Georgia closes out another disappointing basketball season Friday
Coach Whatley has been connected
with the Southeastern Conference for
seven years, having spent three years
with Alabama, and his teams have
won the SEC championship five times
out of these seven.
The 1954 Georgia Bulldog base-
hallers emerged on top of the con
ference with a 13-5 record and an
overall record of 16-9, copping the
title In 1933, the year the SEC orig
inated. However, the 'Dogs didn't
capture the crown again until the
last two years.
"Florida, Auburn and Tech will
probably he the strongest teams In
this division,” Whatley stated. When
asked his opinion on Georgia's win
ning the SEC title again this year,
he replied thnt the chances ar "not
too good.”
The infield will probably be the
strongest spot for the team this year
with three returning starters from
the 1954 sqtiud Seniors first base-
man Johnny Dougins and shortstop
Reggie Andrews, together with soph
omore second baseman Jim Calla
way make up the infield list of re
turnees.
Players returning this year for
outfield positions are Sonny Sayo,
who led the 1954 nulldogs in batting
with a .341 record, Ronald Bradley,
Harry White and Duane Grice.
