COACH DODD
eight years he said, “there is no
place for a losing coach who,
year in and year out, fails to have
a winning season - record. At
Georgia Tech we have been for
tunate to get some of the best
high school boys for our team
and that is the reason we have
been successful.”
Coach Dodd said that football
at Tech carried many of the
other sports and that it was his
hope that basketbail in the near
future would take its rightful
place in the school’s athletic pro
gram. He listed golf, swimming,
track, and baseball as being de
pendent on football and the gate
receipts at Tech for their survi
val.
In a blistering attack on the
sports writers who build up or
tear down football players and
teams, Coach Dodd said that the
“attitude of these sports writers
is definitely hurting some boys
by building up the idea that a
winner is the only thing in the
game.”
“One case of a sports writer
praising a coach of a large school
was completely out of line as
the coach of that school was
as rotten as he could be. He
had violated all the rules of
fair play and had contributed
nothing to the game of football,’’
Coach Dodd emphasized.
j “Today the sports writers tend
to build up or tear down the
| mental attitude of many football
: players. Their influence by w’hat
| they write is definitely hurting
football and is not justified in
many cases. Sports writers
should not criticize an 18-year
old boy for the kind of game he
plays,” Dodd said.
The Tech headman had high
praise for the winning desire
possessed by the athletes at
Georgia schools. He told of his
past five games with SMU, four
of which he had expected to
lose when they were originally
scheduled. Instead, he divulged,
Tech has won four of those five.
“Texas teams have big, strong
boys and are generally better,
physically speaking, than Geor
gia boys, but they don’t have
the determination and spirit that
we have,” he pointed out.
Eight senior football players
of Newton High were present for
the speech and luncheon. Also
the Newton coaching staff, Stone
Cooper, Milton McLaney, Don
1 Shea and Kirk Price were pres
ent. The players were, Willie

Newton Girls Lose Final
Home Game to Westminster
Newton County girla tasted defeat in their final basket
ball game at home last Saturday in the windup of he 4AA
Sub-Region Tournament when they made only seven field
goals in their encounter with Westminster.
Holding two victories over
their opponents in the regular
season apparently failed to scare
the tall Wesminster sextet, and
more especially their guards. The
Newton forwards, Joseph in e
Heard, Shirley Hayes, Betty Ann
Masten, and Jackie Yancey failed
to register a basket from the
field during the first half. At
that the Newton County guards
did a herculian job in limiting
the Westminster team to only
35 points in the game, and the
local sextet came close to win
ning the game, 33-35.
However, with all the dismal
basketball in the first three
quarters by the Newton for
wards, Coach Stone Cooper’s
girls almost saved the game
with a spectacular fourth period
surge. They entered the final
quarter trailing 33-24. Steadily
they closed the gap and as the
final whistle sounded the deficit
was a mere two-points.
The Newton forwards appar
ently had their worst night in
the accuracy department as they
hit only 24.1 percent of their
shots from the field, whereas, the
Westminster team had a 33.3 per
cent mark. The foe had 13 field
goals on 39 shots.
Coach Don Shea’s boys won
third place in the tournament
and earned the right to enter the
finals of the overall region play
at Newnan this week. Their op
ponent was to have been Smyr
na on Wednesday (yesterday).
The Newton girls will see ac
tion tonight (Thursday) at 6
o’clock. Fairbum, the number
three team in the Sub-Region
West section, is the opponent.
GAME NOTES—
Newton boys put the clamp on
Chamblee, the regional tourna
ment runner-up in 1956, by a
51-50 score in the first night of
action in the meet. Then Gaines
ville walloped the local boys in
the semi-finals 57-50.
The local girls won their semi
final game against Gainesville
by a lopsided score of 44-30.
Josephine Heard was held out of
the game due to a sprained ankle
suffered in practice on Monday
preceding the tournament.
For the thrid place spot in the
tournament, Newton downed
Westminster 55-41. Coach Shea’s
boys had one of their better
nights and really hit the hoops
consistently. Their shooting per-

By DON BALLARD
(Newton Representative
A fight has developed between
the House and Senate on the
school teacher pay increase. The
House had to accept an amend

it back to SIOO. I think the House
will accept the SIOO increase for
teachers.
Final action is nearly completed
on the Jekyll Island bill. I be
lieve that within a short time
Jekyll Island will be developed
thoroughly. I have every con

Jekyll Island will be once and
for all removed from politics
and given to the people of Geor

in a vicious piece of legislation

Gets $315,000
In Damages
The Communications Workers
of America has paid Southern
Bell Telephone Company $315,000
for physical damage inflicted on
the Company’s facilities during
the 1955 strike.
Payment by the Union was the
outgrowth of a damage suit filed

agreement to this effect was

The suit seeking $5,000,000 for
