“B” team,” Coach Ison said.
Coaches Ison and Goss aren’t
just sold on a few boys. They are
high on the entire team.
“We’ve been real surprised.
The boys have come along
much faster than expected.
They were simply great yes
terday,” the coaches said.
Griffin was expecting trouble
from Morrow. It never came.
The Baby Eagles kicked off
and kept the Morrow lads
bottled up. Morrow was forced
to punt from deep in its terri
tory. The snap sailed over the
punter’s head and he was
tackled in the end zone for a
safety.
After an exchange of punts,
Griffin drove to the Morrow 25
where Chuck Joiner raced over
on a reverse play.
“It was a perfect play,”
Coach Ison said. “The blocking
was real good. They (Morrow)
didn’t know where the ball was.
Jeff Mattox blocked the end out
and Joiner breezed in un
touched.”
Griffin led 8-0 at halftime.
The young Eagles drove to the
Morrow one in the third quarter
where Greg Crawford sneaked
over. Chuck Joiner, Lee
Braddock, Ronnie Edge and
Tony Head picked up most of
the yardage on the long TD
drive.
George Peurifoy kicked the
extra point.
Crawford threw a 25 yard
touchdown pass to Jepp Childs
in the fourth quarter. Childs
made a great catch. Peurifoy
added the PAT and Griffin led,
22-0.
Morrow scored late in the
fourth on a halfback pass. They
went for two points and missed.
“You’ve heard the saying ‘lt’s
what’s up front that counts’,”
Coach Goss said. “Well, our
line, offense and defense,
played great.”
“I can’t say enough about our
defense,” Coach Ison said. "It
was great.”
Players singled out for
special praise were:
Ends, Jepp Childs, Cole
Cartledge, Tommy Lenhart,
Steve Murphy and Gary Head.
Tackles, Billy Taylor, Terry
Brannon, Randy Crosby.
Guards, Jeff Mattox, Wesley

Going With
Dudish Again
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
. ATI ANTA (UPI)-Young and
eager Georgia Tech, still float
ing on Cloud 9 after last week’s
upset of SMU, holds the favor
ite’s role for Saturday’s game
with Baylor—a role the Yellow
Jackets are not likely to have
very often in this fall’s tough
schedule.
While Tech was coming from
behind in the closing minutes
last week to nip SMU 24-21,
Baylor, playing its first game
for coach Bill Beall, was slug-„
gish in a 48-15 loss to Kansas
State.
Beall, a former IJSU assis
tant, complained about lack of
speed and bemoaned that speed
appears to be Tech’s chief
asset—especially on defense.
Tech coach Bud Carson ex
pects to go with the same
sophomore-laden units that beat
SMU, with the exception of 1
scatback Brent Cunningham
who will be out for a couple of
weeks with a shoulder injury.
Dudish Again
This means that Charles Dud
ish will start again at quarter
back and if his play is anything
like last week’s the expected
crowd of 40,000-45,000 will alter
nate somewhere between ecsta
sy and despair.
After having his ups and
downs all afternoon, Dudish be
came an instant hero by recov
ering his own fumble and scor
ing the winning touchdown with
2:43 left to play.
With Cunningham out, senior
Gene Spiotta will be at tailback
and Steve Harkey, who was
given the ball only once in the
SMU game, at fullback.
If Dudish does much throwing
(he was six for nine last week
with four of those completions
coming in the closing minutes),
Baylor should watch tight ends
Steve Foster and Steve Norris.
Foster, a 235-pounder, carried
three and four Mustangs for ex
tra yardage after both of his
receptions last week.
Stuart for Bears
Beall, still fumbling for an
offense, plans to start junior
Steve Stuart at quarterback. So
far as Baylor is concerned, the
two best Bears are 235-pound
defensive tackle Dick Stevens
and 230-pound center Calvin
Hunt. If these two are as good
as advertised, there should be
some holes for Baylor runners.
Tech and Baylor have met
only once previously. That was
in the 1952 Orange Bowl when
Tech, after a 10-0-1 season,
edged the Bears 17-14.
Georgia Tech, 4-6 in each of
Carson’s first two seasons, is
now expected to get off to a 3-0
start this fall by adding Baylor
and Clemson (next week) to its
short list of victims.

Rams Expect
Trouble
From Falcons
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Ro
man Gabriel, who was sensa
tional in the Los Angeles opener
against Baltimore, guides the
Rams against the Atlanta Fal
cons Sunday in a National Foot
ball League game that will de
cide first place in the Coastal
Division.
Gabriel threw three touch
down passes as the Rams beat
the Colts 27-0 last weekend
while the Falcons upset San
Francisco 24-12.
Although Los Angeles holds a
5-0 record against the expansion
club, the Falcons never have
been easy for the Rams. Los
Angeles won by 27-14 and 17-10
scores last season.
Coach George Allen may be
without running back Les
Josephson, who suffered a rib
injury in the club’s opener.
Josephson was a starter against
Baltimore.

Frank Howard
Counting 'Dogs
In His Sleep
CLEMSON, S. C. (UPI)_
Clemson Coach Frank Howard
grumbles that he’s been count
ing Bulldogs in his sleep and
“some of ’em look pretty mean,
too.”
Howard gets to see the Bull
dogs in person Saturday when
seventh-ranked Georgia comes
to town a two-touchdown favor
ite.
“We reminded the boys that
we’ve got to raise our sights
this weekend,” said Howard, an
advocate of the understatement.
Howard, now in his 30th year
as head Clemson coach, last
saw his team whip Georgia in
1962, although they tied 7-7 in
1963.
Both teams are heavily filled
out with sophomores, and the
newcomers did themselves
proud for both colleges last
week. Clemson scout Tom Bass
says Vince Dooley’s team looks
“better than last season’s.”
He had special praise for
Dennis Hughes, who played
halfback and split end last
wed? in Georgia’s 35-0 romp
over Tulane, for fullback Bruce
Kemp and the quarterback
flanker combination of Mike Ca
van and Charles Whittemore.
Clemson is counting on soph
omore Tommy Kendrick of
Stone Mountain, Ga. who won
the quarterback assignment by
tossing three touchdown passes
in Clemson’s opening 21-14 vic
tory over Atlantic Coast Confer
ence rival Virginia.
Much of Clemson’s inexperi
ence is in its defensive team,
but sophomore tackle Waldo
Watts and defensive back Dale
Henry both played a standout
game Saturday. Watts dropped
the Cavalier quarterback three
times for losses and was credit
ed with eight tackles and two
assists.
Georgia found defense one of
its strongest points in blanking
Tulane, and linebacker Steve
Greer was credited with 11
tackles and eight assists. He
was voted United Press Inter
national’s Southeastern Confer
ence defensive player of the
week.
Despite a lopsided margin of
victories for Georgia, Clemson
has traditionally played Georgia
a tough game on its home field.
