Two members of the Newberry College' football team this year are two Robeson County boys--Ken Morgan and Hoyt Hayes- Both men played their high school ball at Fairmont, and junior college football at Asheville- Biltmore. Lumberton area football fans will be pleased to know that they are both to see extensive duty for Coach Harvey Kirkland's "Fighting Redskins," who posted an'excellent 7-1-1 record in 1953. Ken Morgan is a "senior quarterback who played an important role in the Indians' victory drive last year. Although not the first- string quarterback, his -passing and greatly-improved ball-hand- ling made him irivaluable to the, team. Now in his last year at Newberry, he is expected to make 1954 his greatest season.

Morgan is a fine passer and runner who.fits in well with the Indians' He intends to go to dental school after graduating. Hayes, 160-poiind halfback, is in his year at Newberry. Coach Kirkland has. high hopes that he will continue his effective running, which he has shown during the pre-season's drills. Hayes is one of the fastest men on the Newberry squad.

Hayes is 'a boy who hustles and hard -this and along with his natural ability, should cause him to see plenty of backfield duty this fall Women's National Amateur Faulk Among 1st Round Winners By HUG II FULLERTON PITTSBURGH BV- You can't improve on perfection.
