Georgia-Vandy
Game Was
Thrill-Packed
Last week it was our pleasure
to see a very- good football game
at Athens between Vanderbilt
end Georgia. The score? It could
n’t have been much closer (16-14
in favor of the Bulldogs).
It seems as if everything hap
pened to the delight of fans for
both teams. First out of the bag
Vandy fumbled and Georgia re
covered on the 20. A first down
put the ball on the seven and
there the Commodores held.
A few plays later another-

Vandy fumble and the Bulldogs
completed a pass for a TD as
the quarter ended. In the second
period Bobby Garrard reeled off
a 59-yard run for anothet score.
Vandy fought back and completed
several long passes and scored
to make it 13-7 at halftime.
In the fourth period Vandy
I put over another TD and the
Bulldogs found themselves be
hind 14-13. However, with six
minutes to play, Georgia blocked
: a punt and recovered on the 31.
| On fourth down Joe Graff kicked
a field goal to put the Bulldogs
ahead 16-14 with four minutes
remaining.
With only a minute and a half
Georgia fumbled at midfield
and the visitors recovered. Passes
and ground plays moved the ball
to the ten with five seconds left
in the game. A field goal at
tempt was blown to the left of
the goal posts and all the faith
ful of the Georgia homecoming
day went home happy.
Georgia plays its . remaining
games away from home with the
exception of the traditional
game with Tech on November 27.
Fisher One Os
The Very Best
We would like in a small
i measure to pay tribute here to
I one of the best tackles tin this
section of Georgia. He is Wilbur
Fisher, Newton County's fine
right tackle.
We have kept a close tab on
the defensive play of Coach
James Rogers’ boys this year and
in the five games to date no boy
on the field—on either team —
has measured up to Fisher’s per
formances.
He has made 45 tackles in the
five games with many of these
spine-curdling blows that jarred
the ball carrier aplenty. In the
Newnan and Hartwell games he
tackled the ball-carrier so hard
he knocked himself out and after
first aid remained in the game.
The two strongest teams. the
Rams have played (Southwest
DeKalb and Gainesville) made
the mistake for a half of trying
to come through Fisher’s side of
the line only to be met by the'
185-pounder head-on. Needless
to say the last half of the games
offensive play was directed else
where.
In the Hartwell game Fisher
made 12 tackles, seven by him
self. The total yardage gained
by the opposition on these 12
stops by Fisher was 5 yards net.
Eight of his tackles stopped the
backs on the line of scrimmage.
Fisher will letter this year for
his third consecutive season. He
made a numeral as a sophomore
at center. For the past two years
he will have lettered at tackle.
FISH and GAME
By JOE STEARNS
Worth The Bait
It will be the Summer of 1956
before water is backed up be
hind the great Jim Woodruff
Dam but it is worth the wait.
Probably the thrilling news is
that big, robust, striped bass
definitely will be the Reservoir
We couldn’t keep them out even
if it was desirable.
The stripers always will have
an entry to the lake through the
locks. The Woodruff Lake could
perhaps become one of the great
est striped bass fishing spots in
the nation. Who could ask for a
bigger thrill than tangling with
a 35 or 40 pound striped bass?
Wonder how many anglers will
have equipment strong enough
to put up a winning fight with
a striper?
For the most part, the lake
will be comparatively shallow.
This could mean marvelous fly
fishing. Such conditions are said
to promote abundant life in the
sunfish family. Shell-crackers
•ought to be plentiful and there
probably will be more bream
than any other kind of fish.
Here indeed will be a bass
lake worth constant attention.
The climate is such that bass will
have a long growing season. They
will develop into whopners in
jig time. This is pure specula
tion. of course, but it is entirely
THE COVINGTON NEWS
(2
o
Last season he was chosen by
his teammates as co-captain
along with Lamar Smith.
Yes, we have seen some fine
ball players in line play in the
high schools of Tennessee and
Georgia. For our money we’ll
take the curley-haired boy from
Porterdale as the best lineman
in the Mid-South. If y»u are
a student of the game it will
do your heart good to see Wilbur
Fisher in action, whether or not
you are a follower of the New
ton County Rams.
OBSERVATIONS—
Scores of future opponents of
Newton County were Toccoa 12,
Gainesville 30; Monroe 20, Hart
well 0; Winder 12, Commerce 12;
Athens 14, Albany 6.
Frank Sinkwich and Bob Mc-
Whorter were honored Saturday
at halftime of the Georgia-Vandy
game as they received scrolls of
their selection to the Football
Hall of Fame. Sinkwich made
All-America at Georgia in 1941-
42. McWhorter was a selection
in 1911-12-13.
All eyes this week will be
turned to Little Rock, Arkansas
Saturday where the titans Mis
sissippi and Arkansas will meet
for a crucial game to determine
the winner of the Southeastern
Conference. The Arkansas game
will count as the “sixth SEC
game” for the Ole Miss Rebels.
It is rumored that if Ole Miss
wins they will receive a bid to
the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
At least two second-best teams
will be in the New Years bowl’
games come January 1. UCLA
on the Pacific Coast isn’t eligible
to return to the Rose Bowl, and
Oklahoma is likewise barred
from the Orange Bowl game two
years in a row.
The Monroe (Ga.) Drum and
Bugle Corps, composed entirely
of girls, performed before the
possible that the next world’s
record bass might come from the
Woodruff waters.
Water will back up over about
34.500 acres of rich, fertile land.
This means the fish will thrive
and spawns will be heavy. As
usual, the state probably will be
blamed by a few for the abund
: ance of carp. The cSrp already in
: the water should get the credit
since one adult can spawn almost
a million. The rough fish prob
lem will be with us and will
.get attention.
Fishermen will be cheered to
know they can go through the
locks and on down into Florida
waters. The locks will transfer
the anglers back and forth three
times per day. Barges and com
mercial boats will go through
upon arrival.
“Choppy” Fulford, of Donald
sonville, had this to say, “Our
people are really getting ready.
They are buying new fishing
tackle, boats and every kind of
imaginable rig in anticipation
of the terrific fishing at Wood
ruff. At least 50 people are se
riously thinking of getting into
bait business.’’
Mayor Cheney Griffin, of Bain
bridge, declared. “It will be a
bonanza to this section of Geor
gia. We expect visitors from
every section of the state and
even from many far away states.
My cane pole and rod and reel
will be ready when the big day
< comes.’’
Mayor Edgar Stapleton, of
! Donaldsonville has been en-
I thusiastically interested in the
project from the start and has
worked hard to make possible
this great recreational, fishing
and hunting paradise.
“Just to give you an idea of
how we have planned ahead.”
the Donaldsonville Mayor said,
“our airport has been developed
to handle planes from every
where. A fisherman can land on
our field and in 20 minutes, he
can be out on the water fishing.”
A few years in the future,
the Woodruff Lake will be dotted
with cottages. Boat docks will
be doing a brisk business and
fishermen will never stop talking
about the monsters^ that tore up
their tackle.
One duck to another — “Quit
I trying to walk like a woman
wearing slacks.”
If money grew on trees there
• wouldn’t be any forest fires.
Rams Play At
Toccoa Friday
Newton County Rams, with a
week's rest behirMi them, will
play at Toccoa Friday night in
' the Rams third game in Region
4-A (East). Coach Rogers’ boys
are 1-1 in Region play.
A severe blow to the Rams
was made known last week when
it was announced that Left Half
back John (Salty) Prince would
not be able to play in the re
mainder of the games. Prince
pulled a leg muscle —a recur
i rence of an injury suffered last
i season. Salty is a senior this year
I and has made four letters as a
varsity player for the Rams.
Toccoa lost last week to
Gainesville 30-12 and now have
a season record of two wins and
four losses.
The Rams will probably' open
the game with Bobby Savage
and W. L. Knight at ends, Wilbur
Fisher and Lamar Smith at tack
les, Tom Hogan and David Mc-
Cullough at guards and Leo
Mallard at center. In the back
field will be Johnny Carter at
quarter, Blunt Patterson and
Bobby Gene Rogers at halves,
and Budddy Galloway at full
back.
Georgia-Vanderbilt game Satur
day and made a tremendous hit.
We’re hoping that they make an
appearance in Covington when
Monroe plays the Rams on Nov
ember 12.
Initial basketball practices for
Newton County boys and girls
were held last week under the
direction of Coach Earl Hoff
meister. First home game will be
played in late November.
Co-Captain Lamar Smith of
the 1954 Rams enjoys an honor
that very seldom comes to a
gridiron player. He is serving
his third consecutive year as a
co-captain of his team. In 1952
he served with Kenneth Piper,
in 1953 with Wilbur Fisher and
this year with Salty Prince and
Johnny Carter,
Toccoa will be the first op
ponent of the Rams this year
who uses the single wing. All
others have employed the T.

A Little
Preaching
BY REV. ALFRED W. HANNER
BY REV ALFRED HANNER
PASTOR NORTH COVINGTON
METHODIST CHURCH
The best selling and perhaps
the least read book in America is
the Holy Bible. Year after year
it is the Bible which tops the
selling lists, other books come
and go but the Bible stays there
on top. I doubt that it holds top
place in the reading list of Amer
ica in spite of how it sells. If you
had read across the face of this
paper that all Bible in Newton
County would be collected and
burned by the government, you
and thousands like you would be
up in arms. If, however, there
could be some secret process to
make the type disappear from the
pages of the Bible, who could
say how long it would be before
people knew the news, months,
years, never for some.
At our finger tips we have the
wisdom of the ages and the book
that has com through centuries
changing lives all the way. There
too we have a book that is not
obsolete in the atomic age. Al
though there is no magical power
in the word of God thre is a path
way to God that can be found in
very few places in this mechan
ical-atomic world of today.
