Girls Win, 54 ■ 45
Turner Stars As Eagles
Bounce 61-41
By ROGER DIX
“He was great. It was an all
State performance.”
Those are just a few of the
kind words Coach Chris Jones
had for Richard Turner Friday
night after watching the leaping
forward led Griffin to a 61-41
victory over the Milner Falcons.
“We didn’t ask Richard to sc
ore. All we asked him to do was
keep York (Bobby) from scor
lng.”
Turner carried out his assign
ment with perfection.
At the same time, Richard SC
ored 21 points and was among
the game’s top rebounders.
“Did you see the way he re
bounded and stole the ball. It
was just an all-state perform
ance, that’s all,” Coach Jones
said.
Turner’s great individual per
formance came after the Grif
fin girls outscored Milner 54-45.
Martha Dawn was the key
performer for the Griffin girls.
The young sophomore scored
26 points, 16 of them in the first
half.
While the Milner guards con
centrated on stopping Sherry To
len and Louise Bell, Dawn was
knocking the bottom out of the
basket.
Her 16 points in the first half
was as many as the entire Mil
ner forward corps scored togeth
er.
The Eagles ran a man-to-man
defense against the Falcons and
Turner drew the tough assign
ment of guarding York, Milner’s
fabulous sophomore forward.
Statistics show the terrific Job
Turner did on York, who Coach
Jones says is the finest sopho
more he’s ever seen.
York scored only four points
in the first half and four in the
second.
In addition to the terrific de
fensive job, Turner held the hot
hand on offense.
It was Turner who kept the
Eagles a few points ahead in
the first half when the game was
nip and tuck.
The score was tied 12-12 after
one period and Griffin was ahead
by three, 22-19 at halftime.
Milner pulled within one
point of tying the score early in
the third.
Larry Webb, who was held to
two points in the first half, scor
ed a pair of field goals to give
Griffin a four point lead. Frank
Hinson hit a driving layup and
Griffin had a six point lead.
Turner then stepped in with
six straight points and Milner
found itself behind by 12 points,
37-25.

Griffin began feeding the ball to
Webb and the big center stuf
fed on 18 points in the second
half.
Jimmy Cook did a fin e defen
sive job on Webb in the firs|
half, allowing him only two
points. The second half was a
different story. Webb made 18.
Turner was the game’s high
scorer with 21. Webb had 20, Fr
ank Hinson 14, Randy Waller
six and Tommy Lynch two. Lyn
ch’s two points are no indica
tion of the fine job he did.
The quick, little guard tor
mented Milner into many floor
errors.
Cary Parker was high scorer
for the Falcons with 12. Cook,
York and Danny Cain made
eight and Terry Ogletree five.
GIRLS GAME
Coach Joe Bell of Milner play
ed the odds in the girls game.
He decided to use his guards ag
ainst Tolen and Bell (his daugh
ter) and let Martha Dawn roam
free as long as she wasn’t near
the basket.
But the young sophomore took
advantage of the openings and
hit 26 big points to led Griffin to
its second straight victory over
the Milner lassies.
Sixteen of her points came in
the first half and gave Griffin a
28-16 lead.
Milner outscored Griffin 29-26
in the second half but couldn’t
make up the 12 point halftime
decifit.
Tolen finished with 17 points
and Bell had 11 for Griffin.
Reggie O’Neal scored 17 for
Milner. Diane Bryan had 19 and
Romona Edwards seven.
Brooksie Huddleston, Pat Gro
gan, Teresa Mills and Nancy
Hooper defensed the Milner for
wards.
Pam McCullough, Donna Po
well and Bobbie Mann handled
Milner’s guard positions.
The two games were played
before a capacity crowd at the
Griffin Field House. The enthus
iasm was so great that at one
point officials had to ask the
crowd to calm down some so the
players could hear the whistle.
The crowd, which included
many Milner fans, quited down
for about two seconds then re
sumed its yelling and scream
ing.
After the game Coach Bell
and Coach Jones had fine words
for their opponents.
Coach Bell said Griffin had a
great running game and “they’re
hard to keep up with.”
Coach Jones said Milner did a
terrific job in the first half and
called York “the finest sopho
more I’ve ever seen.”

Battleground Switches
Back To Milwaukee
By DAVID M. MOFF1T
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI)—-The battle
ground In the fight over the
Braves moving to Atlanta
switches back to Milwaukee
Monday after a three-day skir
mish here.
William C. Bartholomay, the
Braves’ board chairman, was
in the witness chair the entire
three days as attorneys from
Wisconsin took depositions seek
ing to prove that the Braves
were in violation of anti-trust
when they moved here from
Milwaukee.
Monday, the attorneys go into
Milwaukee County Circuit Court
where the state and county
seeks an injunction ordering the
Braves to play their 1966 home
games no where but Milwaukee.
The Braves are already under
an injunction from a Georgia
court ordering them to abide by
the terms of their lease for the
use of Atlanta Stadium.
“If they get their injunction
in Milwaukee, they would make
the legal score 1-1,” said a
Braves’ spokesman. “We plan
to abide by the law—and open
our 1966 season in Atlanta.”
Friday, during cross-examina
tion, attorney Willard S. Staf-
Jim Carlen Named

ford accused Bartholomay of
“gross deceit” and “a complete
double cross” in dealing with
Milwaukee prior to the time the
Braves announced in October
1964 that they were moving to
Atlanta.
Bartholomay, who said Thurs
day that the Braves i»"ffered
(for tax purposes) losses
amounting to $1.5 million for
1963 and 1964, the fir=t two
years his group owned the
team, admitted Friday that
thqjje was a cash profit for
those two years totaling $81,000.
However, it was repeated that
the cash loss for 1965 is expect
ed to be “substantially in ex
cess of $700,000.”
It was Stafford’s apparent
contention that the Braves did
not deal with Milwaukee in good
faith, that they were planning
to move during a period of 1964
when they insisted they were
staying in Milwaukee.
He tried, without success, to
get Bartholomay to admit that
the Braves told Atlanta officials
in March 1964, seven months
before the moving plans were
announced, that Atlanta would
be first choice if the Braves
decided to move.
Bobby Dodd says the days of
the lumbering “strongman”
football players are over at
WVU.
And after being Gene Cor
um’s successor for less than an
hour Friday he had tuned in
every football ear in the
Southern Conference.
