University officials in general, but President O. C. Aderhold
in particular handles facts much more capably than they, which
is to say he, handles conjecture. In fact, I was downright proud
of him Saturday afternoon.
After days, even weeks, of guessing — rather accurate, I'
might add—on the part of Atlanta writers of athletics about
the status, present and future, of Georgia ahletic director Wal
lace Butts; and after days, even weeks, of news management
that would shame Washington's Kennedy brains on the part of
the University's executive department about the same status,
Dr. Aderhold came through Saturday. He performed like a true
champion.

Gators Invade Woodruff
For Hall’s Final Game
One of Georgia’s most distinguished, colorful, and use
ful careers comes to an end Saturday night. There will be
cheers, however, instead of tears.
Because the career ending is
that of outdated Woodruff
Hall, the University’s basket
ball emporium for many, many
years, the cheers will be. Sat
urday’s game between the Bull
dogs and the University of
Florida will be the final inter
collegiate basketball gams to
be played Inside the unsteady

teams Saturday will be on
the rebound.
The Gators will depend upon
Taylor Stokes and Brooks Hen
derson mainly, their leaders
throughout the year; Georgia
will play Its hand with Billy

Jimmy Pitts and crew lending
aid.

according to Hoyle: he submitted his
resignation to the president's office,
the president accepted it and gra
ciously praised the molder supreme
of Georgia’s football fortunes for his
contributions to the University.
You would think Dr. Ader
hold was an old hand at this
sort of thing the way lie bandied
it Saturday. The events of the
proceeding weeks, though,
proved he definitely isn’t-
Of course the president said all
along that nothing, no action of any
kind, had been taken on Coach
Butts, or that Coach Butts had, in
deed, submitted his resignation, even.
This, apparently, was true.
Coach Butts’ future, in or out of Georgia athletics, was dis
cussed at that Jan. 28 athletic board meeting that caused all
the rumors. But no "action” as such was taken about his
status.
Dr. Aderhold could have saved the Univesrity much adverse
comment or criticism by making this clear.
Now maybe then- were extenuating circumstances, nnd
then-fore reasons for the non-comniunirative attitudes of
the powers-t I la t-be in University of Georgia athletics.
If so. It should have been explaim-d that the situation re
quired silence and let It go at that. But to say that the
situation wasn't discussed furthered no worthy purjtose.
Saturday, though, it all came into the open: Coach Butts
had not resigned, but he did so then. Strangely, no sinister,
mysterious reasons were unearthed that would merit all the
mumness that has prevailed. Coach Butts said business Interests
caused his retirement. That’s all.

Jordan Tale
Joe Jordan was five feet and
eight inches of heart. He was
Georgia’s most colorful basket
ball player, and he played him
self to death.
Jordan played in the days be
fore Georgia’s basketball desti
tution, and he won basketball
games for his alma mater until
he died. The year was 1950-51.
Jordan's fame did not die
with him in the fall of 1951.
The Indiana farm boy left his
indelible mark on University of
Georgia athletics and Bulldog
basketball.
It Is in his honor that Lamb
da Chi Alpha, his fraternity
here, annually awards the Joe
Jordan Memorial Trophy to the
outstanding Georgia basketball
player of the season. Perry
Gentry, Nu Zeta chapter presi
dent, will commemorate Jordan
again Saturday night at half
time of the Georgia-Florlda
game in Woodruff Hall. The
winner’s name has not been re
leased.
But then Saturday, when Coach Butts hud resigned,
President Aderhold handled it perfectly. He released the
news, without the siigliest effort to cloud things. Coach
Butts lias contributed much to Georgia football, he said,
and the University Is grateful.
It was from this handling that my proudness stemmed. When
the facts were brought forth, cold and hard, Dr. Aderhold was
there with his note of thanks. There was nothing to cover up.
He was magnificent.
Jordan died of cancer, the
gnawing kind that works slow
ly and painfully. Yet none but
his doctors and his closest
friends realized the gravity of
his malady, and even Jordan
himself couldn’t bring himself
to realize it.
He epitomized the cllched
“old college try.”

What is it?
Glad you asked.
It’s a Volkswogen Station Wagon.
Don't pity the poor thing; it con take it.
It can carry nearly a ton of anything you can
afford to buy.
Or 8 people (plus luggage) if you want to get
practical about it.
And there's more than one practical consid
eration.
It will take you about 24 miles on a gallon
of regulor gas.
It won't take any water or anti-freeze at all;
the engine is air-cooled.
And even though it carries almost twice as much
as regulor wagons, it takes 4 feet less to park.
What's in the package?
8 pairs of skis, the complete works of Dickens,
98 lbs. of frozen spinach, a hutch used by Grover
Cleveland, 80 Hollywood High gym sweaters, a
suit of armor, and o full-sized reproduction of
the Winged Victory of Somothroce.
