Bulldogs Blast Florida 8-6 For Ninth Straight
Trippi Gets F

Win For Georgia
By EDWIN POPE
Sports Editor
Johnny Pesky and Ted Williams
have nothing on Charley Trippi.
The kinky-haired football great,
who is strongly disputing the as--
sumption that the grid sport and
basgball are definitely not com
patible, blasted a first-inning
home run, three singles in four
times at bat, stole two bases, and
scored four runs Saturday to
Spark the University of Georgia’s
ninth consecutive baseball vie
tory—this one an 8-6 chiller from
the Florida ’Gators.
The A“igé‘t()l‘S, who took an
early lead Friday and held it the
majority of the game, tried the
same trick Saturday, but it was
no go. Georgia choked off ’Gator
threats until the fifth, when the
Floridians scored once, then twice
in the seventh and eighth, and
one in the final stanza.
Christie Hurls
Trippi, after homering across in
the first, scored again in the
fourth and once more in the fifth
before another teammate was
able to break into the “runs” col
umn.
Frank Christie hurled a nine~
hit game for eight innings, bring- |
ing his recent total of 16 hits'
given up in 44 innings. He scored
the Bulldogs’ fourth run. ‘
The four-ply blow by Trippil
was the only extra-base knock|
credited to a Georgia man. I-lust-l
ling little Testa, Florida backstop, |
banged a round-tripper in thcl
sixth, and Manchester, laughingl
hurier for the 'Gators, slammed & |
double in the seventh and scored‘-
on Brady's single.
" The triumph gave Georgia sixi
victories in the Southeastern Con
ference, which will give them a‘
good shot at the league crown if
they are well in their engap.e-’
ments with Alabama Wednesday |
and Thursday in Tuscaloosa and |
the 24th and 25th of this muntht
here. They are the only remain
ing SEC games for Georgia. ‘
