Tech'* Opponent To Be Penn State
Newton County High Ram varsity football players are
getting set to see a humdinger of a ball game at the Gator
Bowl in Jacksonville, December 30. Tech has already been
invited and the Jackets’ opponent will be Penn State.
This trip will be Tech’s third to the Gator attraction.
They downed Pittsburgh 21-14 and lost to Coach Frank Broy
les Arkansas team 14-7.
Frances Tarkenton Visits Parent*
Frances Tarkenton, quarterback of the Minnesota Vik
ings of the National Football League, visited his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Tarkenton of Oxford, just prior to the
Thanksgiving holiday. Tarkenton arrived by air Monday
and flew back to Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Frances’ brother Dallas of Hartwell, an assistant coach
of the Hart County Bulldogs, was also a visitor of the elder
Tarkentons on Wednesday and Thursday. However, he didn’t
get to see his brother as Frances left at noon and Dallas came
to Oxford late in the afternoon.
THIS AND THAT!
The Greensboro (Ga.) High School Band has been invited
to the Orange Bowl game at Miami New Years Day. Towns
people raised $1,500 in one day to send the band to Miami
to appear in the Orange Bowl Parade. Greensboro’s band
appeared at the Gator Bowl last year . . . Such incidents of
dirty football as happened in the Tech-Alabama game in
which Tech’s Chick Granning was perhaps injured for life,
is one of the reasons the Pros are gaining more everyday
in popularity. They (the Pros) don’t permit such dastardly
acts on the field . . .
Here’s a preacher who practices what he preaches: Preacher
Pilot (that’s his name) of New Mexico State gained 319 yards

. . . There’s a lot of folks who are rejoicing this week that
Rutgers has finished the season undefeated and untied.
They, along with Alabama, are the only major teams in the
country with a perfect record . . .
Maybe you think your favorite college football team had
a dismal year just because they didn’t win all their games.
Well, what about the supporters of Illinois? They didn’t win
a game this year and it is the first time since the school
started football (70 years ago) that they have had a winless
season.
Here's one we just had to pass along! “How is it that a
husband who bowls half the night without making a strike
can manage to knock over all the milk bottles on the porch,”

Brunswick will instil 32 duckpin lanes in Atlanta in the

IT TAKES THE DRIVER at the curb only one or two seconds to
ploy a dirty trick on you. A twist of the wheel, a touch of the
pas, and the first thing you know you've got him practically in
your lap. He only has to move a few feet to get into your lane,
but you need time to see him, time to react, and space in which
to etop. Useful hints in spotting this maneuver are: 1. exhaust
earning from the tail pipe; 2. driver in front seat; and 3. front
wheels in a turned position.

COVINGTON. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1961
Newton Teams Impress Fans
Newton County High basketball teams performed for the
home folks for the first time this season Tuesday night and
the impression they left on one and all was that Coaches
Stone Cooper and Ronald Bradley have assembled fine ball
clubs.
The opposition Tuesday was
Clarkston High and the local
girls posted a 62-22 verdict and
the Rams ran up a 66-31 score
with all members of the squad
seeing action in the tilt.
Jordye Bailey, Rosemary
Laster and Day Morcock scor
ed in the double figures with
18 - 15 and 14 points respec
tively. Cooper used six forwards
in the game and the speed with
which each combination ma
neuvered was heartening to all
present. Miss Laster, shifted to
a forward spot this year, shows
signs of becoming one of the
NCHS all-time greats with her
drive and jump shot.
The Rams threw up a great
defense at the Clarkston five
and the visitors managed to
score only a free throw in the
first quarter. The score at the
half was 31-6.
Billy Shaw, performing at a
forward this year, sank 19
points in the first half and
wound up the night with a to
tal of 25 as he rested most of
the final half. Michael Rut
ledge, Henry Bowen, Butch
Farr and Jimmy Jordan, all
starters, performed in a cham
pionship manner.
Both local teams now have
won three games in the 1961-
62 season. The next game for
the local school teams will be
Friday night in Covington as
the Baldwin County squads
come in for a test. Tuesday
night the NCHS teams will go
to Conyers.

Rams Extend
Regular Season
String To 27
The Newton County Rams
basketball boys won their two
first games of the regular sea
sun Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings at Social Circle and
has served the library as di
ular season streak to 27
straight games.
The NCHS girls also won
their games at the above towns
as they too, opened the 1961-
62 season.
At Social Circle the Rams
used 11 players in their 71-25
victory with Billy Shaw drop
ping in 18 markers. Henry
Bowen had 13 and Michael
Rutledge 12. Harris was high
man for the Social Circle team
with 14.
In the Newton boys victory
over Loganville, Shaw and
Jimmy Jordan combined to
lead Coach Ronald Bradley’s
team to a 55-44 win. Shaw had
25 points and Jordan hauled
down 11 rebounds. The two
Shaw boys for Loganville were
high pointers for their club—
L. Shaw with 13 and G. Shaw
with nine.
Junior Bowling
Still Open At
Gold Crown Lanes
AU boys and girls who were
unable to attend last weeks
league opening may still be
placed on a team or may enter
a team, announced Carlos Mey
er, Junior Bowling Coach at
Gold Crown Lanes. “We will
hold the league open this Sat-
u r day for late comers and for
persons who were out of town
on the holidays, but Saturday
is the last day for these two
leagues”, he said. Those not
on a team should come to Gold
Crown Lanes at 9 a.m. for the
age group 13-18 Youth League
and the 8-12 age group at 11
a.m. for the Bantam Buster
League.
We had a fine group of
youngsters attend our opening
league day as 20 teams were
formed with over 80 boys and
firls in attendance. All young
sters who did not bring their
50 cents for AJBC registration
last Saturday should bring it
this Saturday. Anyone desiring
information on this program
may call 786-5386. We wel
come all parents and visitors
to see this league of Covington
youngsters underway. We have
some excellent bowlers in the
making and should be making
bowling headlines in the near
future, said Mr. Meyer.
ORDERS UP
Orders and shipments of
Southern Pine lumber for 43
weeks of 1961 are up nine per
cent and seven percent, res
pectively from the same period
last year.
Such increases are indicated
in reports by 84 mills, pub
lished in the “weekly trade
barometer” of the Southern
Pine Association.
Americans last year ate more
than SSOO million worth of fro
zen prepared dishes, report
Extension nutritionists.
Go Fishing
At Night
When the shades of darkness
fall over this land of ours, most
of we more sedentary - type
fishermen fold up whatever we
are doing and head for home,
to 101 l in the security and
safety of our own four walls.
But as we pull into our
street more and more often we
pass veteran fishermen on their
way out, heading for the fish
ing spots now clothed in dark
ness.
The reason, according to
fishing authorities at the Mer
cury outboard company, is
that a lot of knowing fisher
men are discovering that their
fishing success is upped con
siderably when they fish at
night, as this is the time when
most fish feed.
Catfishermen have known
this for years, the good cat
fishermen that is, and have
refined the art to a real joy.
They go out at dusk, bait and
set their lines and spend the
evening sitting around a fire
swapping lies and “running”
their lines. If the luck is good
they are ready to go home at
midnight, loaded with a “mess”
of fish. Or sometimes they
stay all night, roasting weiners
over the fire for a late lunch
and frying fish for breakfast
in the morning.
Over at Lake Texoma on the
Oklahoma - Texas border,
where white bass fishing is le
gendary, night is the time to
go, because that is when the
bass go on feeding argies that
are fantastic to behold.
The same is true for large
mouth bass fishing, where fish
ermen find the big fellows
feed at night more often than
the daytime. And also wall
eyes, and crappie, and even
trout, where night fishing for
them is legal. Os all the tribe,
only northern pike seem to
slack off the feeding pace
with the coming of night, the
Mercury fishermen find.
Perhaps the evidence would
be even more overwhelming if
more of us fished at night. But
being the weak and comfort
loving creatures that we are it
is doubtful that the fish are in
too much danger of extermina
tion because of our successful
night fishing.
Wolverines
Win 2 Games
In watching the first games
of the R. L. Cousins Wolver
ines, and the Wolverettes, I
was deeply impressed. Im
pressed not only by the great
spirit shown by the team, but
also by their apparent fine
Coaching by C. J. Tinsley and
L. Smith.
The Wolverines in their first
game on last Friday night en
joyed a run away. As Garfield
Johnson, the Sophomore “spark
plug” lead the scoring. The win
was 56 to 31 over the Stone
Mountain Hawks.
Last Monday night the Wol
verines again engaged in com
bat, this time with J. P. Carr of
Conyers. The victorious Wol
verines dumped J. P. Carr 48
to 42. This game found the
name Johnson again in t h e
spotlight as Johnny Johnson of
the Freshman class netted 16
points.
—Albert Griffin, Jr.
Cousins Girls
Lose 20-19
Among so much joy must be
found some gloom. The gloom
was supplied by a heartbreak
ing loss by the R. L. Cousin
Wolverettes to the J. P. Carr
girls. The score was Cousins 19,
J. P. Carr 20.
In spite of this let down the
team is to be congratulated
for a hard fought game.
As I watched the Wolverines
and Wolverettes play the Game,
I felt proud. Proud of the sup
port given to the team by my
fellow students. But even more
proud that I am on the side of
a winning team.
Said Coach C. J. Tinsley,
“We hope to win, and it .can
be done with all “Freshmen
Rookies”.

Oglethorpe Fans Waiting
For Teams Toughest Schedule
By Russell Eisenman
The days are getting shorter
for Oglethorpe’s basketball
team. Players and fans alike
are looking to the December
2 opener with St. Bernard at
Oglethorpe. The Stormy Pet
rels, national small college de
fense champs for the last three
years, will be facing outstand
ing basketball power* game
after game thi* season.
With all the talk about the
new toughies on O. U.’s sched
ule, there is a tendency to over
look St. Bernard. Don’t be
misled. That Cullman, Ala
bama team has consistently
proved to be a first rate bas
ketball team. Two years ago
they defeated the Petrels,
though O. U. got its revenge
last year. However, all games
with St. Bernard have been
close, hard fought contests.
Last year Oglethorpe en
gaged in two great battles with
Georgia Southern. The Stormy
Petrels won the first contest
by twelve points and lost in
overtime at Statesboro by two
points. This should give an in
dication of the relatively small
margin between the two clubs
last year.
Two new clubs on the O. U.
schedule, Pikeville and Jack

But, it would be a gross er

have these credentials: two
