Week Away From Home
Al i ,
Having proven in games last |
week that it is no longer a sr\l-unl
for itg opponents, Atbens High's'
cage team plays two games this!
week . |
Tonight, at Statham, the local|
basketeers take on a formidable
Statham High quintet. The Ath
eng and Statham cirls’ will open
the double-header at 7:30 n’(-ln(:k.!
Friday mnight, at Lavonia, La-i

another twin engagement, with the
initial tilt beginning at 7:30 p. m.
Saturday night is open and no |
more games will be played unti)‘
next year.
Statham Tough '
Statham High, like Athens High,
has a home court which is very
small so go reports, both Statham
teams are tough on their own site
of battle.
Statham’s boys are the favorites,
despite the fact that Athens High
i 8 steadily improving as time
passes, Statham boasts of the dis-!
tinetion of being the only five so
far this year to conquer I!ogarl'
High, defending champion of the
glass “C” championship,
Coach Martha Nicholson’'s Alh-{
ens Migh sextet, undeeated in five|
contests, is the unanimous favor
ite. to prolong its perfect record.
Statham’'s girls, contrasting to thé
boys' squad, have ‘made an nnim-‘\
pressive record to date. It might
be interesting to note that Comer
High swamped Statham High's
sextet. Tuesday night, and Ath
ens High has previously beaten
Comer in easy fashion,
Secrest Carried :
Lee Secrest, handicappeq with
an injured finger nail, will likely
miss both games ‘this week-end,
but Coach Sam Gardner in taking
him on both trips just in case of |
emergency. |
Secrest’s ailment has caused
Coach Gardner to make his sec
ond alteration in the same num
ber of weeks sending Captain
Jimmie Hudson to the pivot post.
The former change took place
when Herschel Franklin, erstwhile
vegular guard, dislocated his shoul
der and Coach Gardner was forced
to play Harold Chandler, a for
ward by tradition, at g guard
berth.
Players making the two trips
will be John Woods, William Flan
agan, J. K. Davis, Lamar Bryant,
forwwards; Jimmie Hudson, Lee
Secrest, centers; Pope Holliday
Jack McDonald, Harold Chandler.
and Kenneth Kay, at guards,
Probable starting line-up so:"

first quarter the score was 2 to 1,
at the half 8 to 7, and at the end
of the third period, 15 to 14.
However, in the final quarter,
the Athens team had an easy

an advantage that the Winterville
quintet never could overcome.
Loring White led the Athens
attack with 13 points. Noah Da

Athens Rotary Club Hon
ors High School Football
Team at Luncheon
Members of the Athens High
school football team were honor
ed at a luncheon by the Rotary
club yesterday at the Georgian
hotel,
The record of the Maroon eleven,
which was almosy perfect during
the past season, was praised in
short, informal talks. There was
no main speaker, but several peo
ple called upon by President D.
Weaver Bridges paid tribute to the
team and its coaches.
Principal E. B. Mell, who Mr.
Bridges called the greatest “full
bhack” in history ot the school, said
he had never seén a greater spiritl
among a group of boys than this
year's Athens High team display
ed. He said he wasn’'t a fullback,
but he would like to go on record
as the leading “cheer leader” be-%
cause he would always cheer teams
on, as long ag they were like those
in the past. |
Abit Nix, a member of the Ro-l
tary club, said Rotarians were,
proud of the Athens team this year
as well as in past seasons,
“You are the sons of the leaders
in our civic affairs, sons of Ro
tarians, and sons of our friends,”
Mr. Nix said. f
“We might as well be frank about
this thing, the Rotary club has
more interest in the high school
teams than in Georgia teams, be
cause you are the boys who will
bhe our leaders in yearg to come,”
he said.
Bach member of the team, coach
ing staff, and other visitors were
introduced by the host. Captain
George Kimbrell, who played end
on the team, was the only player
called upon to make a ealk.
Forrest “Spec” Towns, world's
Olympic champion high hurdler,
was a guest of Dr. Ralph Goss, and
made a few remarks. Towns was
a member of the 1936 Georgia
foothall team.
Bogart Basketeers
Play Watkinsville
BOGART, Ga.—Bogart meets
Watkinsville in a ' double-headar
basketball tilt here Friday night
at 7:30 o’clock. This is the sec
ond of a series of two games, the
first two being won by Bogart on
the Watkinsville court several
weeks ago.
With their record marred by
only one defeat, at the hands of
the strong Statham outfit, the
locals will be seeking their sixth
victory of the season. The local
girle have lost two games thes
far but are slowly rounding into
better form.
This game is the second largest
crowd-drawer of the season, sur
rassed only by Statham. Was
kinsville and Bogart as well as
other sections of the county really
turn oust for this annual contest.
The loeal girls will probably
line up with Huif, Whitehead and
Dean at forwards, Watson, Brad
bury and Southerland at guards.
1t is reported that Betty Malcom
of Watkinsville, a veteran guard,
will be baek in uniform for the
contest.
Granville Retired;
Rivalry With Bold
Venture Unsettled
NEW YORK — (#) — The ques
tion of which is the better horse,
Bold Venture or Granville, never
will be answered.
Hopes that the two great turf
stars would take ‘up their rivalry
next year where they left off in
the Preakness last spring vanished
with William Woodward's announ
cement that Granville would be re
tired to the stud at Kenneth M.
Gilpin’s Kentmere farm at Boyce
Va.
Bold Venture, representing Mor
ton L. ‘Schwartz, whipped Gran
ville by the slimest of margins in
the Preakness after taking the
measure of J. E. Widener's Bre
vity in the Kentucky Derby—the
race in which the Woodward ace
tossed his rider soon after leaving
the barrier.
l The Schwartz eolt went wrong
isoon afterwards with the result
| Granville never got a chance to
| atone for the defeat, one of three
Iby nose margins in eleven starts
