BULLDOGS PLACE SECOND
SEC Swimming
Go Fleet Affair
Only one record was broken in the ninth annual South
eastern Conference swimming meet at Georgia Tech’s pool
Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights but the meet was
ene of the fastest in the conference’s history.
Tech’s pool has only gix lanes
pnd the swimmers create such a
choppy water condition that they
mre considerably slowed-—espec=
Jally the swimmers in the inside
and outside lanes one and six, who
patch the full force of the waves
dashing against the sides of the
narrow yool,
The meet was expected to be
a three-way battle between
Georgia Tech, winner of the
| last three meets; Florida, win
ner of the first five meets, and
the University of Georgia, often
runnerup. That’s the way it
turned out with Georgia Tech
‘wnmlu on 82 points against
Georgila’s 75, Florida’s 71, and
| Vanderbilt’s 14.
Two bad decisions by officials
prevented the final score from
plucingrfs‘lorida and Georgia Tech
in a t-place tie at 79 points
with Georgia at 76 points, In the
400-yard free style relay Friday
night Georgia finished first by
half the length of the pool, Flor
fda second by the same advantage
and Georgia Tech third. But
Georgia Tech wag given second
place (eight points instead of
six) and Florida was disqualified
by its anchor-man Lou Brown
pllegedly missed his last turn,
Even in the national champion
t:g. this penalty is never called
use it is well known that a
swimmer missing his turn doés
not gain a thing, but usually
loses ground.
The second officials’ miscue
cost Georgia’s Joe Stock a well
earned fourth place in the 100-
yard free style finals. Vandy’s
Frank Wilson was a surprise
winner, with Georgia’s Charlie
Cooper a close second, Florida's
defending champion Lou Brown
third, It seemed that Brown and
Btock finished in a dead heat
for third and fourth places,
Fech’s Harrison five yards
back, and Georgia’s Bill Fisch
an obvious sixth and last place.
But the officials completely
missed out on Stock for some
veason and gave Harrison
fourth and Fisch sixth., It cost
Georgia a point and gave Tech
an undeserved point. Thus Tech
benefitted greatly on both these
decisions,
Georgia, which lost 69-66 to
Tech in last year's meet, has
counted on winning this meet.
Although most of the boys swam
up to their capabilities and some
even surpassed expectations, sev
eral of the boys were below par
and that cost Georgia the cham
pionship. Georgia had five soph
omores in the finals and each was
guilty of mistakes which can be
charged to inexperience,

free style relay Friday night,
Florida’s boys seemed to lose their
usual fight and did not swim up
to par in any event, '
Georgia’s Bill Volk came
through in grand style. He up
set Georgia Tech’s Paige Grif
fin in the 200-yard breaststroke,
and finished a good second to
the three-times champion Tom
my Towles of Tech, who broke
his own record with a 2:31.9
clocking. Griffin twice had con
quered Volk this season but
Bill touched him out in 2:35.6
—a new Georgia school record.
Volk easily won the 100-yard
breaststroke in 1:03.7. Volk, inci
dentally, is the only Georgia
swimmer in the meet who would
stand an outside chance of plac
ing in the national meet.
Georgia’s - captain, Horace
Stasser, defending his low board
diving championship in fine
style but was not up to par on
the high beard, losing for the
first time in his career to Flor
ida’s Sam Ridout, who dove ex
ceptionally well and deserved
his championship.
Surprise of the Georgia team
was senior backstroker Rhett Tur~
nipseed who placed fourth in
both the 150-yard and 100-yard
backstrokes, and nearly got third
each time. He beat both Tech’s
Avery and teammate Jack Avrett
in each race, and Avery and.
Avrett had licked him all season
long.
Look out for Bump Gabriel
sen’s Bulldogs next . season,
though. They will be much
stronger, and the meet may be
held in the nation’s finest in
door pool — Stegeman Hall’s
mammoth tank where there are
so many lanes there is nary a
ripple as the lads cut through
the water.

Suffering
With Heel
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.,
March 13.—(AP)—Joe Di-
Maggio has heel trouble
again — but it’s not serious
this time.
The slugging New York
Yankees’ outfielder came up
with a blistered right heel—
the same one which gave
him so much trouble last
spring — and was excused
from the world champions’
exhibition game with the St.
Louis Cardinals yesterday.
Yankee Trainer Gus Mauch list
ed the case a minor one. Even
Casey Stengel, the Bombers’ man
ager, is not worried. “He could
play tomorrow if it was improved,
but naturally we’re not taking any
chances” Stengel said.
VERO BEACH, Fla., March 13—
(AP)—The Brooklyn Dodgers’ in
jury list—already bulging—had
three new members today.
Infielders Eddie Miksis and Ed
die Hicks and pitcher Morrie Mar
tin were injured over the week
end to make a total of eight in
jured Dodgers.
PHOENIX, Arizona., March 13—
(AP)—The New York Giants’
pitching staff, the club’s No. 1
question mark, must improve on
yesterday’s showing if the New
Yorkers are going to make the
first division this season.
Five of Manager Leo Durocher’s
hurlers were pounded for 17 hits
for 18 runs by the Cleveland In
dians. Cleveland won, 18-6,
RIVERSIDE, Calif., March 13—
(AP)—Frankie Frisch, the Chica
go Cubs skipper, is concerned
about one of his top pitchers, Bob
Rush.
Rush, who is being counted on
to take a mound assignment every
fourth day, so far has not been too
impressive. In an intra-camp
game at Catalina Island he was
belted for three hits in two innings.
Saturday the White Sox gathered
eight hits and six runs off him in
three innings.
TUCSON, Ariz.,, March 13 —
(AP)—Too much schooling, rea
sons Coach Al Simmons, ruins a
baseball player.
The former Philadelphia Athle
tics coach explained, “They (rook
ies) attend baseball schools and
are taught how to hit by a lot of
old major league ball players who
never hit over .250 in their lives.
Whatever natural ability they have
is ruined by instructors who make
the kids change their batting
stances to conform with some
phony theories.”
TAMPA, Fla.,, March 13—(AP)
—The Cincinnati Reds already
have gone to both extremes of
hitting in their 1950 spring train
ing.
The Rhinelanders got only five
hits Saturday as they dropped a 3
to 1 decision to the Boston Red
Sox in their opening exhibition
game. Yesterday it was just the
opposite. They lambasted three
Detroit pitchers for 13 hits, in
cluding five home runs, as they
whipped the Tigers, 10 to 8.
