Storm Wrecks
Pan-Am Props
BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 24—(AP)
A sudden, terrific wind storm
wrecked wooden and plaster deco
rations for the Pan-American
Olympic games early today and
snarled thousands of yards of rib
bon and banners. The wind was
followed by a drenching rain.
But workmen started almost at
once and most of it will be re
paired when President Juan Peron
opens the games in the 130,000 seat
stadium named in his honor.
The storm struck a matter of
hours after the 137-man U. S.
team landed in three huge planes
after a 30-hour flight from New
York and Miami,
Most of the Athletes slept
through the storm and were as
tounded this morning when they
discovered a huge plaster map of
the Western Hemisphere, wgich
marks Argentina’s military college
as an Olympic village, shattered
and broken,
The weather now appears per
fect for the rich ceremonies, pat
terned on those of the Olympic
games and designed to bring to
gether the nations, dominions and
colonies of the Americas in the
friendly bonds of sports.
Athens Girls Win 2 - A Title;
Greenie Boys Thump Trojans
; BY CURTIS DRISKELL
Banner-Herald Sports Editor
The classiest basketball teams in Region 2-A battled to a split decision at the Athens
High gymnasium Friday night in the region al tournament finals. ;
Athens High’s Trojanettes wrested the girls’ erown from defending champion Can
ton with a 59-43 triumph, but Canton’s boys carried home half the prizes by shattering
the title hopes of the Athens Trojans, 65-33. - . .
¥or the Trojanettes, the win was
one of the sweetest victories in a
long time, especially so since the
tournament was the first Class A
playoffs ever entered by an Ath
ens girls team, Canton’s girls took
the title last season by beating
Elberton in the finals,
For the Trojans, crippled far be
low their regular strength by the
loss of Co-Captains Warren Thur
mond and Charlie Parrot, the loss
was the worst defeat suiffered
since Canton drubbed Athens in
Canton, 65-29, two seasons ago.
Marion Hopkins and Pat Mess
er were the standouts for the To
janettes. Marion poured in 33
points to outdo all other players
for the night, and Pat came
through with a sturdy defensive
game that held high-scoring Wil
ma Green to only 12 points.
Drive-In Shots
Hopkins collected most of her
points with sharp drive-in shots
that baffled Canton’s guards.
Messer was a second shadow for
Green until the Athens guard
fouled out late in the game
The Trojanettes had trouble in
forging ahead, but led at the first
quarter, 9-7; at the half, 24-21;
and at the .third quarter mark
38-33. The fourth quarter told the
story, as Athens stretched into a
margin that Canton mnever ap
proached with Hopkins and Jean
Fulcher pacing a fast tempo of
scoring.
Fulcher wound up with 19
points. Green’s 12 points were sec
ond to 14 by Evelyn Graham for
Canton’s highest,
Coach Marion Norris used 11
players in scoring the reverse of
the defending champs, and each

SPLIT HONORS
played her part well. Mary Croft
was the defensive leader for the
Greenies, but fouled out in the
last period.
Canton’s boys erased all doubts
about the outcome after five min
utes of play. Sonny Saye rang up
the first two points for Athens
with 35 seconds gone, but the
Greenies retaliated on Young
Smith’s goal and went on to take
a 16-7 lead at the quarter pole.
Widen Gap
Eleven more points were added
to the Canton side of the books
before the Trojans could get a
point in the second period. With
James Denny snaring a majority of
the rebounds from both boards,
the Greenies piled up a 36-10 ad
vantage before the half ended.
Jimmy Williams scored the lone
field goal and foul throw for Ath
ens during the second quarter,
The Trojans outscored their op
ponents, 13-9, in a third-frame
comeback, but the rally was short
lived. Canton throttled into the
clear and had everything its own
way throughout the final period.
Denny was the big artilléery for
the winners with 23 points, most
ly on recovery shots under the
backboard. Ferrell Sparks was
good support with 12 counters.
Saye was Athens’ top scorer with
nine points, followed by Williams
with six and Dickie Carteaux with
five.
Top Floormen
Bill Compton and Bobby Dun
can were steady floormen for the
Trojans, and Ronnie West kept
the Greenie machine in smooth
operation with his top floor play.
Auburn Names
Coach Sunday
AUBURN, Ala., Feb, 24—(AP)
—-The new Auburn head football
coach likely will be named Sun=-
day night,
This became evident today in
the wake of these develoi)ments:
1. The screening committee of
five former Tiger football players
called a meeting here at 10 a. m.
Sunday to “strt interviewing can=
didates.”
An announcement by Secretary
Marion Talley, Atlanta, said Ralph
Jordan, Georgia assistant, and
Norman Cooper, Louisianna State
line coach, will be the first two
interviewed. Ly
A committeeman, Torrance (Bo)
Russell, Birmingham, previously
said the list had been narrowed to
five or six men, He said Ray
Graves, Georgia Tech assistant,
also is still in the running.
2, It was learned that the fac
ulty athletic committee has called
a meeting for Sunday night.
The screening groug was set up
to whittle the list of more than
100 applicants down to three,
Their names will be turned over
to the faculty committee for a rec=-
ommendation to President Ralph
Draughon. He will make the an
nouncement.
Athens made a game try even
without Thurmond and Parrott,
but with their Friday night finesse,
Canton could have beaten just
about anybody. The Greenies
earned their crown.
Both boys and girls teams from
Athens and Canton will play in
the State Class A tournament in
Atlanta, starting week after next.
