Versatility Makes
That picture on the front of the 1963 University of Georgia
track brochure tells the story of the current spring fairly well.
Elmer Davis is clearing a high hurdle in that photo, and in
the cutline the Cairo senior's exploits previous to this season
are enumerated.

you are supposed to do better is the SEC. We are hoping to.

There were many of those exploits, too. He added to the
list during the season currently dying w’hile captaining one
of Coach Spec Towns’ better and most win
ning congregations in several years.
Davis is a dual-meet performer of ex
treme import, but Friday and Saturday his
versatility will take a back seat to some
other Bulldogs. The three-year letterman
almost always scores 20 points or better in
two-way meets. His differing talents,
though, must play more inferior roles in
the big ones, like this weekend’s Southeast
ern Conference meet in Birmingham, Ala.
"Davis is one of the most versatile
athletes I have coached," his teacher,
Spec Towns, has praised. “He does
just about anything you could want a track man to do,
and lie does them all well. But he Isn't a star at any of
them."
Most Of Towns’ Georgia Men Are Cheeklisted
In the SEC, only the stars win, and as the stars go, so go
the team standings. And you never can tell, Georgia may come
up with some stars this year.
“We’re sending 13 men over.” It was Towns appraising his
team’s chances. "All hut two are on the SEC checklist. If our
men live up to my expectations, we have a good possibility of
scoring points.”
That same checklist says Georgia will finish fifth, based on
previous actions by the Bulldogs. What does Coach Towns think
of that prognostication?
. “Well, our boys are capable of finishing fifth. I just hope
Dutton Holds Tin* Record, But He Doesn't
If anybody from Athens sets a new record in the big meet,
more than likely it will be Martin Dutton, a senior pole vaulter
who already has jumped higher than any other Southeastern
Conference participant until this year. His 14-7 vault In the
Florida Belays fractured the old record (14-4hj), but the old
record still exists.
Only In the SEC meet does a track and field participant’s
performance count on tlie record hooks, so Dutton would have
to do it again this weekend in order to bo recognized.

Towns thinks he might vault up uml bo counted. "Martin
lias a very good chance of setting a new record," Towns
analyzed. “He lias been going higher with each meet.
“Many of our other boys have been Improving. Their per
formances in the last few meets have been just great.”
The Bulldogs closed their regular season schedule with lop
sided dual meet victories over Georgia Tech in Atlanta and
Vanderbilt here. Also on the two-team trials this season was
a loss by only 11 points to Wilbur Hutsell’s muchly-powered
Auburn.
The stars will fall on Alabama this weekend, and Georgia
may have some of them, Elmer Davis variety or otherwise.
Poss Holds Annual Fete
Bob Poss, one of the more
enthusiastic of University of
Georgia athletic boosters, pre
sents his annual spring foot
ball spectacular tonight at 6.
The Bulldog Captains’ Ban
quet is to be held at Poss’
home this year. Its purpose,
as its name implies, Is to elect
Georgia's on-the-field leaders
for the coming year.
In contrast to this pre-season
program, next Wednesday even
ing at 6 the Bulldog baseball
team will be honored with Its
own barbecue. The ceremonies
are scheduled for Bulldog sup
porter Carter Daniels’ home.

Baseball Year Ends
With FSU Weekend

Baseball at the University of Georgia fades out this
Friday and Saturday, hut it does it the hard wav—with
a brace of games against Danny Litwiler s Florida State.
The Seminoles come to Ath-
The entirety of Georgia's, as well as that of 11 other
Southeastern Conference schools, truck season will he
wrapped up in two days—Friday and Saturday, the week
end on the horizon.
Thnt’s the time of the yearly
SEC meet, this spring sched
uled for Birmingham, Ala. A
whole season’s preparation pays
off then, ns the conference’s
best compete for themselves
and their schools.
Georgia should finish higher
than seven other league insti
tutions, say those who know
how to judge such things. One
of the University's better teams
won twice and lost one time
this season; also it placed high
in both the Florida Ueinys and
the Carolina Belays.
Coach Spec Towns' men
at tlie SEC are pushing an
attempt to do better than
lust year's, when Georgia
finished seventh. The s|MWk-
led veteran thinks his run
ners have a chance to do It.
"We are sending some very
good boys," he said. "Eleven of
our 13 representatives have
been recognized by the confer
ence witli its checklist; only
Cleve Ferguson and Frank Ful-
ford have not been.
"Our relay teams should per
form well, too," Towns con-
ens with much of their pre-
season lustre abraded from
them. Before the now-dissipat
ed season began, I.ltwller’s
crew was rated with the best
of them, right up there in the
top 10.
That wasn't to last, how
ever. It opened Impressively
