Va. ConferenceBv MAC PORTERFIELDBECKLEY (UP1) - As a scruffy - haired kid in the grimy coal camp of neighboring Stanaford, his boyhood cronies used to call ' him “Butch.”Now, at 25, his fellow Blue Hawk cagers dub him “the Old Man.”Not fazed by his “old age,” however. Bill Smith sweats on as the mainstay of the Beckley College basketball squad.Last week’s 31-point performance against Bluefield, and Saturday’s 32-point total in dumping Ohio Valley at Parkersburg allowed Smith to bump Fairmont’s Bill Lindsey out of the No. 1 slot in West Virginia Conference scoring honors.Unofficially, Smith’s average after 11 games stood at 22.7.Statistics also have thrown Smith into a three-way tie for high game—an accolade shared by Tech’s Jack Puckett and Bluefield’s Sam Stuart.
