Some coaches around the region consider Rockdale the most improved team. One successful coach wasn’t mislead by the Rockdale build up. “Rockdale is improved. But has it improved enough to beat Griffin? After all, Griffin beat them one time,” he said, hummph. Griffin must now prove again that it is the best. My zillions of followers I .. .♦ * The old boy himself thought I skipped town after Griffin completed its season. Yours truly, the famous football forecaster, was deluged by telegrams, seeking an assess ment of the championship game, hummph. I didn’t slip out of town. I took a couple of days off to rest my brain, which was overworked. My spies (coaches call them scouts) went to work, gathering information on Rockdale im mediately after the Bulldogs beat the Newnan Cougars to win the Division I, 6-AAA title. The reems of information concerning players, coaches, waterboys, managers and even the cheerleaders plus some technical data on the wishbone formation filled a cardboard box. After throwing out the worth less material and condensing the rest, the useable facts were noted on one small piece of paper. The usuable facts on Griffin filled two notebooks, haff-gaff. After comparing the informa tion, it was fed into a miniature computer, which I constructed during lunch-break last Tues day, haff-gaff. The computer findings were then figured on a slide-rule. The slide-rule gave me a prediction. That prediction was compar ed with the one shown by a crystal ball. There was a differ ence. All of that work was wasted when I tossed the results in a trash can and figured the score in my well-rested brain, hummph. Here is the results of five minutes of concentration: Griffin 27 Rockdale 15. Bonnie Rounds rolls 215 Bonnie Rounds bowled a 215 game and a 508 series yesterday in the Straw Hat Pizza League.

(UPI) - The high scoring Georgia Bulldogs will line up against stingy, unbeaten Miami of Ohio Dec. 21 in the Tangerine Bowl. The Orlando Sentinel reported in today’s editions that Georgia voted Wednesday to accept the bid. The paper said the formality of a vote by the athletic committee was sche duled for today after which an official announcement would be made. It will be a repeat perfor mance for Miami which au tomatically received a bid when it won the Mid-American Conference title again this year.

Miami is 9-0-1, unbeaten in 22 games and ranked 12th in the nation. When Miami Coach Dick Crum heard Georgia had voted to accept, he said: “I think that’s great.
