two-year regular Kirby Moore.
“We are well pleased with the
play of Gilbert, Cavan and Hamp
ton this spring,” says Head Coach
Vince Dooley. “It looks like it
is going to be a difficult job for
the coaching staff to pick a start
er for our opening game Sept. 14
against defending SEC champion
Tennessee at Knoxville.”
Cavan will quarterback the
RED team which has a veteran
backfield of LH Steve Farns-
worth, RH Steve Woodward and
FB Bruce Kemp. Gilbert and
Hampton will pilot the BLACK
backfield of LH Ed Allen (Bteam
graduate), RH Craig Elrod and
FB Brad Johnson.
The rival squads were selected
by a draft system. That is, the
head coach of the BLACKS(Frank
Inman) won first choice in select
ing a player for his squad; RED
coach John Donaldson had second
choice and made his selections
on all even numbered picks until
all players were chosen.
As usual, quite a few players
will miss the game due to injur
ies. The end corps has been
hardest hit, six of them being
on the sidelines: offensive ends
Dennis Hughes, Billy Brice and
Mike Green; defensive flankmen
Billy Payne, Sandy Johnson and
Lee Daniel. Defensive tackle
Jiggy Smaha (Georgia National
Guard) and tailback Kent Law
rence (Georgia track team) also
will miss the game.

Returns
Wrestling that was supposed
to be held at Legion Field on
Saturday night was held on Sun
day afternoon due to Saturday
night’s rain.
Matches were changed but like
always there was plenty of action.
To get the matches on the
way popular Bobby Hart had a
victory over popular Silento Rod
riquez. It was a very scientific
match.
In the semi-final Big Jim Wil

feating Toni Nero two straight

My secret football informant in Daytona Beach, Fla. informs me
that Florida will win the 1968 SEC Championship. He says that
“this is THE year for Coach Ray Graves and the Gators.’’. . . And,
one of the best play-by-play football duos in the SEC, George Mooney
and Bob Foxx at the University of Tennessee, have entered a private
business partnership and will not handle the Tennessee games this
fall. . .It could be possible that Ed Thilenius will return as the Uni
versity of Georgia play-by-play announcer this fall for Coach Doo
ley’s Bulldogs. CBS has cut down on Ed’s NFL assignments for this
fall and winter.
We can now look back in retrospect and see that St. Louis is
happy hunting ground for professional sports. Only last week the
pro basketball St. Louis Hawks made plans to come to Atlanta. Only
three years ago the St. Louis Cardinals of NFL football showed an in
terest in moving to Atlanta. But that didn’t work out as Atlanta got
an NFL expansion club (Falcons). . . Jerry Wild of Monticello is
listed as a pitcher with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wild is a righthander
and hurled for the Mansfield team in the Babe Ruth League back in
the late 1950’5.
Pat Jarvis of the Braves hurling corps is one of the favorites
of many Newton Countians. If it had not been for a weekly news
paper in Carlyle, Illinois, he may not be an Atlanta Brave today.
Scout Joe Mathis was driving through Carlyle and stopped and bought
a local newspaper. He read that a baseball game was scheduled
that afternoon and he went to the game and saw Jarvis pitch; and
then he signed him to a pro contract. . . Wendell Floyd is the first
Negro boy to play in the local Newton Little League. He is a pitcher
for the Porterdale Yankees.
Jaycee Ronald Carter has advisedus that the Jaycees will not stage
the State Tennis Tournament this year atColumbus. This is a pity too,
as Newton had hoped to take just about all the titles at stake in the
state meet this year . . . Eddie Robinson, the Atlanta Braves Farm
Director, has brought a home in Oxford and his family will move there
on May 15 ... Approximately 120 shooters took part in the Piedmont
Open Shoot here Saturday and Sunday.
Marineland of Florida celebrates its 30th Anniversary on June 23,
1968. The oceanarium was not originally intended to be an attrac
tion, but rather a private underwater filming venture. Due to intense
interest, however, the undersea exhibits were opened to the public
and more than 30,000 visitors poured in the fir st day to see the under
