AGAINST JACKSON AIR BASE
Georgia’s Bulldogs will play an
11-game football schedule this fall.
Head Coach Wallace Butts an
nounced Saturday the scheduling
of a contest with the Jackson,
iss., Army Air Base to be played
Athens Sept. 22, giving the
alldogs four home games.
‘;t’.:‘he game with the Fliers will

1945 schedule and is the only con
tgt scheduled with a service team
this year. Other home games are
with Clemson here on Sept. 29,
L. S. U. on Oct. 20 and Presby
_tu.}an College on Nov. 23. i
. The Jackson Fliers are coached
by Leo Costa, an Athens boy,
famous for his place-kicking of
ga points on the University of
rgia’s 1942 Rose Bowl team.
Little is known®of the Fliers ex
cept that they scored a 10-0 upset
victory over Harry Mehre’s Ole

{ ce elevens, can be expected
toput up a rugged scrap.

badly,” said Coach Butts, “and
Amber Light Given
Foothall Travelers
For 1945 Season
3 BY JIMMY JONES |
;‘The ODT has given co]legPl
xgtball the amber light on travel
the 1945 season but has ul-|
ready hoisted a warning signal !
E%l:t those schools failing to use |
opriety in keeping with the
times’ may find their teams
gidetracked,
* "This is the gist of an announce
ment sent out to al] colleges by
Don Spencer Co., of New York,
nationally-known football pm-l
gram publisher firm.
. “Self-discipline”
"“#The ODT does not want to |
take any broad, sweeping action
against college football, for it
tealizes its importance to both
the health and morale of the na
_tion,” Spencer whote his clients.
! “However, they do eapect the
. colleges themselves to act rc-‘
sponsibly in short, to discipline
themselves.”
@ “If the colleges do not face the
.situation responsibly and seri
ously, the ODT may be compelled
step in with broad and string
ent regulations as they cannot
allow anything that is a direct
detriment to the Pacific war,”
he added.
.« According to Spencer, a group
of college athletic officials
met with the O. D. T. in Wash
_ington, D. C. In April o
discuss the travel problem. After
hearing O?)T's outline of the sit
wation, they drew up a “Trans
gg:):tation Savings Plan” which
- they, in turn, submitted to ODT
for approval, This plan has been
approved in its entirety, Spencer
says, and if colleges voluntarily
‘-:gxere to the plan cooperate with
“the ODT, no additional regula
‘tions need be feared. ¢
* Eliminates Some Play 4

‘all post season games, bue ex
i'm an olive branch to harried
“athletic directors by permitting
; es on “urbane playing fields
&:ted between the respective
/home grounds of the competing
teams.” This ig interpreted as the
#O. K. sign for such games as
e University of Georgia’s tfa
‘ jonal contest with Auburn in
“Columbus, Ga., and Florida in
- Jacksonville, Coach Wallace
Butts of the Bulldogs believes.
* Since the plan was submitted,
the ODT has announced a five

for any more opposition, I think
it will help some of our green
backs to get a game under their

Georgia has only one back, Al
Perl, who played regularly last
fall, but thanks to several likely
looking freshmen, Coach Butts
hopes to field a fairly respectable
backfield. «

Byrd, Nelson In
Play-Off For
PGA Championship
DAYTON, 0., July 14 —(&)—
Sam Byrd, the baseball man from
Georgia, and Byron Nelson of To
ledo, who has shaved 31 strokes
off par in 171 holes this week,
will do the shooting tomorrow at
the Moraine Country Club for
golf’s biggest professional prize—
the PGA championship.
Byrd, who quit playing baseball
in 1936 to become a golf pro and
now operates out of Redford,
Mich.,, carved out his second
straight seven and six victory as
he blasted dark horse Clarence
Doser of Hartsdale, N. Y., out of
competition in today’s 36-hole
semi-finals. ;
And Nelson, a fellow who plays
such mechanically perfect golf that
at times it even becomes monoto
nous, breezed past Claude Har
mon of Grosse Point Wood. Mich.,
five and four. He was eight un=-
der par today despite a rain storm
that was so heavy it even delayed
"the start of the second 18.
When Nelson tees off against
‘Byrd tomorrow it will be the fifth
time in the last six PGA tourna
ments that he has been in the
championship match. He won the
‘tournament in 1940 and finished
runnerup to Henry Picard in 1939,
to Vic Ghezzi in 1941 and to Bob
Hamilton last year. -
Sam Byrd was born in Georgia,
lived much of his life in Alabama,
played his major league baseball
in New York, and now calls Michi
gan home.
If Byrd wins tomorrow he’ll “be
the oldest man ever to win the
PGA. He's 38 years old and Jock
Hutchinson, the oldest victor to
date, was 36, when he took the
(title in 1920.
Nelson started slowly today, go
ing over par on each of the -first
two holes but he settled down to
work after that, squaring the
match on the third and never fall
ing behind again.
Byrd, a slugger off the tee, goes
into the championship match with
a record of 12 strokes under par
for 164 holes here this week.
Peach Shipments
In Georgia
Reach Year's Peak
ATLANTA July 14—(&2)—Peach
shipments reached the peak from
Georgia and began to decline,
while the South Carolina move
ment was still increasing during
the week ending today, according
to the Office of Marketing Ser
vices. :
Carlot shipments for Georgia
through July 13 were approxi
mately 9,000 cars. FOB shipping
prices were slightly lower but for
thenseason so far have held up
well.
Watermelgn and Cantaloupe ar
rivals continued hevay from Geor
gia and South Carolina, with North
Carolina just beginning to ship.
Potatoes held at ceilings at eastern
shore of Virginia points. Move
ment of other summer fruits and
vegetables to matket was light to
moderate with prices generally
averaging higher m nearby mar
kets.
Hog marketings continued light,
demand urgent and prices for bulk
of sales at ceilings.
Eggs at Montgomery were strong
but the supply ample. Current re
ceipts were quoted at 38 cents a
dozen. Supplies at Richmond and
Raleigh continued light and short
of trade needs and quoted prices
at ceilings.
Live poultry receipts were up
slightly at federal-state process
ing plants in North Carolina, but
very little was available for
civilians. Offerings in Alabama
and and Virginia were reported
scarce, and markets very firm.

WILDLIFE WINS
DWYER STAKES
INBIG UPSET
NEW YORK, July 14—(AP)—
In one of the bigest turf up
sets of the year, Wildlife won t.e
$50,000-added Dwyer stakes at
Aqueduct today as Provot, the 4
te 5 favorite, finished last, near
ly 30 lengths behind the winner.
A crowd of 38,964 saw J. M.
Roebling’s three-year-old, winner
of the Shevlin on Tuesday, get up
in the final stride to eabt W. L.
Brann's Gallorette by a twiead and
William Ziegler’'s Esteem half a
length in a photo finish. |
Ten lengths behind in fourth
and fifth places came |Willgami
Helis’ entry of Rick’s Raft and
Pindus. Far in the rear and eased
up by Jockey Eddie Arcaro was
Pavot who only taree weeks ago
won the Belmont stakes by five
lengths over Wildlife.
Arcaro, regarded as one of the
best stake jockeys got Pavot away
to an early lead in the mile and
one quarter rout. Going down tae
tackstretch the topweighted fav
orite at 126 pounds opened up a
two-length advantage but he was
' done at the end of six furlongs.
At the sixteenth pole it looked
like a blanket finish between Es
teem and Gallorete but Ted At
with a burst of speed in the last
few yards moved out in front.
Wildlife, carrying 116 pounds,
picked up a purse of 38,900 in
running the route in 2:05 1-5. He
now has won five of 19 starts
and earned $68,750.
A 7 to 2 second choice in tae
betting, Wildlife paid $9.10 to win
in the mutuels, S3BO to place and
$3.10 to show.
* The crowd bet $3,501,475 on the
seven-race card, including $268,-

Representatives,
Weary Of Work,
Begin Long Recess
WASHINGTON, July 14.—(AP)
—Work-weary congressmen scat
tered four ways f:gn Washington
tonight for the longest House re
cess of the war. &
Although the vacation will not
begin officially till the latter part
of next week many members took
a running start and began check
ing out of the capital last night.
Barring emergencies the House
will be in adjournment until
October 1, the longest period for
either branch ~of Congress since
the war began.
There are a few legislative tag
ends left over, but Hoyse leaders
admitted frankly that they
wouldn’t be able to get a quo
rum together for any floor busi
ness. The House end of the cap
itol .and the corridors of the
House office building were virtu
ally deserted today.
The House cleaned up its ma
jor busniess yesterday when Con
gress finally passed a long-dis
puted- war agencies appropria
tion. Many members left as soon
as that vote was taken.
The chamber will hold techni
cal sessions next week, principal
ly to complete action of the Bret
ton Woods internaitonal agree-.
ment which will be called up in
the Senate Monday. Al that is
needed is House agreement to any
Senate amendment and leaders
said they would not be contro
versial.
Apparently the recess drive
nipped off all prospects of mid
summer revisions in the GI Bill
of Rights. The measure — liber
alizing loan and educational pro
visions — has been approved by
the veterans committee but did
not reach the floor in time for
ebate.

BULLDOGS COMPLETE PRACTIGE
FOR SUMMER WITH SCRIMMAGE
BY BOBBY OLIVER
Georgia’s 1945 Bulldogs com
pleted *their summer football
practice Friday night, with prob
ably th best scrimmage held
during the entire practice period.
There was better timing and
blocking on plays, and the all
whole squad was noticeable.
A backfield trio of Richard
Lee, Al Perl, and John Donald
son set off all of the fireworks
as far as the backs were con
cerned. Perl, veteran left half,
did probably the best running
of the practice. He was closely
Hfollowed by Donaldson and Lee.
Lee, tipping the scales at a bare
160 pounds, seems to have more
energy and hustle than probably
any other back on the squad. He
Gubs Beat Braves,
6-5, In Hectic
Game In Chicage
CHICAGO, July 14— (AP) —_—
The legaue-leading Cubs grabbed
a five-run lead on the Boston
Braves in t{xe first inning today,
lost it and then bounced back to
win, 6 to 5, on Catcher Paul Gil
lespie’s double that cashed Out
fielder Harry Lowry’s’ single ia
the eighth inning. It was the
Chicagoans’ 17 victory in 21
games and gave them the series,
three to one.
Al Javery, who until Lowrey
singled had pitched one-hit ball
for seven innings after relieving
Rookie Don Hendrickson in the
first ihning, was the losing pitch
er. Paul Erickson was the win
ner. |
Outfielder Tommy Holmes in
creased his legaue-leading bat
ting average by making two dou
bles and a single in five trips to
the plaet.
* Hendrickson, rookie recently
acquired from Milwaukee, retired
only one batter before the next
seven Cubs got to base, five on
singles and two on walks for the
five sruns. :
The Braves tied it in the sixth
when Chuck Workman led off
with a pas son four pitches and
Gillenwater’s second double kay
oed Derringer. Workman scored
as Hack booted Ehupe’s grounder.
Frankie Crosetti’s home run in
!the third and his steal of home
'in the eighth gave the New York
}Yankees a 4-2 victory over the
Cleveland Indians today. Bud
yMetheny’s leaping catch of Fran
' kie Hayes’ bid fer -a homer with
one on in the ninth saved the
game for Floyd Bevens.
Right-handed recruit Luther
Knerr won his second game of
the season today as the Philadel
phia Athletics defeated the St.
Louis Browns, 5-3, in a 21-hit
slugfest at Shibe Park before an
estimated 3,000 persons.
The Boston Red Sox swept
their three-game series with the
league leaders today, taking the
Detroit Tigers, 7 to 1, as Pitcher
Emmett O’Neil allowed but three
hits.
It wsa a strange game that
O’Neil pitched. He allowed but
one hit in the first seven innings,
but he walked ten men and was
in trouble much of the time.

REMOVE RESTRICTIONS
WASHINGTON, July 14.—(AP)
—All remaining new 1942 passen
ger automobiles — around 6,009
—will be removed from ration
ing to clear the way for new
models. . ‘
The OPA, it was learned to
night, plans to eliminate in a few
g:cys rati&ning restrictions in ef
‘fect for these gince early in
S L e
fall,
Donaldson, with his tricky
side-step, continued to make
monkeys of the defense. It’s just
uncanny the way that boy can
elude would-be tacklers. Donald
son is trying hard for a first
string bertp his first year at
Georgia and if things continue
to look in the fall as they do now,
he wil] likely do just that.
More Encouraging
The fullback situation looked
somewhat encouraging with the
hard running of Gene Franks
and Albert Jeffrey. Weighing
170 and 180 pounds respectfully
these boys are beginning to drive
hard, which is the first sign a
good fullback is in the making.
“Lefty” Mike DeNoia and John
Rauch, quarterbacks, were bat
tling hard Friday for first honors
at that all-important position.
Due to Rauch’s leg injury. De-
Noia has seen more service dur
ing the summer workouts. How
ever, Rauch was indeed pushing
‘DeNoia, in Friday’s scrimmage
[Rauch is somewhat smoother m
handling the ball than DeNoia
but the latter doeg very well 1n
the passing department.
Coach Butts, during las weeks’
drills, switched “Black Mike"”
Castronis from left tackle, where
he player first string ¥6st season,
to right guard. Castronis, welgh
ing 190 pounds, is one of the
best blockers on the team. He
was one of the main factors in
the strong Georgia iine during
the past season, and is expected
to be a standout again this fall,
which wil be his hird straight
years as a regular.
~ Sellers Outstanding
Undoubtly the best end out
for the summer drills was one
Weyman Sellers; a 180 pound
Albany boy.. Sellers is a natural
al pass receiving, ang also hard
to stop on defense. He should
make such regular flanksmen as
Don Wells and Reid Moseley
hustle next fall, in order to hold
on to their first string positicns
L‘inemen who have stood out
during the warm-weather drills
are freshmen Tommy Pope, Dil
bon Beall, “Hamp” Tanner,
James DeWitt, Chester Fletcher,
Ben Bussey, and Warq Manley,
who had never played football
before coming to Georgia. Men
from last year’s squad who have
been looking good in the practice
sessions are Herbert St. John,
Bill Chonko, Mike Castronis, Jim
Cook and W. L. Hiers.
- At center Mike Cooley, Don
Byrne, and Gerald Deleski seem
to be progessing at a staedy pace.
These boys are likely to be call
ed up to carry th loag at center
next fall, and one of the three
will probably be up for first
string duty.
Althougr at times the players
looked mighty ragged, these
summer practices hkave meant
much in preparing the boys for
next season’s tough schedule.
With an entire veteran line re
turning and such men as Al Peul,
and “Rabbit” Smith, plug new
comers Richard Lee and John
Donaldson, in the backfield, the
Bulldogs should have a prettv
good ‘“war-time” football machine
come fall. Of course, not until
two or three games are played
can you really tell what they
have. However, the Bulldogs
should do every bit as good as
they did last season, which was
seven wins out of ten games.
Will they do better this year?
Chum, you’ll have to sweat-out
that answer.
* My own guess is—yes.
We're 39 Years Old Today!
Upon the occasion of our 39th Anniversary, it is fitting
and proper that we pause to reflect upon the generous
patronage that has been extended us over the span of
years we have satisfactorily served the people of Ath

We are grateful for the confidence placed in our work
manship and for the patience the public has shown
when severe shortages in both materials and labor were
evident for a limited time during the present war.
We shall ever strive to render the best in quality shoe

with the ever present knowledge that only the best is
good enough for our patrons.
