FOOTBALL
Football season is here
again.
All over the nation Ameri
can males are tossing and
kicking and running with
footballs, all the way from
8-year-olds in the backyard
to junior and senior high and
college teams to the big
bruisers of the professional
leagues.
Football is a rough contact
sport and inevitably will
produce its full quota of
bumps and bruises, strains
and sprains, cuts and gashes.
Most of these aren’t serious
and the lads concerned are
back in the game shortly.
A thorough medical exam
ination is highly important
for boys preparing to go out
for football to make certain
that there is no physical
condition that should be
noted before beginning the
rigorous training and hard
knocks of the game.
Proper physical condition
ing hardens the body and
increases resistance to fa
tigue, thus helping prevent
injury. A minimum of three
weeks of conditioning are
recommended prior to the
first game of the season.
Coaches and team physicians
are alert to the fact that
many injuries occur when
the player is tiring and thus
less alert.
Good coaching enables the
players to perform better
and thus be less prone to
injury. Good officiating
makes for better games and
also helps protect players.
Proper equipment and facili
ties are important to reduce
injuries. Good first aid
procedures and medical
care, with a physician
available during practice
dri n s and on the bench
during games are major
factors in cutting serious
inju es.

CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank all those
friends and relatives who
remembered me with cards,
prayers, visits, flowers, and

extreme heat of early season
days also are important.
Many coaches now schedule
the hot weather workouts in
early morning and late
afternoon to avoid the heat of
the day. The old rule against
drinking water during drills
and games has long since
been proven invalid and
dangerous. Water and salt is
necessary to replace fluids
lost through copious sweat
ing.
If your boy is playing on an
organized team, the chances
are good that all of these
safeguards are observed. If
most of his playing is done on
a vacant lot in the afternoons
and on Saturdays, it becomes
the parents’ responsibility to
see that the player has the
benefit of the safety princi
ples.

Smolka
On Golf
By
Johnny Smolka
Progress-Argus
Sports Writer
If you recall several weeks
ago I stated that golf was an
unusual game that attracts a
lot of unusual, and impor
tant, people. In fact last week
during the Annual Deer Trail
Membership Tournament it
attracted one of America's
top golfers. At least he’s tops
as far as we Georgians are
concerned. It was Larry
Hinson of Douglas, Georgia
who was part of a foursome
from the Camp Grounds. The
foursome, in addition to
Hinson, were D. M. Shrop
shire; H. R. Jenkins and
Doctor Harold Loman. Se
veral of the local golfers
followed the foursome
around the course and two of
them played along. They
were Bill Nelson and Bubber
Jones.
Outside of that it was a
most interesting day at Deer
Trail. Interesting that is for
18 winners. Oh, oh and quite a
thrill for another. What I
have reference to is the fact
that presumably one of the
most outstanding holes-in
one took place that day, and
as Terry Kitchens would say,
“It had to happen to him,
Jimmy “B” Hardy.” Using a
number eight iron on the
105-yard lake hole the ball
soared over the green, hit a
tree, bounced back and
dribbled into the cup. As
Jimmy “B” would say,
“That’s the way the ball
bounces.”
Now to get down to the
serious business of the day.
Forty-eight golfers took part
in the one day affair at Deer
Trail. True to form the kid
came through as did the old
timer. The kid and the old
timer we refer to are Gay
McMichael and Milt Daniel.
For the second year in a row
Gay McMichael won the top
honors coming out on top in
the finals with Billy Duke.
That was in the Champion
ship Flight with Larry
(Muscles) Biles bringing up
the rear and taking third
place.
In the First Flight Milt
Daniel outlasted the three
finalists, Terry Duke, se
cond, and Ken (Drake)

Jones, third, and copped that
title. By the way Milt won the
last outing, the Exchange
Club's Cancer Fund tourney
over all opponents June Ist.
Jackie Dunn won top
honors in the Second Flight.
Taking second place was A1
Duke, whose daddy, Buster,
was right behind in third
place.
Warren Davis of Locust
Grove showed his superiority
in the third flight when he led
the way over Tom O’Dell and
Bobby Moncrief who finished
second and third respective
ly.
In the Fourth Flight, Willie
Avery Cook proved to be
too much for his Flight and
came out on top. Second
place went to the Reverend
Lamar Guyton, pastor of the
Pleasant Grove Congrega
tional Church with Jim
Trimble finishing in third
place.
And, although he was
offered considerable resist
ance from his opponents in
the Fifth Flight, David
Fountain said he made up his
cotton pickin’ mind he was
gonna take this one, and sure
enough he did. David took
home the number one trophy
in that Flight. He bested
Robert (The Governor) Wil
liams, who took second and
Howard Fincher, who really
let Fountain and Williams
know they had a fight on their
hands.
A couple of interesting side
lights: another old timer, not
so old in age, but in
experience. Buddy Edwards,
let those shave trails know
they had to play sub par golf
to beat him. Buddy was
eliminated all right, but the
youngsters had to struggle
through two play offs to get
over Buddy.
And finally, I think that if
you'll check the records, this
is the first time that a
Norsworthy’s name has not
been in the winners circle.
I wonder if this would ever
become a part of the
“Guinness Book of Records.”
World famous recognition

> ' s Vs handling
Wednesday, August 17th, can
attest to and swear to its
authenticity. It all took place
shortly after the first group
had teed off.
A crop duster plane was
spraying the immediate area
of the golf course and at
times it seemed it was almost
touching the ground and
that’s the way it appeared to
Sam, the course mascot, as
well.
Sam has ill feelings toward
anything that doesn’t resem
ble an ordinary vehicle, like
the UPS truck; the Coca Cola
truck; the gas truck; the
cracker man or even as
a Dumpster goes by on Biles
Road, or I should say, a
Dumpster truck. This is the
most unique part of Sam. It
has been normal procedure
for a dog to chase a car, a
motorcycle or reach for a
youngster peddling a bicycle,
or the mailman. Sam isn’t
content to do that.
Time after time as the crop
dusting plane swooped down
toward the ground Sam
would take off after it and
actually didn't give up until it
was completely out of sight.
Or, maybe it was because
Sam was exhausted and
realized that contraption was
a little too fast for him.
And that’s the way it
happened over 201 years
after this country was
founded.
Keep It Brief
The young reporter was
told to keep his copy short
and stick to the facts. Sent on
his first accident story, he
turned in the following: “B.

shaft to see if the car was on
its way down. It was. Age.

I Auto Service Tips
If you like to check your own
brake fluid, do it properly or you
can do more harm than good.
Before you remove the cover,
clean the area around the
opening carefully to make cer
tain no dirt is allowed to enter the
fluid chamber. If you keep fluid
on hand, be sure it is in an air
tight container. Moisture de
stroys the fluid.
