Athletic Director Eaves has
completed three years at the helm
of Georgia athletics. He took
the position on November 22,
1963, coming from Auburn Uni
versity. Eaves’ first official act
of significance was to hire Co
ach Vince Dooley from Auburn’s
staff. Dooley has repaid Eaves
in a measure by taking three of
his four Bulldog teams to bowl
games. His 1964 team downed
Texas Tech 7-0, won over SMU
24-9, and lost to N. C. State last
December in the Liberty Bowl
14-7.
Magill is equally famous for his
part in athletics at Georgia as he
has headed the Sports Informat
ion department for many years.
He is also the tennis coach at the
University. Magill is one of the
better racket swingers (for his
age) in the South, and his son Ham
Magill, was one of the top ran
ked tennis performers in the
ly, but it helps.
Accurate casting probably
accounts for as many full
stringers as any other single
factor. During the summer
months, especially, fish are fat
and particular, and aren’t in
clined to grab Just any morsel
that happens their way.
Fish become lazy — even
spoiled, say the fishing ex
perts at Mercury outboards.
To interrupt this lethargy, it’s
necessary to serve up a lure
on a silver platter. In other
words, you must literally wave
it under his nose to make him
strike.
Obtaining sufficient casting
ability to entice a lunker out
of his cozy lair is simply a
matter of observing the follow
ing basic rules, and then apply
ing them with much practice:
Aim, back cast, forward cast,
stop.
These four steps, correctly
performed, are the secret to
casting. First, aim your rod
like you would a rifle and
concentrate on the target.
Using your elbow as a pivot,
bring the rod back smoothly,
and halt it when almost ver
tical. Then snap it forward
with a firm down stroke, apply
ing extra wrist power.
When the rod reaches a point
halfway between the vertical
and horizontal position, ease
oft with your thumb or finger
to permit the line to pay off.
When the lure approaches its
target, feather it to a stop.
Newton Teams Are
Invitational Champs
Both Newton County High School basketball teams won the local
Invitational titles here Saturday night. The Rams downed the Rock
dale County quint 55-47 in overtime and the girls of Coach Tom
Wortman beat the Henry County sextet 41-36.
For the home forces, it was
the NCHS girls 12th straight
Newton Invitational title, and for
Coach Ronald Bradley’s boys it
marked the 10th straight. In fact,
Bradley and Wortman have not
lost an invitational championship
since they were named mentors
at the school.
Richard Allen and Bubba Hill,
the latter a starting player Sat
urday night, vanned the scoring
for the Rams. Allen had 24
markers and Hill threw in 13.
Five of Hill’s points were the
first scored in the game. Mar
vin Dooley and Clyde Fore each
had 15 for their teams’ high of
the evening.
Coach Bradley stated Monday
that the overall play of his team
in the game was commendable.
The Rams lost the ball only three
times during the encounter.
“Anytime a team gives up the
ball on miscues only three times,
you are bound to play a fine
game,” Bradley commented.
In the rebounding department
Tony Moon and Terry Schell
each had 18.
Friday night Winder-Barrow
will visit the Rams in Covington.
