Mr. Hill also likes to take
automobile rides and om oc

games on Conyers Street field.
This year Jack Meadors chauf
feured him down to the local
LL field for four games.
How does he listen to the
various baseball broadcasts?
Well, he keeps a record of that
too. For instance, this past year
he heard 122 games over
WPLO in Atianta. These were
the Cracker games and it was
through the generosity of Har

able to listen to the games on
WPLO-FM. Mr. Cowan gave
him an FM radio.

End Ed Miller
Makes Penn. Team
Philadelphia, Pa. — After
several top-flight performances
as a reserve end on the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania football
team Ed Miller, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Miller, 302 Floyd
St., earned a starting job on the
Red and Blue offensive unit
recently and did an excellent
job against Princeton.
Miller caught two passes
against the Tigers for 18 -rards
and threw several key blocks
that kept the Penn touchdown
drive going in the third period.
Miller has caught 3 passes for
29 yards in the three games the
Quakers have played.
A junior at Penn, Miller
caught the eye of coach John
Stiegman at pre-season camp
and after several chances
against opposition earned the
starting job. According to the
Penn coach Miller has shown
excellent hands and has decep
tive speed and has been able to
beat defenders to the ball.

If you've ever felt down in
the dumps, then you should go
out and see Mr. Hill. You'll
come away feeling much bet

years here's one man that en
joys sports, even if he can’t
attend all the games in person.

up a chair in the lounging room
at the sumptuous athletes’
dormitory Jimmy Tarrant pre
sides over. Sure, he'd talk
about it.
“I've always wanted to play,”
Larry said. “Ever since I was a
kid, And I wasn’t getting to
play. 1 wondered why. You
know, whose fauvst it, is and
you don’t put the blame the
proper p.ace some time. :
“I ecame back here this fail
looking to run third team, but
I wanted to play.
“Right after we came in,
Jimmy Burson and I had a talk.
We beth had a lot of problems
in the spring. And we both
decided that what we did this
year would have so much to do
with our future that we had to
do it good.”
Laster finished up last season
as the starting man at right
halfback. After two weeks, he
wasn't a starter. Neither was
Burson.
Laster thinks that the added
reminder that this was the do
or-don’t, the final chance, was
a powerful convincer. He sur
veyed the situation and plow
ed in again. So did Burson, ap-‘;
parently. The two of them —
and Burson’s a Georgian, too—
will be wanting added excel
lence against Georgia Tech here
Saturday. They have company.
“I'VE NEVER seen a team
here with the willpower and
determination of this one,”
Laster said. “I didn't worry,
honest, when we were behind.
Tennessee and when we were
behind Kentucky. You know
that this bunch is going to get.
something done.” 1
Much of the doing has beeni
this senior's of course. There
are others. And on a squad
whose many rookies have got
tenm more attention than nor
mal, it also must be noted that
the senior members like Laster
have provided outstanding
leadership to now.
Ralph Jordan, the coach, was
agreeing some hours later,
readying another practice for
Tech and Legion Field.
“If you don’'t get leadership
from your seniors you're in“
trouble,” Jordan said. “We had
it in the spring. I wondered if
that spirit and hustle could
be transferred into the fall. Iti
has, and without a hitch. |
“Somebody might whip these
| boys, but they won't know it!”i
I “It’s sort of a relaxed squad
You'd think with the emhus-|
ijasm and determination they'd
be like this, tight,” and he
clenched his hands to demonst
rate. ‘“‘But they’re in the right,

good athletes are.

| selves. Something about this
| bunch reminds me of our 1854
f team (and that might have
ibeen Auburn's greatest at the
lend of the season). They've
| got what it takes to win.”
{ ACTUALLY, this whole
| Auburn place has it. Laster,
{who plaved and lost to Billy
iLothridge of Gainesville, Ga,,
{ in high school (“He always beai
|us in football”) recognizes the
}Tech test as the toughest yet
| for the 1962 Auburn footbail
iteam. His teammates do, too.
| But there's a suspicion that
this can be played the other
!way. vice-versa.
