Georgia Athletic Staff Is Announced After Meeting Of Board
PSR .
Freshmen to Meet Arm
strong Junior College at|
6:30 O'clock Today ;
BY JACK REID |
Playing even 500 basketball in|
econference games to date, the I'ni-§
wersity of Georgia basketball team|
will advance its fight for a place]
_ §n the annual Souptheastern oon-|
ference tournmey when it tackles|
Alabama’s rangy quintet fonight in|
‘Woodruff hall, |
The Bulldog-Tide encounter will |
start at 8 o'clock with admission |
50 cents for adults. Tonight's tihi
48 the only game of the season slat-|
ed between the two rival schools. ,'
In what might be called a pre- |
_ liminary, the Georgia freshman five|
undefeated in two games, will face|
the strong Armstrong Junior r:ol-!
- Jege quintet, of Savannah, in \\'nnd-i
" yuff hall at 6:230. Although start
_ing rather early, the freshman
;‘Armfltron{.: game will take about ar
_ hour, leaving approximately 30 min
utes for the Georgia and Alabama
~ squads to warm up. ;
. Although a quintet composed of |
“ffnluh!tltutos went through a longil
gerimmage against a freshman fivoi
- last night, the Georgia rogu]ars]
__took things easy as they went/|
~ through a final gession of light pre-|
. paration under Coach Rex En-l
- right. i
The Bulldog mentor is nxpam,fldl
{0 apen with Captain Charlie Har- |
" r6ld and Lee Richards at forwards,|
_ Jack Farren at center, and Olin"
~ Thompson and Harry Harman at|
the guard berths. Ralph Head and
_'f,qunford “Coot” Vandiver, the soph-l
_omore forwards, are also likely to
gee plenty of service,
~ Alabama at present is lurking
pear the cellar position of the
_ Southeastern conference, having |
won only one game in six starts.i
The Tide, however, has faced such
teams as Tulane, Kentcky, Miss
_issippi State—all rating near the
top—and will be at least an even
_ choice when it takes the court|
fmil‘ght against the Georgians. i
the preliminary contest, Fresh- |
man Coach Vernon Smith is ex- |
_ pected to open with Alex Mc-|
. Caskill at center, Robert Horne/
~ and Morris McDonald at forwards
~and Billy Mimms and Knox Eld
redge at guards.
~ There is a possibility, however,
_ that Coach Smith may start Cecil
gKelley, Macon’s sharp-shooting for-!
. ward, in place of either Horne or |
- McDonald. Kelley attended last
_ might's practice, but didn’t even s
gjgmch as go through offensive for
. mations due to a hip injury which
~ has been paining him recently.

" Education to Be

: Fight, He Thinks
l NEW YORK — (#) — A college
education, usually rated as a total
loss for a fighter, has taught Bob,
Pgstor one lesson that may come
in handy when he fights Joe Louis
at Madison Square Garden Friday—
‘How to take a pounding. l
The former New York University
football star looks at it in an even'
brighter light. “I got over getting
scared when I played fullback on
{N. Y. U’s foothall team,” he says.
“In football a runner has 11 men
to beat with no defense. In fight
ing it’s easier: You have only one.
man to beat and you can frame a
defense for him,”
| That is one reason why Pastor,
despite his comparatively unim-|
portant record, is being consideredl
seriously as an opponent for De-|
! troit’s Brown Bomber. He'g con-!
'fldent, unworried and doesn’t give
the impression he’s whistling in the
| dark. ?
| Louis, however, may have found
the answer to the educational
'handlcap. Jn - his -sparring drills
| he’s been pounding Tom Ponte, an
| ex-football player from Western
{ Maryland.
