THE WILL TO WIN
A boy who wanted more than
apything else on earth to make a
letter in high school, but couldn’t
has developed into one of the best
fighters at the University of Geor
gla.
Richard Winston, a sopho
more at the university, is the
boy. He fights i~ the 145
pound class, and, some say, is
the best boxer on the team. |
And they don't exclude Mickey |
Radutzky or Charlie Jacobson, |
either, _
Thers’'s qwite a story about l{i('h-l
ard’s athletic career. When he l'n-'
tered Athens high school, he set |
two goals. One was to earn :m'
athletic award, and the other to
graduate with honors, He succeed
ed in one, the latier, but he neyer
carned a letter, although he tried
in footbhall ana track. ) |
It was pretty hard for the
boy to leave Athens High
without an emblem, but he
still was resslved to earn one.
He wss not ra natural athlete, ,
but a boy who had to toil'end
lessly for everything he got in
the sporting world.
He had tried for football and
track at Athens High, and was not
good enough to make a letter, so
when he entered college, hoxing
was about the only thing that of«
sered any future. He went out fo!'l
the freshman team, and by his de.
termination, managed to draw the
attention of Coach Clarence W.
Jones, who saw possibilities in the |
boy. |
And so the two worked to
gether. For awhile Conch Jones
would not le# him get into a
ring, Finally he developed
enough to be used as a spar- i
“'ring partner for members of
the varsity squad. He took a ‘
beating every day, and still he
came back for more. He want- |
ed to make 5 letter. '
The next step forward, was
when he hoxed in a preliminary
to a varsity match., He was heat
en, but gained much ‘oxq)@riem‘e.
At the end of the season, Rich
ard was awarded a freshman num
eral, and it was probably the most
deserved one that the University
of Georgiy has ever awarded. §
This ceason Richard was one
of the first to answer the call
for boxing practice. And he
was the first to get in condi
tion for a battle. In ithe first
match of the year, with Flor
ida, he lost, but it was by such
a close decision that even the
Florida fans thought it should
have been a draw.
Against Clemgon, however, Win
ston was beaten decisively, and
things began te look bhad for the
Athens boy. He needed more ex
perience, and he needed to develop
a knockout punch,
But he kept trying, and
against S. G, T. C,, he won his
" first fight. It was by a de
cision. Then the Teachers. .
came to Athens, and Winstun
surprised everyone present, by
“scoring a kneckout in his fight.
" Friday night, the hoy won an
other fight, via the knockout route
apd now he is being declared the
hest fighter on the team. Sur
pflsmgly enough, the manp he de
'flQh.led was one who has been on
the Clemson boxing team for two
years, and the same one who won
a decision in Clemson.
| The determisation and cour
‘age that Winston has showed,
‘should go down in history as
_one of the greatesy athletic
achievements ever actomplish
ed at Georgia. Future athletes
at the university who ®experi
ence difficulties in going for
ward, can look back at the jac
~ complishmenty of this boy, and
set him as an example.

’
' Freshmen Earn Tie
BY GUY TILLER, JR.
The fistie stars from Clemson
handed the Georgia Bulldogs a 4
1-2 to 3 1-2 defeat here Friday
night in the second match of the
yvear between the two teams.
In the feature bout of the card
Richard Winston, local 155 pound
:ophomore Who carries a healthy
waliop in both of his fists, knocked
cut Loftin, who had won a decision
when the two met before, in the
second round. Sending home
crushing rights and pumping his
opponents body when the two en
gaged in “close fighting” Winston
rallieq after the South Carolinian
had won the first round and fin
ished his opponent in the closing
stages of the second round.
Mictey Radutsky, Georgia's cap
tain who still boasts an unmarred
record, won a 50 second technical
knockout over Siggs. The two had
hardly begun fig' ting when the
Bulldog star sent a lightning like
left flush to the Clemson man’'s
face and down he went. The sec
onds tossed in a towel as they saw
the chances for a victory were im
possible. .
Charley Jacobson, who won a
decision, and Sidney Perlow were
other Bulldogs to garner points
Alex Ashford lost a close decision
tc Dawson, one of the cleverest
fighters ever witnessed here, in
another good bout. Boulware and
Burdine were other Georgia boxers
to drop decisions. The Bulldogs
forfeited the 118 pound class.
While their elder brothers were
losing the Georgia Bullpups earn
ed a 2 to 3 tie with the Clemson
yearlings, Bobk Kimbrell, Athens
boy, participated in spring football
during the afternoon and then
fought that night. ‘The football
drill seemed to spur him on as he
knocked his opponent out in the
first round after only 10 se%onds
had passed. Bill and Aleck Stev
ens, the two red headeq brothers,
2arned the gther two points for the
Bullpups.
There were no deer native in

New York Giants Gives |
Slugger Release in
: Surprise Move !
NEW YORK — () — Frank J.!
(Lefty) O'Doul, world traveler,!
raconteur and one of the great|
batsmen of modern baseball, Sat- |
urday was given his unconditional
release by the New York Giants so|
that he can become manager of,
the San Francisco Seals of the!
acific Coast lL.eague. ;
The celebrated “man in the green|
suit,”” who duplicated Babe Ruth’s)
stunt of switching from southpaw |
pitching to championship slugging, |
thus returns to the place of hisi
birth to realize a managerial am
hition. !
V' Doul never compatred with Ruth
as % piteher. In fact he was not
a regular until he shifteq to the
outfield but thereafter he won two
National league batting champion
ships, in 1929 with the Phillies and
1932 with the Dodgers, besides
winding wup his aggregate of 11
major league years with one of the
best left-time hitting marks in the
hooks.
Of the players who finished on
any National league roster last
yvear, only Chuck Klein of the Cubs
shaded O'Doul in the life-time bat
ting list. Their figurés are .3524
and .3523, respectively. O’Doul’s high
mark for a season was .398 in 1929.
O’'Doul made his big league debut
as a southpaw rookie with the New
York Yankees in 1919, the year that
Ruth came to the club from Boston.
Lefty and the Babe quickly became
pals but while Ruth soarea to rec
ord home run heights, O‘Doul rode
the bench. He had two more un
successful trials, one with the
Yankees and another with the Red
S.x, before forsaking the bhox any
making his mark as an outfield
slugger.
Playing altogether with nine
different clubs in four leagues,
O'Doul came up to the majors to
stay in 1928, After one season
with the Giants, be was tradeq to
the Phillies for rred Leach and
quickly began to rattle the fences
of Baker Bowl. He went to Brook-
Iyn in 1931 in a big deal but his
hitting failed to offset fielding de
fects and the Dodgers released him
to the Giants in 1933, along with
‘Lefty Watson Clark, in exchange
for Sam Leslie, hard-hitting first
sacker,
TRACK TO START AT
ATHENS HI MONDAY
Bowers to Coach Team;
Fine Schedule Is
Being Planned
By JACK REID
Track practice, according to an
announcement made yesterday aft
ernoon by Clayton Bowers, the for-
mer Georgia trackster who will
handle the WMaroon cinder team
this year, for all seniors and boys
not trying out for football will be
gin Monday afternoon along with
spring football.
Bowers, who was added to the
Athens High faculty last fall and
has acted as assistant coach both
in ° football and basketbal, will
succeed Mentor Sam Gardner, who
will probably devote his time to
the swimming and tennis teams
after the cage season ends. While
in the University Bowers ran the
high hurdles, and should make the
high school as good a track coach
as well as in football and basket
ball.
In addition to taking part in the
district meet, the Athens track
team will have a regular schedule
this year, meeting such cinder ag
gregations as Jefferson, Washing
ton, Richmond Academy, the Geor
gia Freshmen and others.
Last year the Maroon tracksters
won the district meet, but of that
championship team Charles Clem
ents, Thomas Elliott, Winston
Hodgson, Bobby Dottery and
Frank Bickerstaff will all be miss
ing this season.
In the 100 yard dash, as far as
returning lettermen are concerned,
Harold Cagle seems to be the best
bet. He will also perform in the
220. Walter Wilfong will take care
of the high jump and shot put
while Charlie Williams looms as
the best discuss man. Another vet
eran, George Pittard, will perform
in the hurdles and broad jump.
Coach Bowers alos plans to use
Rudy Guest, Robert Hodgson, th
Paddock, Grover Presnell and oth
ers also.

“What Jimmy loses in batting,”

GEORGIA GRIDDERS
GET ANOTHER HARD
SKIRVISH SATURDAY
Cavan Stars in Second
Scrimmage of Spring '
‘ Drills at Georgia
BY GUY TILLER, JR.
It took the rain to halt the Geor
gia Bulldogs yesterday afternoon
in the first scrimmage of the week,
for the defense certainly couldn’t
do it. Despite the bad weather,
with the rain beating a continual
feeling of discomfort, Coach Harry
Mehre's face literally glowed as
Jim Cavan, or some other back,
raced through a wide gap in the
line and then fell in behind splen
did downfielg blocking to step off
numerous long gains,
Four touchdowns were secored
despite the fact that the serim
mage was cut to 40 minutes and the
field was wet and the ball slippery.
However, the .picture was not all
cheeriness for many of the yearl
ings and veterans were missing on
blocking assignments and the com
petition was not any too @vere,
Ends Third Wieek
The scrimmage concludeg the
third week of the spring session
which will last until March 9 and
will reach its peak February 22
when the squad will be divided into
two teams, captained hy' John Mec-
Knight and John Bond, co-captains
from Toccoa, and will play a re
gular game.
Jim Cavan was the gloom chaser
of the afternoon when he reeled
off many gains. Although other
backs made longer jaunts the De
catur dasher annexeq yardage
when he was swamped by oppon
ents. Cavan whirled, side-stepped,
and fought his way through the
mass of opponents to remind one
much of George Morton, who cap
tained the Bulldogs in 1926. Maur
ice Green ran with new found pow
er to be ranked among the more
impressive. :
Green Scores One
The big Téxan scored one of the
four touchdowns when he snatched
one of Paul Causey’s aerial thrusts
cut of .the air anq raced forty
vards for a touchdown. Causey,
who incurred a slight ankle injury,
scored the first touchdown as the
Ceorgia backs paraded down the
field in short order, Lewis Young
made the second score on a short
buck after |(Cavan and Hartman
had figured largely in a march
down the field. Glenn Johnson,
Savannah speedster, round a small
orening over left tackle, dodged his
way through several tacklers, and
then fell in behind beautiful down
field Dblocking Iled by Charlie
Treadaway ang Crenshaw Bonner
io race 75 yards for the longest
run of the afternoon and a touch
aown.
While the backs were reaping
yardage and glory the linemen
were blocking niecersy. Crenshaw
Bonner, Spec Townes, and J. C.
Hall were the standouts in the for
ward wall. All three were paving
the way for the ball carriers and
their blocking downfield was very
impressive, “Brick” Stone, Athens
boy, saw service both on offense
and defense ang displayed that he
nad lost none of his ability although
he has undergone quite a lengthy
layoff. Stone should be of value
next fall.

bring Jim Londos, world’s wrest
ling champion, to Athens sometime

that the champ will accept the of
fers made him.

present, however. :
Harold B. Hodgson, commander
of the American Legion Post here,
said that the Legion was heartily
endorsing Laris’ efforts to bring
Londos here. If he wrestles here,
it will probably be held in Wood
ruff hall, with a percentage of the

ATHENG GIRLS WIN
FROM HARTWELL
Johnnie Sims Stars As
Maroons Win by One
Point, 27-26
Led by the brilliant Johnnie
Sims, the Athens High girls’ bas
ketball team defeated Hartwell's
sextet here last night, 27 to 26.
Sims shot 16 of her team’s
points, the last two coming in the
final minute of play, and giving
the Maroons a one-point lead,
which the Hart county lassies
could not overcome.
The entire Athens team played
excellent hall, and fought an up
hill battle all the way. Hartwell
led a tthe half, 14 to 13, and
maintained a slight lead through
out the third quarter.
Sims and Dorothy Bryant got
together, however, to account for
a few points about mid-way of the
final period, and went one point
ahead when the first mentioned
sank two free throws. Hartwell
did not stay behind long, how
ever, and two free throws, follow
ed closely by a field, goal, put
them three points to the good.
Sims, however, put Athens back
in the running with an overhead
shot, that left the Maroons one
point in the rear. Just before the
final whistle, she again found the
basket, and it proved to be the
margin of vietory.
