BY JACK HAND
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—(AP)—College football attend
ance held up surprisingly well in 1950, dropping only 3.5
percent a game from the all-time high of last year, accord
ing to an Associated Press survey. Big league baseball was
off 140 - " :
7he East and Far West where
telr sision takes its deepest bite
suf ered severe setbacks but a
<harp increase in the Southwest
held up the overall average. The
Mic west was up slightly and the
Sou 1 dipped about 3 per cent,
close to.the national trend.
Reiurns from 89" scohols, cov=
ering 43 home games showed to
day that the major collegians
played to average crowds of 26-
678 last fall as compared to 27,
651 in 1949, The figures ranged
from 36,744 in the Midwest and
35868 in the Southwest to 19,807
in the East.
The Southwest average was up
11 per cent, the Midwest“ 2 per
cent and all the others dropped
from the South’s 3 per cent to 10
per cent in the East and 12 per
cent in the Far West,
Poor weather, »particularly the
late November snow and wind
storms, hurt the gate in the Mid
west and East, but most schools
were inclined to blame television
competition,
In the Southwest live telecasts
are permitted only when a game
is an assured sellout in advance.
Many of the Midwest schools, with
the exception of Notre Dame, did
not televise, :

at the gate, declining from their

drop of 10,000 per game,

California had another good
year with 358,000 paying to see

Here Tonight
BY ALVA MAYES, JR..
The Athens High Trojans will close out their basketball
season for the Christmas holidays tonight when they meet
the Montezuma Aztecs on their home court in a battle
royal between two of the foremost cage fives in high school
basketball, :
“Y”TakesT'wo,
Drops One Tilt
To Meson Five
The Athens Y. M. C. A. official~
ly opened its basketball season
last night with two victories and
one defeat at the hands of Meson
Academy, of Lexington, in the lo
cal “Y” gymnasium,
The Athens Pre-Midgets won,
36-31, and the “Y” Intermediates
took their game, 47-34. Lexington
whipped the Athens “Y” Cubs, 26-
19. :
In the night’s thrilling finale the
local Intermediates (age 15~16)
were never behind, but the score
was close at times. Herbert
Abrams, Athens leading scorer
with 15 points, made numerous
sensational shots while Allen Eck
er tallied hi 13 points mostly on
difficult goals. Byron Tanner came
through In the third quarter and
gtixded with ten points to his cre
dit.
For Meson Academy “Chick”
Reynolds was the star, being an
outstanding ball-hawk and good
shot. He made 12 points while
teammates Howard Gilmer and
James Woods, the beautiful shot
artists, hit for eight and seven
points respectively,
Athens went ahead, 26-4, in the
first quarter of the game played
by the 13-year old and under
Preps and Midgets then glided in
to a 36-31 victory. Athens scoring
stars in the initial tilt were Ches
ter Leathers and Billy Slaughter,
Leathers, a star athlete was lost to
the football team this season be
cause of a broken leg; however,
Slaughter was a backfield star.
For Lexington Jerry Matthews
shined, playing all-round ball and
collecting nine points while team
mate Bobby Patton got six.
Cub Tilt
In the other tilt, which Lexing
ton took 26-19, Athens could never
click. Lexington, behind the good
shooting of Winfield Tiller, who
scored eight tallies, was superior.
Bobby Bridges, of the winners,
made seven. The g ame’s high
pointer was the Athens Cubs’ Doug
Ross with ten points, He was Ath
eqs’ mainstay, and the height of
Dick Ferguson aided under the
basket.
Last night's game was the In
fermediates third, but was the
season’s opener for the Cubs,
Preps, and Midgets.

Two preliminary tilts to the
main event, which gets underway
around 8:30, have also been sche
duled by Coach Arnold DelLa-
Perriere. The Athens High Tro
janettes will meet the Jefferson
Girls Varsity at 7:30, and the Jay
vee squads from Athens and Jef
ferson will begin action at 6:30,
The feature of tonight's action
promises some of the most fren
zied basketball . activity seen in
this area in some time, The Aztecs
were last year’s Class C State
Champions and have consistently
produced highly rated quintets
within the state,
Athens, on the other hand, was
runner up in Region 2A last year
and for the past several years have
been strong contenders for State
honors. Athens is also undefeated
in action thus far this season.
The Trojans and the Aztecs
have been opponents only once be
fore with the Trojans emerging
victorious by a slim margin. The
two teams faced each other last
year when the Athenians took
their trip through South Georgia
during the Christmas holidays.
The South Georgia trip was un
able to be arranged this season,
thus bringing the Azetcs to Athens
for the return game, which should
provide real entertainment for lo
cal cage fans, M
Both squads are set at similar
strength this year with the Tro
jans having essentially their same
squad from last year with the ex
ception of a few, and the Aztecs
are reportedly in equal clrcum
stance,
Coach DeLaPerriere will start
his regular five tonight against the
Montezumans, consisting of War
ren Thurmond and Dickie Car
teaux at guards, Charlie Parrott
and Bill Compton at forwards and
Sonny Saye at center.
Coach Marion Norris’ girl squad,
which is currently riding the crest
of a five won one defeat record,
will seek their sixth victory to
night at the hands of the Jefferson
lassies. Coach Norris’ starting
lineup for the evening will prob
ably consist of Marion Hopkins,
Jean Fulcher and Sybil Fanning at
forwards, and Pat Messer, Jerry
Alexander and Annelle Williams
at guards,
For the Boys’' Junior Varsity,
Coach DeLaPerriere will start Al
lan Barber and Bill Crane at
guards, Ronnie Griffeth and Wins
ton Wiggins at forwards and prob
ably Ralph Tolbert at center. The
game will be the fifth start for
Athens’ Jayvees.
