•'Hunting is an essential part of the total American way of life,
ild game must be properly managed and harvested. As
eust-mm of the Nation’s wildlife, the landowner has an obligation

future of public hunting in America.” —Owingsville (Ky.) News-

Braves’ V-P Cites Baseball
As Great Tourist Attraction
BY 808 GREER
Tom Reynolds, Jr., Executive
Vice-President of the Milwaukee
and Atlanta Braves, stressed the
importance of a major league
baseball franchise as a flourish
ing tourist attraction in a speech
at the sth Annual Governor’s
Conference on Tourism at The
Parliament House in Atlanta
Monday.
Introduced by Georgia’s own
Fran Tarkenton, former All-SEC
quarterback on the University of
Georgia Championship team of
1959 and now the field general
of the Minnesota Vikings, the
Braves’ executive traced the his
tory of his organization’s entry
into major league baseball and
the Milwaukee franchise in part
icular. ‘‘Actually I was looking
forward to seeing the team in
Atlanta many years ago,” he
stated. “ Our tea mis a contender
and we will be quite an attraction
in the Southeast,” he added.
Mr. Reynolds quoted figures
from recent surveys made in
three different major league lo
calities to emphasize his point of
the tourist’s dollars spent in and
around Atlanta during the base
ball season. “Os course, pro
motion and public relations play
an important part in the team’s
success,” he said. “We don’t
expect something for nothing.”
“In a survey at Milwaukee in
1962-63 we found that over 50^

We had hoped to get a line on Alabama high school basketball
Friday evening when the Evergreen High team came here to meet
our State Champion Rams. However, this was one year when this
particular Alabama team didn’t have it. They had won onlj w
games this year after a 20-5 season two years ago.
After watching Tennessee and South Carolina teams battle our
Newton County boys in past years, we were hoping that the game
here last week would be close. The affair did draw a full house
of spectators and had a fine girls game as an added attraction
Newton and Jackson High.
Next year? We would like to see the Rams take a trip to either
North Carolina or Florida for at least two tilts against top-flight
competition. Maybe some of our backers of the Rams around
town could pool their “gifts” and let our boys take such a trip. We
know that Coach Bradley would like it and the games would give
his team a chance to prove Its true ability!

The four teams of the Gator Bowl basketball tournament have
been chosen for next December. They are Penn State, Florida,
DePaul and Alabama . . . Atlanta stadium Authority members
are dickering for the Georgia-Alabama game to be moved there
next September. Personally, we can’t see Georgia moving the game
out of Athens as it is one of the better home attractions listed for
Coach Vince Dooley’s team next fall . . • Charles Smith treated
the Ram team to a meal and the Auburn-Georgia game Saturday
night at Athens.
♦♦ ♦ ♦
The Rams journeyed over to Athens Saturday night to see the
Bulldogs edge Auburn 62-60 and give Coach Rex Frederick his
first victory since taking over for the ill Red Lawson . . . Ever
green (Ala.) Coach John Robinson said that the classification
for schools in athletes in Alabama is according to the number
of male students in each school. Alabama does not have girls
basketball, and one of the comments he made here was ‘ q don’t
see how they can be that accurate from the field and free throw
line.’’ . - .

Francisco, after a concerted
drive in Oregon and Washington
and northern California, it was
found that their out-of-town fans
increased from 20% to 63% from
1961 to 1963.”
Mr. Reynolds told the Tourism
Conference members that people
engaged in transportation, lodg
ing, restaurants, chambers of
commerce and sports are the life
of the baseball business.
During his speech Mr. Rey
nolds observed that this (1965)
will be a “difficult year for the
Braves.”
The Atlanta Braves will have
a speaker’s bureau lined up for
next year and will include John
McHale, Bill Bartholomay and
Reynolds himself. They will be
available at no cost to clubs for
speaking engagements and pro
grams all over Georgia.
He said that “Bill Veeck is a
tremendous salesman.”
He ended his speech with these
words, “Someone has said that
the last half of this century be
longs to The South. We of the
Braves are happy to be a part
of that philosophy.”
And, last but not least, Mr.
Reynolds is the father of nine
children. And as Fran Tarken

will soon have his own baseball
team.”

Rams Trim Evergreen 94-37;
Newton Girls Post 20th Win
( « r S R .r> Wayn. Hall Handle* Ball
The Newton Rams turned back the Evergreen (Alabama) High
School “Aggies” here Friday night by the lopsided score of 94-37.
During the weekend the NCHS girls team achieved another goal this
year, that of winning 20 games again for Coach Stone Cooper.
Zipping the nets for 66 points
here Friday night in the first
game of the packed house double
header over Jackson High, the
sextet of Coach Cooper looked
extremely sharp and determined
to make a super effort for a State
A A berth in the upcoming tourna
ments. The score of the tilt here
was 66-37 and then the two girls
teams went to Jackson on Satur
day night and the NCHS combine
won that game 62-46 for their 20th
victory of the season against five
losses.
Coach Ronald Bradley’s boys
built up a quick 22-2 score in the
first quarter against the smaller
Alabamians. Coach John L. Ro
binson’s visitors got into per
sonal foul trouble early in the
game and wound up the tilt being
charged with 31 personals. Many
local fans thought the game might
have been closer had the Ever
green team been able to hit from
outside. Most of their field goals
were from close range.
Newton’s incomparable Tim
Christian again led the way for
the local Newton High team with
32 points in about three quarters
of action. Christian had 10 field
goals, many on driving layups,
and 12 free throws. Stanley
Harris and J. W. Rutledge had
16 points each.
In the return engagement with
Jackson Saturday night on the
Butts County court, Carly Maloy
sank a total of 29 markers. Pat
Floyd had 24. Guard Donna
Dooley had 11 rebounds and 6
regained possessions in the Jack
son encounter.
Friday night, February 12 the
Newton teams will end the re
gular season schedule with tilts
at Tucker, a Sub-Region foe.
Game time for the gals clash is
set for 7 p. m. at Tucker’s new
gymnasium.
Rams (94): Rutledge 16, Hin
ton 1, Christian 32, Hall 6, Har
ris 16, Bloodworth 4, Richardson

Evergreen (Ala.) High (37):

The longest home-in-one carded in America was the one blasted
by Lou Kretlow, a 427-yard ace. Wouldn’t you just know that he
would be a former baseball player turned golfer! . . .Cotton Nash,
former All-American at the University of Kentucky, was released by
the Los Angeles Lakers. Nash wanted to know how he could help the
team by sitting on the bench ... The 160 total points scored by the
NCHS teams (girls and boys) Friday night here, must be a record in
that respect. The Girls zipped in 66 points and the Rams scored 94.

THE BIG “BOX”
A bass fisherman’s tackle box
is never big enough.
One midwestern angler, fed
up with the inadequacies of
’store-bought” versions, has de
signed what he feels is the
answer. Still in the drawing
board stage, it resembles a large
doghouse mounted on its own
hull — it’s towed along behind
the fishing skiff, bobbing like a
floating mobile home.
Well, that’s one way to get
plenty of space for gear. But
there’s another.
When buying a tackle box,
whether it be the first or one in
a succession, get the largest and
best on the market. This advice
comes from the fishing experts
at Mercury outboards who have
long noted the inevitable "mov
ing up" that occurs when a guy
starts out with one of common
shoe box dimensions.
The ideal length of a box is
from 17 to 20 inches. It should
contain at least five or six com
partmentalized trays that swing
out when the top is opened. Cork
linings in the trays are a nice
touch, but their protective value
may be overshadowed by a ten
dency to soak up and hold
moisture.
The most practical boxes today
are made of either aluminum or
tough plastics. Other materials,
particularly steel, are too heavy
in boxes of the larger sizes.
Wood, favored by those who can
afford the tab. has traditional
beauty but is quite heavy; wood
boxes are best when left as show
pieces in the den.
An important feature to check
is the manner in which the lid
is flitted. It is absolutely es
sential that the top be water
tight. Make certain the latching
device is strong and snaps se
curely; spilled contents can spell
disaster.
Granted, the old pro generally
manages to outgrow even the
largest of tackle boxes in time.
But even the average guy will
run through a batch of smaller
ones in a few years.
So start out with a decent box
— it’ll last longer, give greater
protection to expensive gear,
and cost less in the long run. It
really pays off on those days
when the bass respond only to
the "odd balls,” those lures
everyone else had to leave at
home.
