County Rams have played this
year it isn’t too hard to under
stand why our boys have one
victory and four defeats.
First of all there is Southwest
DeKalb With five wins and no
losses and a big favorite to cop
the Region 4-A (West) crown.
Next is Morgan County, loser
of only one game this season
and very much in the running
for the crown in Region 4-B.
which is loaded with good teams
including Lithonia, Thomson,
Washington and Milton.
Next comes another undefeat
ed outfit, Newnan. Winner of
five games they are at the top
of Region 3-A (South) in the
standings this week.
Gainesville is currently look
ing forward to a meeting with
Athens for the diadem in our
region. Their season's record is
five wins and only one loss —
that to an AA team. Baker High ।
of Columbus.
Our four opponents that we
hove Inst to during this season
have « combined record of 19
s ' wins and only two losses. How

"Topsy-Turvey'*
This season is already develop
ing into a ‘topsy-turvey” cam
। paign. The Saturday Evening
Post's number one and number
two teams have already tasted
defeat. Notre Dame, the No. 1
j combine lost to Purdue last week
; and the week before Georgia
, Tech, the No. 2 team lost to
i Florida.
Little Virginia Tech at this
stage of the season is doped to
beat just about any team in the
country. They walloped Clemson
18-7 and the week previous
smothered Wake Forest 32-0.
With Clemson coming through
. with a victory over Florida (14-
' 7) last week and Maryland tying
Wake Forest that, would seem to
indicate that Virginia Tech
could beat ITCLA (victor over
Maryteod 12-7) and Georgie
. Tech (13-1-2 loser to Florida). ;

aren’t figured on comparative

ally erased from the scene by
a shot from a pistol and a
stretcher.
This is not intended to dis
evedit a fine Gainesville team
and their victory, but the Rams
played the last half without
their regular fullback. Buddy
Galloway and principal ball
carrier Salty Prince. Galloway '
suffered a neck injury and Prince ;
putted a muscle in his leg.
Needless to say that both these :
boys are extraordinary on offense
and defense.
Gainesville and the Rams had i
second stringers in the game'
during the better part of the
fourth period. Almost all the
players on both squads got into
the game.
Ronald Judson lived up to his
press notices as a good runner. ;
He reeled off the longest run of
the year against Newton County
—a 73-yard run from scrim
mage. In our opinion, he ranks
alongside Mike Duke of South
west DeKalb. They both run
with their knees high in the air,
making them extremely hard to i
tackle.
Where in the world are all
these good quarterbacks coming
from, who are playing in Reg
ion 4-A this year? Every team
Newton County has played this
year has been engineered by a
very magician-like boy behind
the center. Gainesville had one
of the best and in my opinion.
Tommy Aaron made the Red
Elephants’ attack click. On his
option plays (carrying or pitch
ing-out) he was a master and on
several plays against Rogers’
boys he laleraled the ball just .
as he was tackled.
Last week we didn't believe
that the two best teams of the
East section of Region 4-A were
Gainesville and Athens; but we ।
do now. We’ll have to admit that
their meeting on November 6
will determine our representa
tive against Southwest DeKalb
of Region 4-A (Wests).
The open date the Rams will
have this week (October 15)
should benefit the local boys who
are nursmg injuries. Among them
are Salty Prince, Buddy Gaßm
way and Leo Mallard .
We don't know whether it ww
an oversight or not but in the
latter stages of the game Wilbur
Fisher was taken nut of the fray.
When he came to the sidelines
the cheering section never recog
nized him and failed to cheer j
this cracker-jack linemen of the j
Rams. An usual Wilbur played a
good game against Gainesville;
just as he has played in all the
Newton clashes.

Prince, Galloway Injured As
Rams Lose Io Gainesville, 39-0
* By 808 GREER
Gainesville's Red Elephants
stampeded the Newton County
Rams here last Friday night and
left the field with a 39-0 victory
and a firm hold as a co-favorite
for the Region 4-A (East) cham
pionship.
Newton County, walloping
Hartwell the previous week on
the local field, was no match
for the Gainesville team. After
the intermission Salty Prince was
forced to leave the game with
a pulled leg-muscle. Already in
the second quarter the Rams had
lost their driving fullback Buddy
Galloway with a neck injury.
At the half the Gainesville
team was leading by a comfort
able 20 points. However, the in
juries to Galloway and Prince
dashed whatever hopes the New
ton boys had of scoring on the
visitors. The deepest penetration
into Gainesville territory by the
Newton attack was the 40-yard
line in the third quarter.
Gainesville billed as the co
favorite for the erown with
Athens in Region 4-A (East)
quickly showed the fans that

the Gainesville team, suffered

they meant business. Newton re
ceived and failed to move the
sticks. Johnny Carter punted and
the Red Elephants took over on
the locals’ 45-yard stripe. In ten
plays Ronald Judson went over
for the first score. Frank Russell
added the PAT and the home
boys were behind 7-0.
Gainesville added two touch
downs in the second period on
the slick ball-handling of Quar
terback Tom Aaron. He went over
from the two and later threw
a TD pass to End Jim Turk for
another score just as the time
ran out.
Judson reeled off a 73-yard
run for a marker in the third
period and the Newton opponent
added their final TD on Aaron’s
four-yard dash in the fourth.
Statistics on the game showed
that Gainesville was the master
rolling up 399 yards by rushing
and through the air to the Rams'
14 yards net. First downs favored
the visitors 16 to three. Two of
the Newton marker movers were
by the penalty route.
Left Guard Thomas Hogan and
Right Tackle Wilbur Fisher came
through with creditable show
ings in the Newton line. Bobby
Gene Rogers was the mainstay
in the local backfield.
For the visitors Quarterback
Aaron and Left Half Judson car
ried the offensive burden. Aaron
played • bang-up game, scoring
twice himself and passing for
two more scores. Abo an import
ant factor in keeping Newton
County on their end of the field
was the excellent kick-offs by
Center Frank Russell of Gaines
viKe. He booted the ball high
and far on all his attempts.
Coach Rogers said yesterday
that Galloway should be able to
play m the Toccoa game on Oct
ober 31. He added that Prince
may be lost to the team for at
least three weeks. The Rams
have an open date this week on
account of the Newton County
Fair which is in progress.
