SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1965 Trojans Chalk Up Win No. Six, 23-0 DIGTE IBAOLEI Banner-Herald Sports Editor AUGUSTA, Ga-Athens High beat Richmond Academy, 23-0 in a football game here Friday night but the score could have been worse-for Athens that is. The state's top-ranked AAA team, perhaps thinking ahead to powers R. E. Lee and Marist the next two weeks, showed only flashes of the power it had used while rolling over its first five victims this fall. Playing in almost a swamp at rain-drenched ARC Stadium, the Trojans of Weyman Sellers pounded away with large chunks of yardage on offense and stopped the Musketeers. cold on defense in the first half. However, Fred McManus's troops got a little enthusiastic after going out at intermission trailing 16-0. Too, Athens came back little flat, which press- box "experts" said afterwards was natural after five aggres- sive performances. The result was still an Athens win, but the Trojan defense had to come on and save an erratic offense. Two local touchdowns were the results of the explosive Ath- ens offense-a 33-yard run from scrimmage by Jerry Cash and a 38-yard punt return by the same fellow. Another came on a short 42-yard drive claimaxed by Dave Davidson's three-yard burst. A field goal of 23 yards- the first, since Pete Dickens hit one in 1960 here-came after an intercepted pass by Billy Pres- nell down on the Musketeer eight. Chuck Perry did the kick- ing. An intercepted pass and a lost fumble hurt Athens after the opening kick-off, but the Tro- jans were still rambling almost at will, cutting gigantic holes in the Richmond line. It was on the third series of downs when Athens scored first. Davidson recovered a Travis. Paine fumble at the Musketeer 42 and Allen moved it to the 37. Statistics ATHENS Athens, 'Cats Still Rolling, As Marist Feels GMA Sting By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hope and heartache told most of the story among Georgia's AAA football contenders for the state title in the sixth week of the high school season. The hope came for Valdosta and Athens as the two power. houses rolled on their undefeat- ed way Friday night, but Mar- ist felt the sting of heartache as it fell to GMA 26-0. GMA had won only one previous game. Valdosta took a great stride. toward the 1-AAA crown with a 33-2 blasting of previously un- beaten Albany. The losers were anable to score until the game's closing minutes as Valdosta's offense and defense combined o provide an important victory.

The potent Tigers humbled Dallas 49-0. Dublin was the site of one of AA's top games as visiting Dodge County and Dublin each placed perfect 5-0 records in jeopardy. Dublin emerged a 14- 0 winner in the battle. In an- other important AA contest, un- beaten Dalton sent West Fannin to its second loss with a 40-7 vic- tory.

BURTON'S SHOES Beechwood Shopping Center Open Till 9 P. M. C & S Charge much by penalties, battled al- most evenly in the second half though Athens had good field position almost all the time, twice getting inside the 25. Da- vidson got off one beautiful run of 48 years thanks to a block by Bill Lambert in the third peri- od. Midway the fourth quarter, Athens took off from its 29 after a punt and got down to the Richmond two. Cash, Davidson and Allen were the key men in the attack. The Musketeers rammed it out to the five where Billy Tay- lor punted. It went straight to Cash at the 38 and Cash went straight to the goal with the help of blocks by Dick DeRose and Zack Spratlin. Perry con- verted with about two minutes to go. Richmond, which got down to the Athens 28 once, made a real bid to score just before the end of the game. Taylor took the next kick-off and zipped up the middle for 60 yards to the Ath-1 ens 36. A penalty carried it to the 21 and on the last play, Richmond found itself on the Athens 17, its furthest penetra- tion. It got in enemy territory only three times. Quarterback Paul Gilbert had his poorest night this fall, gain- ing 14 yards rushing and ten passing. The loss of John Spi- vey, who suffered a separated shoulder this week in practice I was also felt. Athens did not run a play from his fullback spot. Defensively, end Mike Cas- tronis was tremendous, Spratlin had a good night along with tac- kle Bill Petit and guard Randy Parsons and Harold Clum who played some defense. The blocking in the offensive line, led by Walter Granade, Bob Poss, Clum and end Charlie Wa- ters was sharp in the first half. Athens gets set for three straight home games now, a big one coming up versus unbeaten Lee Friday. יוייוייי RICHMOND First Downs יוייויוי 21 4 Yds. Rushing 348 25 Yds.

Three short runs later Da- vidson, a 150-pounder, raced off left tackle. Perry missed the ex- tra point with 2:48 to go in the first period. Richmond, which gained but one first down in the opening half and only three more the rest of the game, gave the ball up just before the second period started. Starting at their own 31, the Trojans marched steadily to the Musketeer 33, mostly on the running of Allen who picked up 26 of the yards in three carries. Cash finished off the march with a bolt in and out of tackles 33-yards up the middle. Perry converted. Later, the Trojans did drive from their own 11 to the enemy. 43, but it was after a punt in the end zone by Gilbert and a ten- yard penalty (half the distance to the goal) that Athens rang up another score. Quarterback Lee Sheppard, a sophomore, dropped back to pass, was hit hard and found only Presnell waiting at the 18.. The fleet halfback, who had a 55-yard touchdown run called back the third quarter,got it down to the eight. Allen carried to the one, but there Richmond held. A penalty moved it back to the six and Perry entered to make it 16-0 just as the first half gun sounded.
