By .F M. WILLIAMS |
Hartwell and Bogart will rep
resent the Tenth district in the |
annual State High school basket-|
ball tournament to be held hm'fl‘
week after next. !
Hartwell scored an impressive!
vietory over Warrenton in the |
finals of the Class “B” trmrn:mwm!
in Thomson last night, 31 to 11
and Bogart ran away with l.(-uhl
at Watkinsville, 39 to 15. i
Paced by the lanky Jesse Maul-|
din, center, Hartwell had an easy
time with Warrenton, and uftmE
|tho first five minutes were never
behind in the ball game. Warren
ton started strong, and before]
the game had hardly commenced |
three field goals had been chalked
up in their favor,
Hartwell then put on the pres-(
sure, and after the first quarter
Warrenton failed to score a field
' goal, Mauldin had 12 points for
the winners, while Gunn was highl
for Warrenton, with %. The play
of George Whitaker, Hurtwel‘]
guard, was oujstanding, and he
kept Warrenton from scoring
lseveml times with his great
guarding.
Bogart Wins
Bogart, probably the best “C"
team to ever represent the dis
trict in the state meet, had no
trouble at all with Leah, and ran
up a score of 10 to 3 in the first
- quarter,
~ Hardin opened the scoring for
Leah, dropping a beautiful goa'
from the sidelines, but after then
it was all Bogart. Leah made only
five field goals during the entire
wgame.
The play of ‘“Fat” Crowe, Bo
gart guard, and O. J. Huff was
outstanding for the winners. Both
viad 10 points to their credit, and
played great floor games.
At the half, Bogart held a lead
of 19 to 8 and at the third quar
ter it was Bogart 23, Leah 9.
Howell Hollis and William.
Hamilton officiated in the game,‘
and continued their faultless ref
ereeing. The tournament this
year was probably the best offi

[ BY JACK REID
] IL.anky Ben Jones, the one-time
| Canton High flash who {thrilled
I]ucal fans in the State High school
basketball tournament not many
vears back, returned to his former
haunt, Woodruff Hall, last night
as the spearhead of a towering
!Tech quintet that collected 12
points from the field and the same
number from the charity stripe, to
turn back Georgia's Bulldogs, 22
jto 22,
From start to finish, the contest |
was by far the most thrilling stag
ed here this season, and the Jackets
were forced to overcome a 11-8
lead held by the Bulldogs at the
intermission. It was the inability
of the Georgia quintet to make foul
shots count that cost the game.
The Red and Black five gathered
8 goals from the field to 6 for Tech,
but were successful in only 6 foul
shots, while the invaders scoread
half of their points on free throws.
Of Tech's 6 field goals, Ben
Jones was responsible for 5, while
Bill Jordon, sub forward, collected
the other, The ex-Canton star also
headed the Jackets in foul ghoot
ing, making 4 points in the same
number of attempts,
Although Frank Johnson, stocky
forward, once more paced the Bull
dog offense with 10 points, it was
Harry Harman, veteran guard, who
was the real Georgia* star. Har
man played probably the greatest
defensive game of his entire bas
ketball career, and broke up at
tack after attack of the Atlanta

All-star teamg for the “B” and
“C divisions of the northern half
iof the Tenth District basketball
tournaments were selected Friday
|night, after the final games, by
a commitee composgd of four peo
ple who saw every game played
during the touruney-
The committee selected the five
men they considered to be out
standing in the tournament, and
did not consider performances be
fore the tournament.
There are some mighty good
ball-players who are not on the
team, but the five delected are
believed to be the outstanding
men in the tournament.
Each of the teams in the semi
finals of the “B” tournament
placed Wt least one man on the
team, while Hartwell, winner of
the upper half of the district,
placed two.
Jesse Mauldin, rangy center,
was chosen at center on the first
team, because of his spectacular
play in the final game. Robert
Hodgson, brilliant Athens star,
was believed to be the best cen
ter in the tournament by many
people. Hodgson was placed at
forward on the all star team.
Bogart placed two men on the
all-star “C” team, O. J. Huff and
W. A. Nunnally. The committee
regrets that “Fatty” Crowe and
lF‘rank Hammond, Bogart guards,
' could not be chosen, for both are
worthy of all-star recognition.
’Some players were shifted from
their regular positions, on the all
star teams.

CANDIDATES MONDAY
Between Fifty and Sixty
Candidates Expected Out
Tomorrow Afternoon
By JACK REID
Between fifty and sixty hopeful
gridiron candidates are expected
to answer Coach Howell Hollis'
spring football practice call at
Athens High school tomorrow aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock.
According to Hollis, the spring‘
session will last for at least five
weeks, with the initial scx'immage‘
coming in the second week of
practice. An attempt to schedule
a spring game with some team in
this section will again be made
by the.Maroon head mentor.
If the squad is too large for
Hollis and his assistant, Clayton
‘Bowers, to handle, a cut will be
made at the end of the first week.
Much work is needed to develop
madtrial for next year's Maroon
grid machine, which will face an
other hard schedule.
| Games with Elberton, Washing
iton, Monroe, - Decatur, LaGrange,
! Newnan and Gainesville have al
| ready been carded, and at least
'two more tilts will probably be
iflddod. The Elberton game Wwill
‘upen the season on September 28,
]while the Gainesville battle will
| probably close the season, as it
iwill be payed in Gainesville on
| Thanksgiving Day. '
| Although Hollis will lose many
| of last fall's outstanding perform
ers, Athens High seems in for
another good season on the grid
iron, barring injuries to certain
, key men.
| A great gap left in the center of
ithe line by the graduation of
IMm‘iOn Wilkes and John D. Sto
| rey will be hard to fill, and it may
'be that the Athens coach will be
forced to shift either a guard or a
tackle to that position.
Bobby Daniels, C. B. Guest and
Jimmy Cornelison give the team
| three dependable guards, and sev
leml other youngsters, including
Jack Davis and Jimmy Williams,
| winl probably Show much devel
'opment. Only Frank Crane is
i gone at the guard posts.
Plenty of tackles are on hand,
and it may be that the regular
center will be taken from the
Imany tackles on hand. Jack Me
'Donald, George Kimbrell, Wheefilet
]Hawkins, Richard Collins and
ILee Secrest are all expected to
:return for service. Kenneth Kay
will probably be back at end, but
Thomas . Gibson, Bud Embry and
Jimmy Stephenson have all con
cluded their high school careers,
and their departure will leave
Hollis short on flankmen. '
i Robert Hodgson and Rudy
*Guost will be almost impossible to
repiace -in the backfield, and the
loss of James Bailey, Dick Up
church and Dave Paddock will
lalsu be greatly felt. Ed Dottery,
Jack Cooper, Harold Tiller,
"‘Cooter" Bryant, J. K. Davis, Joe
Stone, and probably Grover Pres
nell, are the leading backfield
candidates, but it is doubtful if
next fall's backs will be as out
’standing as the backfield during
the '35 season.
' GELDING WINS
l CAMDEN, S. C.—(&)—Fugitivey
chestnut gelding owned by Mrs.
G. H. Bostwick of Westbury, L.

inlate in the principal event of
‘the annual Washington Birthday
