THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1969
On P. A. Jlifte

i This column was written for the paper of October 9th but had
to be omitted because of space limitations).
y ou can write the weekend of October 4th in your little black
j. an( j c i r de it in red. It was Georgia’s all time premier sports
weekend. It is estimated conservatively I might add that sports fans
■ e , the Southeast who came to see Tech do battle with Clemson,
i raves surrender twice to the Mets, and the Falcons hand one
the Colts on a silver platter left over 7% million dollars in At
hnta coffers over the long weekend. It was a binge that will not
so n be forgotten, except by Tech, Braves and Falcon fans. Only
the Bulldogs of Georgia upheld the state’s good name on the field
f str jf e w jth a convincing 41-16 rout of the Gamecocks. Other
wise it was a bleak weekend.
Perhaps one of the most sensational games in the 100-year
history of intercollegiate football was played Saturday night and was
watched by uncounted millions over national tv. Certainly the Ala
baraa-Ole Miss game was the most explosive and when the firing was
through by Scott Hunter of Bama and Archie Manning of Mississippi,
anew national record was set, seven SEC records were rewritten,
and 12 school records of both contestants were abolished by the
aerial blitz. The national record that fell was the most passes com
pleted by two teams, 55; the old mark was 53. Archie Manning, who
saw his Rebs edged 33-32 in a sizzler, set anew SEC total offense
mark of 540 yards in a single game. He completed 33 as compared
to 22 by Hunter. Both were so accurate that defending against their
tosses was well nigh impossible. When the clock ran out Manning
had the Rebs almost in field goal range. It was the most exciting
game seen in recent years.
After viewing the game Saturday night it is difficult to com
prehend how Kentucky defeated Mississippi. Certainly the Rebs had
an eye out for Alabama and allowed the Wildcats to slip up on the
blind side.
I seldom make such a pessimistic statement before a game, but
if Mississippi plays near or exceeds their performance against Ala
bama I see no way in the world Georgia can win. Vince Dooley
and Erk Russell have the awesome task of devising some way to con
tain both Manning’s passing and his adroit running on the option
plays. If Georgia is to have a chance, then the Bulldogs will have
to have their ground game in high gear and effectively utilize ball
control. I do not wish to sell the Bulldogs short but I do not see
how they can outscore the Rebs if the game turns into a scoring duel.
If Georgia wins it will be on the shoulders of the defense, the lightest
in major college ball over the nation. A sports writer is supposed
to pick with his head and not his heart. Under those conditions I’ll
have to pick the Rebels to hand Georgia their first 1969 defeat.
The Jackson Red Devils suffered a heart-breaking setback at
the hands of a much larger and powerful Golden Tornado in Mc-
Donough. The injury riddled Devils, after a blazing first quarter,
were no match for the talented host team led by quarterback Dickie
Bass. Injuries before and during the game rendered the defense im
potent against Bass’ bombs. However, better days are in store for
the Devils when they get their wounded back and anew winning
streak should begin Friday night against Monticello in Jasper County.
We are indebted to Buster DuKe and very appreciative of his co
operation in furnishing us with the statistical information on Red
Devil games that we carry in the paper. Buster is the “Voice of the
Red Devils” over Station WJGA and has done much to popularize
the broadcasts of Jackson games. He and his staff are doing a good
job and we enjoy listening to the games when the Devils play away.
Thanks again, Buster!
The Football Guessing Contest is gathering interest, momentum
and more contestants each week. We suggest those of you who enjoy
it and enter it regularly stop by and tell the sponsors, Lou Moel
chert, Tom O’Dell, Mike Allen and Dennis Wise. They make the
annual contest possible and a word of appreciation now will likely
continue it for years to come.
This week we like:
JACKSON over MONTICELLO—The word is that most of the
Devil injured will return to action which spells bad news for the
Purple Hurricane. We forsee a close game with Jackson beginning
the second half of the season on a winning note.
TENNESSEE over TECH —The Jackets invade Knoxville and
even the most rabid Tech fan would not dare hope for an upset.
The Engineers have been hard hit by injuries and it could be em
barrassing for the struggling Techsters.
MISSISSIPPI over GEORGIA—The Bulldogs will have to play
errorless ball to have a chance plus containing Archie Manning.
We have a suspicion that Georgia will establish its ground game and
if the Dogs win it will have to be done by the infantry.
AUBURN over CLEMSON —The Tigers rebounded strong
against Kentucky after the Tennessee debacle. They are too good
in every category for Frank Howard’s po’ little boys.
OHIO STATE over MICHIGAN STATE—The Buckeyes to work
hard for their number one rating.
MISSOURI over NEBRASKA—The Missous are one of the
nation’s best and should prove it against the Huskers.
TEXAS over OKLAHOMA—In the day’s premier game.
PURDUE over MICHIGAN—Mike Phipps is the bestest.
SOUTH CAROLINA over NORTH CAROLINA STATE—A win
here for the Gamecocks will be a big step toward the ACC cham
pionship.
TEXAS A&M over TEXAS TECH— Two Southwest toughies
go at each other in a wing ding.
