SKIPPING THE CHALK LINES: One of the most attractive
grid double-headers ever presented in the South is being arranged
for Jackson, Mississippi, on the afternoon and night of Saturday,
October 3rd. That afternoon Alabama and Ole Miss square off in
another sensational duel, who can forget last year’s great game that
millions followed via television, and in the nightcap the Georgia
Bulldogs will take on the improved Maroons of Mississippi State.
It is a football parlay that will attract fans from over the entire
South and will overflow Jackson, certainly the football capital of
the nation for a day at least. It is almost a foregone conclusion
that several Jackson, Georgia, couples will be on hand for the games.
The wise will order their tickets early and make reservations post
haste. Let’s get those jalopies tuned now and be ready for the 420
mile trek. What about it Everett, Ralph, Lou, Seab and Sonny?
And all you other Bulldog fans who won’t want to to miss this grid
extravaganza! . . . Congratulations to the fine Jackson High boys
basketball team that is compiling one of the best records ever and
is rated in the top ten in state class B circles. The team possesses
height, speed and court savvy and should be a factor in deciding the
region champ. Keep up the good work, boys . . . The F’alcons appear
to have drafted some talented long shots in the recently concluded
player draft. Having to pick 12th, the so-called “big name’’ players
were gone, but Falcon boss Norm Van Brocklin seems pleased with
John Small, their first selection and a standout as linebacker at
Citadel. Art Malone should be able to help. The other players are
less well known, but many feel that several “sleepers” are included.
At least the Falcons didn’t blow the draft completely as has happened
in the not too distant past . . . Unless he breaks a leg, and heaven
forbid, Archie Manning should be a shoo in as Heisman Trophy win
ner next year. He is the most exciting quarterback this writer has
ever seen, edging the famed Fran Tarkenton by his all around
ability. Those who can not see him play against Alabama in Jackson
on October 3rd will have the great opportunity of seeing him per
form against Georgia in Athens on October 10th, a week later. He
almost single handedly kept the Rebs in the game against Arkansas
in the Sugar Bowl and was instrumental in the final minutes in
controlling the ball and the game’s eventual outcome. We hope
Vince and Erk can come up with some defense to stop him. Georgia
treated him rudely his sophomore year in Athens during the second
half, but since then he has literally run wild on almost every op
ponent. If the Bulldogs are to defeat Ole Miss, the “hedges” not
withstanding, they will have to play their best game of the 1970
season. And by the way, look for Georgia to be much stronger this
yeur . . . Both Tech and Georgia have done well in the recruiting
wars. Though Tech has not signed as many athletes as formerly,
they appear to have some real blue chippers. Georgia grabbed two of
the South’s plums in Andy Johnson of Athens and Tom Holt of
Valdosta, both All-Americans and rated the state’s two best players.
Those knowledgeable say that Johnson will be a greater quarterback
than Tarkenton and that’s quite a statement. He evidently has the
credentials to back up these statements made by a legion of admirers
and supporters. We hope these prophets know a real football player
when they see one.

A CORRECTION
In the story in last week’s Pro
gress-Argus concerning the five
women enroute to work in For
syth whose car skidded on the ice
and struck the Towaliga River
bridge, it was erroneously report
ed that Mrs. R. H. Thaxton was
driving. The story should have
read that Mrs. Horace (Frances)
Wise was driving. The story also
stated that the car overturned
after hitting the bridge four
times. The car did not turn over
but came to rest on its side in
a field at the end of the bridge.
The Progress-Argus is glad to
make these corrections.
