Tech Sets 2 Records In
Rout Os Texas A&M, 38-3
ATLANTA (SPECIAL) — If
there was any doubt in anyone’s
mind that Georgia Tech's Lenny
Snow is one of the nation’s great
backs it has dispelled here Sat
urday. The “still not well”
Yellow Jacket tailback, who had
only been in pads three days
following a ten-day layoff with
injuries, romped for 113 yards
and three touchdowns in pacing
the Jackets past always tough
defensively Texas a&M 38-3.
Coach Bobby Dodd said after
the game that he didn't know
what pleased him the most, the
fine blocking of the offensive
line paced by seniors Bill Moor
er and Jim Breland, or the ten
acious play of the defensive unit
with W. J. Blane, Tommy Car
lisle and Sammy Burke leading
the way.
A check of the record books
shows the Yellow Jackets 28 first
downs and 89 offensive plays are
new Georgia Tech records, and
the 89 total yards given up by
the defense was the lowest total
since Florida was held to 32
yards in the rain in 1963.
It was a most interesting af
ternoon, statistically and in every’
way, for Georgia Tech followers.
The Yellow Jackets will be
home again next Saturday to face
the Vanderbilt Commodores,
Vandy defeated Citadel 24-0 in
its season opener.

dian Reservation will be able to
enjoy and additional two months
of trout fishing again this year.
Last year’s September and Oct

popular with their guests that

make it an annual attraction.
This is a family orientated
program. Choice of natural or
artificial bait is left to the fisher
man. Adult fishermen are re
quired to purchase a SI.OO dally
tribal fishing permit. Free daily
permits are issued to fishermen
under 12 years old. Museums,
craft shops, motels, camp
grounds and other tourist attract

mountain scenery, both on the
Cherokee Reservation and on the
adjacent Smoky Mountains Na

Rams Meet Franklin County Co. Friday
Both combatants on Sharp Field in Covington Friday night put
the foot into the football and after the final whistle sounded the
Baldwin County Braves won the battle 7-0 over the Newton County
Rams. The Rams and Braves each kicked eight times in the Region
Baa encounter.
The average per punt favored
the visitors as Jimmy Dillard
of Baldwin booted the ball eight
times for a total of 313 yards,
or an average of 39 yards per
thump. Alvin Whisnante of the
Rams had an average of 32 on
his kicks. In fact, it was one
of the long punts by the Braves
that provided the break for their
victory. They recovered one on
the NCHS 11 and went on in to
score. A David Rogers pass to
Van Herrin scored the TD from
the 9.
Friday night on Sharp Field
the Rams and Franklin County
will meet to see who takes over
the cellar position in Region
Baa. At present time both are
on the bottom with 0-2 records
in regional efforts. Last week
the Franklin team downed East
Hall 33-7. Kick-off time is 8
o’clock for the Covington game.
Newton ends Lee Durden and
Eddie Hinton recovered fumbles
during the fray to help the NCHS
cause. Durden pounced on his at
the local 24-yard stripe in the
second quarter, while Hinton
scooped up a fumbled punt in the
third quarter near midfield.
The fartherest advance by the
NCHS eleven came in the second
period when the forces of Coach

RAM NOTES:
Matt Crowell got to see the

A very good crowd came out to
see the Region BAA game Friaay.
Newton’s side of the field was
practically filled to capacity.
Baldwin, however, did not bring
many fans to the game.
** • •
Almost every years one can
expect a field goal try by the
Baldwin team. Last year with
the score 12-10 against them
they attempted one from their
own 47 yard line. And, that was
a 63-yard try. This year the
Braves attempted one from the
26-yard strip. It was wide.
Trophy Care
The fish that makes it to an
honored spot in a sportsman’s
den is the object of both affect
ion and pride, but also reflects
a degree of loving care as welL
The trip between net and the
taxidermists mounting board is
a hazardous one for trophy fish,
warn the fishing experts at Mer
cury outboards. As a result,
they add, a great many prizes end
up in the garbage can because of
improper handling. To reduce
such possibilities, they offer this
advice:
A fish that qualifies for the den
usually earns this honor by the
time he’s brought close to the
boat. At that point--before being
boated -- special care must com
mence.
Landing a trophy calls for pam
pering. Prevent overzealous use
of the gaff which can cause ir
reparable gashes. Bass netted
improperly can sustain serious
fin damage when bashed against
the hull.
Once in the boat, the fish must
be coddled further. To prevent
loss of scales it must not be
allowed to thrash around or be
dragged. Never permit it to
be exposed to direct sunlight,
even for a short photo session.
Wrap it in moist cloth or news
paper immediately and keep it wet
to prevent skin hardening and loss
of color.
The next step is to freeze the
fish for shipment to the taxider
mist. Dry ice is the best med
ium, though crushed ice replaced
at intervals will be satisfactory.
The other method of handling
trophies is to skin them and ship
the skin and fins preserved in
salt. This procedure is best left
up to a professional who can prove
he has experience in the working
ways of taxidermy. Otherwise,
obtain the instruction sheets of a
taxidermist to learn the intri
cacies of skinning and practice
on a few fish beforehand.
The key to transforming a re
luctant lunker into a handsome
“braggin’ piece’’ is to make this
decision before the fishing trip,
say the Mercry folks. Learn how
first, then observe the rules.
