gill showed a color film of the
1967 Bulldog games and nar
rated the action in each game.
Mr. Callaway, Jerry Bray and
James Hutchins also had promi
nent parts on the program. Cal
laway told the club members that
plans are being made to charter
a Southeastern Stages bus for
trips to Knoxville, Tenn., Auburn,
Ala. and to the games at Athens.
Bray headed the nominating
committee and he made the re
commendation that the present
slate of officers be elected for
the coming year. Hutchins pre
sented gifts to the visiting Geor
gia representatives, AD Eaves
and PD Magill.
Eaves reviewed the past year
in all University of Georgia athle-
tics and he told the local club
members of the prospects for the
coming year. At the conclusion of
his speech, he answered quest
ions from various members.
He explained that the 1967
team was under some terrific
pressure because of the pre
season ratings. "They didn’t
take into consideration that each
campaign starts each September
and the war really begins then
for the team of that coming sea
son,’’ he related. On future sc
hedules of the Bulldogs he told
the local people that "we have
only two dates now open on our
schedules through 1979." He ex
plained that these schedules are
made in advance or "you may be
left out.”
He explained the ticket situat
ion at Athens’ new Sanford Sta
dium and also explained the Geor
gia-Florida game situation at
Jacksonville. "As to where fu
ture games for the Florida-Geor
gia game, it rests with Athletic
Director and Coach Ray Graves
of Florida. We have stated our
position on the seat location and
program concession at Jackson
ville," he added.
In recruiting this year he said
that QB Charles Dudish of Avon
dale holds the key to that posi
tion for coach Vince Dooley. If
he doesn’t sign, then several
others are under consideration,
Mr. Eaves commented.

Rutledge Hatchery Renovation Planned
Senator Brooks Pennington of
Madison, Chairman of the Senate
Agricultural and Natural Resou
rce Committee, and Georgia
Game and Fish Commission Di
rector George T. Bagby announ
ced that the Commission’s fish
hatchery in Walton County near
Rutledge will undergo extensive
renovation beginning immediate
ly-
Some of the work is to be done
mostly by Commission em
ployees with Commission equip
ment, at a cost of approximately
$30,000. Mr. Bagby said that the
lowest bid received for the job
was $65,000; and since the Com
mission is able to do the job
for about half that, the bid was
not let.
Walton Hatchery was built se
veral years ago, Bagby said, ata
time when there was limited
knowledge about what a hatchery
needed. The source of water was
not piped to the proper place, and
pond bottoms were mud with no
concrete catch basins. A large
percentage of fish were lost when
seining them in the mud bottoms.
Further, he said, dams were
not constructed with the proper
slope and width, and several dams
broke. Others are in such condi
tion that it is not possible to mow
and maintain the dams as they
should be.
The hatchery is fed by a large
spring at the upper end of the
property, which furnishes more
water than necessary for existing
pond acreage. This eliminates
the need for surface water and
pumping in supplying water for
the hatchery.
About 75 per cent of the ponds
are on the north side of U. S.
278 Ihghway, just west of Rut
ledge. Six other ponds are on
the south side of the highway.
Ponds on the south side have
already been renovated some, and
catch basins installed.
Two main dikes will be built
down the center of the hatchery
for the spring, and individual
ponds will be built on each side
of the dikes with concrete catch
basins. Also, the water supply
will be piped directly to the kett
les to keep fish alive during dra
ining operations.
All ponds will be built on the
same level. It is expected that
some 45,000 cubic yards of dirt
will need to be moved. Some lo
cal equipment operators and tr
uck drivers may be hired, but
most of the work will be done
by Commission personnel.
Walton Hatchery has been used
in the past primarily for bass,
bream and channel catfish pro
pagation. In the future, it is
possible some striped bass may
