The SEC race has polarized now after Saturday’s big grid bill
of fare. However, any way you look at it it comes out ORANGE.
Tennessee is in the driver's seat and unless Archie Manning arid Cos.
can pull a miracle the \ ols are home free.
A great Tennessee team demolished only a marginally good
Georgia team Saturday in the dew and damp of Sanford Field with
the friendly hedges providing about as much protection as crepe
paper. The Vols were simply too strong and well balanced for the
Bulldogs, who had they not played with great tenacity could have
been humiliated.
Auburn broke the Gator bubble and sent them back to their
den to prepare for the Gator Bowl encounter Saturday against the
Bulldogs who tormented them last year to the tune of 61-0, proving
as the wag pointed out that the difference between Gatorade and
Bulldog Punch was 61 points.
Ole Miss blunted the LSU express on the arm of Archie Man
ning, though the Tigers fought valiantly to the last whistle. The
Rebs are the sole team that even has an outside chance of derailing
the Vols and it will take a perfect game by the Rebs to do it.
Tech upheld the honor of the state with a fine victory over
Duke. Brent Cunningham, hale and hearty after a seige of injuries,
gave a scintillating performance of a small man running with a
football, garnering over 190 yards to establish anew Tech record.
The old mark was held by Bobby North.
Jackson comes to the finale with Mary Persons Friday night
with little save honor left from a season that began on the brightest
note since 1903. A team with virtually no reserves to begin with,
the starters were hit with a rash of injuries to key players that al
most defies belief. Week after week the Devils faced stronger teams
with players at half speed or less, simply because there was no one
else. They will have to suck in their guts, if you will excuse an
inelegant expression, and play a gritty, inspired game to hold the
score against Mary Persons at a respectable margin.
In this week’s suicide mission, we like:
MARY PERSONS over JACKSON—The Bulldogs are one of
the top teams in Class B and have too much power and strength to
stumble against the injury riddled Devils.
TECH over TIJLANE—UnIess the Jackets linger too long on
Bourbon Street this should be comparatively easy.
FLORIDA over GEORGIA —This is the weakest team since
Vince Dooley has been at Georgia. It has been vastly overrated all
season and is going to have to struggle frantically to win one of
its remaining three games—Florida, Auburn and Tech.
LSU over ALABAMA—The Tigers are a slim choice but a
great effort by the Tide could win it for the Bear.
AUBURN over MISSISSIPPI STATE—-This game usually fur
nishes fireworks, but the Tigers pack the heavier artillery.
INDIANA over IOWA—The Hoosiers in a close call over the
improving Hawkeyes.
PURDUE over MICHIGAN STATE-—The Boilermakers are fa
vored, but the Spartans are in a fine spot for an upset.
VANDY over KENTUCKY—By the narrowest of margins.
KANSAS over COLORADO—By the gnat’s eyelash.

Mary Persons
Ahead Friday
In Last Game
The end of a football season
that began on a successful note
with expectations high for sub
region honors will be concluded
Friday night against Mary Per
j sons as the Jackson High Red
j Devils journey to Forsyth to meet
| the power laden Bulldogs.
Jackson opened its season with
j stirring victories over Pacelli,
; Fayette County, West Point, and
! Stockbridge before losing their
first game of the season to Henry
County in McDonough. They re
grouped for a win over arch rival
Monticello, but since that time
have lost three in a row to Gor- !
don Military, Manchester, and
Hogansville. With the season j
final ahead they stand 6-4-0.
Until injuries deprived the Red
Devils of key players, they were
generally conceded to be one of
the strongest Jackson teams of
recent years, but so thin was re
serve strength that in the last
few games the Jackson team has
been but a shadow of its former
self.

■Jf WL recently had an
:|, 4fr article in the
Progress-Argus
concerning purchasing fire ant
bait. I did not have enough re

material, however, I did manage
to get a limited amount of the
material free. If you have fire

Beef Cattle
High employment rates and in
creased consumer incomes have
accounted for a constant rise in
per capita consumption of beef.
This has been the situation over
the past two decades. This con
tinued increased demand for beef
has held retail and wholesale
prices considerably above last
year’s levels.
However, the cattleman is not
receiving the excessive profits
that most people think. The cat
tleman gets only 19 to 38 percent
of the consumer’s dollar. But the
current situation has to be
summed up as being favorable for
him. And isn’t it about time our
beef producers enjoy a favorable
year—after all those lean years
of the past?
What about the long-range
market outlook for beef? Thom
as B. Walkup, our Extension out
look and market analysis special
ist, says the situation looks fa
vorable even for the long haul.
However, he warns producers not
to try to take advantage of short
term gains by holding cattle to
heavier weights. “In order to
maintain the improved market
and price situation that they en
joy today, beef producers should
resort to sound marketing prac
tices.’’
The Filthiest Bug
Of all the household pests,
cockroaches are the filthiest and
most repulsive. Their repugnant
odors and objectionable habits—
plus the fact that they carry
thousands of disease organisms
—make them highly undesirable.
Roaches usually hide during
the day and are active at night.
So infestations, more often than
not. are much higher than the
homeowner suspects.
These pests feed on various
food products, magazine and
book bindings and paper cover
ings of boxes. Everything they
walk over or feed on is fouled
with excrement or an oily secre
tion from the scent glands. These

make up the nauseating “roachy”
odor.
Once an infestation is present
a vigorous and sustained program
of control is necessary to elimi
nate it. A complete cleanup
should be undertaken and an in
secticide applied to all infested
areas.
For further information on
roach control, including which in
secticides to use, rates and meth

Winter Mixtures for Quail
Winter mixtures for food plots
should be either broadcast or
drilled in the fall until November
15. If winter species are grown
specifically for wildlife, it is best
to use a mixture in order to
provide variety or to at least in
sure the survival of one or more
species. For quail the Stoddard
formula is recommended:
Native vetch 60 pounds
Caley or wild
winter peas 30 pounds
Rye 7 pounds
Oats 7 pounds
Wheat .
Twenty-five pounds per acre of
the above mixture should be
drilled or broadcast.

A CORRECTION
In the story of the Manchester
game in the Progress-Argus of
October 30th it was erroneously
stated that Keith Hunt, Manches
ter quarterback “gathered in a
Nelson pass on the Jackson one
yard line and raced 99 yards for
the longest run with an intercep
ted pass ever witnessed locally.’'
The pass was not thrown by Qaur
terback Bill Nelson but by Dale
Rosser who had received a pitch
out from Nelson and had run to
his right faking an end sweep,
stopping and throwing the ball
toward the Manchester goal when
it was intercepted. The Progress-
Argus is glad to make this cor
rection.
