Tech's C¢g|:n
Had lour
Yule Holiday
The Georgla Tech basketball
team had a rough time over the
holidays, losing four games on
the road while winning the only
scheduled home contest.
Coach Whack Hyder found out
the first dayof Christmas ‘‘vaca=
tion” that Mick Stenftenagel, the
team’s number two scorer and
one of its most dependable all
around players, would be ineli
gible the rest of the season be
cause of academic difficulties.
From that moment, except for
a home-court 91-73 victory over
william and Mary, things seemed
to get progressively worse.
The Yellow Jackets kept things
close all the way in both games,
but lost in the Sugar Bowl Tour
nament at New Orleans to Louis=
ville 71-77 and to Texas Tech
90-95. The Jackets then stopped
by Atlanta only long enough to
change shirts before traveling to
Columbus, Ohio, where they lost
a regionally televised afternoon
contest to Ohio State 68-73.
Bright spot of the Holidays for
the basketball squad was the
OUTSTANDING PLAY of the Jac~
kets’ 6-10 center, Jim Caldwell.
Big Jim scored 109 points in the
five games for an average of
21.8 per contest and was credit
ed with 75 rebounds. In his
best game he got 35 points and
18 rebounds against agood Texas
Tech team. Jim has now scored
more rebounds than any player
in Georgia Tech history and has
fifteen more games to add to
his record total.
RECRUITING
The Georgia Tech football
coaches all report that they had
enjoyable Holidays, and perhaps
one of the reasons is that five
more outstanding athletes were
signed to Tech football grant
in-aids.
The new signees include Quart
erback Bobby McKinnon, 5-11,
180 of Broward High, Pompano
Beach, Fla,; End Rick Empson,
6-4, 192 of Stranahan High, Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.; Quarterback
David Stroyan, 6-0, 176 of Fer
guson High, New Port News, Va.;
Halfback Bobby Hollander, 5-11,

Fishin's Bright
The lights shimmering out
on the waters when fall
nights take on a degree of
crispness aren’t stars or fire
flies -- they're fishermen.
Folks who do their fishing
during the dark hours enjoy
a wholly different experi
ence . . . and they usually
catch fish, too.
A bright light shining on
the water attracts schools of
minnows, explain the fishing
authorities at Mercury out
boards, and this abundant
food supply in turn attracts
hungry game fish. The re
quirements for this wype of
night fishing are few, they
say, offering these sugges
tions:
Lighting equipment con
sists of a gas or Dbattery
lantern, a reflector, and some
type of holder to attach it
to the boat. An anchor, pre
ferably two for fore and
aft, and a dip net are also
necessary gear.
Fish in deep water, as a
rule. Use a light weight, af
fix a minnow above and drop
down to the bottom under
the light. Keep the bait mov
ing by jigging up and down.
Lantern fishermen have a
tendency to congregate in
one place, and tie their boats
together for companionship
and a greater concentration
of light. With comfortable
deck chairs, a vacuum bottle
of hot coffee and, perhaps, a
radio, they’re equipped 0
make a real night of it on the
lake.
Crappie and white bass are
the most susceptible species
to this type of fishing, add
the Mercury people, but oc
casional catches of large
mouth, walleye and even
trout are sometimes seen.
Remember, take only the
fish you wish to eat. Clean
ing a mess when you’re tired
and sleepy is an unpleasant
chore at best. Release those
you can’t use.

Rams Take Overtime Win
Rams Meet Tucker Here Friday
In 4AA Sub-Region Encounter
The Rams pulled a game outof
the fire at Blue Ridge, Ga. on
Wednesday, Dec. 30 defeating
Copper Basin, Tennessee by a
score of 50«48 in overtime. On
the same night host West Fannin
edged Hart County 61-59.
Newton's 20-game winning
streak was in dire danger as
the Rams tied the count at 45-45
with an after-the-whistle free
throw by Tim Christian and then
won the game on five points
by Christian in overtime.
Christian was fouled just as
the final buzzer sounded, then
stepped to the foul line and sank
a pressurized shot which sent the
game into overtime. He then
added three more charity tosses
and a fleld goal to sew up the
victory.
Copper Basin likewise was un=-
beaten, going into the game with
a 14-0 record. Newton’s now
is 13-0 for the season.
Christian wound up with 14
points, high for Newton. Stan
Harris and Wayne Hall had 11
apiece and Jeff Hinton 10. Cop
per Basin’s 6-9 center, Larry
Cantrell, scored 20.
The consolation game also was
a cliffhanger all the way. Doug
Burdette and Billy Kidd poured
in 24 and 23 points for Hart
and Malcolm Holden had 21 for
West Fannin.
Saturday night the Rams won
their 80th straight game on the
NCHS gymnasium floor by down
ing Social Circle 79-52.
Stanley Harris zipped the nets
for a total of 24 points, his high
mark for the season. Newton led
at halftime 29-31, but Harris be
gan his surge in the second and
third periods to pull the game out.
Ronnie Flowers of Social Circle
had 23 markers to lead his team
in the scoring department.
The Newton girls team wal
loped the Rockdale County sextet
63-19 for the seventh victory
of the year for Coach Stone
Cooper’s team.
Next week two big games will
be on the Rams schedule—Tuck
er here Friday night and Central
Gwinnett at Lawrenceville next
Tuesday. Saturday night the
NCHS teams will journey over to
Morgan County for a twinbill.

Florida State University is known for its aerialcircus as a regular
classroom subject, But, the football team representing FSU put on a
«guper=-circus” in the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville Saturday as their
football team trimmed the Oklahoma Sooners 36-19 inthe 20th classic
at Jacksonville,
Quarterback Steve Tensi and flanker back Fred Biletnikoff smashed
all passing records for the Gator Bowl crowd of 50,408, Tensi com=
pleted 23 out of 36 passes for 303 yards and five touchdowns, all of
them bowl records, while Biletnikoff caught 13 passes for 192 yards
and four touchdowns. No other player ever scored 24 points in the
Jacksonville football contest,
xR
Georgia Tech played two fine games in the recent Sugar Bowl
basketball tourney at New Orleans. However, they lost both tilts
by close scores, to Louisville 77-71 and Texas Tech 95-90. Both
were on TV via the Atlanta outlet with Ed Thilenius as the play
by-play announcer . . . The Rams’ Stanley Harris had one of his
best games against -Soclal Circle Saturday night. He scored 24
points and sank 10 straight free throws in the encounter. Against
the tall Copper Basin (Tenn.) boys the week before Stan had 11
rebounds to lead the team in that department.
The swan’s graceful neck has 20 bones, reports Emory Uni
versity . . . It's better to have money in the bank and be called a
miser, than to be broke and called a bum ... Men always go to
bat for girls with good curves . . . Gary Bloodworth will probably
return to the Ram squad this week. His automobile wreck injuries
sustained in November have come around very well, Coach Ronald
Bradley reports. .
Most disappointing crowd at the bowl games this past week was
at New Orleans in the Sugar Bowl affair. One press service stated
that 50,000 fans were present, although the number of tickets
sold was announced at 65,000, far below the bowl’s seating capacity
. . . Tulane’s decision to pull out of the Southeastern Conference
created very little news over the weekend. This leaves 10 teams
in the SEC . . . The Georgia Bulldogs have offered to forfeit the
7 games won this past season because tackle Jim Wilson played
during the season after he had signed a pro contract last fall.
Apparently none of the teams beaten will accept the forfeits, however.
The three Tarkenton boys, all athletes of note, were home for
the holidays with their parents Dr. and Mrs. Dallas M, Tarkenton
at Oxford, Francis, Dallas and Wendell are the Tarkentons’ sons.
Fran left Sunday by plane for the pro bowl game at Los Angeles . + «
Grady Campbell, one of the two starting guards on Coach Ronald
Bradley’s Ram team last season, made straight A’s at Emory-
Oxford College for the Fall Quarter. Only one other student made
that honor with Grady. And, by the way Sherry Campbell, older
brother of Grady, is a student at Emory. He wasa member of
the NCHS Rams cage team in 1954-55.
Look for an outstanding bowl game at the new Atlanta Stadium
early next December. Seating for 57,000 fans await the first
attraction next fall in the new bowl-shaped field ... The Rams
have a habit of jerking at least two games out of the fire of defeat
in a season of play. So, look out for another of those Ram-~Copper
Basin type affairs before this season is over ... Georgia will host
two of the SEC’s best in successive Monday nights at The Coliseum
in Athens. Jan. 11 Vanderbilt and Mon. Jan. 18 Tennessee will
arrive for tilts. :
A familiar face we saw at the Gator Bowl last Saturday was
that of Roger Simmons of Hamlet, North Carolina. He formerly
was managing editor of The Madisonian at Madison, back when
the late Belmont Dennis owned that newspaper . .. No doubt, the
two top performers in any bowl game this season was Steve Tensi
and Fred Biletnikoff in the Gator classic at Jacksonville. They
broke just about every record in the book on scoring TDs, passes
thrown and passes completed and yards gained . ..Only four high
school bands were invited to pre-game bowl activities at Jacksonville
this year, and they appeared on the field starting at 1 p. m.
tpfter you pass middle age it seems that anything of interest
is either ‘‘fattening, immoral or illegal.” (Quoted anonymously) . . .
Then there was the New England school teacher in Dallas who was
bragging about their heroes. She mentioned Paul Revere. A tall,
thin Texan saild ‘‘Lady, you mean that fellow who had to ride for
help?” « o
