Error Corrected in Rom-Forsyth Game
We always stand ready to make corrections when we
are in error in our sports in the county. Two weeks ago
we made a big error and only after checking with NCHS
statisticians and Coach Miiton McLaney did we realize that
we had inadvertently credited a TD to the wrong player
on the Ram team.
The case in point involved Terry Rutledge and Ronnie
Lynch. We gave Rutledge credit for the 69-yard TD run
in the Ram-Forsyth County game when it should have
gone to Lynch. Ronnie reeled off the scintillating run.
Now that changes the record for a Ram rushing in a
single game back to Willie Moore who racked up 231 yaids
in a game in 1956. Rutledge actually had 185 yards in the
Ram-Forsyth game.
Wally Butts says that he likes to see his team get pen
alized occasionally for offsides. He says that it shows they
are contacting the enemy . . . Harmon Killebrew of the
Minnesota Twins not only led the American League in home
runs, he also led the majors in strike outs this past season . .
Larry Laster has never played on an Auburn team that lost
to Tennessee. He saw action last year and the Tigers won
24-2 J at Knoxville. Saturday he scored two TDs in the Tiger’s
22-21 victory. As a sophomore, Larry had a broken collar
bone and did not play against the Vols.
Ralph T. Lewis, of Marion, Ohio, at age 85, scored a
hole-in-one recently on a 140-yard shot. It was his first ace
. . . Dennis Hammonds may be ready for the Ram-St. Pius
X game on October 27th. 'He has been sidelined with in
juries sustained in an auto wreck . . . Rockdale County came
up with a big play on the final play of the game against
powerful Norcross'Friday night. The Conyers team scored
on the last play of the game to win 13-12.
Fred Whitfield, St. Louis Cardinal first sacker and former
Atlanta Cracker, was named to the Major League All-Star
rookie team for 1962 . . . Ohio State’s football stadium was
filled to more than capacity last season. Sounds out of line,
but the Buckeye’s had 104% capacity which was some
5 000 above the 81.000-seating capacity . . . One Atlanta
Cracker, Phil Gagliano 2b, was named to the International
League All-Star team. Four players from the Jacksonville
club were named to the team . . .
Coach Ray Graves’ Florida Gators have not scored on
Georgia Tech since that memorable game at Gainesville
three years ago when the Gators edged Tech 17-16 . . . .
Dick Donovan of Cleveland, former Cracker of that great
1954 team, was named as one of the pitchers on an All-Ameri
can League team this season by Look mag ... It sems like
Louisville, a Brave farm, put together a bunch of misfits
and young players to win the American Assn, playoffs and
a spot in the Junior World Series. Not a single Colonel was
of All-Star calibre or selection ....
“Some men are incapable of thinking things out for them
selves; and so they get married and thereafter don’t need
to think.” — (Jimmy Pounds’ Imperial Magazine) . . . .
Many folks think that Early Wynn, at 42, is the oldest active
pitcher in the major leagues. Well, Diamedes Olivo of the
Pittsburgh Pirates is 43 . . . Everybody knows that Baba
Ruth hit 714 home runs in his career but many do not know
that he also struck out the most times—l,33o . . . The Har
vard coaching staff has six members, none of whom went
to Harvard.
Coaches and players in high school and college football
have been offered a word of caution by the American Medi
cal Association concerning the dangers of vigorous physical
evercise in hot weather. With the start of practice, it warns,
it is essential to provide for gradual adjustment to hot
weather activity. Equally important is the need to adjust salt
and water intake to weather conditions. It adds that the
old idea that water should be withheld from athletes during
workouts has absolutely no scientific foundation.

Newton Midgets,
Baby Rams Set
Oct. 16 Twinbill
Newton County Midget Al! -
Star team lost its two initial
games of the season but the
squad under Coaches Tom Lo
vern and Billy Crowell has shown
much improvement since the
team was organized here for the
first time some three weeks ago.
In the first game for the 85-
115-pounders the Elberton team
downed the locals on Sharp Field
41-7. Tuesday the Newton boys
lost at Athens to the Athens Y
team 41-13.
Newton coaches have singled
out two players who have been
outstanding in both games. They
are quarterback Terry Schell and
halfback Phil Shaw.
The two defeats pinned on the
Newton team were not unexpected,
according to Tom Lovern, Recrea
tional Director for the city and
county. “Each has had the pro
gram going for years and they
have bigger boys with more ex
perience,” Mr. Lovern stated.
"Our program is aimed at teach
ing sportsmanship, and to train
our boys for future football in
Newton County.”
The next game for the Newton
Midgets will be against Athens
Y here on Tuesday, October 16th
at 5:30 p. m. Following this game
at 5:30 the Baby Rams will play
an Athens Y team.

Laster Scores Twice in Tiger's
22-21 Victory Over Tennessee
Halfback Larry Laster bulled
through the Tennessee Vol line
Saturday for two touchdowns
as the Auburn Tigers won their
opening game of the season 22
to 21.
Laster went over the double
stripes from the four and the
one-yard lines in bull-like
thrusts, with the latter TD put
ting the Auburn team back n
the lead Saturday in the Birm
ingham tussle. He was a co
captain in the game along with
the other starting halfback,
Jimmy Burson of LaGrange.
Auburn Coach Ralph Jordan
singled out both Laster and
Burson for their stellar roles in
the victory. Burson returned
a punt some 74 yards for a TD.
Laster, himself, threw the key
block that sprung the fleet
Burson loose through the entire
Tennessee team.
In racking up the two six
pointers against the favored
Vols, Laster became one of the
few players in SEC history tn
score twice against a tough
Tennessee eleven.
Auburn goes to Lexington

the Kentucky Wildcats.
Crackers Are
Junior World
Series Champs
The Atlanta Crackers, in their
first try year in AAA baseball,
brought the Junior World Series
title to Atlanta with a twin-win
Tuesday night at Louisville over
the American Association champs.
The scores of the two games
Tuesday evening were identical
2 1.
Atlanta had previously dis
posed of Toronto and Jackson
ville in the International League
playoffs. Going into the Tuesday
action the Crackers needed two
wins to take the ttile.
Ray Sadecki and Harry Fanok
were the two pitchers in the final
games.
The Atlanta team, a farm club
of the St. Louis Cardinals, entered
the International League's Aug
ust drive in sixth place in the loop.
They wound up third and then
took four of six games in their
initial playoffs from the strong
Toronto club. It took the AtL

Callaway Quail
Preserve Opens for
Second Season
PINE MOUNTAIN, Ga. The
quail season opens October 1
and the Callaway Gardens
Quail preserve is ready for its
second season with greatly ex
panded hunting areas and a
bountiful supply of the fast
flying birds.
Preserve Manager Mike
Moneymaker said the past sum
mer has been spent clearing
thickets and swamps, and cut
ting roads to make the several
hunting areas easily accessi
ble by Jeep.
Moneymaker said It will be
possible to hunt as many as
six parties at once on the pre
serve, and that a hunter may
hunt an entire week without
shooting the same area twice.
Hunting will be in two pe
riods —from 8 a.m. until noon
and from 1:30 p.m. until dark.
In addition to Moneymaker,
guides Bobby Sharp, Joe Ham
by, Ernest Truett, Jr. and Wal
lace Guthrie are ready for the
season, and at least 15 experi
enced dogs are available for
use of hunters. •
Hunters may bring their own
dogs, Moneymaker said, if they
are safe and under control.
For accommodations, the
Gardens provides the 171-room
Holiday Inn of Callaway Gar
dens, and 79 family-style cot
tages. There is a comfortable
lodge at the preserve where
hunters may gather before and
after a hunt for toasting by a
log fire and for swapping tales
about their shoot.
There is no bag limit on the
preserve. Those interested are
urged to make reservations by
writing Mike Moneymaker.

WHERE TO SHOOT DOVES
Georgia's dove season got underway September
15 and hunters who went afield on opening day en
joyed unusually good success.
With a prediction for excellent shooting from the
Game and Fish Commission ringing in their ears,
hunters had quite a time firing at the darting, twist
ing target offered by the sporty dove.
Hunters were warned to exercise extreme caution
in selecting shooting sites, lest they violate federal
and state baiting laws.
Hunters may legally shoot doves:
(1) Over grain fields seeded in a normal agri
cultural manner.
(2) Over standing crops.
(3) Over flooded standing crops of grain or other
feed, including acquatics.
(4) Over grain crops properly shocked on
field where grown.
(5) Over standing grain or other feed crops
grazed by livestock. An example of this is a hogged
down corn field.
(6) Over grain found scattered as the result of
normal agricultural harvest.
(7) Over weed fields, pasture lands, wooded or
other areas where salt, grain or other feed has not
been scattered or deposited so as to constitute a lure
or attraction for such birds.
(8) Over fields where grains or other crops
have fallen to the ground from natural causes.
(9) Over burned areas from which crops have
been removed, or on which no agricultural grain or
seed crops were grown during the current year.
(10) Over farm ponds or other water areas which
have not been baited.
The three areas where it is illegal to hunt migra
tory game birds are:
(1) Over bait—or by means, aid and use of
bait over any areas where grain, salt, or other
feed capable of luring or attracting such birds
is placed, deposited, distributed or scattered
except as the result of a normal agricultural
planting or harvesting.
(2) Over feed lots where grain is present as a re
sult of feeding livestock.
(3) Over areas where grain crops have been cut
down, dragged down, knocked down, burned over or
otherwise manipulated and left on the ground.
It is suggested that dove shooters clip this inf or
mation and place it in a handy place for reference.
