John Miller
leads classic
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI)-John Mil
ler sure is glad he didn’t yield
to his impulse and take a
vacation from the professional
golf tour.
But the 24-year-old Califor
nian, who went into today’s
second round of the 1125,000
Atlanta Golf Classic with a two
stroke lead over four runner
ups, including favorite Jack
Nicklaus, came mighty close to
not playing here.
“Everything I had done since
the Masters (where he tied
Nicklaus for second eight weeks
ago) had gone opposite to what
I had planned,” the lanky,
blond Miller complained. “I
was really getting discouraged.
I figured it was time to go
home and take a rest.”

Dear Sir:
1 have learned by radio and printed quotations in the News attributed by Mr. John Carlisle
that the Experiment Station would grow and if the animal science lands are sold for a junior
college that all the funds would be earmarked for use at this Station; Mr. Carlisle stated in
your paper that he has assurances of this.
A letter was run in your paper from the Chancellor did not give any assurances whatever
that the funds from land sales would be earmarked for the local Station.
1 regret that the Station had to be drawn into the issue. However, since Mr. Carlisle has
drawn the Station into discussions, I feel that I must give a report to the people that as a
result of conferences with high authorities that I have a difference of opinion entirely.
Last week, I along with other Farm Bureau members visited Dr. William Flatt who is the
director of all experiment stations in Georgia at his office at the University of Georgia in
Athens.
Specific questions were asked that if the lands involved are sold, would all the monies
generated be used at this station and more especially if additional lands would be purchased
and to construct required buildings to restore the Animal Science Department As you know
if the proposed lands are sold that the entire facilities from Animal Science Department
would be destroyed.
Dr. Flatt stated that he could not give us this assurance at all. Rather he stated that the
money would be used at all of the Experiment Stations for the greatest utilization. He did
indicate that there was a need to update laboratories at the local Station, but not once did he
imply that Animal Science would be reestablished.
Dr. Flatt further stated that at Tifton and Athens there are superior facilities for animal
science research. He gave the impression that animal science research would probably be
removed from Griffin, but that the head of the department would likely remain here to do
laboratory research.
A Resolution has been adopted by the Spalding County Farm Bureau asking that all funds be
used to reestablish Animal Science. It will be interesting to see if we receive a reply
favorably.
Many believe that the Animal Science Department as it to today will be gone if present lands
are sold for a Junior College.
Sincerely,
P. W. Hamil

Miller did tie for 10th at
Houston but was way down in a
tie for 59th a couple of other
times and even missed the cut
twice in the past month.
That he didn’t quit for awhile
was due in part to the fact that
he had his clubs adjusted and
wanted to try them out
Only one stroke under par
after eight holes Thursday,
Miller came to life on the ninth
hole when he chipped in from
40 yards to the right of the
green for an eagle-three. Five
birdies and a three-putt bogey
over tye final nine gave him his
65.
“When I missed the green
that far to the right (only the
hole where he made his eagle),
I figured it just wasn’t my
day,” said Miller. “But, when I
sank that 40-yarder, it turned
everything around.”
Nicklaus, using the classic to
tune up for the U.S. Open two
weeks from now, had a 5-under
par 67 Thursday to tie for
second place with former U.S.
Open champion Orville Moody,
former PGA champ Ray Floyd
and Dave Eichelberger.
Nicklaus needed only a five
foot putt on the final hole for a
66 that would have given him
second alone but he lipped the
cup. At that, his 67 was the
best round he’s ever shot in the
classic.
Nicklaus hadn't played since
winning the Byron Nelson golf
classic four weeks ago.
Lee Trevino, winner last
week at Memphis, who needs
the |25,000 first prize in this
tournament to evict Nicklaus as
this year’s leading money
winner, headed a list of seven
68 shooters. The others were
Bob Barbarossa, Jim Colbert,
Rod Curl, Jim Dent, Gardner
Dickinson and Bob Lunn.
There were eight golfers at 69
including South African Gary
Player and Masters champion
Charles Coody.
Holtzman
pitches
no-hitter
CINCINNATI (UPI) - Left
hander Ken Holtzman of the
Chicago Cubs pitched the first
no-hitter of the 1971 season
Thursday night and at the same
time became the first pitcher in
Cub history to throw two in a
career.
The 25-year-old lefty was
rewarded with a standing
ovation by the 23,111 fans at
Riverfront Stadium here and an
instant $1,500 pay raise from
General Manager John Holland.
Using almost nothing but
fastballs, Holtzman swept
through the faltering Cincinnati
Reds 1-0 with only 108 pitchers
and hardly a scare. He served
up four walks and six
strikeouts.
His first no-hitter was on
Aug. 19, 1969 against the
Atlanta Braves in Chicago.
“I wasn’t as nervous this
time," said Holtzman. “You
have to have a lot of luck to
pitch a no-hitter. Even when
there aren’t any tough players.
I got the breaks tonight.
“I went almost exclusively
with my fast ball the last five
innings,” he added. “I think I
threw only about two curves
during that span.”
Holtzman, remembering his
other no-hitter, said he believed

ATLANTA—Lanky John Miller, 24, from Napa, Calif.,
grimaces as he putts the ninth hole for a birdie during play
here. The eratic golf pro who has occasional moments of
brilliance, shot a seven-under-par 65 to take the early first
round lead in the $125,000 Atlanta Golf Classic. (UPI)

He said that first time second

nervous “that he barely threw
out Hank Aaron to end the
game.”
A fine play this time by
Beckert helped preserve the no
hitter when the Reds’ Tony
Perez bounced a seventh inning
ground ball just to the right of
second base.

Jarvis finally
wins Ist game
By JACK WILKINSON
ATLANTA (UPI)-The law of
averages finally caught up with
Pat Jarvis.
The hard-throwing little right
hander, demoted to the bullpen
after he was unable to win as
a starter, broke a personal 11-
game losing streak, including
seven losses this season, as he
pitched 5 2-3 innings of score
less relief Thursday night to
help Die Atlanta Braves stop
die Houston Astros 5-2.
Hank Aaron, resting his swol
len knee, slammed a pinch-hit,
bases loaded double in the
fourth inning to provide the win
ning margin. Jarvis did the rest
until he ran out of gas in the
sixth and went out for a pinch
hitter.
“Finally,” he sighed as he
sat, bone tired and chalky faced
after his first victory of the
season. “It sure was a long
time coming. I didn’t realize,
though, that I had lost 11 in a
row.”
Ironically, Jarvis, who was 16-
16 in 1970, won his last game
on Sept. 12 against these same
Astros and against the same
pitcher, young Ken Forsch.

Forsch contributed to his
own downfall by throwing wild
pitches on consecutive throws in
the second inning which allowed
Hal King to score the tying
run.
“I didn’t expect to pitch,”
said Jarvis, who had pulled a
muscle in his side while pitching
to one man in the opener of
the Houston series Tuesday
night. “I worked all day, un
loaded 700 bricks at home for
the wall I’m building. Then, I
came out here and ran with the
team.
“But, at 10 ’til 8, I was told
that Jim Nash (the starting
pitcher) had a sore throat and
fever and to warm up and be
ready to go in if necessary.”
It became necessary sooner
than anyone expected. Houston
jumped on Nash for two runs
in the first inning, with the help
of two Atlanta errors and Bob

Watson’s single. That brought in
Jarvis and suddenly it became
his game when Forach’s wild
ness enabled the Braves to tie
it up at 2 all in the second.
Aaron’s double put Jarvis
ahead and the BraVes got him
another in the sixth when relief
pitcher Denny Lemaster un
corked Die third Houston wild
pitch of the game, scoring Felix
Millan.
Bob Priddy moved up and got
credit for his first save. The
victory was Atlanta’s second in

breaking a five-game losing
streak and set the stage for to
night’s opener of a series with
the Chicago Cubs, who got a
