Less than two weeks after Sports Illustrated published their Top 10
teams for 1967, six of the 10 had their records blotted. Losing or
tieing were: Miami (Fla.), Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Michigan
State and Arkansas. . .Georgia Bulldogger Dennis Hughes has an
added incentive going for him this fall. He is from the same home
town as Jimmy Orr of the Baltimore Colts (Seneca, S. C.).. .Ed
Forio, speaking at the Covington Kiwanis Club Thursday, said that
the three TV networks are paying about SIOO-million for rights to
the gridiron games this fall (college and pro).
Someone commented last Saturday that they were going to Atlanta
to see Texas Christian University meet Georgia Tech. A youngster
spoke up and said, “I would like to go and see Tim Christian Uni
versity play Georgia Tech today’. . .Hunting and fishing are the most
popular of all recreational activities, according toDr.Robert Bowen.
They also have an economic impact. Toillustrate, Dave Almand, ex
tension wildlife specialist, estimates that last year Georgians spent
$2.7 million just for the shells they used in shooting 3.8 million doves.
The Cousins’ Wolverines shouldn’t feel too bad about not beating
the Carver High team of Monroe. Carver remains unbeaten and
unscored on in five games this season.. .We were noting only last
week that of the 11 lettermen returning for the Ram team this
season, five of those 11 are not members of the NCHS team as of
September 29. Injuries to some of the players and some quitting
has left Coach Fisher with a slim squad to work with. . .Gary Steele,
grandson of the Zed Steeles of Covington, has been Red-shirted by
Georgia Tech this season. Gary is being used at end and the Jackets
had an over-supply of ends this year; so Gary was held out.

the score would be Green Bay 51, Atlanta 10. . .Larry Callaway, a

Saturday when Clemson invades

Yellow Jacket Scouts came
back duly impressed by Frank
Howard’s Tigers who extended
the nationally ranked Georgia
Bulldogs to the hilt before bow
ing 24-17.
Defensive linebacker Randall
Edmunds, defensive end Tommy
Carlisle and offensive guard Rick
Nelson drew praise from Carson
after the Jacket Coach had re
viewed films of Tech’s 24-7 de
feat of T.C.U.
Edmunds played a game re
miniscent of former Tech All-
America linebackers Maxie Bau
ghan and George and Larry Mor
ris. Edmunds was credited by
the coaches with 23 tackles, just
one short of Larry Morris’ sc
hool record.
Carlisle blocked a punt and
personally halted a T.C.U. dri
ve when he threw the Frogs for
consecutive losses of eight and
12 yards. Nelson was awarded
the “Super Sow’’ Award, sym
bolic of Tech’s outstanding bl
ocking lineman in each game.

Leo Garibaldi, the famous re
feree, and Louie Tillett will meet
the team of El Mongol and his
manager, Dandy Jack. In other
matches of the evening Oki Yama
vs. Rick Hunter, and Marlo Ga
lento will wrestle Ike Eakins.
In last week’s action Louis
Tillett met El Mongol In a re
turn engagement.
It was a wild one again Sat
urday night. You can always
expect something when Dandy
Jack is in El Mongol’s corner.
In the first fall they were both
battling like brutes. At one time
Louie was bleeding, but he is not
one to give up. When he started
giving El Mongol the same trea
tment, Dandy Jack tried to say
something to the referee. That’s
all that Louie THlet needed to
sneak the Pile Driver and pin
El Mongol.
In the second fall El Mongol
collided with Leo Garibaldi, the
referee, when Louie tried to
throw him in the ropes. Both
went down and Louie covered
El Mongol. But, Dandy Jack
jumped in the ring and hit Louie
T’.llet with his cane and rolled
him on his back and put El Mon
gol on top of him. Dandy Jack
and Ed Mongol turned on the
referee for disqualifying El Mon
gol.
Alex Perez vs Wonder Boy
Bobby Shane and Shane thrilled
everybody by beating Alex with
his rolling Short Arm Scissor.
Rubberman Walker vs Rick
Hunter was the final bout. It
was a real pleasure to watch
these two wrestle. It looked
like it was going to be a draw.
Rick Hunter surprised every
body and his opponent with a
Drop Kick and covered him.
Ike Eakins met Bob Nandor
and Big Ike was the winner.

He and offensive backfield

on the things which Ronnie didn’t
do well. “That was about every

to hold the ball, I was a terrible

on an end sweep. The touch
down came on a fourth down
used to hard work all my life,
working on a farm and with my
father’s crew, and that has made
football fun for me. I don’t mind
practicing, but the greatest thing
of all is the games. That is the

ever had—to go down Into San

people yelling and have a good
afternoon of work on the football
field.”

“I know I can’t break away for
long gains, but I really love to
hear the quarterback call my
number when we’ve got to have
a few yards and the situation is
real tough. That Is a great ch
