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. Most of the tim: was spent
fn* limbering up, walking thiough
ihe plays, passing practice, ete.
_Two more yracticeg ‘vire on
schedule for today, one at 10 this
morning and one at 3 this after
noon. Both drills were similar to
the one yesterday. The first
Serimmaege will be held in ahout

much.”
! Statistics show that gince he
»Itook up the Trojan armour, South
ern California has in alternate

for its scoring plays. Last season
the quick line thrusts of “Cotton”

{ the last two weeks, displayed box

Iyn‘isod even “Tiger” Deadwyler.
| Coasting along in the opening
Irounds. Nunnally was content 1o
| drop the first and third rounds,
’\vhhuut damage. and secure an
]nvvn break in the second.
| The fourth round was marked
i\\'lti'l several hard rights from
! Nunnally to Deadwyler, a pl.y
| that became a habit before the
;flrlm: ceased. Nunnally was siill
i fighting under wrapz. The fifth
was only a dupiication of the
fourth, with , Nunnelly landing
just enough clean blows to win
the rovrnd. 'Then came the sixth.
I Whirlwind Attack ‘
| Ccming out of his corner with
lan ootburst of speed. Nur:naliy{
feinted his way inte an opening
and Lattered Deadwyler with lefts |
and rights. Never stopping, mov-1
ing forward and onward to vlcto-‘
ry, the Bogart battler shot left
Ijabs and right crosses with the |
finesse and markmanship of al
Iveteran.' he was not the same
| fighter Deadwyler almost defea,t-l
led two weeks ago. |
I Flooring Deadwyler once in the
sixth, Nunnally held the uppcx"
hand without any doubt. Dead-‘
‘wyler’s foce was marked with a
{ stream of elar:t flowing from 2
lcut above his right eye and a

! Final Round
! At the sounding of the bell

i his corner, and carrying the
fight to his weakened and bat

!canvass to escape a flurry of
I rights ‘and lefts. His face a beaten,
{ pulp, his eyvesight bad due to the

held scoreless and almost hitless
by the brilliant twirling of the

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
