Carrollton Crushes Jackson
30-7 ; Meet Morrow Saturday
One of the most powerful
teams in the state, Carrollton,
visited Red Devil Hill Friday
night and in an awesome
display of controlled football
and mercy applied by a
benevolent Trojan coach
crushed the physically batter
ed and emotionally drained
Red Devils 30-7 to continue
unchecked toward another
state crown.
Jackson at times was hard
put to field 11 men with enough
game experience to have a
veteran team on the field, but
Head Coach Ron Wade made
the best of a bad situation and
to the credit of the outmanned
Red Devils they fought
furiously from the opening
whistle to the final gun.
Seldom has a team been
beset by crippling injuries
more than befell the Devils.
Soon after the season started
John Morgan, sophomore
quarterback, went down with a
broken shoulder and is lost for
the remainder of the season.
Andy Crumbley, stellar tail
back, was just reaching his
vast potential both as a runner
and as a punter when he was
critically injured in an auto
mobile accident on October 6th
after establishing new records
in the Manchester game the
previous week. Curtis Smith, a
160 pound senior split end, was
killed in the collision of a car in
which he was a passenger and
a large tractor-trailer truck
September 13th on East Third
Street almost in front of
Hodges Ace Home Center.
Several weeks ago Vincent
Smith, 180 pound end and
defensive halfback who had
been starting, broke his hand
and will sit out the remainder
of the season.
Saturday morning, Mike
Hamlin, 160 pound sophomore
guard, underwent emergency
brain surgery at a Macon
hospital to remove a blood clot
believed to have been suffered
either in the game Friday night
or previously in practice. In
addition there have been other
less serious injuries that have
slowed the players perceptibly
and added to the woes of the
coaching staff already burden
ed by a paper thin roster.
In the game Friday Carroll
ton struck for its first
touchdown in the first quarter
on a 42 yard nm by David
Phillips, 185 pound senior
tailback. Chuck Ragsdale
kicked the extra point for a 7-0
lead.
Early in the second quarter
Randy Joe Robinson slashed
six yards for the second tally
with Ragsdale again adding
the PAT.
Sidney Spruell raced 18
yards for the third Trojan
score with 7:42 remaining with
Ragsdale’s boot again true.
Mark Gross recovered a
fumble on the Red Devil 10 and
with 5:24 remaining in the half
Spruell again found paydirt
when he ran 9 yards for the
fourth tally. Ragsdale’s PAT
attempt was good with the
score 28-0.
Carrollton completed its
scoring with 2:54 remaining in
the first half when Aubrey
Burford, junior fullback, was
tackled in the end zone for a
safety.
Jackson scored its sole
touchdown with 41 seconds
remaining in the fourth

Irish Picked
By Two
Over Trojans
There’s no doubt that one of
the outstanding games of every
college football season is the
struggle between Notre Dame
and Southern California. As
usual, both teams are in our top
twenty, but neither has shown
the awesome power that was
predicted in pre-season. The
Trojans were tied early in the
season by Oklahoma, but they
were beaten in the statistics.
The Irish are undefeated, but
playing a schedule that hasn’t
been that demanding. For
9th-ranked Notre Dame and
lOth-ranked Southern Cal,
national prestige is at stake
again. Our pick is Notre Dame
by just two points.
Missouri goes right from one
tough ball game to another.
For that matter, everyone in
the Big 8 Conference seems to
have that kind of schedule this
fall. Though they weren’t upset
by Oklahoma State as we
thought they might be, they
remained No. 6 in the nation.
17th-ranked Colorado meets
the Tiger this week as each
game in the Big 8 has both
conference and national im
portance. Missouri will win by
4 points.
In the East, there’s still just
one power, and the Nittany
Lions of Penn State are it. But,
like Notre Dame, they are
without a very strong schedule.
This week they play West
Virginia, a team that started
strong and has faded in recent
weeks. Penn State, rated sth,
will beat the Mountaineers by
30 points.
Alabama was the noisy
survivor in its big clash with
Tennessee last Saturday, and
the third-ranked Tide takes on
V. P. I. this week. Barring a
let-down, Alabama should
“survive” again, this time by
35 points.
It gets to be rather old hat in
the Big Ten week after week as
the two powers, Ohio State and
Michigan, move methodically
through their schedules toward
their eventual championship
clash on November 24th. The
Buckeyes, still No. 2, are 37
points stronger than North
western, and Wolverines, in 4th
place, will win the annual
battle of the Little Brown Jug,
beating Minnesota by 27.
And emerging as the third
top independent this year along
with Notre Dame and Penn
State is Houston. The Cougars,
ranked No. 12, are still
undefeated and are looking for
what could be another big win.
Houston is favored over
Auburn by ten points.

Pee Wees Deal
BarnesviUe
A 26-0 Blank
The Jackson Pee Wees
traveled to BarnesviUe Satur
day afternoon and played
inspired, hardnosed football
before a partisan crowd of fans
and cheerleaders from Butts
County. The scoreboard at the
West end of Gordon Stadium
read Jackson 26 - BarnesviUe 0
as the final buzzer ended the
initial contest of what is to
become an annual struggle
between these two powerful
Pee Wee pigskin team.
Jackson scored its first
touchdown midway the first
quarter when end Mark
Baggarley ran the end around
play 30 yards behind exceUent
blocking from his tackle
teammates Ray Russell and
Martin Davis. After the
kickoff, could not
penetrate Jackson’s defense
led by guards Tracy Godwin,
Jim Price and the linebacking
corps of Tony Bennett, Eric
Stewart, and Jeff Rooks. In
less than three minutes after
the punt, Q. B. Randy
Hutcheson had directed his
chargers to a second touch
down as Scott Folsom blazed 25
yards through a large hole
opened up by his center and
guard, Trae Whiten and
Randy Meredith. Jackson’s
defensive unit got the final
points of the first half as tackle
Michael Long and end Kevin
Youngblood combined to dump
the BarnesviUe Q. B. behind
his own goal for a safety and
two points.
BarnesvUle came back
strong following the second
half kickoff and drove to
Jackson’s 20 yard line. A
strong pass rush from Clay
Hoard, Tommy PoweU, Brad
Earnhart, and Dean PoweU
caused a hurriedly thrown pass
which allowed cornerback
T-Byrd O’Neal to make the
first of his two pass intercep
tions at the 15 yard Une.
Hutcheson then took over
and mixed his passing expertly
with his running game. Using
Stuart Pace, Mike Pippin, and
William Powell he drove
downfield and Folsom again
crossed into the promised land
for a blessed six more points.
The final six came after
Jackson’s special unit, the
“Piedmont Bandits”, led by Q.
B. Alan CrockareU, running
will continue their power
football. The top-ranked Soon
ers will beat Kansas State by 31
points, and the undefeated Sun
Devils, our No. 11 national
power, will whip Oregon State
by 26 points.

Mr. and Mrs. Bennie F.

the first part of the

to have a fine season.
THURSDAY, OCT. 25, 1873
Ga. Power
Gets 101
Industries
A total of 101 new industries,
representing a capital invest
ment of $198,860,000 located on
Georgia Power Company lines
during the first three quarters
of 1973, John W. TaUey, Jr.,
vice president, industrial de
velopment, announced this
week.
This compares with 63 new
industries, with capital invest
ments of $130,945,000 that
began operation in the com
pany’s service area during the
January-September period last
year.
All facilities reported by
Georgia Power are manufac
turing or processing plants,
each with a minimum capital
investment of $50,000 and
backs Mickey James, Skipper
Melton, and Andy Hudgins
started a sustained drive
through a beaten but stiU
gaUant foe.
The oft worn cUche, “team
effort,” has to be polished up
once again and placed into
print. Jackson simply wore
BarnesviUe down, utilizing its
entire 48 man traveling squad.
Fresh defensive troops kept
BarnesviUe’s offense deep in
its own territory most of the
afternoon. Continued hustle
and pursuit from Eld Pinckney,
Jamie Maddox, BiU Kessinger,
Eric Spivey, Don Fletcher, and
Reon Davis gave Jackson its
first shutout in as many games.
Jackson’s Pee Wee team will
again play BarnesviUe this
Saturday in its home opener.
Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m.
on Red DevU HiU. There wiU be
no admission charge, however,
one will see some enthusiastic
footbaU players giving a Super
Bowl effort. Come out and
watch the High School stars of
the future.

Coach Wade’s Critique
As much mishap as the team has had, they are
not playing good footbaU at this time.
Carrollton was truly a No. 1 team. They have as
good a chance to win the state championship again
for the third time as anyone.
The team has to bear another injury in Mike
Hamlin.
We play Morrow Saturday night and their
record is 3 and 4. They have lost some very close baU
games.
We are bringing aU the 9th grade team up to the
varsity this week.
We hope we can regroup emotionaUy and win the
next three for a 5-5 season.
employing at least 10 people.
In addition to the new plants,
105 existing industries expand
ed their operations during the
first nine months of 1973.
Capital investment in such
expansions was $102,818,000,
Nine-months figures for 1972
show that 62 existing manufac
turing or processing plants
increased their productive
capacity at a cost of
$181,315,000.
The report for the first three
quarters of 1973 shows that new
plants and expansions wiU
provide employment far 10,879
Georgians at annual wages of
$74,128,000.
The corresponding period of
last year showed 9,465 new jobs
and an annual payroU of
$57,650,000.
