Bowl! Bowl! Bowl!
Bowl, bowl, bowl! That seems to be the talk in Covington
end Newton County and all across the land these days.
With our two brand-new bowling lanes here in Coving
ton and jam-packed crowds at each place almost every night,
one would think that the family sport is taking over, even
from the football faithful. Then too, the choice of bowl teams
for the holidays is creating quite a furor.
Newton County Rams football players would most surely
welcome a chance to see the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in
the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville, come December 30. The
Rams will be guests of the Newton Tipoff Club at the Gator
attraction this year The entire varsity will be taken to the
game and the Tipoffers will pay the expenses for the players
and coaches.
The Rams’ headquarters at Jacksonville will be the
Jefferson Hotel in downtown Jacksonville. They’ll also see
the semi-final night of the Gator Bowl basketball tourna
ment or the Gigantic display of Fireworks at the Gator Bowl
on Friday night.
The team who will probably face the Jackets in the
game? Well, that could very well be the strong Maryand
Terrapins of the Atlanta Coast Conference. They have lost
only two games this season and will wind up the season with
an impressive 8-2. Tech will most probably have a 7-3, this
depending on the outcome of the Georgia game on Dec. 2 at
Grant Field.
Just for the record here is our “Bowl Guess:”
Orange—LSU vs. Kansas U.
Rose —UCLA vs. Minn, or Ohio State.
Gator —Tech vs. Maryland.
Cotton —Texas vs. Miss. U.
Sugar—Alabama vs. Arkansas.
At least two bowls will be set come Saturday evening.
LSU plays its final regular season game Saturday against
Tuane, as does Kansas and both LSU and Kansas are ex
pected to get the Orange invite. The Rose will also be settled
as UCLA-Southern Cal meet Saturday and Ohio State and
Michigan . . . There’s a minister’s calling card which read:
‘‘What on earth are you doing for Heaven s sake?”
Baby Rams Win Season Finale 13-0
The Newton County Baby Rams (Junior high team) won
their final game of the season a week ago at Winder 13-0.
Coach Billy Crowell's outfit inflicted the season’s first defeat
on the Winder team. The Barrow outfit had defeated the
Baby Rams earlier in the season 7-6.
Richard Phillips ran 6 yards for one TD and Bob Rich
ardson scored the other on a one-yard plunge.
Two former Newton star athletes have announced plans
to tie the nuptial knot. They are Miss Dianne Moore and
Larry Wagner. Dianne was the leading scorer of the NCHS
girls team last year. Larry is a former baseball and football
player at the high school.
Football playoffs listed for this coming Friday night in
clude: Class AA — Gainesville vs Rossvile, Waycross vs
Westminster. Class B — Morgan County v Fort Valley at
Fort Valley.
THIS AND THAT!
NCHS boys coach Ronald Bradley, lamenting the lack
of height on his team this season said: My boys can t dunk
the ball, they can’t touch the net.” . . . Renovation on a new
hotel at the Augusta Airport will cost about $250,000. The
job is expected to be completed in time for the 1962 Masters
Golf Tournament . . . Coach Milton McLaney of the Rams,
in making the final player award for the back and lineman
of the week for the Ram-Monroe game Friday stated: “I wish
I could make 11 of these awards today as all our boys played
a good game against Monroe.” . . . Bernys Shaw called upon
the two NCHS cage coaches to make speeches at the Tipoff
Club hamburger supper recently. He introduced Coach
Cooper by saying, “Cooper will explain why his team did
not go to the State Tournament last year and he will also
tell whv they are going this year.” As to Bradley Mr. Shaw
said, “He will tell why his team went last year to the State
and why they are not going this year.” . . . Carl Lundgren
of Covington and Oxford is one fellow who is hoping that
Ohio State goes to the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Carl
is a grad of OSU and was at the university when one of my
favorite players was there — Wes Fesler.
Football fans who have seen the Georgia Freshmen per
form this season say that Frank Lankewicz of Butler, Pa.,
is one of the best prospects to ever enroll at Georgia. Con
sidering that Charley Trippi and Frank Sinkwich were pretty
fair gridiron gladiators, this boy must be sensational . . .
The Newton Rams history record on the football field is now
at the .500 mark. Since the school was consolidated in 1949
the victories and defeats are now at 63 with four tie games.
Coach Milton McLaney’s record here at NCHS is now 30-
28-2 They say the reason LSU is having so much success
is that Coach Dietzel juggles his teams (he has three) until
he finds one that is hot . . . Harold Dobbs has gone deer
hunting for the past 12 years and has yet to see a deer. His
son Denny went recently and killed the first one he came
across . . Richard Moore, quarterback on the Austin Peay
State team of Clarkesville, Tenn., is finishing up another
fine year at the helm of the Governors. Richard s team has
one more game to play this season.
“There is nothing new in football except the material,”
Coach Bobby Dood of Georgia Tech.
