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 EARN 2Vi Year Savings Certificates ($5,000 minimum) Certificate accounts carry a penalty for withdrawal prior to initial maturity or any subsequent maturity.

A Symbol of Savings and Service Phone: 775-7424 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. Oklahoma and Arizona State *5 TIMMY SMITH Timmy Smith-6’l”, 162 lbs. - is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith. Tim my has played on the Jackson B-Team for three years and the varsity three years. He is now a junior. Timmy plays offensive and defensive end for the Devils. 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. SCOTT WATKINS Scott Watkins-STI”, 150 lbs. - is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Bennie F. Watkins. Scott is in his second year of varsity ball as a senior. He plays defensive tackle and end. Despite an injury during the first part of the season. Scott has come on 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. A B W Chevrolet Cos.

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.
