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.

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-

book as a 90-yard boot, it ac-
tually traveled 113 yards.

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

his TD. Later he connected with
Dick Gordon on a 26-yard scor-
ing play.

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.

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.

GARY ADAMS (86) TRIES TO KNOCK DOWN PASS
Clemson's Thomas Ray Fires In Desperation
Approval by the Interstate Com-
merce Commission of Southern
Railway's low freight rates for
hauling grain in its "Big John"
ears-averaging 60 per cent
below former rates-now clears
the way for the explosive growth
of a huge and urgently-needed
livestock industry in the grain-
deficit Southeast.
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-

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.

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.
