Three Tilts Open "Y"
Cub - Class Basketball
BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Like a streak of lightning the Athens Y, M. C, A, Cub
Class officially opened its basketball season with plenty
of fast and scrapping court action last night in the “Y”
gym.
Three intrasquad games were
played with all three being thrill
ers, but the battle between the
Blue dand Red teams was the
closest. The Reds beat the Blues
13 to 11, the Greens were victori
ous over the Purples 37 to 17, then
the Reds came back again to take
the Whites 14 to 5.
The local “Y” Preps, who have
won two games thus far this sea
son, meets the Braselton Junior
High Midgets in Braselton,
Georgia, tonight at 7 o’clock.
Immediately following this game
the Athens Junior High team
will play the Braselton big jun
ior high team. “Y” Prep players
making the trip must report to
the “Y” at 5:15 this afternoon.
Opening the fireworks last night
was the Blue-Red battle. The
Blues lead all the way until late in
the third quarter when the Reds
went ahead 13 to 11 and the score‘
never changed throughout the last
stanza. For the winners Emmet
Bondurant hit the basket for six
points while teammate Carlton
James made four tallies.
The offensive stars for the losing
team were Buddy Griffeth with
five points and Billy Bowman with
four points. Tommy Matthews and
Alston Steiner were standouts on
the Red team although they made
few points. They were consistent
ball handlers. Center David
Thurmond also comes in for praise.

Primed For
Grid Meeting
__ MIAMI, FGla,, Dec. 23—(AP)—
North and South teams are all set
for their intersectional gridiron
battle in the Orange Bowl Christ
mas night.
. Coach Herman Hickman of Yale
announced his North team’s start
ing backfield, and the South un
animously elected Mississippi’s
great Barney Poole to captain
them in the Mahi Shrine set-to.
The Eli mentor said his boys
“would spend the day working on
kicking and punt protection. Then
we'll be ready for those Rebels.”
Hickman said his team looked
better than ever yesterday after
the arriyal of three Notre Dame
players, Terry Brennan, John Fal
lon and Bill Walsh. (
After watching the boys work
out, Hickman said he would start‘
Terry Brennan at right halfback,
with Tex Furse, Yale, quarterback,
Elwood Petchell, Penn State, left
halfback, and John Weber, Prince- |
ton, fullback. . ‘
Poole’s election as captain
pleased South Coach Andy Gustaf
son. ‘“Poole is a great football
player, one of the greatest I've
ever seen or coached,” he said.
Gustafson put his eleven through
two brisk workouts yesterday,
with' much of the time spent on
polishing plays in a long dummy
scrimmage. Passing also was em

He said the boys worked better
together and admitted they might
come up with an offensive full of

Mack Wants
QOutfielder On
86th Birthday
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23—
(AP)—Connie Mack, the grand
old gentleman of baseball, observ
ed his 86th birthday today.
And the nicest present anyone
could offer him would be an out
fielder who could swat the ball
like a couple of gents Connie had |
on his clubs in the past. |
“But you don’t get anything for
nothing,” Mr. Mack observed with
the assurance of a man who has
been trying to get something and |
give up little for 48 years.
There’s nothing wrong with Mr.
Mack’s 1949 edition of Philadel
phia Athleties that a home run
hitter like Jimmy ‘Foxx or Al
Simmons couldn’t correct. |
Quiet Celebration
Connie is making his birthday
celebration a quiet one with little
fanfare. His family and club asso
ciates were with him to whoop it
up in a small way.
The diamond veteran, still a
hero to young and old throughout
the land, can look back today on
a career packed with more mem
ories than almost any other dozen
men put together,
~ He was born in east Brookfield,
Mass.,, and spent his early days
haking shoes. Then he decided to
become a baseball player and took
up catching.
After a brief playing career,
’Mr. Mack became a manager, and
later helped Ban Johnson organ
ize the American League.
Later on he became a club own
er and realtor of sorts. He owns
the Athletics and Shibe Park—
“The House That Mack Built.”
