Rams Clip Westminster 13 to 6; Homecoming Friday

The Georgia Bulldogs will travel to Birmingham
Saturday to meet the Alabama Crimson Tide. Tech will
be at Durham, North Carolina to play the Duke Blue
Devils. The Engineers will be gunning to preserve
their Number Two ranking nationally or to better
their position in the game Saturday.
Bill Fulcher, former Georgia Tech lineman, is playing
regularly on defense for the Washington Redskins Pro
team this season. Tech has produced few Pro players,
while on the other hand many Georgia players have gone
on to carve their name in the professional game.
Tech will have played in three Bowls before this year is
up. January Ist they played in the Sugar Bowl; last month
they played SMU in the Cotton Bowl and on November 24
they will play in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville against
Florida.
The field judge at the Ram-Westminster game was the
former New York Yankee hurler, Spud Chandler. Spud
was a football star at the University of Georgia before
turning to major league baseball.
Earl Hotfmeister and James Rogers, former coaches at
Newton High, are apparently having their woes this vear
in the matter of games won and lost at Powell and Pul
aski, Tenn., respectively. Each is below the .500 mark in
this respect in the 1956 season. ’
Westminster's 20 passes thrown at Newton County
last Friday was the most aerials tossed at our boys since
the Newnan-Ram game of 1954 when the Newnan team
hurled 27 at Jim Rogers’ team. They completed 13 in
*hat game.
Coach Charlie Brake of Westminster is having a rough
vear at the Presbyterian school. He moved there this
summer after two great seasons at Morgan County. In
two years at Madison his team lost only two games and
were State B Champs last year. /
Juniot high school football games here have been well
altended, nothwithstanding the fact that the league leader
is Morgan County Junior High. Officials at the games here
have donated their services. They are Newton Athletic |
Director Stone Cooper, Coaches Milton McLaney and Kirk
Price, Buddy Baker and Jim McKay.
While mentioning football officials who work some
games during the season, there are two,® Leonard Van
Horn and Carlos Mever, now attached with the whistle
tooters in Atlanta. |
The Georgia Bulldogs stock has risen substantially |
since their tie game with the Miami Hurricanes. Last week
Miami throttled the TCU Frogs 14-0, who boast having
an All-American on their team, Jim Swink. We are a firm
believer that any All-American back who justly rates such
an honor should be able to score one TD on any teams
almost by himself. |
Jim Thorpe, a truly All-American, once offered a stand- |
ing wager of SIO,OOO that he could make a first down’
in four ball-carries on any team in the world, without any
other backfield help. He had no takers' |

BY TED KESTING
e e Rt oe o i it e e s
No matter how good or how
expensive the rest of your tackle,
it’s that little hook out there on
the end that holds and lands
your fish. Or doesn't hook him
because of poor design. Or breaks
o bends because of poor materi
al.
Anglers should be most part
|icular about trout-fly hooks. Be
cause of their small size and
necessarily light wire, they must
be of very good steel, with the
{right temper. Hooks on most
| lures, being larger and of heav
|ier wire than those used with
lflies, can be and usually are of
!somewhat lower quality, but
|they still serve well enough for
| practical fishing purposes if
}they’re correctly designed. For
{regardless of good steel and pro
\per temper, if a hook is ineffici
| ently designed it's bound to cause
Eunnecessary misses. So let's see
{what is an efficient design.
| Jason Lucas, angling editor of
| Sports Afield Magazine, thinks
'that with artificials (including
{ flies) you’ll land most fish.with
a hook having what comes clos
est to a plain round bend. It's
thard to buy such hooks, but you
lcan generally alter them so
|they’ll be as effective as if orig
iinally made round. Hooks on
{nearly all lures are soft enough
|so that you can easily reshape
ithem with a small pliers. Hooks
jon Dbetter-class flies are much
|harder, but can usually be re
|shaped without breaking. Re
'member that for practical pur
|poses, a bend that's somewhere
‘nearly round will serve just as
{well as one that's perfectly
| round.
1 The most important point
iabout a hook is—the point.
| There are three types. A-“rolled
{in point” is curved inward so
|that it points toward the eye of
the hook. It is best for some large
hooks, especially in deepsea fish
|ing, and some fishermen Ilike
/it on smaller hooks for use with
‘natural bait.
| On a “parallel point" the out
side of the point is parallel to
‘the shank. Hooks of this type
‘are used on nearly all fresh
‘water artificials, including flies.
l A third point is the “outpoint”
'where it is turned outward, away
from the shank. With fresh
‘water artificials, and especially
‘with the small hooks used for
trout flies, a slight outpoint will
‘hook and land a much higher
' percentage of your fish than
iwill a point of any other type.
'Every wiggle a fish makes while
‘you're playing him must drive
‘that outpoint in deeper and deep
er.

ter to End Ray Rogers for the
touchdown.
Westminster threatened 'again
late in the game but Moore
intercepted a pass on the 20
and ran the ball up to the 42
to clinch the victory for Coach
'Milton McLaney’s boys.
In the Newton line it was the

‘tackles in the last quarter when
