West Solomon Street - Griffin, Ga.
climax to a well-played, hard
hitting game.
Both teams were bothered by
turnovers in the first quarter.
However, they played almost
flawless ball in the next three,
even better than coaches had
anticipated.
The game was an experiment
and Coach Max Dowis was
pleased with the results.
In the past, coaches matched
the Bears into equal teams.
That produced some
mismatches.
Coach Dowis decided this
week to play his first team
offense against the first team
defense.
He did the same with the
second teamers.
The Gold team had the first
string offense and the second
string defense. The Green team
had the first string defense and
the second team offense.
That matched the team so
evenly that a standoff was
expected.
The Gold offense produced 20
points and the Green team’s
second string offense produced
20 points.
The 40 points indicate a wide
open offensive game. It was a
good offensive show. However,
the defense was exceptionally
strong, especially by the Green
team.
The Green team held the lead
twice and the Gold once. The
score was tied three times,
including the 20-20 final.
Nelms, who is stepping into
the shoes of all-stater Willie
Jordan, burned the Green
defense twice and Alonzo
Mathis did it once.
The Green team (second
offense) drew first blood in the
second quarter when eighth
grader Ricky Williams ripped
off 46 yards for a touchdown.
(He later scored two more.)
Eighth grader Jeff Ector
passed to Mac McCrary for the
extra point but the PAT was
erased by a 15 yard penalty.
Alonzo Mathis came up with a
41 yard touchdown run in the
second quarter to give the Gold
squad its first points.
As the half drew to a close,
Nelms went back to pass. He
kept his cool when he couldn’t
find a receiver and picked his
way 50 yards to the Green
seven. Russell Miller scored on
the next play and the Gold was
on top 12-6 at the half.
The Green unit tied the score
in the third when Curtis Holmes
dashed to the one to set up
Williams’ second TD. The extra
point was missed. That tied the
score 12-12.
The Gold team tried to come
back but got tremendous
pressure from ends Carl Imes
and Greg Head, tackles Danny
Coker and Jeff Hunt and line
backers Ronnie Bass and Tony
Scott and nose man Randolph
Vaughn.
The Gold gave up the ball.
The Green offense pieced
together another touchdown
drive that featured the running
of Williams. He scored from 25
yards out with 6:11 left in the
fourth. Ector passed to Rodney
Jester for the extra points. The
Green led 20-12.
That TD wrapped it up for the
Green — almost.
The Gold had the ball 31 yards
from pay dirt with eight seconds
to play. The Green could taste
victory over its teammates.
However, the Gold squad had
one more play and one more
plan.
Nelms sent Russell Miller into
end zone and hit him with a 31
yard face-saving pass.
That made it Green 20 and
Gold 18.
With one second on the clock,
Nelms flipped a three yard pass
to Kenny Ellison for the tying
points.

HILTON HEAD, S.C.—The “Golden Bear”, Jack
Nicklaus shows the crowd how to do it as he sinks a 40-foot
putt for a birdie on the 16th green. Nicklaus shot a 5-under
par 66 to take the lead in the first round of the $200,000
Heritage Classic. (UPI)
Nicklaus back
in the groove
HILTON HEAD ISLAND,
S.C. (UPI) —Jack Nicklaus is
right on schedule.
The “Golden Bear” always
points his game at the “major”
championships and right now
he’s aiming at the Masters, two
weeks away.
Winner in his last previous
outing two weeks ago in the
Doral Open at Miami, Nicklaus
has his game honed to a near
perfect pitch as evidenced by
his play in the opening round of
the Heritage Golf Classic here
on this island resort just off the
southern South Carolina coast.
Nicklaus, playing what he
called “under the conditions,
one of my better rounds in the
last couple of years,” battled
through a gusty wind Thursday
to post a 5-under-par 66 and
went into today’s second round
of this $200,000 tournament with
a three-stroke lead over five
runnerups.
U.S. Open champion Hale
Irwin, winner here in 1971 and
1973, headed up that group that
shot 2-under 695. Thursday. The
others were Don January,
Bruce Crampton, Andy North
and Tom Kite.
Only two others in the 102-
man field were able to break
par in the first round over the
tricky Harbourtown Course that
Jack Nicklaus helped design.
They were Tom Weiskopf and
Lassies
to hold
tryouts
The WHIE Lassies, a girls
softball team composed of
Griffin teenagers, has announc
ed they are holding try-outs for
the 1975 season.
Girls 14 through 19 years-old,
who are interested in trying out
for the team should be at City
Park, Tuesday, April 1 at 6:30
p.m.
The Lassies, entering their
fourth season of play, enter
women’s tournaments through
out the state.
Last year the Griffin girls
nailed down fifth place in the
State Amateur Softball Associa
tion Tournament held in Macon.
Twenty-one of the finest
womens teams in the state had
qualified for entry.

John Mahaffey, both at 70.
Nicklaus, in a masterful
underestatement, said, “I
played reasonably well.
“The wind was very difficult.
'lt was hard to pick the right
club out of the bag. It was a
tough day to play golf and I’m
surprised scores were as low as
they were.”
The wind was on all the
golfers’ minds Thursday.
“You just had to guess which
club to use,” said Kite. “You
could have just flipped a coin
and if it landed on its side, that
probably would have been
right.”
The field for the Heritage is
the best on the tour this year
with 26 of the top 27
moneywinners on hand, plus
South African Gary Player who
just returned to the United
States after more than six
months absence.
Player, who had not played in
any tournament for nearly two
months, shot an even-par 71
Thursday and said considering
how long it had been since he
played a competitive round, “I
was pleased with it.”
Defending champion Johnny
Miller was far back in the field
with a 7-over-par 78 and didn’t
want to talk about it.
“What can you say when you
just play lousy?” asked Miller.
Arnold Palmer was 1 under
through the first nine, but
wound up at 3-over 74. Lee
Trevino had an even bigger
blowup, going out in 4-under
then then playing 6 over on the
back nine for a 73.
