GEORGIA DEFEATS FLORIDA
MARTIN
THRILLING CONTEST
Maroons Hold Lead for
Most of Game But
Weaken at Last ;
SRS ———— \
By DAN MAGILL, JR. |
The greatest first half team in
north Georgia, but one of the
worst second half teams of the
Tenth district, Athens High, losi
its ninth contest of the season
here last night to Martin Institute
of Jefferson, 23 to 19.
It was the eighth occasion this
season that a team had come from
behind and won, and also the sec
ond time that Jefferson had de
feated the Maroons, the former
score being, 19 to 15. |
Athens started off like a whirl
wind with Robert Horne and Jack |
Reid 'scoring when they pleased.
Ag a result Athens led 3 to 2 at
the initial quarter; held a com
manding lead at the half, 12 to 3
and efill maintained the advant.
age at the end of the third stanza
by a margin of three points, 18 tc
15.
But Martin staged a comebach
in the final period and managed
to hold the Tenth district champs
to only one foul shot while they
were making eight points. |
Captain Morrig Bryan, of the
visitors, was respontible for Jes
ferson’s victory, being high point
player of the game with nin¢
points. Although Bryan was no’
in the game when Jefferson forged
ahead into the lead, he had ac
counted for three field goals ir
succession just before being eject
ed from the contest late in the
fourth quarter with Captain Rud:
Guest of Athens, because of un
necessary roughness.
Athens High attempted thres
free shots and mnde all three gopd
for a hundred per cent, Jefferson
attempted eleven foul shots ané
completed only three. The game
was unusually rough @s nine fouls
‘were called on Athens and three
chalked against Jefferson.

Mickey Radutzky Scores
Easy Victory Over Sam
Whitwell in Feature
BY F. M. WILLIAMS
Scoring a major upset, the Uni
versity of Georgia boxing team
took a 6 to 2 decision from the
Florida glovemen here last night,
From beginning to end, one of the
largest crowds ever to pack Wood
ruff hall for boxing matches, was
kept on its feet.
Florida won only one match, the
first, but gained draw decisions in
the 169 pound class and the light
heavyweight, All the other deci
sions went to Georgia.,
| Despite the mighty slugging of
members of both teams, not a
’knof‘kout was scored, Bob Me-
Mullen, 118-pound Floridian, and
’Mlckey Radutzky, Georgia walter
weight, came nearest to scorving
knockouts, but mneither could put
their opponent away for keeps.
The Radutzky-Sam Whitwell
fight, heralded as a college “na
tural,” was probably the most ex
citing of the night, although the
heavyweight match between “Red”
Milton and Sherwood Jones, was
chock full of action,
Radutzky, suffering from a bruis
ed vertebrae, fought one of the
coolest bouts of hig career. He
was not hit a solid blow through
out the three-round match, and
was never in danger. If the Geor
gia captain had not hit his foe a
time, he would have won on-points,
so often did he make Whitwell
miss,
Starting slowly, the fight gave
every indication of being boresome
for the first minute of the opening
round. Suddenly, however, about
midways of the initial round, Mick
ey slashed a left to the jaw that
set ‘Whitwell on the canvaa,
Again in the third round, Radut
zky caught his opponent with a
lightning punch, this time a right,
and again Whitwell went down. A
few seconds before the bout was
over, Radutzky c¢lipped his foe with
another right, and he went down,
and was still on the canvas when
the bell rang.
Douglas Epperson, stocky little
129-pounder, used a gwift left jab
to easily earn his victory over Roy
Echols, of Florida.
The heavyweight fight turned
out to be a slugging bee between
Milton and Jones, and Milton
managed to outlast the lanky Flor
idian. It was easily the Georgia
boy's fight.
The gummary?
118-pound class—Mob McMullen,
Florida, won decision over Dave
Barrow, Georgia.
129-pound cass—Douglas Epper
son, Georgia, outpointed Roy Ech
cls, Florida. !

Georgia, won decision over George
Anderson, Florida,
149-pound class—“Mickey* Rad
utzky, Georgia, won decision over
Sam Whitwell, Florida.
159-pound class—Alex Stevens,
Georgia, outpointed Jess Ferrell,
Florida. %
i 169-pound class—Bud Haynes,
iGeorgla, and Bob Livesey, Florida,
fought to draw.
Light heavyweight class—Buster
Isenberg, Georgia, and Paul Brock,
Florida, fought to draw.

Georgia, defeated Sherwood Jones,

f ATLANTA.—(®—A last minute |
| field goal by a substitute forward
ggu\'a Vanderbilt a hard-earned 42';\
{to 40 victory over Georgia Tech |
| in a bitterly fought cage diel here
| Saturday night. .
It was a tense, fast breaking
battle from the start. With only
{a few minutes left to play, Ben
{ Jones and Whacy Hbder Jdropped
ffield goals in for Tech to give
che Jackets a one-point advant
gage. Then_ Tech fouled and Wat

‘at 40-all with a minute left to
play. ;
Captain Ben Jones of the Techk
team, playing at forward, scored
a total of twenty-two points, fifl\f!
teen on field goals. 4
thinks Mickey Radutzky, the Geor
gia welterweight and captain, - is
probably the outstanding man he
has - tutored.
“Radutzky is the best all around
fighter. He is smarter, better de
fensively, and he can wield a wal
lop. like a heavyweight,” Coach
Jones said.
Mickey, incidentally iy fighting
the hardest fight of his career right
now, for he has been advised by
physicians to never enter the ring
again., A bruised vertebrae in his
neck. is causing him much trouble,
but it is likely the glim New York
er will <keep right on laying ’‘em
on the canvass until he fipgishes at
Georgia.
Going. back through the six years
since he succeeded Captain Stan
ley Bachman as boxing coach,
“Jonesy” can remember many boys
who were great fighters, There
was Jack Sullivan, who used to
captain Georgia fighters, and was
the champion of the South in the
welterweight division, the same
class that Radutzky rules now. He
remembers Fielding Russell, the
heavy-hitting little* featherweight,
who won his division in the south
ern tournament. Fred Birchmore,
Bobby Hooks and many otherg are
rated first class performers by
Coach Jones, L

By JACK REID
Efforts of Florida’s guards to
hold stocky Frank Johnson, Geor
gia’s star forward and leading
!Southeastm'n scorer, in check, ut
‘l(’l']y failed here last night as the
Bulldogs gained another notch
toward the conference tourna
ament at Knoxville by trimming
the ’'Gators for the fourth time
'this season, 27-22.
! After coming through with 22
?points in the series opener Fri
'da_\'. the Georgia co-captain hit
the hoops for 15 more tallies to
head the Bulldog's offensive show
,last ngiht. It must be said for
{ the Florida guards that they tried
for all they were worth, but their
efforts were to no avail. Johnson
scored 10 of his points on field
ILgnals, and added the other five
‘| from the charity stripe.
i Richards Star Also
i Lee Richards, sophomore for
' ward who replaced Jimmy Moore
leul'ly in the game, was equally
| responsible for the Georgia vic
| tory, and from Johnson’s offensive
| showing. The blonde Decatur
’)'uuth presented some of the most
| effective passing ever displayed im
| Woodruff hall, despite the faot
| that he failed to come through
l_with any points. Another sophoe
" more, Olin Thompson, also turned
jsin a fine game in a relief role.
‘| \ Floyd Christian, 'Gator guard,
| turned in an offensive showing
Isurpassed only by that of 'John
|_sun. Six field goals and three
successful foul shots gave Chris
tian a total of 13 points and sec
ond scoring honors of the even:
jing.
|! "Gators Grab Lead
; Florida snatched a 7-2 lead in
| the first few minutes of the init-
I jal half, but gradually yielded to
Ithc- Bulldog attack that was slow
|in getting started, and at the
[half-timv the local quintet held
ithe better end of a 13-8 score.
{ Once ahead, {he Red and Blagl
| team turned back every Florida
i attempt to even up the score, and
