By DAN MAGILL, JR. l
Hartwell High turned back Ath
ene High's attempt to make a
comeback in the final quarter here
Friday night and won by the
score 26 to 20 to capture the two
game series, The Nancy Harts
won in Hartwell several weeks
ago, 22 to 20. |
Hartwel] led 13 to ¢ at the half,
but with five minutes left to play,
Athens came within one point of
evening the count, 18 to 19. The
powerful Hartwell quintet rallied
here and made six straight points
while Athens tallied one field
goal.
Jesse Maulden, star Hartwell
center. was high point player of
the tilt, making 12 points, four
more than his nearest competitor.
Robert Horne of Athens. Jack
Reid, of Athens, and Brown, visit
ing forward, were also offensively
outstanding with six points apiece.
Rudy Guest, star guard and cap
tain of the Maroons, sprained his
left ankle in the first quarter and
was forced to leave the contest.
He will not be in the Athens line
up until the district tourney be
gins, and it is very doubtful if he
wil] be available even then.
To make it a clean sweep, the
Hartwell sextet trimmed the Ath
ens girls, 21 to 17, in their second
meeting of the year. Hartwell
won, 21 to 20, in their previous

BEATEN BY NOSE 1N
80-YARD HURDLES
Sam Allen Equals World
Record as He Beats
Towns in Close Race
BY ALAN GOULD
(Associated \Press Sports Editor)
MAINSON SQUARE GARDEN,
NEW YORK'— (#) — Joe Mangan
of the New York A, C, former
Cornell university track captain,
came from behind Saturday night
in a blazing finish to whip the
great Glenn Cunningham, world’s
record holder, in the Wanamaker
Mile, feature event of the annual
Milrose A. A. Indoor Carnival.
Mangan as well as Gene Ven
zke, Pennsylvania, passed Cun- |
ningham in the last few strides asi
the winner was clocked in 4 mlnu-i
tes, 11 seconds, ;
Mangan ran the greatest and
fastest race of his life to beat the|
king of the milerg in a thrilling
finish that had a capacity crowd
of 17,000 track fans on their feet
velling witdly.
Wins on Finish
The slim boy from Rutland, Vt,
wearing the colors of the New York
A. C. stuck to Cunningham’s
heels for ten of the 11 laps and
outsprinted the Kansan -as they
raced off the last turn for a 20-
vard dash to the tape. |
Mangan passed the faltering
Cunningham within the last three
strides and fmished a scant two
feet i fiont of the fast closing
Venzke, who was crcther two feet
nhead of the record helder.
Venzle, beatinz Curuingham for
the first time in three years, was
clocked in 4:11.1 and Cunningham
in 4:11.2. Thus only one fifth of
a second separated the trio as they
whirled across the finish mark.
Second in Heat
Bobby Packard, national junior
200 meter outdoor champion from
the Uhniversity of Georgia, came
through in his qualifying heat of
the 60-vard dash, running second
to KEd O'Sullivan, New York Curb
Exchange flash. The southerner
was shutout in the semi-finals,
haowever, winding up third behina
13d Siegel of New York and O’'Sul
livan.
O'Sullivan, conqueror of Eulace
Peacock of Temple earlier in the
season, stepped off the distance in
6.5 seconds to beat Packard by a
stride in the preliminary test. In
the semi-finals the Goorgia sprint
er was away slow, pulled up near
ly even at the three quarter mark
and then fell back again as Seigel
and O'Sullivan hit the tape al
most abreast in 64 seconds.
The final of the 60-yard inita
tion saw Sulace Peacock, Temple’s
Negro ace, yield to the closing rush
of Ta Seigel, New York veteran !
Off to a good start Segel shook off l
the national 100 meter titleholdet |
after 40 vards and win hy two feet
in 6.3 seconds, one tenth of a sece
ond short of the indoor record.
Allen Beats Towns
~ The slender Oklahoma Baptist
timber toppe, Sam Allen, equalled
the world indoor record of 7.6 sec«
onds as he scored an eyelash vic
tory over Forrest Towns, sensa
tional Georgian, in the final of the
60 yard h'gh hurdles final.
Allen wag in front most of the
| way but Townes, a great finisher,
nearly caught the Oklahoman as
they hit the tape shoulder to shoul
ider.
Allen’'s time equalled the indoor
mark set by John Collier of the
Boston A. A., forme. Brown uni

Georgia Star Praised By
Coach Stegeman; Head-l
ed for Top of Ladder
BY F. M. WILLIAMS
Atheng today has another ac
complishment to be proud of.
The newest achievement of a
man from Athens is “Spec” Towns’
miraculeus running in the 60-yard
high hurdle race at the Milrose
A. A. track meet in New York last
night, an event in which he came
second,
So close was the race, accord
ing to radio reports, that nobody
but the three judges had any idea.l
who had won. Both Sam Auen,l
ithe winter, and Towns tied the’
world’s record for the race, at 7.5
'secondl. ‘
They ran so close together, did
these two great high hurdlers..
it was impossible to make any
variation in the time of the race,
In fact, a motion picture of the
finish could turn the victory around
and give it Towns, |
Praised by Stegeman
Coach H., J. Stegeman, athletic
director at the University, was the
first to give praise to the slender
Augustan, who never ran a hurdle
race in hig life until he entered the
|University of Georgia three years
ago. He is a junior at Georgia.
“Spec must have been running
some in New York last night, for
i radio reports show he pushed this
Irenow Allen to the very limit”
Coach Stegeman said. Incidentally,
Allen ig rated the No. 1 hurdler
in the country.
{ Weems Baskin, assistant to
lstegeman as track coach, could not
be contacted for a statement, but
{,\'ou can wager your last dime the
man who is responsible for Towns
was very highly pleased. It
iwas Baskin who first saw possibi
llities of a hurdling star in Towns,
and it was Baskin who taught him
every thing the Augustan knows—
which is plenty.
Last night was the second time
in his life that Towns had ever
raced on an indoor track, and the
first time he has ever run in a race
drawing such stars as the Milrose
lgames. %
First 60-Yard Race
| It was also the first time he hams
ever run a 60-yard high hurdle
race. That, friends, ig the mira=
culous thing about the race, Towns
"is a fast finisher, and in 120
vard races, he generally comes
from behind on the last few hurd
iles to win. He did it in New Or
leans to win the Sugar Bowl clas
’sic. running fourth at halfway, but
winning in the last few yards.
A 60-yard race does not :give
“Spec” time to get really underway
and if the race last night had been
longer, we will always believe the
announcer would have said “Towns,
of Georgia, first, Allen, OKkla
homa Baptist, second,” instead of
the reverse. 1
Anyway, the Georgian made an
impression, and Athenians and the
Umiversity of Georgia should feel
proud of him, for in another year
