Tarpley Rounds Bulldog Boxers
- .
Into Tough, Well-Trained Outfit
PETE TARPLEY won the fight Friday night that meant so much
to him — an upset win over Coach Jess Alderman’s South Carolina
boxing team.
Tarpley, who won fame a few years back in professional boxing,
took over the boxing mentorship at Georgia last season, bringing the
sport back to the University for the first time since the late ’3os.
", It wasn’t a happy time; material was bad — for the most part,
with inexperience among the ranks being the main handicap to
the Georgians. Well, they lost most of their fights, and didn’t look
to good in the ones they did capture,
Tarpley opened training for the '49 season early, getting his boys
in shape for the grind to come. Ondy one letterman — Captain Charlie
Lee — returned from last season’s medicore club. Things didn’t look
too bright.
However, with a lot of hard work, and taking advantage of what
material he did have, Tarpley whipped his team into a potent outfit,
which has taken three straight matches, including the upset victory
over South Carolina.
So, here’s a “hats off” to Coach Pete Tarpley and his Georgia
boxing crew and borrowing a familiar phrase from Coach Wally Butts
—“You always have to pay the price to win.”
WHILE WE'RE dishing out orchids, we can toss a few in the di
rection of the Athens High basketball team. The Trojans, slowed for a
while by the loss of Nathan Williams, found themselves late in the
season and at this writing were awaiting their clash with the great
rival — Watkinsville — in Woodruff Hall.
Hartwell, the club coached by ex-Bulldog Mike Castronis, hadn’t
lost but one game all season (a first-game licking by Athens) and
went into Friday night’s semi-final battle in the Trojan gym as fa
vorites to take the affair. Castronis’s crew had downed the charges
of Arnold Delaperriere recently in regular season play, and it looked
like all Hartwell.
However, the Trojans wouldn’t be denied, and paced by the
improved Donald Seagraves and the old stand-by John Marshall,
racked up the invaders by a one-sided 42-26 count,
Athens won the Tenth District championship last season, defeating
Watkinsville in the finals, 31-39, and reached the semi-finals in the
state tournament in Macon.
JUST LIKE spring follows winter, night follows day, and sunshine’
follows the rain, baseball is set to take up where basketball will soon
leave off. And for one, this corner is glad to see it coming. |
March isn’t far off, and with that windy month brings forth the
spring training camps from Florida to California, where the profes
sional clubs prepare for the long season ahead. ‘
Already baseball men are putting the New York Yankees on the
spot. With a few new flingers, and a good season expected from the
wveterans, the Bronx Bombers are getting the nod as the pre-season
favorites. With the signing of Joe DiMaggio for 100 “Gs” it even adds
‘more glory in the New York camp — and for that kind of dough, folks
are convinced that the Clipper will have to play great ball. And the
fact still remains — “As goes DiMag, so goes the Yankees.”
OVER IN the National League, talk is quite. The Braves will
probably have the inside track again this season, according to reports
from those who supposedly know the score, but the Cardinals and
Dodgers run a close second. Pittsburg, who made a great run last year,
may have some say-so in the matter, along with Lippy’s New York
Giants.
It's a long time from February to October, so everyone will have
plenty of time to voice opinions on the subject of who will carry the
bacon home.
SHORT CAPERS —— A lot of rumors have been going around
about Wally Butts leaving Georgia for some better-paying position.
With his recent contract renewal, folks can now take it easy. Butts
has signed for 10 more years, at an undisclosed salary.
—— The Masters Tournament in Augusta will be held this year
on April 7-8-9-10. This is one of the greatest sports spectacles in
existence, and althcugh there will be lot of glamour present, the
greatest little competitor in the golf kingdom today will be missing.
Ben Hogan still lies in an El Paso hospital.
—— Joe Geri, Georgia’s hard-running left halfback last season,
has signed a contract with the Pittsburg Steelers of the National Foot
ball League. Joe led the SEC in scoring last season with 90 points,
and did Georgia’s extra point kicking, and also took care of the punt
ing chores. Geri should go far in the play-for-pay ranks.
—— Boston College will tackle five bowl teams on the gridiron
next fall. They are Wake Forest, Oklahoma, Villanova, Clemson and
William and Mary. Of the five, only Wake Forest was defeated on
New Year's day.
——— The Inter-State League umpires will have new uniforms
ihis season. The biggest change is that they’ll wear shirts, but no
jackets. In this era of fashion looks, this will undoubtly be termed
the “800 Look”.
—— With an eight-foot fishing pole, a “sportsman” recently hook
ed S2OO worth of neckties and socks through the letter slot in the door
of a Santa Monica, Calif., men’s shop. That's a new angle, anyway.
Refrigerator
Dealers Here
Cite Progress
More extensive use of equip
ment and hundreds of new pro
duct applications are creating a
tremendous expansion in the com
mercial refrigeration and air con
ditioning business, R. T. Eberhart,
jr. and H. A. Westervelt, of Ath
ens Refrigeration and Appliance
Company, the Frigidaire dealer
ship here, declared yesterday.
Mr. Eberhart and Mr. Wester
velt, who completed a special two
week commercial refrigeration and
air conditioning training school
conducted in Dayton, 0., by Frig
idaire Division of General Motors,
pointed out that commercial re
frigeration equipment sales have
more than tripled during the last
iU-year period.
Important Role
“Refrigeration is playing a more
and more important role in the
‘American way of life,” they em
.phasized. “Commercial refrigera
tion and air conditioning equip
ment is being applied more ex
tensively than ever before in the
home, school, factory, office, store
and farm. Not only food—but
fur, flowers, metals, synthetics,
printed paper and for that matter
all kinds of raw materials are re
frigerated to é€liminate costly
spoilage. During the war, indus
trialists applied refrigeration and
air conditioninig to many phases of
processing, solving tough manu
facturing problems.”
They cited production and sale
of refrigerating units for installa
tion in cases and fixtures of vari
ous kinds as “an indicator” of the
expansion now in progress.
“Twenty vears ago, only 167,000
units - were produced over the
country,” they said, “and yet the
1947 sales volume exceeded one
million—three years ahead of in
dustry predictions—and nearly
four times the 1941 figure of 260,-
000 units.”
Greater Volume
The refrigeration industry in the
Years immediately ahead will be
““ed upon to' supply even a

Loses 4 In
Greenville
The Preps of the Athens Y. M.
C. A. held to expectations yester
day when they whipped two bas
ketball clubs in Greenville, S. C,,
but the other “Y” teams dropped
the remaining four games of the
series.
\ Athens Preps, nothing short of
;sensational in football and at the
‘court game, deefated the Monag
han Mills five, 23-19, and took the
’Greenville “Y” for a ride, 31-22.
The Midgets dropped their game
to Greenville “Y” by the score of
17 to 2 and lost to Monaghan Mills,
40-14. The Cubs lost to Green
ville “Y” by the count of 17 to 9
gnd then lost to Monaghan, 23-
2.
Lumpkin Tops Scorers
High scorer in the Preps’ vic
tory over Monaghan was Jackie
Lumpkin with ten tallies. Larry
Jones was next with four points,
and top scorer for the losers was
Powers scoring ten points. Ath
ens played steady ball through
out. .
In the Preps’ other win Lump
kin again went away with top of
fensive honors hitting the hoops
for another ten tallies. Allan Bar
ber and Jones bucketed eight each
and Bobby Duncan dropped in
four points. Guard Bobly Mar
but sank one point.
Tops in scoring for thse losers
was Fowler with seven points fol

Athens Wins District Title, 51-35
Winterville Scores 38 -22
Victory To Capture Class
“C” Title; Marshall Stars
The Athens Migh Tirojans turned on the steam in the
third quarter here in Woodruff Hall last night and then
finished going away to down Watkinsville, 51-35, and win
the Tenth District Class “B” title.
The game was played as the second tilt of a doubie
header, with Winterville blasting Union Point, 38-22, to
capture the Tenth District “C” title. The finals drew a
crowd of 3,000 avid basketball fans.
Big John Marshall led the Tro
jans to their championship vic-!
tory, shooting 18 points for high
point honors, helping Athens to
control both backboards with sen
sational under-the-hoops play.
Jack Tarpley, firebrand forward
for the Oconee County School
quintet, nailed down top honors
for his team, getting 11 points in
the fast-moving cage battle.
Athens chalked up the first field
goal almost at the opening whis
tle, but then the lead see-sawed
back and forth and found the
count knotted at the quarter, 10-
10,
Fast Third Quarter i
It was in the third quarter that
the ball game and the District
champion was decided. Athens
came back fast and added two
points on a lay-up shot by Don
Seagraves, but Tarpley matched
it with one of his own before a
minute had passed. Baskets flew
thick and fast then, interrupted
often by signals from the referees,‘
until the Trojans finally hit theiri
stride and pulled ahead 33-23 at
‘third-quarter time. |
Watkinsville began clicking and
narrowed it to 40-33 at the three
minute mark, but wilted before
lanother Trojan barrage of two
pointers and were behind by 16
points as the gun went off.
} T. L. Vaughn, Watkinsville
lguard, never quit hustling and
was a mainstay in the Watkins
i ville attack. He bucketed six
lpoints. Warren Thurmond and
lTommy Lovern gave the Trojans
| plenty of punch at the guards,
Thurmond tallying eight and
Lovern adding another five.
Carter And Holcomb
, Set shots by Guard Ralph Car
\ ter and the all-around play of
Athens in the Midget-Greenville
“Y” tilt. He hit the hoops for two
points. High scores for the win
ners were Smith, Major, and Han
ey with four tallies each.
Pound, Chapman Star
In the other Midget tilt Merritt
Pound , and Elmer Chapman each
scored four points apiece to ac
count for over half of Athens’ 14
points. Scoring the most of Mona
ghans’ 40 tallies were Crawford
with ten points and Crane with
12 tallies.
In the closest tilt of the day the
Monaghan Mill Mites setback
Athens Cubs, 23 to 22. High for
Athens were Tommy Carteaux
with ten points and Squeaky
Simpson with six points. Tops in
the scoring column for the win
ners was Busbee with nine points.
In the other Cubs defeat Chester
Leathers hit the nets for four
points. Taylor of the Greenville
“Y” led his team with 11 tallies.

Charles Holcomb, slick ball
handler, gave the Trojans trouble
throughout the game.
Ted Short and Don Seagraves,
Athens forwards, played one of
their best games of the season and,
along with Thurmond and” Mar
shall, gave the Trojans their share
of the rebounds from the boards.
Short racked up eight and Sea
graves dropped in ten points. ‘
Winterville Triumps ‘
Winterville, one of the most
powerfrl Class “C” outfits in the
State, romped over a Union Point
team in the 8 o’clock affair, 38-
22, and gained the right to repre
sent the Tenth District in the Ma-‘
con tourney.
Charles Palmer, tall Winterville
center, was the big gear in the fast
Winterville offensive and tallied
22 points for one of his best nights’
work. His brother, Billy, hit the
Union Point nets for another eight
points, Donald Pittard got five and
Elliott Williams, plucky guard,
rounded out the Winterville score
column with three points.
- Smith racked up eight points
| and high honors for Union
Pointers, but his efforts were in
lvain. Winterville grabbed a quick
lead in the game, and were never
} in serious danger. They held a 19-
14 advantage at intermission, and
raised it to 26-18 at the third
- quarter to coast on to victory.
Good play under the baskets
‘and hustling all the way were big
i assets for the Clarke County quin
itet, and the team functioned as a
i smooth unit most of the playing
'time.
