Dooley's sth Georgia Football Team In 1968
Expected To Be Another Rugged, Winning Team
Vince Dooley's fifth University
of Georgia football team in 1968
is expected to be another strong
outfit capable of beating any foe
on its extremely tough schedule:
Tennessee, Clemson, South
Carolina, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt,
Kentucky, Houston, Florida, Au
burn and Georgia Tech.
Coach Dooley and his staff,
however, do face a big rebuild
ing job replacing 11 departing
seniors who were the backbone
of Georgia’s last two power
houses: 1966 SEC champions,
9-1 in regular season play and
winner over S.M.U. in the Cot
ton, and 1967, 7-3 in regular
season play and loser to N. C.
State in the Liberty Bowl.
There is a big hole to fill

Here is an interesting sidelight oi Masters Golf play at Augusta.
Gary Player has registered rounds of 69 or under on 16 of his

athlete) is listed in spring drills as a fullback-linebacker by the
University of Georgia publicity department. Callaway is 5-11
and weighs 180 .. . Grady Rowell, our baseball expert from Daytona
Beach, Fla., says that the Braves definitely must have some
hitting and a lot more pitching to challenge for the 1968 pennant.
Houston Astros Manager Grady Hatton and Alabama’s Bear
Bryant sound alike over the radio. Both gruff voices ... The
top winner among race horses was Kelso, who earned $1,977,000
. . . Harry Caray, the St. Louis Cardinals baseball announcer,
over the radio sounds as if he needs a dose of bicarbonate of
soda . . . And, won’t you agree that Senator Everett Dirksen looks
like he has just escaped death in the electric chair?
Arnold Palmer continues to lead the money-winners in pro
fessional golf. Billy Casper, the recently-turned Mormon, is in
second place . . . Who do the baseball players themselves pick
for the 1968 pennants? Well, Sport Magazine has reported that
500 players who were polled pick the St. Louis Cardinals and the
Minnesota Twins. Atlanta was chosen fifth ... In another announce

Nobis and Dick Butkus as the best linebacker in the National Football

The Newton County Ram baseball team played championship
ball Monday on Legion Field as Coach Ronald Bradley’s team
downed the visiting Region BAA foe South Hall 2-0 behind the ex
cellent hurling of sophomore Chan McDougald. Also playing an
important part in the victory was third-sacker Ronnie Aiken who
had two for three at the plate and batted in the first run of the
game, and Mike Hodges, usually a hurler himself, but Monday
was in right field and pulled, off a sensational third-put catch of
a sinking line drive to stop an enemy rally.
vicious cuts at the third strike.
McDougald gave up three hits
during the game, one of which
was a scratch single and ano
ther a wind-blown double to the
right-field line. He struck out
10 South Hall players and was
especially tough in the clutch.
He fanned the two final outs
