GARDNER MAKES TWO SHIFTS IN ATHENS HIGH LINEUPS YESTERDAY
FFFORT TO STRIKE
WINNING FIVE. MADE
BY ATHENS MENTOR
Shifts Brought About By
Defeat Saturday Night by
Dacuia Quintet
Seeking a winning quintef; Sam
Gardner, Athens High school
cage coach, yesterday afternoon
made two shifts of positions as he
sent his Maroon squad through a
lengthy drill.
Jimmy Hudson, who has been
playing guard this season, was
changed back to forward, while
Jack McDonald was switched from
forward to guard, Neither boy
had been able to get going at
their respective posts, and the
change was expected to prove
wise. |
Horne Is Absent l
A bad ankle kept Robert Horne,
regular left forward, out yester
day. Horne has been having trou
ble with his weak ankle all the
year, and it is hoped that the brief
rest will help him to be in shape
for this week's games.
Raymond Mitchell, who suffered
a deep gash in his right eyelid
again:t Washington last Friday,
was in uniform yesterday, and
took part in all of the work except
the brief serimmage. The eye in
jury is expected to Kkeep the
guard out of rough work for about
a week. b
Long Scrimmage Today
Dith the remainder of the
squad in good physical trim,
WCoach Gardner will probably hold
a lengthy scrimmage this after
noon and Wednesday, with only a
light drill being held Thursday.
Many players were unusually
Jate in reporting this season, and
hard workouts are on schedule for
about the next two or three
weeks. After that time, Coach
Gardner will probably shorten up
the practice sessions in order to
‘have the Red and White cagers
in fine shape for the district tour
ney.
Two Hard Games
Two hard games are on sched
ule for this week-end, with the
local five slated to invade Hart
well Friday night, while Watkins
ville will come here Saturday.
The Athens-Hartwell game will |
be the first meeting of the yea.rl
between the two schools, but the,
rangy and veteran Nancy Hart‘
team is expected to offer the Ma
roons a tough assignment. In a
previous meeting with Watkins~
ville, the Atheng hoys dropped a}
one-point decision in the final 30
seconds of play, which is enough
to insure that Saturday’s battle
should be very close.
? Girls to Play
The Athens :extet is also sched
uled to play two games this week
end, facing Hartwell and ‘Wat
kinsville Jassies on the same
nights as the boys' games.
Coach Martha Nicholson sent
her girls’ squad through a long
workout yesterday, but will not
hold another practice until Wed
nesday afternoon.
Colbert High Upsets
Carnesville Teams
In Games Saturday
'COLBERT, Ga—The fast cage
tdams of Colbert High school tip
ped the biggest dope bucket in the
district here Saturday might when
they trounced the girls and boys
from Carnesville by scores of 8 to
4 in the girls game, and 23 to 18
in the boys affair.
The locals had been working
hard for the past several weeks in
preparation for the contest with
Carnesville. They well remember
that last vear they represented
their class in the state tournament
and their teammate, Chatham, was
gelected as an all-state guard.
Hitchcock, who ran with Chatham
last year, is out to lead his team
to a great success this year,
In the girls’ contest the locals
did not permit their opponents to
peore a field goal in the entire
game. Mary Loden and Irma Ar
rendale were high scorers with
three points each. This was the
first win of the season for the lo
cal girls and the first loss for the
Carnesville girls,

Braddock, Louis Brought
| Boxing Back, Says Foster
Executive Secretary N. B.
A., Suggests “Czar” of
Boxing Be Named
(This is the tenth of a serles
written especially for the As
sociated Press by National
sports leaders on results of 1935
and prospects for 1936.)
| BY EDWARD C. FOSTER
(Exscutive Secretary, National
| Boxing Association—Written For
| The Associated Press.)
~ PROVIDENCE, R. I, —(#)— Twv
men, James J. Braddock and Joe
Louis, have caused tremendously
increased interest in professional
boxing and led thousands of men
and women all over the United
States to talk about the game
though perhaps they've never even
seen a boxing glove.
Although Louis’ sensational ex
pliots during 1935 must be reckoned
the outstanding |development ot |
the year, Braddock’s stunnlng*‘
defeat of Max Baer for the heavy
weight championship can be rank-‘
ed a close second among the causes
for boxing’s revival. This entirely
unexpected result wag of tremen
dous value to the game for it show
ed at once that a man with a
strong physique and good heart,
will grounded in the fundaments
of boxing, always has a chance.
If, as seems likely now, Louls
and Braddock are matched for the
title this year, the “gate” should
run well over $1,000,000 and bring
such a rush of customers as no
stadium in the country could.ac
lcommodate.
‘ Practically every division pro
duced new championg during the
| past year and it seems as though
the turn-over will continue with
out interruption during 1936.
| John Henry Lewis, Negro fromi
‘| the Far West, decisively defeated
| Bob Olin for the light heavyweight
\lchamplonship but how long he can
| hold it in the face of such chal
']lengers as Jock MecAvoy, Al Mc
| Coy and Tony Shucco is doubtful.
[The present middleweight cham
pion, Babe Risko, is being pushed
hard by Freddie Steele and Lou
Brouillard, a former titleholder, and
| Tony Canzoneri may be hard press
ed to hold the lightweight crown
against Lou Ambers or Wesley
IRamey. Barney Ross, however,
’seems to stand alone among the
welterweights,
| Praise should be given Freddy
Miller, featherweight champion,
who defended his title not only in
Burope but in this ‘country against
all comers. Why a few misguided
commissiong should take it upon
]tbemuelves to endeavor to relieve
Miller of the title he won so justly
and fairly is beyond conception.
‘ Turing 1985 he had, of course, a
few lamentable fiascos in boxing,
caused primarily by poor match
|makers and aided and abetted by
j'the boxing commissions who allow
f‘such matches to be put on. |
i The time is ripe now for ap
l pointment of a “ezar” of boxing, |
| similar to the positions of Judge
Ll Lancis in baseball and Will Hays
|in the moving picture industry.
Such a step ig urgently needed for
‘the protection of boxing fans, as
‘well as of promoters and boxers.

capacity attendance of 20,000, !
Louis failed to show any signs;
of being off form in yesterday'si

‘two solid reounds, then finally
(caught up with Tom Jones, who
‘devutedi hig efforts to retreating, in]

to give Louis final examination to

Teams Friday Night
WATKINSVILLE, Ga. — Wat
kinsville and Bogart—the two out

Both Bogart teams came out on

Friday.
The game between the twg quin

earned a two-point victory in the
earlier meeting in Bogart.
