CHlCAGO—Chicago Cubs’ Rick Monday, (7), and San
Diego’s catcher Pat Corrales provided a little extra
curricular action not normally scheduled during the fourth
inning of game in Wrigley Field. The fight between the two
Jimmy Freeman, Ken Reynolds
match heroics in Atlanta
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) - It took
Philadelphia’s Ken Reynolds
the better part of the season to
get his first victory and then
Atlanta’s Jimmy Freeman up
staged him by matching that
feat the first day he was elig
ible.
Reynolds, who sported an 0-12
record going into the night, was
the route-going 11-1 winner Fri
day in the first game of a Phil
lies - Braves doubleheader and
Freeman, making his major
league debut after spending a
season in AAA ball, was the
route-going 11-5 winner when
the Braves took the second.
It was hard to tell which was
mere delighted.
“I hadn’t really been pitching
that badly (0-12),” said Reyn
olds, a 25-year-old lefthander
who came up to the Phillies at
the tailend of the 1970 season
and was 5-9 last year. “But I
was beginning to feel I wasn’t
ever going to win one this
year.”
“I was so tense at first I
could hardly hold the ball,” la
ter said Freeman, also a left
hander but barely 21.
Freeman’s tenseness was tes
tified to by the 11 bases on
walks he gave up but Braves
pitching coach Lou Burdette
said, “he won his first start
and that’s the big thing. I don’t
care how he won it, it will give
his ego the boost any youngster
needs.”

Reynolds pointed out that his
record this year belies his per
formance. “I’d been losing a lot
of close ones,” he said. ‘You
know you aren’t pitching that
badly when you are 0-12 and
they still have enough confi
dence in you to send you back
out on the mound.”
Three runs in the third and
a whopping seven runs in the
fourth made Reynold’s effort
for victory No. 1 an easy one
Friday night as the only run he
yielded came on Rico Carty’s
lead-off homer in the second.
“If you can’t win with that
many runs you don’t deserve to
win,” he noted.
Young Freeman was almost
gone before he got started as
the Phils jumped on him for
two first-inning runs but Dusty
Baker’s three-run homer in a
four-run first and Darrell
Evans’ grand slam in a five
run fourth gave him a 9-2 lead
and after that Burdette and
manager Eddie Mathews let
him work out of his own jams.
“The mound seemed high to
me, a lot higher than the one
we had at Richmond,” said
Freeman. “I think that was one
of the reasons I was high with
my fast ball and walked so
many batters.
“But the big thing was that
I was finally in the majors,”
Freeman continued. “I didn’t
question it when they sent me
to AAA ball this year because
they said I needed more work.
“But I think I’m ready to
stay up here now.”

ATLANTA (UPI) - The first
duel between black quarter
backs in major Southern college
football has the Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets’ hopes up for
their season opener Sept. 9
against the Tennessee Vols.
Tech will have an experienced
man at the helm, senior Eddie
McAshan, while the Vols will be
using Condredge Holloway, a
highly - touted sophomore who
will be playing his first varsity
game.
Besides getting to take on
Holloway in his first test, the
Yellow Jackets are glad they’re
catching the whole Tennessee
squad five weeks earlier than
they were originally scheduled
to, in order to be the opener of
1972 college football television.
Old Miss may win Southern
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI)-The South
eastern Conference football title
this fall will be awarded to the
survivor of a five-way battle.
There is no clearcut presea
son choice.
Ole Miss is the favorite in
this quarter on the basis of a
wholely intact offensive unit
returning from last year’s
strong finish, but the Rebels
admit to defensive problems.
Alabama, minus Johnny Mus
so, is favored elsewhere and
there are those who say that
Georgia, with an outstanding
offensive backfield, needs only
to shore up its interior lines to
take it all.
Louisiana State, always a
challenger, has strong quarter
backing and a relatively weak
schedule and then there’s
always Tennessee, which should
go as far as sophomore
quarterback Condredge Hollow
ay leads.
None of the other five SEC
teams figure to be a contender

DARLINGTON, S.C.—With the wind blowing his hair into a “Medusa-like” hairdo, Richard
Petty, Randleman, N.C. stockcar racing king, gets into his Dodge for a practice run at the
Darlington Race Track here. Petty, who drove Plymouths for many years, switched to Dodge for
this year’s Southern 500 on Labor Day. (UPI)
this fall although Auburn coach
Shug Jordan insists people are
making a mistake when they
figure the Tigers can’t be big
winners without Pat Sullivan
and Terry Beasley.
North Carolina is expected to
repeat as champion in the
neighboring Atlantic Coast Con
ference but observers there
point out that the Tar Heels
have some rebuilding to do
after losing 14 starters and
insist Clemson and-or Duke
could make the ACC race
interesting.
Richmond is the defending
Southern Conference champ
and has 14 starters back but
William & Mary poses a serious
threat to the Spiders’ repeat
bid.
Florida State, paced by
quarterback Gary Huff who led
the nation last year in total
offense with 2,853 yards, is
expected to be the South’s top
independent with Georgia Tech,
more relaxed under the coach
ing of Bobby Dodd disciple Bill
Fulcher, the Seminoles’ leading

challenger.
The South is loaded with
outstanding quarterbacks this
year. In addition to Huff,
there’s Virginia Tech’s Don
Strock who was third in the
nation in total offense in ’7l
with 2,404 yards; LSU’s Bert
Jones whom scouts call one of
the top pro prospects; Geor
gia’s Andy Johnson, possibly
the best running quarterback in
the nation; and Georgia Tech’s
Eddie McAshan.
If his legs hold up, North
Carolina’s Ike Oglesby could be
the South’s top runner this fall
with Miami’s Chuck Foreman,
Alabama’s Joe Laßue, and
Georgia’s Jimmy Poulas chal
lenging Oglesby for that honor.
Alabama’s John Hannah,
“slimmed down” to 260 pounds,
rates as the South’s top
lineman.
The nationally televised Ten
nessee-Georgia Tech game
Sept. 9 features a first: the
duel between Holloway and
McAshan marks the first time
blacks have quarterbacked both
teams in a game between two
major college southern teams.
Ole Miss’ most highly herald
ed sophomore since Archie
Manning —Billy Maloof —will
be the only Rebel offensive
starter who didn’t have that job
last fall when Ole Miss won its
last seven games -including a
41-18 Peach Bowl route of
Georgia Tech.
Georgia lost only to Auburn a
year ago but didn’t play
Alabama like it does this time
around.
