Dinwiddie’s Guard Play
Brightens Cage Outlook
Little Morris Dinwiddie, Georgia's 5-10, 160-pound guard, is cur
rently averaging 14.7 points per game and convincing many Bulldog
fans that he will replace Murphy McManus as Georgia’s main spark
plug next year.
The dynamic speedster transferred
to the University from Chlpola Junior
College, Marianna, Fla., this year and
forged his way Into the Bulldog
starting lineup after only one game
of the season. Dinwiddle replaced
Horace Knight at guard when Knight
was moved to a forward spot to re
place Billy Joe Groover who was
dropped from the squad.
In the first two games of the sea
son, Dinwiddle sank only six points,
hut since then he hns raised his aver
age to the second highest on the
team.
McManus, Zippy Morocco and Bob
Schloss are the only three Bulldog
hasketballers who have ever averaged
more In one season than Dinwiddle’s
current average.
Coach Harbin "Rod” Lawson has
nothing but praise for the high spir
ited and determined play of the 19-
year-old pharmacy major. Lawson !
said that he Is "extremely pleased
with the great amount of progress
the little guard has made this sea
son.”
Two weeks ago In Georgia’s losing
battle with Tennessee, Dinwiddle
played his best game as a Bulldog,
pouring In 12 field goals and eight
foul shot for a total of 30 points.
This Is the highest one-game total
any Georgia player has scored this
season.
One of Dinwiddle’s strongest points
is bis amazing foul shot accuracy. He
has poured In 60 free throws while
missing only 19 for an average of
76.0. While at Chlpola, he set a Jun
ior college foul shot record by sink
ing 85 per cent as a regular sopho
more guard.

Bullpups Beat
Baby Paladins
In Monday Tilt
Furman’s Ed Berryhlll put on a
one-man shooting exhibition at Wood
ruff Hall Monday night as he tallied
38 points in a losing cause as Geor
gia's freshmen got back on the win
ning track by smashing the Baby
Paladins, 87-79, after they had suf-
jfered their second defeat Saturday
night at the hands of Georgia Mili
tary College, 67-54. The Bullpups
had defeated Richmond Academy
Friday night, 75-45.
Terry Hagan paced the Georgia at
tack against Furman with a total of
24 points while Ray Allen, Bill Hearn
and Henry Cabaniss scored 20, 18,
and 15 points respectively.
The Bullpups are now sporting a
highly impressive 17-2 record and
have an excellent chance of compil
ing the best rocord ever made by a
Georgia freshman hoop team. They
will meet Gordon Military Academy
twice and Clemson once in the com
ing week. They face Gordon here Sat
urday night and then hit the road
Monday and Tuesday for games with
Gordon and Clemson.
In recent games Bill Hearn has
been pulling an iron man stunt for
the Bullpups. He practices every af
ternoon with the Georgia football
team and then he plays basketball
with the Bullpups.
DROP BAM A TILT
FSU Defeats Georgia
In Overtime, 88-79
• /
Coach Ilarbin Lawson’s Bulldog basketeers, who usually give the
home crowds a close game, temporarily fell out of form against Ala
bama Saturday night, 98-77, but turned in the normal thriller Mon
day as they fell to FSU, 88-79, in overtime
Georgia led 47-39 at the half, but ‘
with the beginning of the second
period came the beginning of a steady
Florida thrust that saw the Semi
noles knot the score, 74-72, with two
minutes and fifteen seconds to go.
Shots by Bubba Potts and Murphy
McManus and a dribbling exhibition
by Morris Dinwiddie put the Bulldogs
ahead again until Seminole star Jim
Oler sank a shot that tied the score
again, 76-76, just before the final
horn.
In the overtime, FSU took over,
sinking everything they shot. The
pressure seemed too great for the
Bulldogs, and shots by Potts, Din
widdie, McManus and Bill Ensley
missed their mark. Seminole forward
Dick Artmeier began the extra-peri
od scoring parade which finally
brought the FSU overtime total to
12 points while the Georgians got
three on a goal by Dinwiddie and a
[free throw by Ensley.
Forward Horace Knight took scor
ing honors for the Bulldogs with 18
points. Seminoles Ham Wernke, with
28. and Oler, with 19, were the
night’s high pointers. Potts and Din
widdie sank 15 each.
Against Alabama, the Bulldogs
ended what had been a long string
of Woodruff Hall victories. The
Tide’s Jerry Harper led all scorers
with 29 points, 19 of which came in
the second half of the one-sided en
counter. McManus led the Bulldogs
with 16 markers despite the effects
of a recent attack of flu. Knight, Ens
ley and A1 Parrish added 11 points
each.—McBt'RN EY
