Bobcats Defeat (
‘ Blackshear 26-7
!
| For 1-B Crown
The Blakely Bobcats defeated the
Blackshear Tigers 26-7 here last Fri-!
day night to take top honors in Re-}
gion 1-B and the right to meet Clax
ton, 45-20 victors over Treutlen Coun
ty, for the South Georgia title to
night (Thursday), in Blakely.
A record crowd including 400 Black
shear fans, who came by a 10-car
special train, pushed its way into‘
Blakely Standifer Field to watch these‘
'two 1-B powers battle for the cham-‘
' pionship.
Blakely's long-stepping Gene White.l
a candidate for all-state honors, and
pint-size Ward Holman, a 130-pound‘
facsimile of an atom bomb, led Coach
Ray Knight's Bobcats to their llth‘
straight victory. |
After a scoreless first quarter,
Blakely staged a 75-yard touchdown
drive with Ward Holman exploding
for the last 14 to give Blakely its
first touchdown, and Ed Morton, Jr.,
booted the extra point. Gene White
kept this drive alive, chalking up 26
yards, 18 -of wWhieh came in one carry.
Holman accounted for Blakely's 2nd
TD early in the third period on a
9-yard pass from Trey Herring, but
Morton's PAT went wide. This touch
down was the culmination of a 45-
yard drive.
Blackshear tightened up the score
ja few minutes later. The Tigers hawk
|ed a Bobcat fumble on the Blakely 20,
'and moved into the end zone for a 6-
pointer on a 4-yard pass from Jimmy
Bowen to Samy Lee. Bowen booted
the extra point.
Blakely took th eensuing kickoff and
marched 60 yards for a TD with Gene
White going straight up the middle
Ifor the final 14 yards. Morton booted
the extra point.
’ Bobby Gilbert intercepted one of
Evan~beLoach's« aerials to start Blake
ly's final touchdown drive. DeLoach,
trying desperately to put his team back
in the game, saw Gilbert pick off a
pass on the Blakely 47 and returned to
the Tigers' 38. Two plays and a 15-yard
penalty moved the ball to the Tiger
15. Gene White picked up one and
Holman got 11, being run out of bounds
on the 3, from where Gene White
bulled across. The try for extra point,
failed. {
The Tigers started off in brilliant
fashion Friday night, dominating play
in the first quarter, and it was in thel
second frame before the Bobceats could
decipher the Tiger plays, Blakely's de
fensive efforts were led by a sparkling!
performance by right end, Milton
White, who kept the dangerous Jimmy |
Bowen contained throughout the even
ing. Other defenders who turned in
lgood work were Jimmy Crowdis, Bob
by Gilbert, Jimmy Middleton, Tommy
Chandler, Johnny Shoemaker, Nelson
Hattaway, Hanson Owen, Buck Grist.
Cook Houston. Bill Cox, center, turned
in another good game. Bill's accuracy
in snapping the ball has been one of
the contributing factors to Blakely's
winning streak.

Southern Land, Timber and Pulp Corporation’s new giant $42,000,000 pulp and paper mill being built at
Cedar Springs, Ga., will move its company and contractor administrative personnel into its recently com
pleted $300,000 general office building (shown above.) The announcement was made by Edward L. Cowan,

Southern Land
Opens Its New
General Offices
Atlanta — Edward L. Cowan, Execu
tive Vice President of Southern Land,
Timber and Pulp Corporation, an
nounced this week that company con
tractor administrative personnel will
move into the newly completed $300,-
000 general office building at Cedar
Springs, on November 27, 1961,
Cowan pointed out that this early
occupancy—just one year after ground
breaking and thirteen months prior to
scheduled mill start-up—will greatly
facilitate the efficiency of communica- .
tion and coordination of joint efforts
by providing modern and efficient
quarters for engineering, construction,
purchasing and accounting depart
ments of Southern Land as well as for
key contractors. The new building
contains 22,000 square feet of space.
John J. Neely, President, hailed the
announced move as another of many
recent achievements worthy of the
faith of the corporation’s more than
25,000 Georgia owners. Ownership in
Southern Land is restricted to Geor
gians. . !
~ Neely said, “Construction of the $1.3
‘million Chattahoochee Industrial Rail
road is progressing satisfactorily on
schedule and the huge new linerboard
machine, which will be the initial pro
ducer for the company, is the most
modern and potentially the largest pro
ducer in the world. Now being built, it
is designed to meet Southern Land's
particular specifications and with its
auxiliary equipment will cost approxi
mately a total of $5,000,000.” |
Neely concluded by saying, “With
the advanced design methods being
used by Southern Land to take ad
vantage of the new processes and
equipment presently being introduced
to the paper industry to cut raw ma
terials and operating costs, we hope to
have a competitive advantage where
we can sell our product for less but
stili make the same profit ¢f our com
petitors.”
Southern Land's execut've offices
will be moved to the First National
Bank Building at 615 Peachtree Street,
N. E,, in Atlanta.
