PAGE EIGHT Commerce Defeats Good Hope 4-0 To Win 2nd Half Of Piedmont Leagu Nunnally Wins Technical Knockout Over Deadwyler, in Seventh Important Changes On Athens High Team Announced By Hollis Bowers, New Coach, Is Present at Dirills : Twice Yesterday By JACK REID Coach Howell Hollis, Athens High football mentor, is planning radical changes for the Athens high football team this season that will see players play one position on offense gnd another while on de fense. | Charlie Williams, the 187 pound guard, wil] continue to play at that position on offense but while the pigskin in possession of the,‘ opposing eleven he will perform as a tackle. Thig change was made so that Willlams could still pull out and run interference for the Maroon backs when his team has the ball and also use his great de fensive powerg at tackle, a -spot in the lineup that has given no little | worry to Hollis, I Marion Wilkes, the center, is an-{ other of the players who will find | himself performing at different pn-' sitions. Wilkes will still be the snapper-back when the Maroonal have the ball, but when the ene my getg position of the inflated skin the powertul center will hold down a guard position. I While Wilkes is holding down the defensive guard position, Wal. ter Wilfong, who will play guard on offense, will shift over gnd take | care of the center of the Maroon forward wall. ‘ Coach Hollis gtated yesterday that he was not certain where| either George Pittard or Winston | Hodgsgon would perform. Plnm-d.‘ although there is a possibility of! fi:m playing in the backfield, will ost likely stay at end since it ‘ha® heen reported that “Sambo” Bowden, firsy string flankmen last season, will not play foothall again thig year. Hodgson's fate will lie bhetween tackle and quarterback, with the uoks: position favored to get the 175 und nlaver He could he a valudble asset to the team at either position and it is possible that he will be at each position this season. Bill Snelling, the promising young center, will not return to Athens high school this year ac ?‘H’_ ing to g report yesterday. nelling was counted on to be the WUnderstudy of Wilkes this year and his loss will he greatly felt. With Clayton Bowers, the new assistant cotch, reporting to his first opractice, the candidates, mround 30 strong, were sent through two practices yesterday, one in the fiorning and one in tne after noon.

The win ners secured 6 of the bingles white the losers found Hollanq for only 4. E. Wagnon, McDonald Star MecDonald, Commerce center fielder, led the batting for the win ners with 2 for 4, but the real bat 'ting star of the afternoon was the Good Hope left fielder, E. Wag non.

(Associated Press Sports Writer) I The New York Giants faceq the beginning of their final home sy ltoday against their westory rivals of the National league i, a | seven game lead ang handsome | prospects of settling the penpan | race before they leave the Polo Grounds again. ' They turned up yesterday ny taking a pair of ninth-inning, gne. lrun decisions from the Phillies 3 to 2 and 6 to 5 to add a full game ito their margin over the idle (. cago Cubs and St, Louis Cardinals, 'who are tied for second place, Iy their next dozen games they an. counter the Cubs, the Plttshurgn Pirates and the Cards In order ang if they can win three games oyt tof four in each series that will vip. \,tually win the flag for them ont right. e In further support of the Giants position is the fact that they have lost only two series, both at Chi cago, since the first of June The Phils gave the leagie leaders a couple of close calls yesterday but enither Curt Davis nor 8y Johnson could stand off New York's ninth inning bursts. The only other National league game saw the Braves and Randy Moore defeat the Dodgers 3 (1 so, their third straight triumph and their tenth in eleven home games against Brooklyn. Moo drove in all three Boston runs with a pair of singles. ‘The defeat, inci dentially, brought about Brooklyn's mathematical elimination from the pennant race. The weather benefited Detroit's Tigers for the second time when their doubleheade, at Chicago way rained out, leaving only one game on the American league program. The Tigers’ leading rivals, the Yankees, also were idle but the games with the White Sox now must be played at Detroit, glving the Tigers’ the slight advantage of the home grounds.
