Joe Jordan Dies
At Indiana Home
BY DAN MAGILL, JR.
Little Joe Jordan died yes
terday back in Indiana on
his father’s farm near Lyons.
Although it was not publi
cized, Joe's friends had
kmown for several months
that doctors had diagnosed
his ease as incurable cancer.
Joe was the greatest basketball
player at Georgia I have seen in
my time, also the most colorful
player, no matter what the uni
form.
His last game in a Bulldog uni
form was the most sensational and
courageous performance ever giv
en i Woodruff Hall, in my opin
ion. It was against a crack Alaba
ma tgam Thursday night Feb. 15
this year, Joe, although no one had
Teason to suspect it, already was
under the control of the malady
that took his life. He had told
teammates of being sore and
bruised for a week or more and
had spent a couple of days in bed
in his room at the old Lucas house
on the campus. Coach Jim Whatley
did met start Joe against Alabama
but when the Crimson Tide rolled
to a 39-22 advantage after two
minutes of the second half, Joe in
formed Coach Whatley he felt
much better and begged to get in
the game.
Joe went Into the game and there
is little doubt that only lack of
time prevented him from leading
Georgia to victory., Alabama won.
56-53, but Joe scored 15 points in
less than a half's play. Time and
time again he stole the ball and
outmaneuvered the defenders with
his dazzling speed to score, and on
these eccassions Georgia students
almest lifted the roof with their
cheers—probably the greatest ova
tion ever given a Bulldog basket
ball player.
Joe spent his remaining days in
the Athens General Hospital,
veterans’ hospital at Chamblee,
Ga., and at Indianapolis, Ind., and
on his beloved farm near Lyons.
It was in the backyard of his
farm that Joe learned to play bas
ketball, shooting at a hoop from a
peach basket.
Joe himself, not knowing the ex
tent of his illness, was very an
xious to return to his farm. When
he ecame thrcugh Athens in May,
en route home to Indiana, he told
friends: “There's nothing the
matter with me that life on the
farm won't cure. I'm just a coun
try boy who has been away from
home too long.”
Joe was 28 on April 26. An army
veteran, he was considerably old
er than most college basketball
players. There’s no telling how
long he had been in the clutch of
cancer, but for his past two sea
sons at Georgia Joe had shown
lack of stamina. Joe himself used
to explain this condition by say
ing, “I'm getting too old for his
game.” . SRR
Joe was a peerless ballhawk
and drfobler. One of his greatest
performances came this past sea
son against Georgia Tech in At
lanta Feb. 7. Tech led all the way
but Georgia finally took the lead
at 54-53 with two minutes to play.
Joe and his fellow guard, Zippy
Moroeco, managed to freeze the
ball those last two minutes with a
brilliant display of dribbling
speed.
Georgia students carried Joe off
the floor of Woodruff Hall Jan, 15
this year when Joe's last second
basket, after he had stole the ball,
beat Tulane 72-70. He scored 19
points that night and Tulane coach
Cliff Wells called him an “All-

GEORGIA'S JOE JORDAN
All-time Bulldog Guard
American.”
Joe was a standout in Georgia’s
greatest basketball victory in two
decades when the Bulldogs toppled
mighty Kentucky here Jan. 17,
1950 by a 71-60 score.
Adolph Rupp called him the best
ball hawk in the conference after
that game, *
Joe came to the attention of
Georgia basketball coach Sug Jor
dan (now at Auburn) at the all-
American basketball congress in
Atlanta in 1947. He was playing
with the Hoosier Ambassadors and
made the all-tournament team.
He accepted a grant in aid to
Georgia and entered school that
fall.
Funeral services will be held
Friday at Bloomfield, Ind.

The Rattlesnakes of the Athens
YMCA softball league Monday de
feated the hard playing but jinxed
Soups with a 17-11 score. These
two teams are competing in the
Cub league of the softball pro
gram that .is being sponsored by
the “Y” for the recreation of the
boys who are spending the sum
mer at home.
The Rattlesnakes were paced to
their win by Doug Ross, ace pitch
er for their team. Ross gave up
thirteen hits to the Soups but re
deemed himself for the hits with
a total of six strikeouts during the

ty of two errors and did not strike
out any.
Hurling was the deciding factor
in the tilt as Tolbert, the Soup

the Rattlesnakes and was unable
to fan any of the ’Snake batters.
The Soups were guilty of five er
rors.

Mfg. Defeats Docs;
Dairypak Forfeits
Municipal League fans last night saw only one of the
two scheduled frays at the American Legion field. The
first game between the General Hospital Docs and Athens
Manufacturing Company resulted in a 16-14 win for the
Manufacturing team at the end of seven innings of play,
while the Dairypak team which was scheduled to play the
DeMolays was forced to forfeit due to not having enough
men present to play. i g il & B
The Docs played true to their
revitalized form last night as they
tried with a great deal of success
to hold the Mfg. boys who were
determined to take the tilt. .
Used Two Hurlers
The Docs used Dr. Neighbors
and Dr. Smith on the maind who
gave up the sixteen runs on fif
teen hits that were earned by the
Manufacturers. The Docs’ errors
were possibly one of the deciding
factors in the game although they
were able to field the ball with
great skill at times in the game.
The second inning of the tilt was
the disasterous one for the. hard
playing Docs as they allowed the
Athens Mfg. team to stretch out
six hits to bring in five runs.
The Docs recovered partially
from that inning in the last round
of the fray as they retalliated by
bringing in five runs on seven hits
but were unable to get the addi
tional -runs at that late time to
win the tilt.
Shackleford hurled the entire
game for the Mfg, team and sur
rendered twenty-one hits to the
Docs. The Mfg. team had their
adge on the Docs in the base run
ning department and in the field.
The local medics had them beaten
so far as hits were concérned but
were not able to stretch the bases
out to bring in valuable tallies. At
one time in the game the Mfg.
boys crossed the home bag three
times without earning a hit.
Hitting Regular
Hitting was regular for both
teams with no spectacular hits be
ing accredited to either aggrega
tions. The large part of the runs
were scored on singles and doubles
that came at the right time.
The second game of the night
was not played for the records but
was played as a practice tilt. The
Dairypakers had been forced to
forfeit the game as a result of
several of their key men being
away at the fast-league softball
tourney at Toccoa.

The Cleveland Indians, favoriteg
in many quarters to end the two
year reign of the New York Yan
kees as American League cham
‘pions, are nearing the mark or
break phase of the pennant race.
Following their current brief
home stand, the Indians embark
on a short road trip and then re
turn home August 20 for an 13-
‘game stay that in all probability
will decide their fate.
The Indians, trailing the pace
setting Yankees by a half game
today, must clean up on their
long home stand. Pennants seldom
are won on the road.
Mike Garcia, husky righthand
er, pitched the Indians to within
a half ganre of the Yanks last
night in turning back the St. Louis
Browns, 5-1, in a neat four-hitter,
The Yanks were idle. In other
American League games the third
place Boston Red Sox bowed, 7-1,
to the Philadelphia Athletics and
the Chicago White Sox nipped the
Detroit Tigers, 2-1, in 18 innings,
The Red Sox now trail by 45
games and the White Sox by 6.,
In the National League, the
Philadelphia Phillies took a twi
night doubleheader from the Bos
ton Braves, 3-1 and 1-0, in 15 in
nings; the Chicago Cubs downed
the Cincinnati Reds, 4-1, and the
St. Louis Cardinals swamped the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 16-7. The New
York Giants and Brooklyn Dodg
ers were rained out.
Garcia blanked the Browns on
two scratch hits until the ninth
when he lost his shutout. He help
ed his own cause with a three
run homer in the sixth.
The A’s came from behind to
beat the Red Sox. Bobby Doeir
. drove in all of Boston’s runs with
- a pair of doubles.
