WILDCATS SIT ATOP HEAP
After scoring a 31-7 win over the ARC Musketeers last
week, the Lucy Laney Wildcats now rule the roost in Region IV
AAA. Just how long David Dupree’s gridders will sit atop the
heap is anybody’s guess for no team has proved its supremacy in
the region at this point. Eight teams must play each other twice,
and the second meeting could be everything but a copy of the
first meeting.
Laney must face the Butler Bulldogs tomorrow night, and
Dupree does not expect his boys to have an easy opponent. The
Bulldogs have just the type of team to knock the props from
under the Wildcats. Their defense has heen so effective that the
Wildcats offensive thrusts tomorrow night might have to come as
much by air as by running in order to score against the Bulldogs.
HAS JOSEY THE MOMENTUM?
It took the entire month of September before the Josey Eagles
were able to celebrate a 1971 gridiron victory. Two frustrating
defeats at the hands of Statesboro and Glenn Hills thwarted
efforts of the Eagles to record their first win earlier,
After making the Westside Patriots their first victim last week
(28-7), Hank Daggett feels that he had his team ready, both
mentally and physically, for the remainder of the season. This
must be the case if the team expects any degree of success with
its remaining opponents. Tomorrow they meet Swainsboro, a
team that must be highly regarded for they handed Glenn Hills its
only defeat. Daggett, however, is not overly disturbed, feeling
that the last week’s performance of his charges served notice that
the visiting Swainsboro team will be in for a busy evening of
hard-knocking football.
ARJ PANTHERS CLASS OF JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL
The Panthers of A.R. Johnson Junior High School seem to be
in a class by themselves in local junior high football. The Panthers
coached by Marion Barnes have been making a habit of rolling
over opponents this season. They have not been defeated, and
coach Barnes feels that he has the horses to score enough points
in each game to go all the way.
Last week the Panthers clawed deep into the Junior Spartans
of Glenn Hills and came out with a 22-0 victory. The scoreless
performance of the Glenn Hills eleven attested to the fact that
ARJ has a stout defense to go along with its highpowered offense.

(1965-1970) as councilman on various committees, I fed,
qualifies me for another term. My record is open to everyone and
I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of the city, either
by initiation or particiaption, viz, Pendleton King Park; Veterans
Nursing Home; Dental College; Augusta College (4 yrs.); new
University Hospital facilities; Gearwell Water Storage; Waste
water treatment<plant; Central Shop; new Public Works facilities;
combining Planning and Zoning committees; airport extension to
take care of ever increasing public demands due to industrial
growth; not least - no tax increase 1965-1970-1971.
2. The early unifying of the city and county governments. The
last time we forgot to ask the people what they wanted. This time
I will insist we get everyone’s opinion, work together insuring a
better future for all of Richmond County. I feel with the
efficiency of one rather than dual government control we will be
able to save the already overburdened taxpayers. With the
dimination by transition and other controls we should be able to
decrease taxes over the years for the same services. Balanced
Budget. The next three years will be important as the demands
for services increase. One of the ways I believe I can contribute is
by helping plan for future development to hold down costs to
taxpayers and get projects done more efficiently. Should I have
the privilege of serving my fellow citizens, I will not only be
happy to talk to any of them at any time but would urge each to
give me the benefit of their thoughts and ideas. As an individual
citizen my whole motive is to serve my fellow citizens with no
commitments nor obligations to any group and solicit the support
and votes of all “Augustans”.

institutional racism. Ts is
obvious also that the powerful
have material interests which
are in direct contradiction with
the black man’s need for low
and moderate income housing, i
full employment, progressive
taxation, and a radical
reconstruction of the whole
social order.”
We can no longer rely on a
coalition with the power
structure to help us solve our
problems. This should be kept
in mind during this coming
City Council election. For too
long we have relied on the
good faith of the rich and
powerful. John Murray, Sam
Maguire, Charlie Douglas or
any other power will not solve
our problems.
We have tried to create an
alliance between the blacks and
white liberals. Although some
progress was made, much more
could have been achieved if
white liberals were not
c o n f 1 i c t - s hy. Their
effectiveness was limited as a
group by their occupational
and professional interests and
they tend to run when the
struggle threatens the
professional bureaucracies and
institutions they manage or
control and the neighborhoods
in which they live.
We’ve tried to ally ourselves
with poor whites. This effort
has failed because poor whites
“are in direct competition with
blacks for jobs, commodities
and living space. Moreover,
white workers have a low level
of consciousness and have been
taught to believe that their real
ememies are blacks instead of
the social system which
victimizes them as well as
blacks.”
A coalition with blacks and
radical whites of the old and
new left has been tried.
Although this group offered
the kind of ideals needed to
bring about a radical change, it
was lacking in any substantial
support from the white
community.
We’ve even tried to coalesce
with other minority groups
such as the American Indians,
Puerto Ricans, Mexican
-Americans and other ethnic
groups. We saw no real progress
against the system.
Jack’s question is one which
I suppose is asked by every
black person today, “Where do
we go from here?” I feel that if
we are going to make real
progress here in Augusta, we
have to stop worrying about
coalescing with the power
structure, the white liberals,
poor whites, radical whites and
other minorities or ethnic
groups. We have to think in
terms of “getting our thing
together.”
As Lerone Bennett states,
“Our most immediate task is
not a coalition between black
and white students but a
coalition between black
students and black
administrators, between black
hustlers and black intellectuals,
between black men and black
women, between black fathers
and black sons, between all the
black fathers and all the black
sons.
“When we create that kind
of coalition and when we dare
to speak in the name of the
common interest which we
represent, we will not go
begging on our knees for allies.
For then we will be men and
women and our allies as well as
our adversaries will have to
deal with us as men and
women.”
So our salvation lies not in
getting together with whites,
but in getting together with
ourselves.
