: ANOTHER BIG TOURNEY
Of more interest probably to the fans of this section than even the
state tournament last week is the fifth annual Northeast Georgia In
(iepeud(:m Amateur meet, which gets under way here Tuesday with
the best teams in this part of the state entered.
This tourney, sponsored jointly by the local ¥.M.C.A. and
the Athens Banner-Herald is strictlj for independent teams,
with high school quintets being barred. The athletic cub teams
in the various towns as a rule are composed of former high
. school stars, who are now older and more experienced. This
fact insures an excellent brand of basketball, even more enter
. taining to basketball lovers than high school play.
The meet is literally a re-birth of the old Northeast CGeorgia high
sehool tournament, which perished along about 1927, almost simultan
eously with the inauguration of the Georgia High School association
tourney. So many boys who took part in those events are now play
ing with the athletic clubs in their home towns, and consequently en
tering the annual independent tourneys, that some of the dyed-in-the
wool fans who witness the games here this week can almost feel
that the clock has been turned back and that they are re-living thd
days of the old Northeast Georgia games,
if they did nothing more, the “Y"eßanner-Herald tourna
ments are splendid for the opportunity they furnish players to
’ renew old friendships and to make new ones. One can often
hear members of rival teams discussing the old high chool
'\ days, and recalling some incident which occurred in those con
tests. Only the best of spirit exists between the teams, but the
keen rivalry is not dampened in the least. {
* ¥rom the players' standpoint the coming tournament will furnish an
indeterminable amount of pleasure. ¥From the standpoint of the spec
tzitors, it will be thesmeans of furnishing more entertainment than they
have received for their money this year. Despite the fact that it is
rather late in the season for basketball, interest in this week's event
is at a high pitch, and many followers of the various teams will be in
Athens during the days on which the tourney is in progress.
\
e ALWAYS A FAVORITE |
One of the most interesting teams to enter this week's Independent
Amateur fourney is the Colbert Athletic club, which won the first of
‘these events in 1930. The Colbert boys have eéntered every meet since
that vear and have always made a most creditable showing. ‘
o We imagine that the little town of Colbert has turned out i
~ more first rate basketball players than any place of its size '
~in the world. One man known to most of the fans in this section |
~is Hitcheock, a boy who played with the Atlantic Coast Guards
~last year and was selected on the all-star coast guard team at |
' the conclusion of the season. He got his start at Colbert High }
~school and later kept up his playing with the athletic club until |
~ he joined the service. }
The list of excellent players is'a long ore, and cannot be given here.
?flwfievefl such namet as Hardman, Hart, Butler, and Kincaid will
(lon"ir be remembered in the annals of Colbert athletic history. Another
star of more recent years is Hoyt Chastain, who was a member of the
‘Georgia squad this season. 1
Did you ever see a dream walking—or a Colbert player that |
_wasn’t good when it came to goal shooting?. Well, we bet you,
~ haven't seen the latter. All Colbert teams are known for their |
. ability to shoot from long range——and they don't hésitate to )
~ erack down, either. They start training 'em young out there.
. . Tlhe babiafii"‘d!og‘f ith basketballs instead of the conventional
dollies, and as ‘u@i;*mhiy can toddle about they begin throw
~_ing the spherß«toward the goal. ; .
. This week anoth®r good Colbert team will be seen in action. Seve
m'ql*@ the young mep named above will be in the lineup, and they
will be in_there upholding their reputation. . Whether they win or lose,
you @in fest ussured that they will give a good account of themselves.

teams of last'year and year before
around which the 1934 nine will be
shaped, Coach Vernon Smith has
issued a call for all baseball can
didates to report Monday after
noon at 3 o’clock for the first
practice.
The pitchers and catchers have
been working out for a week and
are fast rounding into conditfcn
with the aid of the few days of
warm weather enjoyed during the
first of the week. With only three
weeks remaining before the open
ing game, Coach Smith must get
dawn to work in earnest to get his
charges in shape. \
The Bulldogs will engage the
Toronto International league team

eight of which will be played on
the road.
Lettermen from last vear’'s squad

nis, left field, and Leroy Moore
head, catcher, Two other men,
Tony Frazzitta and Lee Webb,
who made letters for the 1932 sea
gon, are available for duty again
this season.
Moorehead Doubtful
The status of Moorehead is
somewhat doubtful, due to injuries
and scholastic difficulties, but the
other five are ready for the sea
son’s play. B
The pitching departmenty was
groatly weakened by the Toss of
Jimmy Nicholson, Kenneth Hamil
ton, and Johnny Stiles from last
vear's :Southeastern sconference

den this spring. are Sullivan and
O'Kelley, reserves of last year,

quarterback, js a promising candi
date fr shortstop, while Henry
Wagnon, the star end, is expected
to wage a merry battle for an out
field pesition. Homer Key, regular
shortstop, is back in school this
vear, but will be ineligible because
he has played three years already.
Two premising first base candi
dates are Harrison Anderson and
Hal Gibson, The latter is a prod
uect of last season's frosh nine,
while Anderson was an understudy
of Virlyn Micore last year.

Tilt With Greensboro Hi
Slated for Athens on Fri
day, March 30
—g———
By JACK REID
Unless unforeseen difficulties
arise, a spring football game, the
first in the history of Athens High
schicol, will be played here Friday,
March 30, between the Maroons
and Greenshoro. Cpach Howell
Hollis, Athens mentor, received a |
letter from the Greensboro school\
Saturday agreeing to the game. J
"Spring practice for the Maroons
will probably ¢nd with the foot
ball game, unless the candidates
show unusually poor form, Coach
Hollis says. If fundamentals are
not learned well, practices will
probably be extended until after
the first week in April, he an
mounced. i
The candidates for the coming
yvear's team are smaller than the
ones on last year’s, but, as he has
some promising material, Coach
HoHis expects another s ¢ ron g
eleven for the 1934 season.
At center he has Marion Wilkes,
first string center of last year, and
Bill Snelling, a promising reserve
who was also on the squad last
season, returning. Bobby Daniels,
Cecil Griffith, and Hugh Craig
are about the only guards rgturn
ing from last year's squad. Al
though neither of these boys made
their letter last year, they are all
goad guards and will probably see
a 10¢ of service in the coming seas
son. \
Just what he will do about the
vacant tackle positions, Coach
Hollis is not certain. Billy Cel
ling is the only tackle returning
from last years squad. However
Coach Hollis will probably find a
couple of good players ambng
those trying out for that position.
George Pittard is the only end
returning who made a letter last
vear, but there are several good
men trying out for that position
and Coach Hollis d-<s not need to
worry much about protection of
the flanks next year.
Rilly Barron and Rudoiph Guest
are the only bhackfield letternvem
returning next year and they are
certain hets te make the first
team. There are quite a saw car.
didates for the other backfield
positions who will wage a hard
battle for first team places.
“Chick’’ Shiver Leaves
Saturday for Training :
Camp of Detroit Club
I.* M. (Chick) * Shiver, for-,
mer foetbal! and baseball star
and now a member of the
Georgia coaching staff, |eft
Saturday for the training
camp of the Detroit Tigers at
Lakeland, Fla.
Shiver was with Toronto of
the International league last
season, and his good work
there gave him his chance
with the big leaguers. He has a
fine chance of “sticking” this
time, as only oune of the six
outfielders reporting will be
cut off, it is said,
Joyner White, the Atlanta
boy whe is also a candidate
dor the Detroit outfield, will
join Shiver in Atlanta and
they will proceed together to
the Tiger camp.
