DINWIDDIE SECOND
McManus Selected Most Valuable
Bulldogs Win Season Finale;
Gators Fall as Ensley Shines
Murphy McManus, scrappy little guard from Rosemont and
the Georgia Bulldogs, lias been selected as the Bulldogs’ most
coaches and sports writers conducted by the Red and Black.
Not since the era ot Zippy Mo
rocco has any Georgia player aver
aged as many as 20 points per game
until McManus rounded out his col
lege career with a total ot 4 83 points
In 24 games for an average of 20.1
to become the second Bulldog to
achieve this feat.
While at Young Harris Junior Col
lege, McManus was chosen All-State
Junior College forward for two sea
sons. During those two seasons he
tallied 1184 points, 692 each year.
In his second season bis 24.7 average
for 24 games ranked him fourth
among the nation's Junior college
scorers. Many coaches considered
him the outstanding junior college
player In the Southeast.
Last year, Ills first with the Bull
dogs, he led the Georgia scorers with
a 13.7 average for the season, but it
wasn't until this year that he really
lived up to his potential as a court
star. An amazing .761 average from
the foul line was one of the main
reasons for the sharp-shooting sen
ior’s success. He sank 169 of 222
free throws for the season and hit
16 for 15 in the Auburn game at
Woodruff Hall.
MURPHY Mr.VIA.MS
Mo§t Valuable Player
leading scorer for the 1955 edition of
valuable basketball player in a poll of
McManus had his peak perform
ances against Auburn in his two year
tenure as a Bulldog star. Last year
he scored 30 against the Plainsmen
and tallied 29 points against them on
two different occasions this season.
Runner-up to McManus In the
MVP poll was Morris Dlnwiddie, a
junior college transfer from Chipola
Junior College at Marianna, Florida
The diminutive Dinwiddle, who
stands only 5 feet 10 inches tall,
was a big man in the Bulldog attack
as he became the first non-senior to
average more than 16 points per
game for a Red and Black cage team.
He tallied 391 points in 25 games
for a 15.6 average.
Dinwiddie, who has a terrific de<
sire to win, had his greatest nights
against Tennessee and Mississippi
with 30 and 34 points. At one time
during the season he sank 20 con
secutive free throws to break an
SEC record which was held by Mc
Manus, who had hit 19 straight earl
ier in the year. Sixteen of Dinwiddle's
free throws came in the Mississippi
game.
A Campus-to-Career Case History
By Burt McBurney
The curtain fell on the last act of the season for Georgia’s basket
ball Bulldogs, and as far as Coach Harbin Lawson and his cage crew
are concerned, the last act was a great success.
Scoring was fairly evenly scattered
among the starting five. Behind Din
widdie and Ensley, Allen Parrish and
Murphy McManus scored 14 and 13
points respectively. Despite his com
paratively small showing for the en
counter, McManus rounded out 'his
final season with the Bulldogs with
a 20.1 average.
Bubba Potts, who with Ensley con
trolled the backboards, sank only
three points. Parrish, who sacked 14
in the first half, bucketed none in
the second.
Conquering Florida, to whom the
Bulldogs lost earlier in the season,
was all Georgia needed to make this
season’s run a good one, and fconquer
they did, 69-61. The star actors in
the finale were little Morris Dinwid
die and big Bill Ensley. Dinwiddie
played the part of high point man,
pouring in 21 markers for the vic
tors. Ensley played the hero, con
trolling the backboards with 16 re
bounds to his credit and netting a
pretty 18 points for the night.
Final Southeastern Conference re
cord for the 1955 Bulldogs is 7-7,
their best since 1946, when they fin
ished 6-6.
The Bulldogs set the stage for the
victory when they took the lead at
9-8 after four minutes of play, never
to disclaim it. The Georgians played
the Woodruff Hall production in typ
ical home game fashion—close all
the way. There was never a gap of
more than 10 points between the
teams.
McManus Wins Title
In Georgia Scoring
Murphy McManus, Georgia’s sharp
shooting guard, led the Bulldog cag-
ers' scoring parade for the second
consecutive season, as he pumped in
483 points for a lofty 20.1 average.
In his two years at Georgia, McMa
nus collected a total of 825 points,
an average of 16.8 per game. Runner-
up to McManus was Morris Dinwid
die, who finished with a 15.6 aver
age.

’52. “And my first management assign

job specs with him to be sure he had
things straight.

checked time sheets from previous day.
9:30—“Out to supervise installation of
the first aluminum Outdoor Telephone

to be delivered to the job.

complete ’quality inspection’ on a tele
phone we installed last week. Everything
checked O.K.

1:00—“Picked up film for next day’s
safety meeting. Watched the film, made

worked out schedule for construction
crews.
