THE FUTURE of Athletic Director Wallace Butts is
still veiled in a cloud of secrecy and speculation. Contra
dictory stories are flying 1 from all sides.
Butts and President 0. C. Aderhold are still deny
ing the whole thing, but the Atlanta newspapers are
huffing and puffing pretty loud and seem mighty sure
of their information.
One can’t help but wonder just what is
going on.
People are still wondering, in fact, just
what went on two years ago when a similar
situation arose and Butts resigned as head
football coach after 22 years to become
athletic director.
If Butts is really leaving, his retire
ment or resignation or whatever it is
might have been accomplished neatly
and quietly and with the proper accla
mation for years of loyal service, etc., if it were not
for an information leak and subsequent publicity last
week.
But the word is out, and 1 think the time has come for
the administration to clear the fog with a definite state
ment one way or the other. Their present policy of silence
is only hurting Georgia sports—and Coach Butts.
And Georgia owes Butts a lot.
He established the Georgia brand of football here—
a wide-open passing game which carried the Bulldogs
to eight bowl games, four SEC championships and a
140-86 9 record during his career.
“The Little Round Man” became head football coach in
1939. He lost four of his first five games that season, but
BUTTS
two years later he had the Bulldogs in the Orange Bowl.
Appearances followed in the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Oil
Bowl and Gator Bowl, and Butts was elected Coach of the
Year in the SEC in 1942, 1946 and 1959, when he won his
last conference championship.
Butts has a colorful past, but his future is what every
body is curious about. These rumors may just be a false
alarm, but some people think President Aderhold’s tight
lips say a lot.
PORTERFIELD CRASHES THROUGH IN SCRIMMAGE

In Football Scrimmage
Head Coach Johnny Griffith seemed well pleased with
his quarterback corps Saturday following a three-hour
sccrimmage in Sanford Stadium. Larry Rakestraw, Pres
ton Ridlehuber and Lynn II
out for special praise.
‘‘We gave all three of them a
basic game plan and let them
call their own plays throughout
scrimmage,” said Griffith. He
added, ‘‘I thought Larry had
perhaps his best day calling the
offense and Ridlehuber also did
a good Job in the same way.”
These comments came follow
ing an intrasquad game in
which Rakestraw's Red team
defeated a strong White team I
led by Ridlehuber. The final
score was 21-14.
The Reds got two o ftheir
touchdowns on tosses from
Rakestraw to end Mickey Babb.
The first toss covered 46 yards
and the second 28. Placement
specialist Bill McCullough kick
ed all extra points.
The Whites evened the score
at 14 all when Frank Lanke-
wicz bulled off tackle from
two yards out and Ridlehuber
ughes were the three singled
| passed to end Pat Hodgson for
a two point conversion effort.
The final talley for the Reds
came on a 25-yard scamper by
Doug McFalls.
P. E. Club Hears
Miss State Coach
Babe McCarthy, SEC-leading
Mississippi State's basketball
coach, spoke to the P. E. Club
Sunday night in Stegeman
Hall.
He told the organization that
he feels material, not coaching,
is responsible for winning col
lege games, and predicted that
Georgia would start winning
after a few years in the new
I Coliseum.
McCarthy was introduced by
! Bulldog Coach Red Lawson.
'Dogs Top Ole Miss,

Hut all ir not innovation in college fashions this spring. In
fact, one of the highlights of the season turns time backward in
its flight. I refer, of course, to the comeback of the powdered
wig.
This charming accoutrement, too long neglected, has already
caught on with in undergrads everywhere. On hundreds of
campuses the liossn nova is giving way to the minuet, and
patriotic u ■ rgraduates arc dumping British tea into the
nearest hai This, as you may imagine, does not sit well with
King George ill who. according to reliable re|s»rts, has been
stamping his foot and uttering curses not fit to reproduce in
this family newspaper. For that matter, a lot of our own |icople
are steamed up too, arid there has even Irccn some talk alrout the
American colonies declaring their independence of England.
But I hardly think it will come to that. I mean, how can we
break with the mother country when we are dependent on her
for so many things—linsey-woolsey, Mini6 balls, ta|ier snuffers,
and like that? She, on the other hand, relies on us for turkeys,
Marlboro Cigarettes, and Route 66. So I say, if Molly Pitcher
and those other RadclifTe hotheads will calm down, and if
gentlemen will cry “Peace! Peace!” we may yet find an
amicable solution to our differences. But let not our British
cousins mistake this willingness to negotiate for weakness. If
fight we must, then fight we will! Paul Revere is saddled up,
the rude bridge arches the flood, and the ROTC is armed i
But I digress. We were smoking Marlboro Cigarettes—O,
splendid cigarette! 0, good golden tobaccos! O, pristine pure
white filter! O, fresh! 0, tasty! O, soft pack! O, flip top box!
O, get some!—we were, I say, smoking Marlboros and talking
about spring fashions.
Let us turn now to the season’s most striking new feature-
pneumatic underdrawers. These inflatable garments make every
chair an easy chair. Think how welcome they will lie when you
sit through a long lecture! They are not, however, without
certain dangers. IJist week, for example, Rimbaud Sigafoos, a
sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh, fell out of a With
Btory window in the Tower of I.earning. Thanks to his pneu
matic underdrawers, he suffered no injury when he struck the
sidewalk, but the poor fellow is still bouncing—his seventh
consecutive day—and it is feared that he will starve to death.

The hounds of spring are on winter’s traces. Soon buds the
crocus, soon trills the giant condor, soon come the new spring
fashions to adorn our lissome limbs.
And wlmt will the American college student wear this spring?
Gather round, you rascals, and light a Marlboro Cigarette and
enjoy that fine mellow tobacco, that pure white filter, and
possess your souls in sweet content, and listen.
As everyone knows, campus fashions Imve always been casual.
This spring, however, they have gone beyond l>eing merely
casual: they Imve become makeahift.
The object is to look madly improvised, gaily spur-of-the-
moment! For example, why don’t you girls try wearing a
peasant skirt with a dinner jacket? Or matador pants with a
bridal veil? Or Bermuda shorts with bronze breastplates? Be
rakish! Be impromptu! Be devil-tako-the-hindmostI
And, men, you l>e the same. Try an opera cape with sweat
pants. Or a letter-sweater with kilts. Or a strait jacket with
nip boots. Be boldt Be daring! Be a tourist attraction!
