Single game ticket orders also
are still being accepted for all
games except Georgia Tech. By
contract Georgia Tech gets
12,000 tickets to the game here
and the anticipated sale of sea
son tickets will exclude single
game ticket orders for the Tech
game. All other opposing teams
require significantly smaller
blocks of tickets than Tech;
therefore, single game tickets
can be sold for these four home
games.

SEC champion) at Knoxville; Oct.

Louis Tillet
Still King Os
Wrestlers Here
There was plenty of action
Saturday night in Covington
Wrestling from the first match
to the main event.
This must have been one of
the toughest matches for King
Louie Tillet, but he came out
the winner against the Big Ger
man Hans Schmidt. After a
fall a piece Hans was disqual
ified in the third fall for hitting
Louie below the belt.
In the semi-final Big Jim Wil
son and Rubberman Johnny Wal
ker surprised the fans by giving
the Rising Suns a tough time for
forty-five minutes. The match
was called a draw.
In the first match Dick Stein
born took the place of Avenger
No. 3 who was hurt on TV. Dick
was the victor against young pop
ular Bobby Hart.
Southwest Texas affords the
shotgunner a bonanza in scaled
(blue) quail—with little compe
tition from local hunters, who
concentrate on other game.

doing well in baseball, too. The

Reed, who gave up his job as a
forward with the Detroit Pistons
basketball team last winter to
devote fuhtime to pitching for
the Braves, was working on a per
fect game at San Francisco April
29 when Willie Mays singled with
two out in the seventh inning of a
game at Candlestick Park.
Mays thus became the first
Giant to reach base against Reed
in six-and-two-thirds innings.
Ron had retired the first 20 bat
ters to face him.
“It might as well have been
Willie,” Ron said later, meaning
if anyone was going to reach him
he was glad it was an all-time
great like Mays.
Now a 25-year-old with four
years in pro ball, Reed was signed
by Atlanta in 1965 off the campus
at Notre Dame, where he was a
two-sport star. He was the ace
