Emory at Oxford Team Retains
Alt-Emory Basketball Crown
The "C Company basketball
squad successfully defended its
title of kings of Emory basketball
in the All-Emory tournament held
last weekend at EAO. The tourna
ment championship was the third
in a row for coach Miller, whose
teams haven’t lost a tournament
game since he became head coach
three years ago.
The Blue team moved into the
I finals on the strength of a one
; ' sided 73-40 victory over the Fresh
। men from Atlanta. They never
i trailed during the game, and were
led in the scoring parade by for
ward Gene Fortson who found
1 । the range for twenty-three points.
' ! Speight led the Frosh with nine
‘ i teen.
j “A” Company set the Sophomores
back to Atlanta on the short end
7 of a 62-46 score in the tournament
opener. Forward Gene Wilkes led
the Red team with a total of
thirteen points, and Cobb’s seven
teen was high for the losers.
The third team from the Atlanta
campus was also eliminated in
first round play when the combi
nation Junior-Senior team fell
before Oxford’s “B” Company
team in a real thriller. Nicky
Stribling’s late field goal was the
margin in the 40-39 victory. For
ward Fred Giradeau was the top
man for the Green team with
fourteen points, and Griffith’s
sixteen ■-points paced the losers.
The “A” and “B” Company
teams met Saturday morning for
the right to oppose “C” Com
i pany in the finals, and the spot
wen( to the Red team by virtue of
a 54-44 victory. Once again the
winners were carried to victory
by a strong second half comeback.
Center John Haley turned in his
outstanding game of the year for
the “A” Company team as he
found the range for nineteen
points and did a good job of re
j bounding. Girardeau and center
I Sam Lewis each finished with
; fourteen for the Green team.
The Red team could not match
the sharp shooting of Ronald Cor
nell in the final game as the vic
tory and the tournament went to
“C” Company by a 63-48 score.
The center closed a great season
by scoring twenty-eight points.
Danni Brown led the “A” Com
pany team for the seventh time in
nine games as he poured eigh
teen points through the basket.

than two years and then made
inquire as to why work had not
begun.
On February 18, 1952. officials
of the Newton County Gas Com
pany came before the City Coun
cil and staid they could not per
form under the contract given
them and asked for another.
। The City Council voted not to
grant to them a new franchise.
I On January 24, 1953, the City
: intervened before the Federal
Power Commission for an allo
cation of gas to put in a muni
cipal owned system. The Mid-
Ga. Natural Gas Company, suc
cessor to the Newton County
Gas Company, has been fighting
us on every turn since. They have
never made a physical effort to
start construction on a gas sys
tem until February 22, 1954,
more than 4 years after the fran
chise was first granted.
On February 3, 1954, the
, Federal Power Commission al-
I lowed Covington to intervene
। for gas for a municipal system.
The hearing began on February
18, 1954. Our case was the last
one on the docket and we were
t heard on February 16, 1954.
After the hearing was concluded
i the Commission adjourned for
a 10 day recess. The hearing is
scheduled to reconvene on March
! 1, 1954, for cross examination of
the engineering witnesses for the I
various communities and then
the Commission will in all pro- j
bability allow the attorneys 30
days in which to file briefs. The :
[ Commission will then study al!
l of the material presented and ‘
in due course decide who shall !
be allocated gas.
Your City Officials have made '
j every effort to bring gas to ,
j Covington after it became ap- j
parent that Newton County Gas
. Company and its successor were
not going to perforin under the
j franchise granted. Had the City
not granted this franchise back
|in 1949, I am reasonably sure
■ that the citizens of Cov’ngton
and Oxford would have been
I enjoying the advantages of na
. tural gas for the past 2 years
J the same as the citizens of Elber

1 vices at the jail: and those two
; men found salvation through the
efforts of one who, by all the
। odds, should have wished them
• evil, rather than good. But, again,
this was only the beginning, for
as always in Kingdom Work,
witnessing boomerangs. Not only
did the two prisoners help bring
two other inmates to find Christ;
but the effects were so far
reaching in the community which
had worked with them, that it
\ reads like fiction. This young
| preacher tells us that from this
experience of his and his neigh
j bors, he and the local preacher
of Salem Methodist church have
determined to work toward their
degree in the minisfry—in fact
the Rev. Allen Hamby is already
; enrolled at Tennessee Bible In
■ stitute —and he firmly believes
away will be provided for him
!to give his life to full time
j ministry; one of the greatest
revivals in the Salem Methodist
: Church was held last week, with
I 25 conversions, 1 dedication to
the ministry and 1 dedication to
full time Christian Service, 4
broken homes reunited, family
altars re-established; mission
work begun in another jail, with
1 conversion already . . . the
. list goes on.
The young pastor takes no
credit for. As every true minister,
he knows where the credit lies,
and shuns any inference of his
efforts being responsible. He
knows that many other elements,
other pastors, and laymen were
divindy used in effecting the
final victory.
Long shall we remember the
beauty and solemnety of that
scene. The stirring testimonies of
those two men, who be the love
of their fellowmen had been led
to know the love and Father
, hood of God. Our hearts filled
; with gratitude for Newton
I County's sheriff and his wife,
who gave so much beyond their
call of duty, in ministering to
those who come within their
care; and through whose cooper
ation, worship services have been
j made available to prisoners. One
i speaker stated that he felt that
chimes should ring out from the
jail, it was such a sacred place
for him, since there was where
he found God; another spoke of
the Christian atmosphere pre
valant there, and the kindness
of Sheriff and Mrs. Berry, and
many others, pasters and laymen,
who had visited them and min
istered unto them there.
Many will remember the youjig
’ boys who spent last summer in
our county jail. Those boys were
brought by a State Trooper to
visit the Berrys recently. Thei>.
; expressions of gratitude to them
and to the pastors and people
of Newton County whose love
; transcended the bars, brought
1 tears to the eyes of the seasoned
| Trooper.
Surely, Newton County is
greatly blessed in knowing such
a full, rich measure of this love
of our fellowman, which truly
| means Brotherhood of Man under
the Fatherhood of God. It sets
the chimes of our heart singing,
even as we go about the com
monplace task of just-
“SWEEPIN-UP”
ton. Monroe, Winder, Buford,
Lawenceville. Hartwell, Com
merce and many other communi
ties who have municipal owned
gas systems served from Trans
continential pipe line.
It is our hope that the Federal
Power Commission will see fit
to allot Covington the amount
of gas asked for which will be
sufficient to put in a feasible
system. If this is done and we
secure a municipal system, ac
cording to our engineers, you
will be able to have gas at a
much less cost than from the
Mid-Ga. Natural Gas Company,
and too. the revenue from the
system should help to improve
your City and keep your taxes
low. If we get a municipal sys
tem your City taxes WILL NOT
be increased one penny because
of the gas system.
I shall not try to answer all
rumors and propaganda but
when something turns up that I
think will be of interest to our
people, I shall not hesitate to
let you know.
^our City Officials are work
ing for the best interest of all
tie citizens of Covington and
will appreciate your confidence.
