Braves May Get New Manager Soon
Much has been written and is being written, and said, about a
possible change in the field managership of the Atlanta Braves.
And, mind you, this has come about in only two months of Big
League baseball in Atlanta.
Whether or not it is the team personnel, the manager, the failure
of the owners to make a really big trade or two during the winter,
no one seems to know. Everyone believes however, that the Braves
are better than an eighth place team in the present National League.
The name of Paul Richards, a magician in the game of baseball
in Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago. Baltimore and Houston, has now ar
rived on the scene in Atlanta. Could it be that an overnight change
in field managers is in the offing? Manager Bobby Bragan may be
on his way out; and in my opinion, Richards could be the next Brave
manager.

When teams in the National League are scoring an earned run off
Sandy Koufax, they are accomplishing quite a feat. He has led the
National loop for the past four years in the ERA department. . .Jack
Hurst, former Georgia Tech play-by-play football announcer, will
be the Atlanta Falcon announcer for radio this fall. He’s now with
WQXI in Atlanta. . .According to the Ga. Tech football schedule and
the Atlanta Braves, they each will be playing in Atlanta on Sept 17.
The Braves will meet Cincinnati and Tech will entertain Texas A & M.
The Atlanta Braves will be on the road until July 14 when the
Houston Astros invade the Atlanta Stadium. . .Luck is the idol of
the idle (selected quote). . .Ken Harrelsen, now with the Washington
Senators baseball club, is one of the most talented baseball-golf
athletes to come out of Georgia. He says he was scouted by base
ball ivory hunters when he was 12 years old. . .Monday, August 8
is the initial day of football practice for the 1966 Newton County
Rams, so says Coach Milton McLaney.

3 LOCAL PLAYERS ENTER
GEORGIA STATE MEET
Three Covington boys are en
tered in the Georgia State Jun
ior Open Tournament attheßltsy
Grant Tennis Center in Atlanta
this week. They are: Billy
Dobbs, Gil Gainer and Michael
Purcell.
This Is one of the largest jun-
tattered dispositions are usually
considerable. Here, then, are a
few timely reminders on how to
enjoy an outdoor vacation without
really trying:
THE BEACH--Court sunburn
gradually: no more than 15 minu
tes the first day. Don’t befooled
by overcast; it can mask but not
defuse a murderous sun.
THE WATER—Don’t be a hero.
Don’t swim alone, venture out too
far, or dive without making sure
the water is as deep as it looks.
If you’re tired, overheated, or
recently fed it’s a wonderful time
to stay out.
SPORTS--Exercise is great,
but before playing those extra
innings, holes or sets think how
your muscles may hate you in the
morning. Watch that midday
temperature; convalescing from
heat stroke in a summer hotel
is poor economics.
NATURE—The city slicker
seldom recognizes poison plants
until they’ve recognized him.
"Leaves three, let it be” is a
handy rule that applies to poison
ivy and oak.
THE ROAD — Summer is
literally the hangup season for
highway accidents. Shield your
eyes from sun and your mind
from impatient haste. If you drink
let someone else do the driving,
and vice versa.

Top Coaches To
Direct All-Star
Teams July 9
The lineup of college coaches
for the Coaches’ All-America
Game at Atlanta Stadium on Sat
urday evening, July 9, may prove
to be more interesting than the
array of talent chosen for both
the East and West squads.
Directing the East team will
be Michigan State’s Duffy Daugh
erty and his assistants will be
Doug Dickey of Tennessee, and
Earle Edwards of North Carolina
State. At the helm of the West
twinkle outfit will be Tommy
Prothro of UCLA. His assis
tants are Frank Broyles of Ar
kansas, and Bob Devaney of Ne
braska.
It may be a coincidence that
only some six months ago (on
January 1) in the Rose Bowl at
Pasadena both head coaches lock
ed horns in a battle of defense
for three quarters. The UCLA
team handed the Spartans their
only defeat of the year in that
clash.
Heading the list of All-Ameri
can players of 1965 selected for
the game July 9 are Donny An
derson of Texas Tech, the high
est priced college player to sign
a Pro contract ($600,000),
Tommy Nobis and Randy Johnson
of the Atlanta Falcons, Mike
Garrett of Southern California,
Steve Sloan of Alabama, Charles
Casey of Florida, and many
others.

game may be purchased by writ
