Although Georgia Tech has had a very good year as an inde
pendent basketball team in the South, the at-large team to the
NCAA tournament may be Florida State . . . Stan Harris has
joined Tim Christian in the Top 25 basketball players in the state.
Tim was 3rd last week and Stan was listed as 23rd .. . Eddie
Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves is the only member of the team
who may make two moves in his major league career. He came
to the Suds City from Boston and next year will come to Atlanta.
The Gator Bowl football game, tentatively set for January 1,
has been moved up one day to December 31. This will be on
Friday . . . Georgia basketball Coach Harbin (Red) Lawson has been
granted a leave of absence for the remainder of the cage season.
Rex Frederick will take over the reins for the rest of the year ...
Many local cage fans have inquired about the State Class AA tourney
and the number of teams to be entered. Wwell, the boys will have
four from each region and the girls two. No doubt, someone is
trying to help the Atlanta newspapers kill girls basketball in the
State of Georgia!
It may be worth noting that Tennessee outdrew the Kentucky
wildcats in their recent basketball games at the Georgia Coliseum
in Athens, 6,500 to 6,200 . . . All that squawking that the coaches
and sports writers in the SEC have been doing about the repeal of
the 140 athletic scholarship grants was ignored again this year by
those persons who govern the SEC . .. Carlyn Maloy ‘‘passed out”
in the Newton-Baldwin County game Friday and was takentoa
local hospital for treatment.
The small college basketball warld got a big shock Saturday
night when Georgia Southern scored 102 points on Coach Garland
Pinholster’s Oglethorpe University team. The score was 102-82
. . . Official name of the new stadium in Atlanta is the ‘‘Atlanta
Stadium?’, which was announced Saturday night . . .

their apprehensive moments in
the fourth quarter when Stanley
Harris and Tim Christian both
fouled out of the fray. The Rams
were leading by eight points and
it was at this juncture that J, W,
Rutledge and Wayne Hall, aided
by Eddie Hinton, Gary Blood
worth and Bob Richardson show
ed the Clarkston team the mean=
ing of a ‘¢discipline situation.”
Rutledge played the best game
of his career and scored 12
points. Hall also had 12 points
and each of these boys handled
the game masterfully inthe clos=-
ing minutes of action.
Coach Bradley said after the
tussle ‘“we won with the same
old thing. Our boys refused to
be beaten with our two stars
(Harris and Christian) on the
bench.”
In the girls game, it should
not be overlooked that guard
Amelia Spillers had one of her
better games. She stole the ball
repeatedly and brought down
many vital rebounds in the last
half.
The Rams ability to cash=-in
their free throws had a bearing
on the victory. Twenty-four of
the Ram points were from the
charity stripe.

Olympies May Aid Heart Research
University of Wisconsin Prof. Dr. Bruno
Balke suggests that heart research may get
a bonus from the 1968 Olympic Games at
Mexico City.
The Journal of the American Medical
Association says Dr. Balke cited experi
ments which indicated that athletes from
lower altitudes will need about ten days to
get used to Mexico City’s atmosphere, more
than a mile above sea level.
He said that four out of five athletes who
took part in high altitude experiments
showed improved work capacity when they
returned to lower altitudes.

“Almost all subjects reached a higher
maximal heart frequency than observed in
any of the previous tests, and all subjects
maintained the high pulmonary ventilation
noticed at high altitude,” he said. *Blood
pressures, on the other hand, remained un
changed.”
Dr. Balke said that more important than
the athletic experiments “might be the gen
eral medical implication of experimental
work on the value of moderate altitudes,
possibly in combination with proper activity,
in the battle against the greatest Killer of
modern times, coronary heart disease.”
