A NEW LEASE ON LIFE ... FOR ONE
When the deal between the Dallas Cowboys and the New
England Patriots involving Duane Thomas fell through, 1969
rookie NFL sensation Carl Garrett went back to the Pats. No
doubt Garrett is a happy fellow now for he is still among old
friends and seemingly doing well during the exhibition season.
While Garrett is back with his old team, Thomas is on the
outside looking in. He is not back with the Cowboys, and it
doesn’t look as if that’s going to happen.
From this corner it seems to be one of two things. Either
Duane Thomas has been counseled very poorly or he has let his
1970 success get the best of him, thus popping off too much, too
loud and too long.
Let us hope the youngster will get things all in order and wind
up on a team that will freely accept him. Then he’ll be able to
make his contribution to NFL football.
FOOTBALL THE ONE AND ONE WAY
It looks like local high scljpol football among 4AAA schools
will be scheduled very much like it was last year. Teams in the
region will have two cracks at each other. Os course this means
that local 4AAA teams will not get a chance to lock horns with
any “outsiders.”
Although the football played in this region by the local teams
and the teams from Milledgeville and Sandersville is top caliber,
local gridiron fans would like to see other outside teams perform
here.
GREAT BLACK ATHLETES
Lenny Ford
Born 1926 Michigan
Won All-American honors with Wolverines in 1940. An angular
athlete, he was one of the best ends Browns ever had. Extremely
tough and fast as a rabbit.
Willie Gallimore
Born 1943 Florida A & M
Starred at scatback on the great Gator Teams under Jake
Gaither. Had blazing speed and used sharp twists. With Bears until
his death by auto accident.
Roosevelt “Rosey” Grier
Born Cuthbert, Ga., 1932 Penn State
A seasoned defensive tackle, for years a big wheel in Giants’
famed goal line stands. A 280 lb. giant who struck fear in hearts
of enemy rushers. Now a TV actor.
“Big Train” Moody
Born 1916 Morris Brown
A fast moving back who ran wild in black college ranks. His
6-3, 200-pound body bristled with ability. Literally blasted
tacklers out of his path.
Ken Washington
Born Los Angeles, Calif., 1922 UCLA
Rated one of greatest running backs. Holds Bruins 3 year mark
of 1,915 yds. All- American in 1939.
the troupe and more fans lined
the 12 mile road leading from
the airport into Lagos.
Brown’s first stop was a
courtesy call to the palace of
the Oba of Lagos, Adeyinka
Oyekan 11, where he spent over
an hour comparing stories of
blackness and manhood with
His Highness. Brown was
proclaimed a Freeman of Lagos
by Oba Oyekan and presented
with a chain of office. A scroll
detailing the life history of
Brown and his influence on
black men all over the world
was presented with the Oba’s
seal and hand.
Brown’s schedule of 5
concerts in Nigeria took him to
four cities, and even when the
plane stopped at airports for
fuel on the grueling trips fans
waited eagerly to catch a
glimpse of the singer. The
Nigerian concerts were
underwritten by Phillip Morris
International,and Brown chose
to present the very same
concert that he presents
throughout the United States
yearly. In Lagos, Brown was
presented with a Gold Record
honoring him for becoming the
first non-Nigerian to sell
50,000 copies of a single
release.
The group left Nigeria for
Zambia for three more
concerts. All three concerts
were held at huge outdoor
stadiums with audience
capacities of over 20,000 each.
After a day of rest, Brown was
hosted by Zambian President
Kaunda. President Kaunda saw
fit to proclaim Brown the Head
of the State of Music in
Zambia, and Brown returned
the honor by singing his
famous. “It’s a Man’s World.”
Wherever the show played,
they were presented with gifts
of flowers, robes, trinkets, and
other tokens of appreciation
and devotion. Every honor that
could possibly be bestowed on
a foreigner was presented to

Brown and his group. Nigerians
haven’t received an entertainer
so strongly in history. Only
Louis Armstrong’s 1961
Nigeria trip came close to
equaling the amazing effect
Brown had on his African
brothers and sisters. Brown
quickly praised Nigeria and
Zambia for being Black nations
that stood for manhood and
true blackness, not corruption
and war.
Brown’s concert before
25,000 at Dag Hammarskjoeld
Stadium was attended by the
head Minister of State in
Ndola, Zambia. The immense
stadium stands in Ndola and
again the singer was mobbed
before and after singing to the
throng. Police and military had
their jobs cut out for them in
keeping the hysterical fans
from leaping onto the stage. At
many points the idol-like
adulation reached such a peak
that some feared for Brown’s
life, had police not been able
to contain the crowds.
The Sunday Times of
Zambia reported that all day
before the evening concert in
Ndola, taxies were fully
booked and railway and bus
stations packed as fans flocked
to the city and the stadium.
People came from villages as
far as 200 miles from Ndola to
see and hear Soul Brother No.
1.
Only could an entertainer
like Brown, who relates to
blacks as strongly as he does in
America, gain and maintain the
reputation he does among
African blacks. True, Brown
has hysterical fans in America
but nowhere in his many
travels has he encountered the
feeling he did in Nigeria and
Zambia where he was treated
not as a singer or “star” but he
was honored as a man first and
then a singing star.
In Lagos there is a group
known as the Evelyn Dance
Band, led by Orlando Julius.
The Official Report from
Georgia's Big League Team
ATLANTA (PRN) - Just
ask Atlanta Braves pitching
coach Harry Dorish; he’ll tell
you. He wouldn’t take any
other pitching staff in the
National League in exchange
for the one he has with the
Braves.
“We don’t have a Marichal
or a Perry like San Francisco,”
Dorish said. “We don’t have
the individual stars. Our staff
is made of the good,
consistent starters and
relievers who’ll battle you all
the way.”
The Braves’ staff has, of
course, been doing a lot of
battling recently. Since a June
28th doubleheader in the
Houston Astrodome, the
Braves pitching has been the
best in baseball. The staff led
the Braves to a record of 25
wins and just 11 losses
between June 28 and August
11 and showed no signs of
slowing up.
“This is the way we
expected the pitching to be
from the very beginning,”
Dorish continued. “We knew
we had the good pitchers all
along, but there were some
things that had to be worked
out that have been worked out
now.”
Dorish contributes the
“brand new” pitching to two
major factors: 1) A healthy
pitching staff, and 2) Earl
Williams’ catching.
“I just can’t say how much
it means to us to have all the
pitchers back healthy,” he
said. “This is the first time
we’ve been in this situation
since two years ago, and it
really makes a difference.
“We’ve made some
adjustments, like putting Tom
Kelley in the starting rotation
and Jim Nash in the bull pen.
Kelley’s been very effective as
a starter, and Jim has found
himself again in the bull pen.
In fact, you could see how
much of a help Nash can be in
relief from the Mets game the
other night. (Nash pitched six
innings without giving up a
run.)
“And then, you just can’t
say enough about Earl
Williams. Since Luman moved
him to catcher, the pitching
has been much better. Earl
meets with the starting pitcher
before each game to go over
the pitches. And when a
pitcher makes a mistake, he
goes out to the mound right
Julius, influenced heavily by
the imported James Brown
records he has heard for years,
had the opportunity to meet
his idol and immediately took
his band into Polydor’s studios
in Lagos and recorded “James
Brown Ride-On” in tribute to
the singer’s tour. Julius
promised to send Brown a
copy of the record as soon as
it’s available along with a
photo album of his stay. The
jacket of the record will carry,
naturally, Julius’ picture sitting
next to -- James Brown.

then after the pitch to correct
it.”
Some of the important
improvements in the Braves
mound staff have been the
return of Phil Niekro to his
1969 form, the return of Cecil
Upshaw to the bull pen, the
addition of Tom Kelley to the
starting rotation, and the
overall good ptiching from the
entire staff.
NOTES - The Georgia
Recreation and Park Society’s
Super Sports Clinic is coming
up Saturday at the Stadium.
The Clinic looks like it will be
a big success, and thousands of
youngsters are expected to
attend. The Clinic sessions
start at 11 a.m. and will run all
day, and the $3.00 price of a
Clinic ticket includes a
reserved area ticket to the
Braves-Cards game that
night. . .There are special
prices set up at local camping
facilities for Braves fans who
plan to attend the Campers’
Holiday at the Stadium on
September 25th, when the
Braves play the Dodgers. Write
the Braves for more
information.

for adequate exhaust system
testing and adjustments, with
the van being able to handle
two cars at a time.
The primary purpose of the
program, according to the
sponsors, is to promote public
