NEWS-REVIEW • May 6, 1971, THE J NEWS-REVIEW i ; sports CL Henri Freeman < 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. I II NhmM s' ks - - ■k B mb , f! v » ‘''c . /i* y- LEROY GIBBON mfjjIMISAVE! SAVE!

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. “I don’t know any of the TUNE-UP NOW FOR TOP PERFORMANCE PERRY'S SERVICE STATION ■SHNUMaaeeana i I I I g:? gx i I headed integrity S® is n s & II B I deserves I I gji $ local *W ••••S x*x heartfelt || Interest | ;a;s $$ *£ Best Wishes to the News ■ Review •g: I 'ixAfosrGv'e | ’ I l s t I: ’ s 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. Bo's Bait & Tackle 2011 Savannah Rd.
