SICKENING IDEA
Several days ago it seemed as if there would be a “big” fight
between Mohammed Ali and Wilt Chamberlain. This is one
proposed sports promotion that should have gone down the drain
before the idea was ever conceived.
It’s a shame that some money hungry promoters would stoop
to dupe the public into falling for this bit of “junk” and make a
mockery of boxing. Let’s hope this foolish idea will not be
permitted to be revived and gather support.
To think that Ali and Chamberlain even considered the
proposal is sickening. This writer hopes that these well known
sports figures never gave their stamp of approval to the venture.

The Jig Is Up
ATLANTA (PRN) - One of
the least expensive pieces of
fishing tackle you’re likely to
find in your box, and to
many, one of the least used is
the plain old jig.
It is a very versatile lure,
though, and deserves a good
deal of recognition simply
because it will catch a lot of
fish, when properly used.
When I say a lot of fish, I
mean both numbers and
variety.
Last night, for example, 1
Laney
Rocked-
Escapes
No Hitter
Lucy Laney’s Wildcats
visited Butler Tuesday
afternoon but ran into a rude
reception from lefthander
Wade Algood and his Butler
teammates. The Bulldogs’
pitcher came within two outs
of no-hitting the Wildcats as
the Butler team defeated
Laney 8-0.
Algood in posting his sixth
win of the season sent eleven
Laney batters down by the
strike-out route. Meanwhile,
his mates were pounding Wells,
the Laney pitcher.
Another Test
For Foreman
George Foreman, the
Olympic boxing champ, gets a
chance to strengthen his case as
a heavyweight boxing
contender next week when he
tangles with Gregorio Peralta,
the tough Argentine
heavyweight. A poor showing
could damage his chances of
being pushed higher up on the
list of those seeking the
heavyweight title.
Jet Free
Agent
Verlon Biggs, the big
defensive end of the New York
Jets football team, became a
free agent last week. He is now
in a position to negotiate with
any of the twenty-six NFL
teams.
The ex-Jackson State star
reportedly is the only Jet who
has not signed his 1971
contract. No doubt his present
status as a free agent has been a
contributing factor in his not
being signed.
SPENCE
j “THE MOVING KINO” J
| 733-8055 I
BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH
GEORGIA GAME AND
FISH COMMISSION
dropped by to see an old
friend, Don Pfitzer, Chief of
Conservation Education for
the U.S. Bureau of Sport
Fisheries and Wildlife for the
Southeast Don was making
jigs. In the course of the
conversation, he pointed out
that he has caught at least 13
species of fish on jigs. I won’t
name them, largely because I
can’t remember all of them.
Thinking on it, I was
surprised to recall how many
fish species I’ve strung that
were taken on jigs. One of the
first species you’d think of as
one to fall for a jig is a
crappie. There are those
crappie fishermen who are
dedicated to this lure. Once
several years ago, in gathering
information for my column I
was admiring a big stringer of
crappie. I asked the angler
whether he got them on
minnows or jigs. He suddenly
became huffy. “I don’t use no
minnows!” he said, insulted.
“I use jigs!” His prowess with
the little lead lure was
demonstrated by his stringer.
Crappie, however, are by no
means the only fish that fall
for the lure. I would say that
this is the season of the year
when the jig is used most, and
therefore probably catches the
most fish. I must admit that
though I’ve caught quite a
variety of fish on jigs, I still
have yet to land my first
jig-caught crappie. My own
experience tells me that the
most effective way to fish a jig
is in a stream, particularly for
those fish that make upstream
spawning runs. These include
white bass, shad, striped bass,
and walleye, in particular. Os
course, the size of the jig
varies with the variety and size
of fish you’re seeking.
Jigs are good in lakes and
ponds, too, however, though
my own skill in using them on
these waters apparently is
lacking, measuring the results I
get. Basically, to fish a jig in a
running stream I prefer to cast
toward the shore (if I’m on
shore, to the opposite shore)
and let the current take it
downstream a bit, then slowly
bump it along the bottom as I
reel it in. You lose a lot of jigs,
sometimes, on rocks and
snags But that’s where you
find the fish, and jigs are
inexpensive enough to make it
worth it.
In lakes, there are other
ways to fish jigs You may cast
it out, let it settle on a slack
line, them bump it along the
bottom. You may cast it out,
keeping the line tight as it
sinks, then bump it on
bottom. You may dangle it
straight below the boat to the
desired depth, then “jig” it up
and down to make it look like
a live minnow, or you may
suspend it below a float, and
twitch the float occasionally
to “jig” the lure.
Some people like to dress
up jigs with artificial or live
worms, spinners, pork strips or
chunks and all manner such
goodies Bright colors and
stripes are used. All are good.
Most people like to use two
jigs at a time. This is usually
more than twice as effective as '
one jig.
That little hook with a lead
body and hair or nylon tail
that simulates a minnow is a
lure you surely shouldn’t
overlook. You may miss some
action!
The Official Report from
Georgia's Big League Team
ATLANTA (PRN) - Bill
Anderson doesn’t really look
like a star. Not that he is
ordinary in the usual sense of
being plain. It’s that grin that
takes away the “star” stigma
of stiffness and superiority.
You just have to like him
because he likes you.
The Braves, along with
millions of other country
music fans in America, all
recognize Bill’s great talent as
one of the South’s all-time
great performers. He will be
honored by the Braves at
Atlanta Stadium on Friday
night, May 14, before the
game with the Philadelphia
Phillies. The date will be Bill
Anderson Day, as proclaimed
by the Mayor for the City of
Atlanta, and Bill will treat
Braves’ fans from throughout
the Southeast with his entire
show from the field, starting
at 7:15 prior to the 8:05
game.
When accepting the honor
of appearing for his own night
at the Stadium, Anderson said,
“Anyone who wouldn’t be
flattered to have something
like this honoring him in his
hometown would have to be
nuts, and I really could think
of no other words to sjiy to
the Braves other than ‘Thank
you’.”
Bill is truly a hometown
boy who made good. A native
of the Atlanta suburb of
Avondale, he was a pitcher on
the Avondale High School
baseball team and for the
University of Georgia. His two
loves as a boy growing up in
the South were baseball and
country music, and now as
one of the country music’s
most gifted artists, he is one of
baseball’s greatest fans.

Braves, but I’m surely looking
forward to meeting them.
They say Eddie Mathews is a
big country-western fan? Gee
whiz, that’s funny. I got
Eddie’s autograph on a
baseball as a kid and wouldn’t
take anything in the world for
it,” Anderson said.
Concerning his approach to
the country music field,
Anderson says, “Find
something you like doing so
much that you’ll do it for
nothing, then learn to do it
well enough that you are paid
and you’ve got it made.”
Bom in Columbia, South
Carolina, 32 years ago, what
finally set Bill’s course toward
the entertainment field was his
ability to write. While in the
school of journalism at
Georgia, he had combined
both his appeal for sports and
desire to write and begun to
report sports events for several
newspapers. From this Bill
decided to try his hand at
writing songs. After listening
night after night to country
records and singing the same
songs, why couldn’t he be
qualified to try his hand at
composing some? And so he
did.
Now Bill has his own
television show, is star of the
Grand Ole Opry and was voted
in 1965 as one of the top
three country-western
entertainers of all-time.
His hits include such
notable songs as “Where Have
All the Heroes Gone?”
(inspired by his love of sports,
“City Lights”, “Get While the
Getting’s Good”, “Po’ Folks”
and “Mama Sang a Song”.)
Bill Anderson is a great
friend of baseball, and now
Braves’ fans from all over the
Southeast will turn out to
honor him on May 14.
