Banner-Herald Sports Etitor
Carl (Ace) Adams will be attempting a fresh start for
the Georgia Bulldogs in the Southeastern Conference base
ball chase this afternoon in Atlanta, zs the Red and Black
tee off in the first of four games with the Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets.
Trailing Kentucky by a handfull
of percentage points i the Eastern
Division race, the Georvians must‘
make these last four conference
tilts count if they expect to cap- |
ture top honors this campaign.
After today's game on Rose Bowl
field, the two clubs return to Ath
ens tomorrow afternoon for a sin
gle affair over on Ag Hill, the
game beginning at 3 o’clack. Char
ley Kell will be Coach Jim What
ley’s pitching choice for the Ag
H4l affair. i
The Bulldogs put themselves in
a crucial position when they lost
their last three outings ag=zinst
conference opposition, one to Ken- i
tucky and two to Tenwessee. Ken- |
tucky 2nd Georgia both have four |
tilts remaining en the seasom, so|
it’ll be decided on the stretchg
drive, 1
After the two-game skein this |
week-end, the Jackets and Bull-|
dogs have two more slated for next
week-end, with the Friday game
here in Athens, and the seaason
finale set for Rose Bowl field in
Atlanta.
Coach Whatley’s starting team
today, and in all probability it will
be the same tomorrow, will have
Art Mitchell on first base, Paul
Eskew at the keystone, Jim Um
bricht at shortstop and Hokey
Jackson at third. The outfield will
consist of Jim (Kid) Bagwell in
left field, Austin Eason in center

Trojans,
Winder
Play At 4
+BY CURTIS DRISKELL ",
Athens High and Winder
were scheduled for their sec
ond meeting on the baseball
diamond at Princeton this
afternoon at 4 o’clock. The
Bulldogs hold a previous 5-1
win over the Trojans, a win
made possible by Billy
White’s brilliant four-hit
pitching last Saturday night
in Winder.
White could be the mound
choice again today when the two
clubs clash, but it was not certain
that Coaches Arnold DeLaPerriere
and Milton Moore would nomin
ate Avery Harvill for another
pitching chore. Harvill, the work
horse of the Trojan staff, has
pitched four of Athens High’s six
games, going seven full innings
against Elberton here Wednesday.
Tommy Williams and Bryant
(Zeb) Hines, both with ene vic
tory and no losses, are rested and
ready for action in case Harvill
doesn’t get the starting nod.
Outfield Set
Bill Compton, who has missed
the last three games on account of
illness, was to be out of action
again today, and Bill Saye, first
baseman and outfielder was to
take over his leftfield slot again.
Richard Riddling in rightfield and
Jerry Price in centerfield will
complete the Trojan cutfield.
Grady Flanagan, leading Tro
jan batter with a .364 average,
was to be at first base; Charlie
Parrott at second; Sonny Saye at
shortstop; Bobby Wallace at third
base; and Jerry Walker behind
the plate.
Saye boosted his batting average
an even 100 points against Elber
ton, collecting three hits in four
tries and jumping from .250 to .350.
