MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1965 Banner-Herald SPORTS Cooley Becomes Hero, But Misses TD Chance Banner-Herald Photo by REM PAT HODGSON OF GEORGIA FALLS OVER GOAL Momentum Caused Dive After TD Aerial NFL Results Chandler's Toe Makes Pack Go By HAL BOCK Associated Press Writer Vince Lombardi has no kicks coming now that Don Chand- ler's toe is back on target. Kicking had become a source of constant irritation for Lom- bardi until Sunday when Chand- ler's toe and the threat of it turned into Green Bay's most potent weapon. The 10-year National Football League veteran boomed a 90- yard punt the longest in mod- ern professional football history kicked two field goals and set up a touchdown with a daring 27-yard run from punt formation as the Packers beat San Fran- cisco 27-10. Green Bay, unhappy with Paul Hornung's kicking last season, went shopping for a new toe during the off-season and picked up Chandler from New York for a draft choice. Until Sunday. Don hadn'. been much of a solution. His 39.8 punting average was last in the NFL. "My punting hasn't been good." Chandler admitted, "but it will s raighten out. It always does Sunday was straightening day for Chandler. Don used the sel- dom-seen punter's option. taking off on a fourth and nine s tua- tion in the opening period and dashing 27 yards to se up Green Bay's first touchdown. Elsewhere in the NFL Sun- day.

Chandler's 90-yard punt broke. the NFL mark of 88 set by Bob Waterfield of Los Angeles in 1948. The ball was on the Packer 10-yard line when Chandler dropped back to his own end zone and boomed his kick. The ball bounced between San Fran- cisco's 25 and 20-yard lines and then rolled into the 49er end zone for a touchback. When it finally stopped roll- ing, the ball was three yards beyond the end zone, so al- though it goes into the record book as a 90-yard boot, it ac- tually traveled 113 yards. Johnny Unitas completed 18 of 24 passes including three for touchdowns as Baltimore scored all its points in the first half and coasted past Detroit. Flanker Jimmy Orr caught nine passes for 167 yards and then kidded Unitas about his performance later. "Unitas completed 18 of 24?" Orr asked. Even he can't throw hat good." Then Orr re- peated the needle, shouting across the locker room at Uni- tas. "If you hold 'em, I can," the quarterback laughed. Rookie Gale Sayers was the key for Chicago. scoring one touchdown and passing for an- other in the second half. Sayers caught a four-yard flare pass from Rudy Bukich and threaded his way through Los Angeles tacklers, streaking 76 yards for his TD. Later he connected with Dick Gordon on a 26-yard scor- ing play. By STEVE TEASLEY Banner-Herald Sports Editor Jimmy Cooley is no better off today than he was two weeks ago-he still has not scored a touchdown from his defensive\ guard position. Cooley, a 195-pound junior from Avondale Estates, Ga., said he felt "alone and embar- rassed" after fellow linemen George Patton and Dickie Phil- lips had scored touchdowns in the Alabama and Vandy games on intercepted passes. Saturday, Cooley came close to realizing a lineman's dream by blocking a Clemson punt in the third quarter at Sanford Stadium, but defensive end Lar- ry Kohn recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. Cooley will have now to settle for being a "scoreless" hero. "He won the game for us," Coach Vince Dooley said after- wards. "That was THE play." When Cooley rushed in to stop | Don Barfield's punt at the Geor- gia 23, Clemson had a 9-6 lead the fourth-ranked Bull- over dogs. He had gone for the injured Ken Whiddon, and it was his first action since injuring a hand in the Vandy game. Cooley used a padded left forearm to block the ball and sent it bounding toward the Ti- ger goal. Kohn grabbed it about the one and dived into the end zone. Bob Etter, who had had his string snapped in the period when Georgia scored, started another by con- verting on a kick. Only four plays later. Georgia started another scoring drive from the Clemson 46 after a good kickoff by Stan Crawford, a penalty and a loss had put the visitors in a hole on the punting down. Some 45,000 watched Randy Wheeler and Bob Taylor alter- nate for medium-size chunks of yardage down to the three where soph fullback Ronnie Jenkins bulled in. Etter, who later kicked a 37-yard field goal with six seconds left, got the ex- tra point. The field goal was his sixth this year and established a record previously held by Durward Pennington and Bill McCullough. Georgia's first touchdown came after Clemson scored the second time it had the ball. It was a 34-yard pass from Preston Ridlehuber to end Pat Hodgson who was wide open on the right side. The play started as a hand-off in the backfield, but Ridlehuber go tit back on a re- verse. first Georgia now heads much-dreaded road series, four big ones with Florida State, Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida. The next home game is Nov. 13 against Auburn. CALITURACTERN CONFERENCE on a WLT PIs. OP W L T Pts.

It can be a $2 billion-a-year industry! The door of oppor- tunity is now wide open for en- terprising people to participate in its development. New and ex- panded feed lots will be needed, as well as feed mills, grain ele- APPROVED REDUCED BIG JOHN GRAIN RATES Great news for the South-and for the Midwest, too! vators, packing plants and other facilities for handling grain and processing feed and meat. If you want a part in this develop- ment, the time to act is now! The Commission's decision is also great news for the farmers of the grain-surplus Midwest. The demands of this fast-grow- ing livestock industry in the Southeast will open large and profitable new markets for their grain. In addition, Southern's low "Big John" freight rates will also help cut down on imports of meat from other countries. American grain now can be used to feed and fatten Ameri- can animals, producing meat to be sold at home and abroad. All America will benefit from this decision by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This is regulation in the public interest, and the Commission deserves the thanks and praise of the American people. Southern Railway System WASHINGTON, D. C. Poss, Davidson Get Athens Captain Jobs By TED GRANTHAM Athens High head football coach Weyman Sellers called last Friday's game with Rich- mond Academy "an inconsis- tent, but at times great effort on the part of the Trojans," as he went over the game films with his players Sunday. Sellers was speaking of Ath- ens' good first half against the Academy and then the Trojans' poor second half. Assistant choach Richard Saye added, "we don't seem to make it a ha- bit of scoring in any particular quarter, sometimes the first, sometimes the last, and any- where in between." Center Bobby Poss was tabbed by Sellers as Athens' best offensive lineman after watching the films. "He did a real fine job of downfield block- ing." commented the head men- tor. Because of Poss's good show- ing and halfback Dave David- son's excellent film report, they have been chosed team co-cap- tains this week against unbea- ten Robert E. Lee. The coaches chose a lineman and a back each week as captains. Last week Walter Grenade and Ed Allen were the leaders. Other Trojans receiving raise in Friday's game were ackle Dick DeRose and line- backer Mike Tillitski. Sellers and line coach Frank Malinow- ski called DeRose "best defen- sive lineman in the game." Till- itski, who move dto linebacker last week to fill John Spivey's shoes, moved well laterally along the line all evening. Taking over injured Spivey's position on offense was fullback Ted Devore. "Ted did a very good job of blocking." Sellers said. Sellers appeared pleased Sun- day that Spivey is getting over a banged-up shoulder, and said that he will probably be ready to go Friday against Lee. He suffered his injury during prae- tice last week and was sidelined during the Richmond game. Friday's victory was the sixth straight for Athens, ranked number one in a couple of the major polls for AAA teams. It was also the sixth win by a large margin, as the Trojans have now outscored their oppo- nents, 227-33. Two touchdowns came court- esy Jerry Cash, a halfback, who raced 33-yards from scrimmage in the second quarter and 38- yards on a punt in the fourth pe- riod. The other score resulted from a 42 yard drive ended by David- son's three-yard plunge over the middle in the first period. Chuck Perry, who missed the initial conversion attempt. add- ed two more and a 23-yard field goal, one of few in Trojan histo- ry. It came just before half- time. Dual Honors Go To Cash Athens' halfback Jerry Cash, already called by his coaches as the Trojans' number one pass receiver, displayed excel- lent ground running Friday against Richmond Academy, and was named to the Associa- ted Press' "Roll Call of Stars" and the Atlanta Constitution's "Prep Honor Roll" for his ef- forts. Cash, who was the only player from the Athens area to make both lists, ran 33 yards for one touchdown and then netted an- other with a 38-yard punt return to lead Athens to a 23-0 win over Richmond. mentioned in the Prep Honor Roll was Monroe's Jim- my Bolton. He passed for one touchdown and ran another in their 13-14 loss to Central Gwin- nett. Also Gurney PRESIDENT BAILWAY SR SOUTH THE LOOK AHEAD LOOK SOUT PAGE FIVE
