Shaughnessy Series
To Begin Tomorrow
The Athens Independent League Shaughnessy Play-off,
three out of five games for the league championship, will
begin tomorrow afternoon at 3 p. m. in Watkinsville where
Whitehall, host team, and winner of two out of three pre
liminary tilts over the Athens V. F. W., will meet Comer,
preliminary winner over Colbert.
Watkinsville will be the site of
the first tilt by mutual agreement
between the two participating
clubs. The remainder of the play
off will be played as follows: Sun
day at Comer, Saturday, Septem
ber 9 at Watkinsville and the fifth
game if necessary will be played
at a location to be determined at
a later date. ;
This vear’s Shaughnessy pair
ings will pit the second and third
place teams in regular season play
against each other. The result is
considered a virtual toss up with
the full five games seen as very
likely.
By league rules, the Shaugnessy
Play-0%", which is held annually
at ‘e close of the regular season
o determine the league champion,
is played between the winners of
two preliminary pairing which
match the first and third place
team at the close of the regular
season games, and the second and
fourth place teams. These pre
liminary pairings are two out of
three tilts for the Shaugnessy
berth.
In this year’s preliminaries,
Whitehall faced the Athens V. F.
W., which finished first this sea
son and took the Athens Veterans
two straight gaimes for their play
off berth. Comer meanwhile went
the full preliminary count, playing
three games before taking two
from Colbert.
Both teams will start their fore
most hurlers in tomorrow’s con
test with Chappell Tate scheduled
to go to the mound for Whitehall
and Jimmy Tucker slated as
starter for the Comer nine.
Tate hurled his Whitehall team
mates to both wins over the Vet
earns for their playoff berth
while Tucker twirled for Comer
against Colbert in the final pre
liminary frey between those two
teams.

Twelve SEC Squads
Set Drills Tomorrow
BY STERLING SLAPPEY
ATLANTA, Aug. 31.—(AP)—With no legal bag limit
to hold them back, Southeastern Conference football
coaches have “invited” nearly 1,300 aspiring candidates
for the opening of practice tomorrow at 12 schools.
By sundown, about one of every six either will be told he
is not the foothall type or he will find it out for himself and
quit after one workout.
~ After the first round of weed
ing out, Southeastern football set-
tles down for what could be its
best season in 10 years.
At almost every school two-per
day workouts will be heid for the
first 10 days or two weeks. Geor
gia will hold _one of its daily
workouts between orange juice
and breakfast to try and beat the
heat.
First games of the season will
be September 15—uprising Florida
playing Wyoming, Gator Bowl
champion, in. Jacksonville at
night, and Kentucky honing itself
against little Tennessee Poly in
Lexington.
The following week-end nine
SEC teams have games—notably
Kentucky vs. Texas at Austin;
Georgia Tech vs. S. M. U. in At
lanta; and Georgia vs. George
Washington at night in Athens.
From September 22 to Decem
ber 1, schedules are practically
solid. About 20 first rate intersec
tional games are sprinkled in for
variety.
Last spring SEC coaches easily
settiec on Tennessee as potential
king of the Dixie game. Since
then several national raters not
only agreed with SEC coaches. but

THE BANNEE-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
picked Tennessee as the nation’s
best.
Neyland Comments
* Such pickings, of course, dis
please General Bob Neyland,
coach of the Vols. Neyland ans
wers thusly, “Our team will be far
below the average in weight,
much smaller than most teams we
will meet.”” He goes on to bemoan
1950 losses and claim his sopho
mores®ust carry him through the
season.
But with such players as Doug
Atkins, Ted Daffer, John Michels,
Gordon Polofsky, Harold Payne,
Vince Kaseta, Bill Pearman, Jim
Haslam, Hank Lauricella and An
dy Kozar, Tennessee has little
room for complaint,
The Vol schedule is a bit tough
er than usual but still it doesn’t
compare with Alabama’s, L. S. U.’s
or Georgia’s.
Alabama and Kentucky ranked
second and third in the coaches’
poll. Alabama's opening day
squad will number about 120, in
cluding 24 lettermen. After early
pruning the Tide should number
about 80. Among the 80 will be
the closest challenger to Ken
tucky’s Babe Parilli as the* best
back in the South. He’s Bobby
Marlow, a tackle size halfback
who covers ground like a scat
back.
Graduation Felt
Kentucky, like Tennessee, won
its bowl date but the Wildcats lost
heavily by graduation. A varsity
squad of 60 includes only 17 vet
erans, \
The fourth teamr given a chance
to challenge for the championship
is Tulane. Henry Frnka’s team,
however, is ycung and generally
inexerienced, Of 51 varsity squad
men, 14 are lettermen.
‘Last spring Georgia was rated
seventh, but during the summer
the Bulldogs’ reputation improved
and Wally Butts’ team is now the
SEC darkhorse. Georgia’s 35 let
termen are the most for any SEC
scshool. Tech has 28 and L. S. U.
18.
Vanderbilt and Auburn bring
up the rear in the present ratings
while they continue their attempt
to comeback. Florida and Missis
sippi State are two seasons ahead
of Vandy and Auburn in their
comeback but neither is ranked in
the top half of the conference.
Coach Johnny Vaught at Mis
sissippi sums up his teanr by say
ing, “We’'ll do well if a dozen
sophomores come through.”
Tom Tatum, ex-Brooklyn Dod
ger outfielder, is now managing
Oklahoma City in'the Texas
League,

YOUNG BLOOD-——Running, kicking or passing, the accent is on youth in the National Football
League with such recruits as Kyle Rote, left, Ebert Van Buren, center, and Brad Rowland. Rote of the
New York Giants was a two-year All-America at Southern Methodist. Van Buren, who'll play along
side his celebrated brother, Steve, with the Philadelphia Eagles, followed him as a crashing carrier and
kicker at Lousiana State. Rowland of the Chi¢ago Bears did everything superlatively for little Mc-
Murrv of Ahilene. Tex. (NEA) 1 #

Wallace Butts, on the eve of the openin&-‘df his thir
teenth season as head football coach at the /Univeristy of
Georgia, had a wonderful dream which f?&lled his fond
est hopes for the 1951 Bulldogs. )
This is what he dreamed:
Georgia will gain as much
yardage on total offense as his
SEC and Rose Bowl champions of
1942: 4,725 yards (still SEC re
cord).
Georgia will pass for 2,101 yards,
the SEC record set by Sinkwich,
Trippi and Co. in 1942. (still
standing)
Georgia pass defense will ac
count for 33 interceptions, SEC
record (stiil exisling) set by his
SEC and Sugar Bowl champions
of 1946.
Bob Durand will convert PAT
attempts as successfully as did Joe
PRACTICE BEGINS

will be from 6:30-8:30 in the
morning, 4-6 in the afternoon.
Geri on the SEC championship
team of 1948 (still SEC record at
36x39).
Zippy Morocce- will gain as
mueh yardage on pass-receptions
as did Reid vioseley in 1945 when
he set SEC record of 662 yards
and average as much on the gains
as did Lamar (Rase Horse) Davis
in 1942 when he averaged 28.5
for SEC record. ;
Zeke Bratkowski will pass for
1,392 yards, the SEC record hung
up by Sinkwich in 1942.
Lauren Hargrove will rush for
1,103 yards, the SEC ‘mark set by
Sinkwich in 1941,
Mel Cook will rush and pass for
2,187 yards, SEC mark (still stand
ing) set by Sinkwich in 1942.
Captain Claude Hipps will in
tercept as many as eight aerials,
SEC record set by Clyde Ehrhardt
in 1941 and equalled by Eli Mar
icich in 1948, and that he will
return them for as many as 189
yards, SEC record (still standing)
set by Maricich in 1948.
Bratkowski will average as
much as 184 per yard on pass
completions, SEC record (still
standing) set by Johnny Rauch in
1948.

Yanks Top Indians:
Lead By Half Game
’ BY RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
This is the time of year that second division clubs get 11,
most fun out of baseball—knocking off the contenders,
The Philadelphia Athletics are a good example. The
will have to pay their way into the World Series but ha:
been raising merry ned of late with the top four teams i
the American League flag chase.
The A’s, a sad seventh, knocked
Cleveland out of a first place tie
with the New York Yankees yes
terday, beating the Tribe, 6-2, for
their second straight decision over
the Indians. The idle Yanks
moved a half game out in front.
During the past few weeks the
A’s also have split eight games
with the Yanks, divided six with
the third place Boston Red Sox
and took three out of four from
Chicago’s fourth place White Sox.
Rookie Victory
Rookie lefthander Morrie Mar
tin, with help in the eighth from
Carl Scheib, posted his tenth vic
tory against four setbacks in
downing the Indians yesterday.
Bob Feller, gunning for his 21st
victory, was tagged for his seventh
defeat. The A’s clipped Feller for
a pair of runs in the second and
added four more in the third. An
error by outfielder Bob Kennedy
with the bases loaded and two out
permitted three of the four third
inning runs.
The third place Red Sox downed
the Detroit Tigers, 10-4, to move
to within 4% games of the Yanks.
The Red Sox iced the game with
four runs in the ninth.
In the National League, the
Brooklyn Dodgers defeated Cin
cinnati, 3-1, the Pittsburgh Pirates
clipped the New York Giants, 10-
9, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated
Philadelphia 6-3 and the Boston
Braves swamped the Chicago Cubs,
16-2. The Dodgers’ victory and
the Giants defeat moved Brooklyn
seven games out in front.
Preacher Roe and Clyde King
stopped the Reds on seven hits
under the lights at Brooklyn.
Home Runs Y
Home runs featured the Giant-
Pirate game at New York. Ralph
Kiner won the game for the Bucs
by belting his 37th homer in the
ninth. Rookie Frank Thomas, Gus
Bell and Pete Castiglione also
homered for the Pirates. Willie
Mays banged two and pinch-hitter
Bill Rigney one for the Giants.
Murry Dickson, working in relief,
picked up his 18th victory for the
tail-enders,
The Braves pounded a trio of
Chicago pitchers for 15 hits to
allow Jim Wilson to coast to his
sixth victory.
