PAGE EIGHT SPOTLIGHTING SPORTS 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. Athens High Wins From Elberton ‘s’ Friday, 34 to 19 By JACK REID The lack of an offense and too much Walter Wilfong, proved to be the main reason that Athens High Maroons dzsfeated ' Elberton High cagers here Friday night by a 34 to 19 score. i+ Wilfong was practically the en tre Athens offense in the first half and left the game in the final Wrter with 15 points to his wredit. John Stegeman secured 9 points, mostly in the final quar ter, to come second in the local's seoring. _ Mitting the hoops for 10 points, Porward Power led the visitors scoring.

Georgia Fighters l Lose to Clemson; ’ ' 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 Australia and New Zealand, but when they were introduced from England, they multiplied very rap idly, until now one of these is lands is estimated to have at least 10,000 of g red deer. Sl R R L g Promoter Laris Calls Off Card for Tuesday; Johnny Walker Is !l Tuesday night's boxing card has been called off, Promoter Alex l.aris announced Saturday. because of the illness of Johnny Walker, who was scheduled to fight Gra ham Batchelor "in the main fight of the card. ? Whlker telegraphed Promoter Laris Saturday afternoon saying he was ill, and could not fight, but said he could send a substitute. lL.aris wisely choose not to accept a sub for Batchelor, preferring to wait until Walker was well. Laris saig that the same card as he ‘had arranged for this week would probably be staged in the arena next Tuesday night. It should be one of the best that has ever been held here, with several good fights carded.

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. FLORIDA TANKMEN WIN CLEMSON COLLEGE, S.

GPRING FOOTRALL STARTS AT ALK, First Practice Will Be Held Monday, Coach Hollis Announces By JACK REID Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock the Athens High school football candidates will assemble for the first spring football drill of the vear under Coach Howell Hollis, a former Georgia football star. Clayton Bowers, + the assistant coach; is not expected to be able to help much with spring drills as most of his time will be devoted to track team, which he will coach this season. Most all of the boys who made letters last fall and who will not graduate are expepted to answer hte call tomorrow, but several vet eran faces such as Rudy Guest, Marion Wilkes, Robert Hodgson, Dave Paddock, Grover Presnell and others, are being excused for various reasons. Guest, Hodgson, Presnell and Wilkes are all on the basketball squad and, though Presnell and Wilkes are éxpected to report fol lowing the end ¢f the cage season, the first two are planning to go out for track, which Dave Paddock will de also. About all that will be done to morrow will be the issuing of uniforms, exercises and possibly a short drill or so. Among boys who are expected to come out this spring are John D. Storey, Mar ion Wilkes, Bobby Daniels, C. B. Guest, Lee Secrest, James Bailey, Grover Presnell, Ed Dottery, Jack Davis, Joe Stone, Louis Trousdale, Dick Upchurch, and others. Foxx’s Batting Will- Not Be As Good This Year, Says Cochrane FORT MYERS, Fla, — (#) — Jimmy Foxx will make a great catcher but it will hurt his batting, believes Mickey Cochrane, former team-mate of Jimmy, Cochrane was here Saturday visiting the spring training quar ters of the Philadelphia Athletics. “What Jimmy loses in batting,” said Cochrane, ‘‘he should make up in giving confidence to Connie’'s great bunch of youngsters. If Mack’s’ pitchers can start out as strong as they ended last season, the Athletics may break into first division.” VOLS ALMOST WIN KNOXVILLE, Tenn-— () —An undefeated conference record was all but smeared here Saturday night as the University of Ken tucky was barely able to defeat the University of Tennessee's sophomaores, 38 to 36. With the lead changing numer ous times the Big Blue team from Kentucky was out-payed and out fought throughout the game. It was not until the final seconds of play that Louis, forward, sank a long shot from the sidelines that decided the game. CLEMSON WINS CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C.— (AP)—Continuing their winning streak, the Clemson Tigers turned back a scrappy Mercer University basketbal]l five here Saturday night 50 to 20.

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. Georgia Swimmers Victorious Friday Over Furman Team The Universityy of Georgia tank team displayed great form in its first swimming meet of the year here Friday afternoon, splashing to a bH3-22 vietory over the Furman mermen in Memorial Hall pool. The Georgia team won all but two first places, 440 and 220, with both of these being taken by J.

Alex Laris, boxing and wrestling promoter told the Banner-Herald Saturday night that there was no thing definite to announce at the 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 gate receipts going to the park and playground project, 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.
