For a long time, Boys Estate,
i the home for homeless boys near
Brunswick, has needed a school.
But until now. no one has unSpr
taken the task of raising the
money necessary to finance such
an institution.
Now, the Georgia Consumer
Finance Association, composed of
over 200 loan and finance com
panies throughout Georgia, has
taken as an association project
the raising of SBO,OOO needed to
build the school.
Judge W. W. Woolfolk, the not
ed Juvenile Court Judge of Ful
ton County, is heading the cam
paign. He and his associates are
attempting to carry their mes
sage into every Georgia county,
impressing on Georgians that
their donations to this cause will
be one of the finest contributions
to society they can make.

Willie Moore
Rams Take Henry County!
27-7 For Fourth Win
BY 808 GREER
(Covington News Sports Editor)
Halfback Willie Moore's final game for Newton County
last Friday night is one long to be remembered by the
local fans as he led his Ram teammates to a convincing
27-7 victory over Henry County.
Moore scored three touchdowns
on runs of 16, 70 and 88 yards
and compiled a rushing mark
of 231 yards in 12 carries from
the line of scrimmage. This
astounding total is believed to
be an individual record for a
Newton County player in many,
many years.
The game marked the final
appearance in a Ram uniform
for Moore as he has used up
his eligibility as a high school
player. His record over the past
two seasons is likely to stand
for years to come as he has
racked up a total of 1350 yards,
via rushing. In 1955 Willie had
732 yards in 133 carries, and
this past campaign he carried
the ball for 618 yards in 96
tries. His overall average is a
ood 6.05 yards per carry.
Newton’s rout of the Henry
ounty team took form after
he second half got underway.
\t the intermission Coach Milton
McLaney’s boys had a 7-0 ad
antage.
The Rams received the kick
off and after a 15-yard penalty
, they got their second TD drive
i underway as Moore returned
Babb’s punt from his own 22
to the 50.
Larry Laster got eight at left
tackle. Wendell Crowe made it
first down on the McDonough
38. Moore went to the 30 and
Laster to the 26 for another
FD. Laster rammed to the 16’2
to set the stage for Willie’s
first touchdow’n of the game.
Moore circled his own right end
| for the marker. Laster added
the point through the line.
Henry County fought back,
with their scat-back Wallace
Moore lugging the ball in be
tween Larry Babb's passes and
line plunges, to the Newton 36.
Moore scooted to the nine and
Newton drew a penalty to the 1.

NEWS' Observations
The Tech-Georgia Freshman football game will be
played in Atlanta today (Thursday) for the Shrine Crippled
children. One of the Georgia freshmen will go into the
game with the distinction that no other player may claim.
Charlie Britt had offers from 43 schools before casting
his lot with the Bullpups.
Maybe you haven't paid any attention to it, but better
TV camera work in baseball this summer came from
Cincinnati. In Pro football the best TV coverage is from
Washington.
Now that all the Bowl talk is back with us, it might
be interesting to list the bowls in order of interest and
importance (to us, that is):
Ist Sugar Bowl, New Orleans.
2nd Gator Bowl. Jacksonville.
3rd Cotton Bowl, Dallas.
4th Rose Bowl, Pasadena.
sth Tangerine Bowl, Orlando.
6th Orange Bowl, Miami.
Our reason for naming the Sugar Bowl first is that
both teams are selected on their record and there is no
tie-up with any conference. Our second choice, the Gator
Bowl is somewhat in the same position.
The Cotton Bowl has at least one champ in it — the
Southwest king, and an outstanding invitee.
Both coaches in the game this Saturday in Jacksonville
will be pulling for their Alma Mater, the University of
Tennessee, to lose to Kentucky. If that does happen, then
either Coach Dodd's Yellow Jackets or Bob Woodruff's
Gators can claim the SEC title.
The Georgia Bulldogs have played three teams this
season who are not eligible for any bowls this year. They
met Miami. Auburn and Florida. Both Miami and Florida
have powerhouse teams and would make excellent bowl
timber if they were allowed to play this year. Auburn is
decidedly one of the weaker teams of the SEC this year.
They have been soundly thrashed by Tennessee (35-7), Tech
(28-7), and Florida (20-0).
Only two Southern Association baseball managers will
return to pilot the same teams they handled this past sea
son. They are Cal Ermer at Chattanooga and Jo-Jo White
at Mobile. The Crackers Clyde King has signed as manager
of Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League.
Earl Mann. President of the Crackers, and now on a
world tour, barely got out of Israel before the shooting
started there recently.

Never has a Ram player made

he did it twice within three
