~ Maybe YOU don't enjoy watching a swimming meet,
Wt a lot of others do, and they’ll produce a list of cham
lp!‘»‘ . . . names like Peter Fick, Johnny Weismuller,
Adolph Keifer, Bill Smith . . . that is just as impressive
asgany that other sports can offer.
“THe Southeastern AAU men and
; cha_mpiomhlfim will be run
Zin Stegeman Hall Friday and
turday, and several of the na
tidh's outstanding mermen will be
irf ‘garb for attempts at records
Or, in some cases, just the titles.
. Dent ' Richards, Atlanta Swim
ming-Association headliner and a
n#tional champion, is one of them.
Johnny Hiles, sensational Georgia
Téch “fish” who cracked . two
Southeastern Conference marks
against Florida Saturday, is an
other. Champions won't be scarce
this week-end. _
‘-igy_tnlons will differ as to who
the greatest of all American
swimmers because there are three
styles-free style, the fastest; back
strgke, slower; and the still slower
breast-siroke. Johnny Weismuller,
who dominated the swimming
world of his era, still possesses an
tUfi)ndamce of free style marks
which have never heen touched.
.Peter Fick, the long remember
ed, was a greal free-styler. “Bus
ter?:-Crabbe was often a title hold
e, and just as often a record-pro
dicsr. And there was Duke
Ksbanamoku, the Hawaiian, born

free-stylers is 'Bill Smith, jr,,

iceman:. They must grow’em

where Smith first saw dawn.
v Bill’s namie'is common, but his
su%!gm’ ming is' most uncommon.
M e'Pe%:pe, .Ohio State coach, be
lieves Smith to be the greatest in
the world. Big Bill has been pick
ed for the All-America swimming
team five teams—since 1941—and
has been nominated for the James

the last five years, Although he’s

- When whirling down the list of
‘accomplished water-gplitters, you
can't overlook Adolph Keifer, Few
will give you an argument that
he isn’t the greatest back-stroker
that ever lived. He won his first
national title in 1935 when 16, and
wasn't beaten for eight years, com
peting in more than 250 races
in all parts of the world. When he
finally was beaten by a six-inch
margin by Harry Holliday in April,
1943, it was because he missed
the final turn completely and
lost precious yardage.
Harry Glancy, Atlantan who de
monstrated his technique at Ath
ens “Y” Camp last summer, was
one of the greatest Olympic stars
and has a chest of medals that will
take your eyes out. He’'ll be chief
referee at the SEAUU shinding
this week-end.
Georgia’s best bet is the slim,
dark-haired Athenian, Theyx
Stewart, unbeaten this year in his
speciaity, the back-stroke, but who
doubled as a free-styler on occa
sion and proved his versatility by
coming out ahead-—as wusual.
Stewart ranks wiih the best of
them.,
No. except for diving, swim
ming can’t be considered one of
the most enjoyable spectator
sports—not from my point of view,
anyway. But everybody loves a
winner, and a champion is even
more popular.
People go to see the champs,
and the champs come through.
BRADBERRY LEADING SCORER:
BY GEORGE ABNEY ;
Under the able coachship of Coach Dan Kirkland, the
Athens High School Trojan basketball team ended the
season last week with a season total of 24 wins in 26
starts. Athens made 895 points this year, including the
tournament, while their opponents scored 556 points.
During the regular season in
which Athens won 21 of 22, the
locals scored 782 points which is
an average of almost 36 points
against 462 scored by the oppon
ents. The opponents’ average per
game was 21 points.
Bobby Bradberry led all’ Ath
ens scorers for the season with 200
points while Nathan Williams was
next with 158. Running a close
third was Jack Turner with 147
points. 4
Turner was high scorer for the
entire North Section tournament
in the “B” class getting 22 points
in three games. Turner scored
seven points against Watkinsville
in the finals to again lead the
scoring of the Trojans and raise
his tournament score to 29.
. Consistent Players
John Marshall made 23 points in
the tournament, consisting of four
games, while Bradberry got 22
points and Williams 21. |
Jack Turner and Bobby Brad
berry have been consistent defen
sive players, keeping their men to
low scores while Williams has
been of help in the way of break
ing up opponents passes and get
ting balls off the enemy’s back
board. Tommy Bentley and John
Marshall, although they haven't
scored greatly, have been great
help in passing and handling the
ball. Marshall ended the regular
season with 84 points and Tommy
Bentley sank 63 points plus 6 in
the tournament.
Athens won seven games by
low scores: Statham, 34-31; Bogart,
21-18;- Jefferson, 44-38; Richmond
Academy, 31-30; Rictmond Aca
demy, 31-29; Gainesville, 30-27:
and Watkinsville, 26-24. Athens
lost during the regular season to
Parker High Schooi in Greenviiie,
S. C. 31-25 and lost in the District
Tournament finals to Watkinsville
34-21.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Feb.

tournament swings into an-‘
other session with Kentucky

the Wildcats in any combination

There is a critical shortage of transformers and copper
wire. Manufacturers cannot supply the demand. In
1946 we received about 429, less copper wire than we
ordered; and 269, fewer transformers than we ordered.
If all we had ordered had been delivered, we would
have been able to serve thousands more customers. .
The materials we are getting today were ordered
months ago—some as long as a year and a half. We
have two men who spend all of their time tracing down
orders, scouring the country for more materials, writ
ing, telegraphing, teiephoning, and calling in person on
manufacturers, trying to speed up deliveries. .
Our entire company is geared to the big job of get
ting electric service to as many people as possible in
the shortest possible time. Your application is receiving
our most careful attention. Just as soon as it is possible
to provide you with service, you will be notified. We
appreciate your understanding, and we sincerely re
quest your continued patience.

That baseball season grows ever
nearer; Major League training
camps are springing up from
Florida to California and the boys
are getting down to the business
of playing baseball again in a sea
son which is most likely to top that
one of a year ago—which was a
record year in itself.
People are already taking their
pick on who will win the pennants
‘and who will—some eight months
from now—cop the World Series.
BUMS, SOX—Favorites are now
in order. Although you people
have your own choice (and I have
mine) it’s general opinion that
these two clubs nave the inside
rail in the American and National
Leagues, respectively—The Boston
Red Sox and the Bums from
Brooklyn.
Not only will the Dodgers have
one of the top teams in material,
but they will be fighting a grudge
battle for having the pennant
snatched from right under their
breathing-passages last season by
the St. Louis Cardinals, which will
give them added sports. ’Dem
Bums are after it this year, and
with Durocher (Loraine Day and
all) in there with his canny gift
of baseball savvy, Owner Branch
Rickey has his club in good hands.
The Cards will undoubtedly give
them another hot race, for they
will have Musial, Slaughter, a
pretty good pitching staff and the
rest of the boys out there for a
battle to the end. But I just can’t
see it this year.
Pittsburgh seems to be trying to
