. Calhoun Falls came fighting back in the final quarter to throw a scare into the big Sixers. Sixer Ken Davis, back to punt from his own 11, got a high snap from center and had to run with the ball but could only get to the 18 where Calhoun Falls took over on downs.

Calhoun Falls Coach Maxie Roddey then had his quarterback Mike Burton go into the I formation for the first time in the game. With Burton and lumbering fullback Barry Puc-kette punching out short yardage in steady clips, the Blue Flashes were soon at the Sixer goal and Burton plunged across.

The joy of winning in the closing seconds of the game was snatched away from the Tigers before an almost capacity homecoming crowd. Down 18 to 7 with only five minutes and 27 seconds left in the game, Saluda recovered a York fumble on the Saluda 30 and began to click. Ray Hesse passed to Russ Shealy for a first down, ran another first and then hit end Rod Gunter on the York 18. Time was ticking away and with two minutes and 16 seconds left Hesse tossed fo end Jim Brown on the York eight-yard linejind Brown bulled his way over for a touchdown.

The extra point attempt failed and Vork4ed.Jft.to 13 with 2:08 left. After the ensuing kickoff, the Tigers held York on the Saluda 42, with only 1:31 to go. It looked almost helpless for Saluda. But Hesse, showing poise, tossed to Shealy for a touchdown, good for 42 yerds. The extra point attempt failed again, but no matter.

The Tigers led 19-18 and there was only 44 seconds left. Obviously not time, for York to do anything. The crowd was jubilant. The players jumped with joy. It looked like another patented Saluda come-from-behind victory- But the boys from York were unimpressed with all the cheering and jumping.

As the old saying gofes, they come to play. And with 44 seconds left, they played. York quarterback Joe Barton passed all over the field, taking his team down to the Saluda nine-yard line. From there Barton dropped back to throw again but spotted an opening down the middle and scooted through for a touchdown. Barton then added the extra point on a run to make it York 25, Saluda 19.

Saluda then had three seconds to go and the kickoff return killed that time. Saluda picked up 15 first downs to 10 for York but speedsters Freddie Munn, Bill Jackson and Robert Johnson, along with Barton made up the difference.
