Tech Practice

Coach Unhappy
ATLANTA (UPI) — Georgia,
Tech football players practiced
in full pads for the first time
this season Tuesday and coach
Bud Carson was unhappy.
“It seemed everything caught
up with us. It certainly wasn’t
a good practice. Most of the
players are sore and a couple of
steps slow,” sighed Carson.
Two players received good
marks.
“Bubba Hoats is fast and a
sure tackler... Randy Duckworth
is strong and has Improved
tremendously,” Carson said.
“They’ll both play a lot of foot
ball for us.”
Hoats, 5-foot-9, 175 pounds,
from West Point, Ga., is now a
second team defensive safety.
Duckworth is a sophomore from
Marietta on the second team
as defensive tackle.
Bauer’s feat
OAKLAND, Calif. (UPI) -
Hank Bauer, manager of the
Oakland Athletics, tied a ma

he hit four home runs in the
World Series as a member of
the New York Yankees.

Bryant ‘Rebuilding’
After 8-2 Season
Only Three
Americans Left
In Tennis Open
By STEVE SNIDER
UPI Sports Writer
FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (UPI)
—Only three Americans are left
among the last nine men in the
$137,000 U.S. Open singles
tennis championship.
Defending champion Arthur
Ashe of Gum Spring, Va., Earl
Buchholz of St. Louis and 41-
year-old Pancho Gonzalez of
Malibu, Calif., are still alive
but so are six Australians.
Furthermore, five of those
Aussie pros already have
reached the quarter-finals or
last eight and Ashe was
matched on the center court
today against one who has
beaten him both times they met
—34-year-old Ken Rosewall. The
winner goes into the semi
finals.
Rod Laver of Australia, hot
after his second grand slam,
playes a quarter-final against
Aussie Roy Emerson, the man
he beat in the 1962 finale as he
completed his sweep of the
Australia, French, Wimbledon
and U.S. crowns as an amateur
that year.
In Tuesday’s rain-delayed
program, Buchholz won a five
setter from Andres Gimeno of
Spain, Australia’s Fred Stolle
won In four from Roger Taylor
of England and John New
combe of Australia tied up the
center court for five hours, 45
minutes before downing Marty
Riessen of Evanston, Hl., in a
record four-setter.
The gals go for berths In the
final round today with Rosema
ry Casals of San Francisco in
one semi against Nancy Richey
of San Angelo, Tex., and
defending champion Virginia
Wade of Great Britain against
Margaret Smith Court of
Australia In the other.
Miss Smith won the title In
1962 and 1965 and Miss Richey
was a finalist In 1966, the last
time she played here.

UPI Sports Writer
STARKVILLE, Miss. (UPI) —
Over at Alabama, Bear Bryant
is "rebuilding” because his
team went 8-2 last season. Here
at Mississippi State, the players
are hoping that, with a little
luck, they might go 5-5.
Os course, you’ve got to
realize that despite impressive
showings against the likes of
Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss.
Mississippi State didn’t win a
single game last fall.
Charley Shira, 1-17-2 after two
seasons as head coach here,
was asked how it felt to be a
continuous loser after being as
sociated with success for many
years as a chief assistant at the
University of Texas.
Look-Back Tendency
"After being used to winning
and then start getting your rear
end kicked, you have a ten
dency to look .back,” Shira told
the “Skywriters,” a visiting
group of sportswriters making a
tour of the Southeastern Confer
ence teams.”
“But that doesn’t help,” he
added. “However, the record
has made me realize I’m not
as good a coach as I thought
I was. You have to have the
players.
“My coaches really drive
themselves,” Shira continued.
"We had some dark days,
especially in the first few
games in ’6B; and we had some

soul searching too.”
Under Shira, Mississippi State
upset Texas Tech, 7-3, In the
third game of the 1967 season—
and hasn’t won since.
State finished 1-9-0 in ’67 and
then was 0-8-2 last year with a
mid-season tie with Texas Tech
and a closing tie with arch
rival Ole Miss the only “bright
spots.”
Tying Beats Losing
"Tying Ole Miss was better
than losing, but it sure wasn’t
as good as winning,” said
Shira's quarterback Tommy
Pharr. Pharr, a stumpy, 5-foot
9, 190-pound genius with the op
tion, Is State’s best hope for
getting into the win column this
year.
“You wouldn’t believe the
change in attitude here this
year,” Pharr said. “Winning
has become the most important
thing to us seniors. After all,
we could win them all this year
and we still wouldn’t .be up to
.500 for our careers here.”
A number of players men
tioned their desire to win five
games, but Shira himself re
fused to be even that optimis
tic. Said Shira, “I wish one had
said 10-0. But its difficult to
figure out wins; you have to
have some luck in there too.”
“We’re going to be better of
fensively, but awfully green on
defense where it looks like sev
en sophomores may start,”
Shira said.
