THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1969
o*i "74e P. A. JUnz
BY DOYLE JONES, JR.
Before you read this the Atlanta Braves in all likelihood will
have been acclaimed as champions of the Western Division and will
he in a grim struggle with the miracle Mets for the National League
gonfalon. Tickets for the World Series will be a scarce item and
will put the unscrupulous scalpers in the driver’s seat. In fact, base
ball may evict the Falcons from the stadium and cause their game
against the Colts Sunday to be played at Grant Field. Good luck,
Braves!
Bless your cotton pickin’ heart but isn’t it wonderful the way
Tech, Georgia and Jackson continue their winning ways? The brash
Jackets waited until the final minute to clobber Baylor, again on
the heroics of Andy Dudish who fired a 21 yard scoring aerial to
teve Harkey with 44 seconds left. Jackson’s David Polk made the
key interception that gave the Engineers anew lease on life and
the opportunity to defeat the Bears when a tie seemed imminent.
The Bulldogs mangled Clemson with comparative ease and
threw their second consecutive shutout, almost unheard of this year
in major college ball. Despite the Kentucky upset of Mississippi
Saturday night, the game in Jackson, Mississippi, October 11th be
tween the Rebels and Dogs will still have a decided bearing on the
SEC situation.
The biggest surprise to date are those brash and brazen Jackson
Red Devils who are breathing the rarified air of the Class B elite
with a perfect record of four wins and Henry County upcoming.
The Devils gave Stockbridge a lesson in physical fitness and funda
mental football Friday night and convinced the visitors that a team
that runs hard, blocks well and tackles with such savagery cannot
lose. Seldom does a team evidence such physical superiority over a
foe as Jackson did against Stockbridge in the second half. Had the
game gone another five minutes, Jackson could have scored at will.
At half time the Tigers had had enough and were ready to holler
calf rope.
The Football News has named its All Time All Americans and
it is replete with Southern grid luminaries. Who can forget such
grid immortals as Don Hutson of Alabama; Gaynell Tinsley of LSU;
Frank “Bruiser” Kinard of Mississippi; Bob Suffridge of Tennessee;
Wilbur “Fats” Henry of Washington and Jefferson; Tommy Nobis
of Texas; and Sammy Baugh of Texas Christian. The SEC did well
to place four from four teams now comprising the conference.
The Football News also recently picked the top 12 great football
teams of all time and the absence of SEC teams, nay, of any South
ern team, was noted with some regret. The News allowed that the
12 greatest grid juggernauts ever assembled included Michigan,
1901; California, 1920; Notre Dame, 1924; Notre Dame, 1930; Min
nesota, 1934; Pittsburgh, 1937; Army, 1945; Michigan, 1947; Okla
homa, 1956; Syracuse, 1959; Michigan State, 1965; and Notre Dame,
1966. One can readily see that the selections are studded with mid-
West teams. The only Southern teams even given honorable men
tion were Georgia Tech, 1928; Alabama, 1930; Tennessee, 1938,
TCU, 1938; Texas A&M, 1939; Georgia, 1946; Georgia Tech; 1952;
and Maryland, 1951.
And finally, The Football News picked the 12 greatest games
of all time and did better by the South at least and at last. Games
selected were 1905 Chicago 2 —Michigan 0; 1931 USC 16—Notre
Dame 14; 1934 Minnesota 13— Pittsburgh 7; 1935 Notre Dame 18 —
Ohio State 13; 1935 SMU 20—TCU 14; 1937 Pittsburgh o—Fordham
0; 1940 Minnesota 7 —Michigan 6; 1946 Army o—Notre Dame 0;
1950 Oklahoma 14 —Texas 13; 1956 Tennessee 6 —Georgia Tech 0;
1959 LSU 7—Mississippi 3; 1966 Notre Dame 10—Michigan State 10.
The News gave a synopsis of each. I was fortunte to be one of those
who overflowed Grant Field in 1956 to see Tech lose to the Vols
in one of the most perfect defensive games ever played with punting
the most superb these eyes have ever beheld. I certainly concur that
this was one game that should have been and was included.
The least said about my prognosticating last week the better.
I hope my gentle readers will allow me to forget it. This week I like.
JACKSON over HENRY COUNTY —Although the Devils will be
outweighed an average of 20 pounds per man, and despite the fact
the game will be played in McDonough, the speed and tenacity of the
undefeated Devils should enable them to keep their record unsullied.
TECH over CLEMSON—The luck of the Jackets will last one
more week and may become as well renowned as the ‘ luck of the
Irish.” Clemson is too slow afoot for the fast and agile Techsters.
GEORGIA over SOUTH CAROLINA —But the Bulldogs end zone
may well be crossed for the first time. After Tulane and Clemson
it’s virgin territory. No snide remarks, you Tech, Auburn and Ten
nessee fans.
MISSISSIPPI over ALABAMA —But watch it! Picking this one’s
as hard as getting your old maid aunt married. A defeat by the Clem
son Tide would put the Reb’s title hopes on the sideline. You can bet
that Johnny Vaught will have his boys razor sharp. But then so will
the Bear, who may have to do his water-walking act to win. It s on
TV Saturday night.
FLORIDA over FSU—Strickly by the coin. This fratricidal strife
is rough. The Gators may need a little nip in their Gatorade to get
’em by.
NOTRE DAME over MICHIGAN STATE—The Irish were slight
ly embarrassed by the Boilermakers last Saturday. This selection is
based on the presumption that it won’t happen to Aia s boys twice
consecutively.
PURDUE over STANFORD —The Indiana Pipefitters may well
be one of the nation’s top ten teams. Certainly they have perhaps
the finest quarterback in Mike Phipps.
PITTSBURGH over DUKE— The Panthers are rebuilding. Duke
is an in-and-outer. When the Blue Devils are hot they are terrific
and when they are cold Jackson High would give them a good game.
TEXAS A&M over ARMY —The Aggies may be too tough for the
Cadets.
On The Farm

BY CARL BRACK
Butti County Agent
Si?' grazing should
ciall y import
mSk jjk VU ant since there
wH* is now suffi
cient moisture in the soil. This
also applies to cool season lawns
such as fescue.
September is also the month
for liming and fertilizing cool
season lawns and pastures which
are already established.
Don’t Harrow
C. D. Spivey, another of our
Extension horticulturists, told me
the other day that many peach
growers are harrowing their or
chards this month. Mr. Spivey
joined me in hoping that no one
in Butts County is doing this.
Harrowing is very harmful to
peach trees. It cuts the roots and
this limits the trees’s ability to
take up water and nutrients. It
also makes it difficult for the
tree to manufacture enough food
to carry it through the winter.
Then, too, soil-borne diseases
are very active this time of year.
Cutting the roots gives these dis
eases wide-open entry into the
tree.
Also, cutting the roots weakens
the tree to the extent that the
leaves fall prematurely.
According to Mr. Spivey, it
would be much better to mow the
orchard to prevent formation of
weed and grass seed. And the
sod will help prevent erosion
when fall and winter rains come.
Plant Blueberries
Rabbiteye type blueberries na
tive to the Southeast are excellent
plants to use around the home.
They not only enhance the beauty
of the area, but just a few plants
will provide fruit for fresh use
and to freeze.
Varieties developed in a breed
ing program at the Coastal Plain
Experiment Station at Tifton of
fer excellent possibilities. Tifblue,
Homebell and Woodard are the
three varieties recommended. One
thing to keep in mind if you are
interested is producing fruit is
to plant two or more of these
varieties.
Blueberries are very similar to
azaleas as far as culture is con
cerned. They require an acid soil.
And they must not be overfer
tilized. Blueberry plants have a
fibrous root system that grows
close to the surface. So be care
ful with fertilization. An acid
forming camellia and azalea ferti
lizer is suggested.
Blueberries may be planted as
a specimen plant, in the forma
tion planting, or to create bor
ders, such as hedge. They do
best when exposed to full sun.
Control Flea*
Soneone asked me the other
day how to control fleas—in the
home. Pets—dogs and cats—
usually bring fleas into the
house. So first control fleas
on your pets.
For dogs use malathion dust or
spray, Sevine dust, or Vapona
dog collars. Treat cats with Sevin
dust or one of the other approved
insecticide mixtures. And be sure
to treat the animal’s outdoor
sleeping quarters thoroughly.
Before applying any insecticide
to animals be sure to read, un
derstand and follow instruc
tions on the pesticide label.
PERSONAL
