Phil Shaw Repeats As
Bibb Champion Golfer
Phil Shaw of Porterdale, who
recently signed a golf scholar
ship grant with the University
of Tennessee, repeated his 1967
championship as Bibb Manufact
uring Company’s best linksman
at the Porterdale Golf Course
on May 25-26. Phil is 18 years
of age and only last week grad
uated from Newton County High
School.
This was the first time in the
history of the tournament that
there had been a back-to-back
winner. Young Shaw shot a4O
on the front side, then a fan
tastic 35 on the final nine to take
the championship, defeating
runner-up Henry Hutchinson of
Columbus. All scores in the
event are note-worthy since they
were earned in rainy, sloshy
weather.
Shaw had a fine 75 on Sun
day’s final round to down Hutch
inson by one stroke. His open
ing 74 on Saturday was one of
the finest tournament rounds
played at Porterdale. Only some

erratic plays, combined with
messy weather on Sunday, caused
his defeat.
“B” Division of the Champ
ionship was won by Matt Crowell
of Porterdale who has done some
fine playing in past tournaments.
He defeated Bill Shaw (brother
of Phil) of the General Office
on the first hole of the sudden
death play-off.
“C” Division winner was Har
ry McFarling of General Office
who edged out Wilbur Hutchin
son, brother of Henry.
There were not only brother
participants in the event, but
also fathers and sons. The
champion had the added pleasure
of receiving his trophy from his
father, M. B. Shaw, General Su
perintendent, Porterdale Divi
sion, who made all the presen
tations.

umbrellas and wearing rain coats
followed the Championship flight,

Brightest
BY 808 GREER J
(News and Sports Editor)
Now that another school term 1
has ended, a new one is in the
offing for the Newton County
High School Ram football play- ,
ers. Head Coach Wilbur Fisher
has already announced the prac
tice schedule for the 1968 as- '
pirants for the team.
Players will report for two
a-day drills in shorts on Au
gust 19 at the NCHS gymnasium
and Sharp Field. For the first
four days the Rams will run
and take exercises. The team
personnel will go to the annual
football camp at Lake Jackson
on August 23. On August 26
the players will don pads at the
camp. They will return to Cov
ington on August 29.
The 1968 season opening game
will be Friday, Sept. 6 against
the Rockdale County Bulldogs on
Sharp Field in Covington.
Coach Fisher intimated this
week that “our season will de
pend on finding a good line of
scrimmage.” Most of the let
termen lost from last year’s
team were linemen.
However, Fisher said that
overall the situation is bright
for a most successful season
at Newton High. He cited sev
eral linemen as nucleus for a
good forward wall as Andy Ho
well, Dilmus Fuller, Ralph
Spears, George Lazenby, Tony
Watson, Billy Williams, Rick
Poole and Donny Moore, all show
ed traits of greatness in the
Annual Spring Game.
The backfield on hand for the
fall sessions brought beams of
smiles to Fisher’s face. He
named over several young men
who could propel NCHS to a
championship year. Jim Allen
and Tony Moon at the quarter
back slot, Johnny Moon, Bobby
Lunsford, Billy Childers at full
back, Bobby Hood, Frankie Cook
and Roy Callaway at tailback,
Bobby Thomason, Nippy Harcrow
at the swingback slot in the l
offense.
“In spring practice we had
32 boys out for the team. We
expect to take 40-45 to the FFA
Camp session this fall and that
will be more players than we
have had at the camp for many
years,” Coach Fisher stated.
“However, the boys who work
day in and day out, and work
hard, are the boys who will
build endurance as well as an
attitude to win,” he added.
Other players who Coach Fish
er point to as potential fine foot
ball players this fall, are: Hugh
Hudson, Gerry Katz, Jackie
Freeman, Danny Dial, Billy En
trekin, Joe Heard, Lee Piper,
Sidney Norton, Ben Marks, Larry
Johnson, Stanley Davis, Edward
Mitchell, Bill Brooks and Jackie
Spears.
Fisher was pleased that two
new players have moved into
the county and will be counted
