WINNING RECIPE
Golfers Eye SEC Crown
By RUSTY BOGGS
What’s cooking? Well, according to chef
Howell Hollis, one golf team is brewing hot on
the fire and there’s a mighty good chance of
the Georgia linksmen taking first place In the
SEC this season.
The recipe is simple: take this year’s co
captains, Charles (Boog) Layton and Jimmy
Gahrielson for a good base, add heavily the
talents of lettcrmen David Boyd, Billy Womack
and Jimmy Allen, and season with up-coming
sophomores.
Coach Hollis will be going after his ninth
SEC title since 1950. He has taken five of the
past six conference titles.
"They are two of the best golfers in Georgia
history." Coach Hollis says of his co-captains.
"In fact, they are two of the best amateurs in
the nation; so are our other three lettermen.”
The three lettermen that Coach Hollis refers
to are David Boyd, last year’s captain who won
the 1962 SEC individual crown and was pick
ed to the collegiate All-American team, senior
Billy Womack and junior Jimmy Allen.
The Bulldogs were second to Houston last
year in the Southern Inter-collegiate tourna
ment and placed fifth in the National College
Tournament .

AN ARTICLE in a recent issue of the Saturday Evening
Post made me stop and wonder.
The article was entitled “THE BASKETBALL MESS . . .
Twin Scandals: Dumping and Recruiting.” It explored the re
cent cases of gamblers "fixing” games and bluntly stated,
"Colleges have not changed their ways appreciably since 1946,
when fixing started to hit the courts.”
The article also exposed the zealous and sometimes under
handed methods of recruiters who "offered everything, even
cash.”
College sports are big business with big money tied up
in them . . . and big money breeds corruption.
Men's jobs and their very futures bang in the balance
if their teams don't satisfy the whims of alumni.
I got to wondering whether college sports were perhaps over
emphasized and their importance to higher education inflated
out of proportion.

Look around you right here at Alma Mater:
The University spends a gargantuan sum annually for
maintenance of the athletic department.
Most Georgians are more concerned about what is happening
to Wally Butts than to DeGaulle or Diefenbaker.
People have been raising all kinds of hell about Johnny
Griffith and Red Lawson not winning. And they vehemently
condemn President <). C. Aderliold, who is supposed to be
nn educator—not an athletic director, for his role in G«-or-
gia sports.
Is it all worth it? Makes you wonder—just like I did when
I started pondering that Post article.

But let’s stop and consider a few more points.
Colorful athletic events are the one thing which unifies a
student body as large and diverse as ours.
A strong team is an excellent public relations device for the
school.
Athletic teams keep the institution in much closer contact
with their supporters, the alumni, who are the Institution’s
real srength.
Winning teams help instill in students and alumni alike a
pride in the school which is essential to real growth and pro
gress.
And so I would like to |M>int out to those who think we
should invest the athletic budget in labs, classrooms or
teachers' salaries, that intercollegiate sports are definite
ly essential to a University such as ours.
Perhaps we should take another look and clean up the evils
which bring our athletic programs under attack, but the re
moval of sports from higher education would be a catastrophe.

Flashy Lee Martin of Perry led the Bullpups to an 86-75
victory over Tech's Baby Yellow .Tuckets in Georgia’s last
freshman game of the season Saturday in Atlanta.
An outstanding team effort
gave Coach Gene DeTullio the
final victory of his first year at
the helm of the freshman
squad in what he termed a
"must” game.
Things looked bad most of
the way for Georgia, and espe
cially when big center stnr
Waymond Henry fouled out
with 15:42 left in the second
period. The 'Pups seemed
doomed here but Ronnie Harri
son and Andy Turk came off
the bench to aid their handicap
ped teammates.
Harrison scored to start the
Rullpup rally and from then on
Martin poured them in from
everywhere on the court.
Martin's 22 points were high
for both teams. He was backed
up by Larry Wescott and Gary
