Observations
Tech and Georgia square away Saturday in Athens in
their traditional state game, which winds up the gr ; diron
season. However, Tech is looking forward to anothei Bowl
trip, most probably to the Cotton or Gator Bowl.
Terry Bishop has been home visiting his parents on
King Street for a few weeks and last weekend he settled
back to enjoy football on Television. In the college game
। on Saturday he saw a former high school classmate. C. R.
Roberts of Oceanside (Calif.) throw the winning TD pass
। to defeat UCLA 10-7, and on Sunday in the Washington
| Cleveland Pro game he saw another classmate, John Carson,
catch the game-winning pass in their game 20-17. Carson
was a class-mate of Terry's at Roosevelt High in Atlanta.
' Bishop attend schools in Atlanta and Oceanside in Cali-
| 1 fornia before getting his sheepskin.
While this may not be news to some foobtail fans,
we think that Conyers had two of the best players the
Rams played against all season. They were lineman Nor
man Hammonds and back Brady Hurley.
Just how long does it take a football player to give
up his “bachelor’s degree'’ and get a “master s degree?”
Well, in the case of all five Newton County Rams' back
field stars of the 1954 team, it took about two years for
all five to make the trip to the altar. Even before gradu
. tion Salty Prince had the knot tied; Johnny Carter got
hitched soon after graduation from high school; and this
past summer Blunt Patterson and Buddv Gallowav took
, the long journey down the church aisle. Now the fifth
member. Bobby Gene Rogers, is on the threshhold of the
| “big leap.”
I Statistics have shown that a coach who fakes on new
duties at a high school with the football team, will do
well if he wins 40 per cent of his games in his first year.
Coach Milton McLaney helped bear out the axiom of this
finding by winning exactly 40 per cent of his games
this fall, his first year at Newton High. The Rams won
four and lost six.
An odd song for a college to have is the on that the
University of Utah takes as its pepper-upper at the grid
games. It is ‘When The Saints Go Marching In.”
Moore Leads Scorers
Sharp Pass Receiving
Willie Moore, for the second straight year, was the
Rams” leading scorer and ball-carrier after the final figures
were checked this week by the Covington NEWS.
Moore, playing in nine games |
this past season, whereas he j
took part in 10 games in 1955, I
piled .up a total of 618 yards]
in 96 carries for an average of
6.4 yards per try. Wendell Crowe
was the second best ball-carrier ;
in average while Larry Laster !
was runner-up in total yards.
Willie's six touchdowns paced !
the Newton tdam-members in !
the scoring column. This was
also the second year that Moore
led the local point-makers on
the gridiron. He had 36 points
this season on 6 TDs. Last year
he had 24 points on four TDs.
I Runner-up in the scoring column
; this year was Larry Laster with
;25 markers.
End Joe Sharp vanned the
: pass-receivers for Coach Mc-
I Laney’s boys with 193 yards on
15 receptions. Joe’s running mate
at the other end. Mike Caudill,
had 174 yards on 12 pass cat
ches.
In total yardage — ground
and air — the Rams had a re
spectable 2.286 yards. This
would be an average of 228.6
yards per game via both routes.
The ground game for Newton
netted 1794 yards and the pass
ing attack netted 492.

Ready for First Cage Game Friday
A mammoth metal mushroom
is glistening on the edge of
Georgia Tech's campus ind in
side it, come Friday night, Tech
will find out whether footbgll
minded Atlanta will rally to the
boxoffice for college basketball.
First game in the new plant will
pit the Duke Blue Devils against
the Tech Yellow Jackets.
The cage game has been a
major sport at Tech for many
, decades, of course, although the
Engineers never have achieved
anything like the eminence on
the hardwood that they have in
A
football. But even wnen they had
good teams they performed in j
virtual privacy since the old
gym's 2000 seats weren't even
enough to accommodate the stu
dent body.
Now the W. A. Alexander Me
morial Sports Center —a $1,600,-
000 project — is complete, a few
blocks north and east of the
football stadium at Grant field.
The dominating feature of the
center is the million-dollar-plus
