Georgia Meets Oglethorpe Twice This Week-End
WALLAGE MILLER T 0
START FOR GEORGIA
ON MOUND SATURDAY
Game Starts at 4 O’clock
Today; Admission Is 2°
Cents for Each Game
By JACKSON REID
Hopeful of snapping a five-game
losing streak, Georgia's Bulldog
haseball club takes the field here
{his- afternoon against the Stormy
petrels of Oglethorpe University
in the opening contest of a two
game series. The final engagement
will; be tomorrow afternoon, ¢
With Unversity students and
Athénians celebration Little Com
meneement, this week-end's series
is expected to draw two of the
largest crowds of the season. Both,
gcames will start at 4 o'clock, with
admission 25 cents to everyone,
Jim Davis, junior right-hander
and . ‘holdover from last season’s
club. will draw the opening mound
assignment for the Bulldogs this
afterneon, according to Coach Ver-.
non Smith, while Wallace Miller,
another right-hander, will do the
chunking Saturday.
Both Davis and Miller have hurl
ed winning ball in previous starts
recently, but lack of power in the
pim:p'(»s, ragged play afield, and‘
bad , .breaks have caused their
downfalls on practically every ap- ]
pearance.
If Oglethorpe starts with a right
handed flinger, Coach Smith plans
to open with an outfield which bats
entirely from the left side of the
plate. Bill Hartman will be in left
field, - Sanford Vandiver, shifted
from ' piteher, will hold down cen
ter, amq lttle Joe Gerson will bel
in right. Should the Petrels start;
a gouthpaw, however, Carroll
Thomas, Jim Cavan, and Gerson
will gpt the starting fly~chasing‘
bert @8
THeg:infield will remain the same,
Lee #Richards will be behind the
plate while George Stallings will
be at first, }Japtain Alf Anderson,
at short, and Albert Collins, at
second. will form the keystone
combination, with Billy Mims at
third.

New Southern Golf Cham
pion Is in Marietta Hos
pital at Present
By JACKSON REID
Rosser Little, Georgia's newly
crowned Southern Intercollegiate
Golf king, will be awarded a ma
or “G” at the end of the current
season, according to an' announce
ment today hy University Athletic
Director H. J. Stegeman.
Stegeman points out that the
Athletic Association has made a,
practice of awarding major letters
to athletes in minor sports who
win outstanding championships.
Consequently, Little, in a Marietta
hospital recovering from an appen
dix operation, will be awarded his
major “G”.
Little is the first Georgian to
be so honored since Mickey Radut
zky, former Bulldog boxing star,
was awarded a major “G" for win
ning the Southeastern conference
ring championship his sophomore
year jip 1934. Since then, boxing
lha,s been made a major sport.
The awarding of a major letter
{to prticipants in minor sports has
been done on several occasions,
laceording to Stegeman. Johp Oli
ver, golf; Bobby Hooks, boxing;
Malon Courts, tennis; and Tommy
Hoyneg ang Hugh Gordon, swim
ming, are among the ex-Georgia
athletes to be so honered.
The victory of Little in the re
cent Southern tourney goes down
as one of the greatest accomplish
ments ever recorded by a &orgia
athlete. The Marietta sharp-shoot
er first served warning to the strong
field when he blasted Freddie
Haas, 1., S. U.’s defending cham-’
pion - and heavy favorite, out of
the meet in the quarter-finals.
Little was also brilliant as hel

Texas star, in the finals on thel

ACKETS TOMORROW
Bobby Packard Will Run
Only in 220, at Best;
Ceorgia Favorite
With Olympian Bobby Packard
expected to be confined to the 220
vard dash at the best, Georgia's
powerful track team will attempt
to protect its undefeated record at
the expense of a likewise un
trounced Georgia Tech gggregation
Saturday afternoon in Atlanta,
Packard, suffering with a Dpulled
leg muscle as the result of the
Penn Relays, is definitely out of
the 100 yard dash, but Georgia
Head Track Coach H. J. Stegeman
expecty “Bullet Bob” to be ready
to go on the 220. With Harry
Stevens and Jack Robinson in the
century, the Bulldog team should
get two places despite Packard's
loss. |
Although the Jackets promise to
afford Georgia its stiffest opposi
tion of the season, it is extremely
doubtful 1f the Atlantans will be
able to even throw a scare into
the Red and Black ranks. Charlie
Belcher, in the 440 yard dash, and
Chick Aldridge, in the two dis
‘tance events, shoatd account for
three first for Tech, but beyond
that point the Jackets outlook is
black,
The feature event of the meet
should be the 220 tow hurdle event,
between Forrest Towns and Monk
Arnold, Georgia stars, and Belch
er. Belcher is gunning to defeat
the Georgians, but it is extremely
doubtful if he will be able to romp
home in front of Towns.
In a preliminary meet, Georgia’'s
unbeaten frosh squad will attempt
to turn back the Tech Baby Jack
ets. Thankg to the ability of such
stars as Henry Fredericksen, Oliver
Hunnicutt and others, the Red and
Black yearling will be favored
slightly, i

20-Lalled Yankee Long Distance
Hitters Are Silent This Season
But Just the Same, World
Champions Winning Ball
Games With Pitching
t BY SID FEDER
’ (Associated Press Sports Writer)
Don’t look now, but something
,’qucm- is going op in the Bronx
E’Rasoball Business — Champions,
{lnc., of the diamond world.
| The famous clouting circus, New
| York's Yankees, who cracked about
ievery long distance record in sight
last year and averaged better than
ia homer a game, isn't hitting hard
"Pndugh to dent a cream puff, so
fay as extra base blows are con-
Cerned,
The Yanks have produced in six
tilts just one long home run,
“pooshed up” several days ago by
Tony Lazgeri, and a single triple,
And the queerest thing about the
whole business is that the team
keeps right on winning ball games,
despite. Lou Gehrig's ailing hand
and the absence of tonsil-less Joe
DiMaggio, their winning streak is
the longest of the young season—
five straight. !
| Maybe (and this is only being
‘Whispered as yet) the victories are
coming because the lightly-regard
ed Yankee pitching is fooling the
boys. Rated, as usual, as the weak
spot, the flingers have been ace
high in recent days, despite the
absence of holdout Charley Ruff
ing, In their Ilast three starts,
they've allowed the enemy 17 hits
and four runs in 27 innings. Yes
terday Monte Pearson tured in a
six-hit job, fanning seven batters,
to whip ‘Washington's Senators,
4-2, the Nats® fifth straight set
back,
. The Bronx baseball faithful are
in even more of a dither over the
antics of their other representa
tive in the diamond wars, the
Giants. Bill Terry's terriers have
long been noted for putting the
burden opn their pitchers, and in
recent days have emphasized that
habit with g profound batting
slump.
Yesterday, however, when they
really didn't need to get excited,
they fielded a revised lineup, re
versed themsleves all the way, and
bombarded Brooklyn’'s Dodgers 9-0.
