Athens
ATHENS SIX LOSES
FRST OF - SEASON;
LOCAL QUINT WINS
Girls Score Is 23-18; Ath
ens Boys Win in Two
Extra Periods, 14-12
By BOBBY BROWN
Banner-Herald Correspondent
ELBERTON, Ga.—ln two of the
most thrilling games ever played
on the local court, Athens and El
berton High schools divided a
doubleheader basketball program
here last -night before a capacity
audience.
Athens’ previously undefeated
sextet put up 4« great fight in the
opening contest, but dropped a
close decision to the untamed las
sies, 283 to 8. In the finale, the
Athens boys were extended to two
extra periods before taking the
measurc of the FElberton quintet,
14 to 12,
With the score knotted at the
end of the game, 12-12, the Elber
ton and Athens hoys staged one
of the greatest battles ever seen
on this court in the two dramatic
cver-time periods.
Neither was able to score in the
first extra period, and it looked
as though the second would find
the quintets still deadlocked
when the erimson figure of Johnny
Woods suddenly faked to the
right, cut sharply back to ‘the
left and went under the goal like
a bullet for a perfect snowbird
and the ball game.
Thirteen fouls were called on
Athens and seven on Elberton.
Herschel Franklin, Athens center,
went out in the last quarter via
the foul route.
The brilliant play of Tonsley,
sharp-shooting forward, and the
defensive showing turned in by
the local girls were responsible
for- the Elberton victory in the
preliminary. Although not in the
starting lineup, Tucker, sub for
ward, kept Athens in the running
with seven points. Mary Darden
gathered six.

GRANT TURNG BACK
“laT RANKING BUDGE
Atlanta Midget Complete-I
ly Outclasses Budge ini
Straight-Set Win [
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — () —
Bryan M. (Bitsy) Grant of At
lanta made the country’s top
ranking tennis player, Donald
Budge, look like a novice Satur
day as he trimmed him 6-2, 7-5,
6-0 and won the Miami Biltmore
tennis tournament. !
The freckle-faced redhead from
Oakland, Calif., a heavy hitter,
couldn’t get 5 ball vast his little
opponent and his usually severe
serve was gone - comapletely. Budge
won his own service only four
times during the match.
In that love sef, after double
faulting on game point at the
start, Budge appeared to acknowl
edge he was bvaten and many a
played below Grant's no. 3 nation
al ranking conld have wop it.
The openir.g set Bitsy ran to
5-1, after Budg~ took the first
game on his own serve, before the
westerner, crowdinz the net, eked
out another game. Then Grant,
blasting away from the baseline
with several shots that were acres,
took the next one. On set point
Budge’s return caught the tape
atop the net and fell back on his
own side. ;
In thc second Budge double
faulted twice in the first game.
They won each other's services to
2-all and Bitsy took the next two
‘games on deep, well-placeq driyes.
Budge came up to a 5-4 lead, how
ever, principally on the strength
of his net play and Grant settled
down to a dogg~d fight. He was
behind 15-40 in the tenth same on
his own service but eaptuced four
straight points. .The next two
games, fought from the baslines,
were Grant’s on his steadiness.
Budge and hig partner, Arthur
Hendrix, of Lakeland, Ila., con
tinued thir doubles sweep in the
quarter-finals, eliminating Dick
‘Morris of Orlando and Mac Mic-
Allister of Miami, 6-2, 6-3. Frankie
Parker of Milwaukee and Gardner
Mulloy of Miami defeated Elwan
Cooke of Lios Angeles and Vernon
Marcum of Orlando, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
On the other side of the bracket,
Grant and Wayne Sabin of Los
Angeles disposed of John Hendrix
of Lakeland, Fla., and Marion
Reese of Atlanta 6-3, 6-4, while
Richardo Morales and Gustavo
Vollmer, the Cuban team, defeated
Charles Harris of Palm Beach and
Carroll Turner of Miami, 6-1, 6-1.
Semi-finals and final in the
doubles will be played today.

BOGART WINS FROM
UNION POINT 32-12
Vonceil Huff Stars as Bo
gart Girls Win in Upset,
18to 12
By HINTON BRADBURY
! BOGART, Ga.—The cage teams
‘uf Bogart High school looked far
more impressive here Friday night
than they have at any time this
‘season as the girls defeated
Union Point, one of the strongest
’teams in the district, by a score
of 18 to 12, and the boys won
!frum the Union Point five by &
is(ure of 82 to 12.
Vonceil Huff, heretofore a se:s
'ond stringer, led the girls to vic
| tory when she played less than
| two quarters and accounted for
inin(‘ points, exactly the same
i number the rest of her mates ac
lruunted for during the entir:
Irontest. Huff was sent into the
if-;‘dfl](‘ just after the half, at which
! time the score was tied, and im
mediately accounted for two goals
in as many minutes and the game
| was in the bag. The contest was
unusually rough.
Watson, Southerland and Brad
bury. local girl guards, did some
of their best work of the season
as thev held +4he fast forwards
!t‘rom Union Point at bay. Geneva
Huff accounted for six points and
Whitehexd had three, while Dean
failed to tally. For the Ilosers
Tuggle was by far the best with
six. McKinley was best defens
' ively.
in the boys’ contest Coach Gar
ner used the unlucky number of
13 players but all the luck was
good. The first team was used for
only eight ruinutes, at which timo
they accounted for 12 points, while
the opponents failed to score. The
count at the half was 23 to 3 and
after that point the water boy
and all his little playmates were
sent into the game, Bbogart still
held ithe Union Pointers to three
field goals.

TILDEN'S TROUPE
~ HERE (ON THURSDAY
Vincent Richards Will
Appear With “‘Greatest
Player of All”
By DAN MAGILL, JR.
The greatest tennis piayer of all
time, Big Bill Tilden, will pay the
Classic City a visit this Thursday
when he leads his troupe of inter
nationally known netwielders intc
Woodrufr Hall for several exhibi
tion matches.
Tilden, over forty years in age,
is still the best showman in the
game today. Despite his age Big
Bill ean still beat all professionals
with ease except Fred Perry and
Ellsworth Vines.
Last summer, it will be recalled,
that Tilden and combpany gave
Athens tennis fans their greatest
thrills. Tilden beat Bruce Barnes
in a singles match and then team
ed with young Jimmig MecClure
former Uniwed States Table Ten
nis champicn, to defeat Barnes
and Alfred Chapin, ir., in a doubles
match. Mrs. Ethel Bernhardt Ar
nold, foremost professional lady
played, was also on the program,
defeating with ease McClure, 6-1
and 6-1.
Barnes, Mrs. Arnold and Mc-
Clure will not returp 'rhursday,
but Tilden +will bring w%h him
just as good as players in Vin
cent Richards, Taro Satoh, Mar
tin Plea and Chapin. Richards,
like Tilden, is a veterap of net
wars. Satoh and Plea are former
Davis Cup stars for Japan and
France, respentively.
Last summer Woodruff Hall was
almost completely packed when
Tilden’s troupe &ppeared. It is
very likely that the record attend
ance of last summer will be shat
tered Thursday.

Younger Dean Applies
For Reinstatement on
Active Cardinal List
~ ST. LOUIS — (#) — Paul Dean’s
arm must have rounded into shape,
at least to his own satisfaction,
before the St. Louis Cardinal pit
cher has applied for reinstatement
on the active player list.
The younger of the Dean broth
ers was forced into voluntary re-
Itirement late last season when a
sore arm kept him from doing more
than lob the ball across the plate.
He has been spending the winter
on his farm near Dallas, Texas.
GOLF HEADS MAKE
CHANGE IN RULING
All-Match Play Form of
Combat for Amateur
Crown Tossed Qut
By BCB CAVAGNARO
NEW YORK.-—()—The day of
rugged individualism in American
amateur golf is over.
For competitive and financial
reasony the annual meeting of
the United States Golf Association
Sarturday tossed out the all-match
play form of combat which for
the past three years has turned
the zmateur title tournament into
a zolfing donnybrook, and return
ed tc ,the former system of a
chamupionship qualifying round,
Effective with this year’'s cham
picnsbip, to be played over the
liaks of the Alderwood Country
club at Portland, Ore.,, August 23-
28, survivors of the customary
sectional qualifying rounds wil
engage in a two-day 36-hole
medal test. The low 64 scorers
will swing into match play, with
all matches up to the semi-finals
at 15 holes. The semi-findls and
finals will be at 36 holes.
The system is an innovation in
the sense that, while returning to
the old pattern, the chamrionship
quo:a has been increased from 32
to 64. Thus, there'll still be a
chance for the longhorns of the
links to stampede the favorites
especially’ in the four 18-hole
rounds to be played on third and
fourtah days.
Abandonment of the all hand
to-hand conflict was urged by 2
lar=e group of golfers. It has beea
under consideration for two years
a year after the British Amateur
championship idea was given ite

aMITH CUT 3 FAOSH
BASKETBALL SQUAD
Three Athens Boys In
cluded Among 15 Players
Remaining on Team
Coach Vernon “Catfish” Smith
weilded a heavy ax on the Univer
sity of Georgia freshman basket
ball squad yesterday afternoon as
he reduced the number of candi
dates from almost 40 to 15, at which
number the squad will probably re
main for the season.
' Three members of Atheng Highs'
team last season were includea
among the 15 named by Coach
Smith. The list is as follows:
Billy Mimms, Boys® High, Atlanta;
Jimmy Jones, Glynn Academy,
Brunswick; Billy Woodall, Indus
trial High, Columbus; Vassa Cates
Glynn Academy, Brunswick; Rob
ert Hodgson, Jack Reid and Robert
Horne, Athens High; Bud Long,

High, Macon: Henry Frederiksen,
Union City, N. J.; Knox Eldridge,
Miami, Fla.; Jerome Pinkney,
Benedictine, Savannah and James
A, Wooten Hazelhurst,
Although no definite schedule
has been arranged as yet, the
Bullpups will probably face some
high school team of this section
around the middle of this week in
a practice game. Other games will
probably be included against the
Clemson freshman, Armstrong Jun
ior college of Savannah, and sev
‘eral other opponents. -
The frosh players will begin
practicing with the varsity at nighi

ministration spent more than $21,-
000,000 in federal funds during 1936

spent, she said, local communities
contributed more than $5,000,000

ual reduction in the number of
persons on WPA rolls. The or
ganization had 33,000 workers on
its rollg at the end of Deceniber,

During the year 396 farm-to
market and street projects were
completed. In addition bridges, cul

included construction of sewers,
waterworks system, schools, audi
toriumd, gymnasiums and jother

plishments of the educational de
partment Miss Shepperson said

taught to read and write. In addi
tion the WFA conducted vocauonall
classes in business and agriculture.

gram was concluded during the

3 STAR OF "NOCGA
VICTORY IN SECOND
Moccasin Win Last Night
Evens Count in 2 Game
Series Here
BY F. M. WILLIAMS
Georgia's basketball team show
ed the effects of inexperience and
lack of practice last night as it
dropped the second of a two-game
series with the University of
Chattanooga in Woodruff hall, 27
to 20.
‘ The Bulldogs found some com
fort, however, by looking back to
Friday night's score, which gave
them to 30 to 17 margin over the
visiting Moccasins,
’ Last night was the second time
since the Georgians and the Chat
tanoogans started playing one ano
ther in basketball that the score
went against the Bulldogs.
Georgia jumped into an early
lead, but just before the first half
ended Bob Klein, hsuky center and
a little forward named Ellis drop
ped a couple each in from long
range and the Mioccasions went
into a lead they never relinquish
ed.
The game was unusually rough,
with. 13 fouls called on Georgia
and fourteen on the visitors. Klein
was disqualified late in the last
period when he committed his
fourth mistake.
Nevertheless, the big%boy was
the main reason for the Georgians
defeat, for it wag he who sent two
long shots just before being put
out, to give his team a safe lead.
McMahon was also instrumental in
the Chattanooga victory, shooting
9 points,
For the Bulldogs, the work of
little Olin Thompson, blond guard,
was outstanding. Thompson was
easily the outstanding floor man,
and in addition he made six points,
Charlie Harrold also looked good.

Support to Rivers
ATLANTA—(®)—The program of
(Governor-Elect E. D. Rivers will
receive the backing of the only
}tw!) women in Georgia's 1937 gen
eral assegnbly of 205 represpnu
tives and 51 senators.
The two are Mrs. Helen Wil
liams Coxon, “the lady from Long”
and Mrs. Helen Douglas Mankin
of Fulton (Atlanta) county.
Both declared they were in fa
vor of the general principles of the
Rivers program and expected to
aid him in putting it into effect.
Mrs. Coxon, who will head the
house public welfare committee,
expressed special interest in that
part of the program dealing with
improvements for rural schools
and a guaranteed seven-month
term for all public schools.
She also declared, “to use an old
expression, the state’s tax system
is broken down and needs over
hauling.” Although in saver of
general tax revision, she has not
determined what measures she will
support. o
Mrs. Mankin, while she “will
help Rivers with his program,” is
interested chiefly in a driver’s li
cense law and a . state highway
vatrol. :
The Fulton representative will
begin her first term in the house
Monday, while Mrs. Coxon will
start her third. R
At the last session, Mrs. Coxor
was the only woman member of
the assembly, but quring her first
session there were two. N
She thinks “it will feel fine to.
