Dulldog Heroes Will
e In Hall Of Fame
(1 order that the deeds of those who have brought fame
i, their Alma Mater across the nation shall be properly
_ypreciated, the Palace Theatre is founding a Hall of Bull
dog Heroes as deserved recognition and permanent re
rinder of the men who wrote !arge their names in the
~oalm of athletics at the Ug}\'erslty of Georgia.
l The Hall of Bulldog Heroes will
pe patterned in general after
hoseball's Mall of Fame in Water
own, N. Y., Dan Hill, local rep
rentative of the Savannah Thea
(os Company, which operates’ the
palace and Ritz and Drive-In
Theatres, has announced.
Mr. Hill said the lobby of the
palace will house the Hall of Bull
doo Heroes and that the northern
wall will first be utiized. On it
will be hung plagues of the hand- |
prints and foot-prints of Georgia's
preat in athletics, accompanied by
a picture of each and underneath
s legend telling of their accom
plishments. 3
A Board of Directors will make
the selections to go into the Hall
of Heroes, Five persons will com
prise this board. They are Head
Football Coach and Athletic Di
rector at the University, Wallace
Butts; President of the Touch
down Club, W. O, McDowell; Mr.
Hill: Dan Magill, director ‘of ath
letic publicity at the University,
and Bryan C. Lumpkin, associate
editor of the Banner-Herald.
Selection Plan
Under the plan of selection a
maximum of two players, or oth
ers would be selected from the
then current year at the Univer
sity. Not more than two could be
sclected from a current year.
However, il there were, say, five
outstanding in the field of ath
letics in one year, while only two
could be selected, the other three
could be chosen later.
The field of those who have
brought renown to the University
in years past is almost limitless
and in this category the board
would select a maximum of three
each year, While it is not manda
tory that the board select any in
either category, and it could hap
pen in regard to a current year,
there is slight chance that the
three would not be selected for
past years, so rich is the field in
that division. ; TS T oW
Following the decision on selec
tions, the Palace will set aside a
night for disclosure of the names
|a:. ! presentation of the awards. A
ceremony will be held om the stage
and until that moment none but
the board and those selected will
know to whonr the awards will go.
For the past several months Mr.
Hill has been working on the
plan and studying the Watertown
procedure, Here’s the way he sums l
it up f
The Purpose
“The deeds of almost countless
men who attended the University
have been written large in the
record books. These men helped
spread the fame and renown of

ple we live more in the present

greater, The Hall of Bulldog He
roes will help, in a measure, to
correct this injustice to the men
who gave greatly of themselves
five, ten, thirty, even fifty years
Ago to advance the welfare and
favorable recognition of our Uni
versity. At the same time it
means that the heroes of this day,
if they fail to make the Hall in
their current year, will still have
the chance of future selection.
“The Board of Directors, those
who will niake the selections, have
been working for some time to
arrive at the most nearly perfect
system.of accomplishing that end.
“The Board will shortly an
nounce the procedure of selection
and. all other details of this under
taking which it considers to be one
of importance to the University,
to the people of our community
who directly or indirectly are af
fected by the welfare of the Uni

since no permanent fornr of pub
lic recqhgnition has been paid these
men who gave so much for their
University, it is high time such
‘an institution as the Hall of Bull
dog Heroes was established,” Mr.
‘Hill Continued.

College Sports
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—(AP)
—The Executive Commrittee of the
American Council of Education
tonight unanimously approved a
plan which would clamp strict
controls on college sports.
In doing so the committee ig
nored recommendations made by
the National Collegzte Athletic
Association earlier today that
some of the rules be softened. The
NCAA had suggested that con
trolled football practice be allow
ed, and that no ban be put on
football bow!l games until a study
of the question is completed.
' Instead the Executive Commrit
tee adopted a plan which would
}greatly change some practices now
common in college athletics,
~ In adopting, with only minor
reservations, the code drawn up
by 11 college presidents, the Exe
cutive Committee decided that:
1. Football games and practices
should be kept strictly within the
season, from September 1 to the

Georgia’s swimmers, turning in their finest performance
of the season, handed Florida State University its first loss
in a dual meet since 1950 in Stegeman Hall pool Saturday

The Bulldogs, in snapping the
Seiminoles’ consecutive victory
string at 19, also avenged a 42-42

month.
Charley Guyer, Georgia's All-
America breaststroke last year of

star 50 yard free stylers, Sid
Baruch and Dick Wells, by win

23.8 seconds. Georgie’s Jim Harris
also upset Brauch and Wells.
Steve Mitakis remained unde

regular season game for the
Athens High Trojans in Mar

school’s individual scoring re
cord of 307 points scored in one
season with his 20 points against
the Blue Devils.
Webb, who has been a mainstay
in the Trojan lineup all season,
ran his point total for the year
to 320 against the Devils. This
season was his first with the
Trojan varsity, but he saw ac

2. Outright athletic scholarships
should be abolished.
3. Basketball practice and gamres
should be limited to a three and
a half month period, which could
fall anywhere between November
1 and March 15, at the school’s

Deadlock In
Texas Open
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 16—
(AP)—The SIO,OOO Texas Open
turned into a free-for-all today as
four players tied for the lead at
36 holes with cards of 132.
While Lew Worsham of Oak
mont, Pa., the first round leader,
faded somewhat, Tony Holguin of
San Antonio, Jay Hebert of Great
Neck, Long Island, N. Y.; Walter
Romans of Baltimore, Md., and
Jack Burke of Houston, Texas,
pushed into a deadlock for the top.
Fantastic rounds came at every
turn as the field of more than 160
players assaulted the 6,4oo~yard
Brackenridge Park Course. But
Worsham wasn’t doing so well—
he had an even par 71 to make his
total 134.
Hebert first posted a 64. Then
came Romans with a 68 to go
with his first roung 64. Next
Burke shot a 65. Then Holguin
rounded out the leading contin
gent with a 64.
But the greatest round of the
day was that shot by Toby Lons of
Jamestown, N. Y., who did a 10-
under-par 61 with a fabulous
eight-under-par 28 on the front
nine. The round was one stroke
over the PGA record for 18 holes
set here last year by Al Brosch of
Garden City, N. Y., and tied last
week at El Paso by Bill Nary of
Albuguerque, N. M.
Lyons’ great round gave him a
36-hole total of 134 and put him
up with thte leaders. He had a 73
in the first round.
.The 28 on the front nine was
two strokes over the PGA record
for nine holes set in 1945 at Or
lando, Fla., by Stan Horne of
Montreal, Canada. Horne played
in the tournament here.

U. S. Takes First
In Olympic Skating
OSLO, Feb, 16. — (AP) — An unprecedented one-two
triumph for speed skaters Ken Henry and Don McDermott
plus a topflight performance in the men’s downhill ski
race by collegian Bill Beck produced another stan-span
gled day today for Uncle Sam’s forces in the Sixth Winter
Olympics. ‘ s LA
Henry, weakened by a siege of
influenza and out of practice,
zoomed to victory in the 500 meter
skating race in 43.2 seconds, just
a tenth of a second off the Olym
pic record held by Norway’s Finn
Helgesen.
Helgesen, who set the mark of
43.1 at the St. Moritz games in
1948, was a badly beaten fifth as
Henry, wiry young Chicagoan,
and McDermott, 22-year-old drill
ing company employe from En
glewood Cliff, N. J., scored one of
the biggest upsets in Olmpic his
tory. -
42 Demons
McDermott streaked home in
43.9 for second place in the field
of 42 speed demons from 14 na
tions who performed on slushy,
meiting ice before a crowd of
28,000 at Baslett Stadium.
Meanwhile, over at Jorefjell,
Beck, willowy 22-year-old all
round athlete at Dartmouth Col
lege, turned in the best Olympic
showing ever by an American
male skier by finishing fifth in
the downhill race.
This event, the only other
championship decided on the third
day of these colorful games, was
won by Zeno Colo, a balding little
Italian wood-chopper, who they
said was getting too old for this
rugged sport.
Colo, 32, showed them by shoot
ing down the mile and a’ half,
wooded mountainside in two min
utes, 30.8 seconds to tie the course
record. Two Austrians, Othmar
Schneider and Christien Pravda,

Banner-Herald Sports Editor
Staging a sizzling last quarter surge the Marietta Blue
Devils rallied to a 55-50 victory over the Athens High Tro
jans in Marietta I'riday night where the Trojans closed out
their 1952 cage season with a 21-3 seasons’ record.
The Athens Trojanettes claimed their 19th victory of
the season over the Marietta Devilettes prior to the boys’
game as they downed the homestanding sextet, 49-80, to
close out their schedule also.
Coach Arnold DeLaPerriere’s
Trojan charges were well on their
way to victory when the onslaught
of Blue Devil baskets, marked to
spell their defeat, began to swish
the nets. Athens led at the half~
way mark in the contest 33-25,
but renewed life evidenced in the
late stages of the third quarter
by the Devils proved only an in
dication of what was to come in
the last two minutes of the con
test.
Paced by lanky Buddy Field,
center, and Irvin Truelove, the
Devils began pouring in the bas
kets at the three minute mark
and did not stop until the final
seconds when with their five point
margin they put on a semi-freeze
which lasted until the game was
over. :
Backboard Margin
Field’s backboard prowess
proved the margin for the win
ning Devils who had lost a pre
vious encounter wth the Trojans
in the local gymnasium earlier
this season.
William Webb, senior Trojan
forward, ran his season total for
‘points scored during the year well
‘over 300 mark to break the in
dividual scoring record of 307
points in a single season which
prevailed a: Athens High until
Friday night’'s game.
' In so doning Webb led the Tro
jan scoring as he bucked 20 points
foliowed by Sonny Suddath with
15 and Bobby Wallace with 8.
Field got 18 for Marietta and
Truelove hit for six to lead their
scoring.
In the girls contest, Marion

Walcott Will
Meet Charles
In June Bout
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—(AP)—
Jim: Norris, president of the Inter
national Boxing Club, announced
today that Jersey Joe Walcott has
agreed to defend his heavyweight
boxing title against former cham
pion Ezzard Charles, in June at a
site to be selected.
The agreement was reached be
tween Norris and Felix Bocchic
chio, Walcott's manager, after
lengthy negotiations in Miami and
New York.
Walcott notified Chairman Bob
Christenberry of the State Ath
letic Commission that terms for
the match had been closed and
the exact date and site will be de
ternrinnied by Norris.
The notification was sent to
Christenberry two days before the
February 18 deadline given Wal
cott by the Commission, The Com~-
mission said it would take Wal
cott’s title away from him if he
did not sign by next Monday.
The announcement ended spec
ulation that Walcott might give
Rocky Marciano, young New Eng
land knockout artist, or Harry
Matthews, West Coast light heavy
weight, first chance at the crown
he won by knocking out Charles
in the seventh round last July 18.
Norris had insisted throughout
the negotiations that Walcott keep
his coatract with the IBC to give
Charles first erack at the title.
The 38-year-old Camden, N. J.,
champion had agreed in articles
signed for their last summer fight
to give Charles a return bout
within 90 days in event he won
the crown.
Later all interested parties ex
tended the agreement to after
January 1, 1952. Then in January,
Christenberry stepped into the
picture and ordered Walcott to
sign by February 18 to defend his
title.
Norris nrade it clear no site has
been selected for the title scrap.
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, and Atlantie City have
been mentioned as possible sites
for the fight. It was in Pittsburgh
that Walcott stopped Charles after
two previous attempts against Fz
zard and two title bouts with Joe
Louis. ”
