Hawks Meet San Diego,
San Francisco In Atlanta
The Big E and Nate the Great
are the latest problems to con
front the Big Z. Breaking it
down - that’s Z’s problem and
Atlanta Hawks center, Zelmo
Beaty, has done right well in
solving them thus far this sea
son.
The Big E is Elvin Hayes of
the San Diego Rockets who pro
vide the opposition for the Hawks
here Friday night at the Dome
while Thurmond makes a return
trip to the Hawks home base
one night later.
Hayes, Houston’s All-time All-
American of the past three years,
outscored Beaty 32 points to 19
in their initial meeting won by
San Diego 127-116 on Oct. 30

on the Hawks’ first westward
trip.
The Big E hit on 15 of 29
attempts, grabbed off 22 rebounds
and blocked nine shots as the
Rockets outscored the Hawks 42-
43 in the final period.
Thurmond scored 23 points
last Friday against Beaty but
the Hawks center had one of his
usual fine outcourt hitting nights
pumping in 10 of 18 from the
perimeter to total 25 for the
evening.
Thurmond, at 6-11, poses too
much of a problem for Beaty
underneath but the Hawks us
ually counter with Bill Bridges
and Paul Silas inside.
That move was the difference
last week as Bridges took 24
off the boards and Silas came
through with 11 to counteract
the 20 rebounds taken down by
the towering Thurmond.
Beaty’s been one of the few
bright spots for the Hawks of
late hitting 27 against Celtics to
continue his torrid shooting.
Beaty has hit on 88 of 165
field goal attempted for a .526
mark - best on the club. He’s
scored 214 points in the club’s
nine games for a per-game clip
of 23.8. Moreover, he’s done
his scoring against the big boys -
27 against Bill Russell; a
season’s high of 31 against Wilt
Chamberlain and 25 against Nate
Thurmond.
If the rest of the club puts
their game together, with Beaty’s
the Hawks should be ready to
make a move.
Rams Edge Franklin Co. 13-12
NCHS Meets Burney-Harris
At Athens Friday Night

(News And Sports Editor)
Johnny Moon, a valuable Ram on offense and defense, came up
with a big play early in the second quarter of the game here Friday
as the NCHS eleven edged the visiting Franklin County Lions 13-12.
Moon broke through and blocked the attempt by the visitors for their
first extra point following the initial TD of the clash. Moon also
scored the first six-pointer for Coach Wilbur Fisher’s team before
the half ended.
Following the first counter of
the game by the Rams, Lee
Piper calmly put the ball through
the uprights for the eventual
extra point that won the regional
tilt. Franklin’s try for their
second PAT was wide in the
fourth quarter and that preserved
the 13-12 advantage for the home
forces.
Tailback Bobby Hood and
Quarterback Jim Allen led the
NCHS offense. Hood had 108
yards in the game via the rushing
route and Allen had 81. Jim
also rolled up 105 yards through
the air. The one big strike in
this total came in the second
quarter when Allen passed to
Sidney Norton for a66-yardgaln.
The play put the pigskin on the
enemy 8, and Moon took It in on
two runs at the Lion line.

JASPER COUNTY
DEER FESTIVAL
The Monticello-Jasper Jay
cees will sponsor the second an
nual Jasper County deer festival
on Saturday, Nov. 9. The festi
val will get underway at 9:30
a. m. on the square in Monti
cello. It will feature prizes,
displays, exhibits, speakers and
a queen.
Eddie Ray Tyler, president of
the Monticello-Jasper Jaycees,
said, “We want to salute the deer
hunters in this area as well as the
whole southeast.” He pointed out
that you don’t have to be a deer
hunter to come and enjoy the dis
plays and other events during the
day-long event.
Last year the Monticello-Jas
per Jaycees made history by
holding the first deer festival
in this part of the country. In
fact, I think it may have been the
first one ever held anywhere.
And it was a successful festival,
too.
Billy Connelly is chairman of
this year’s festival. When asked
why the people of Jasper County
decided to pay tribute to deer
hunters, he said the deer and deer
hunter account for one of the
county’s greatest industries.
Mell Tanner, Jasper County Ex
tension agent, says just about ev
erybody in Jasper County will be
on hand to see that the guests
have a good time.
Several prizes will be awarded
during the event. These prizes
will go to the hunter who kills
the largest deer during the week,
the hunter traveling the longest
distance to get to Monticello,
and the man with the longest
beard. Other prizes Include
two 30-30 rifles, a hunting knife
and a camouflage suit.
L. S. Kelley, mayor of Mon
ticello, has proclaimed the week
of November 4 as “Deer Festival
Week.” And I can assure those
of you who enjoy country music
and homemade candies and cakes,
both will be available at the festi
val. Hungry hunters and other
folks will probably want to take
advantage of the chicken barbecue
at lunchtime.
Governor Lester Maddox will
deliver the keynote address at
1:30 p. m. He will also crown
the Deer Festival Queen. Other
special guests who will be at the
festival include: Jim Adams,
president of the Georgia Sports
men’s Federation; George Bag
by, director of the State Game
and Fish Commission; Ray Shir
ley, director of the Georgia For
estry Commission; Jim Morri
son, editor of the Georgia Game
and Fish magazine, and Bill Rob
inson, outdoor writer, The At
lanta Journal. I’ll be there, too.
Why dqn’t you join us for what
promises to be an enjoyable ex
perience. You’ll get to see first
hand how the people of Jasper
County feel about the economic
contribution the white-tall deer
makes to their area.
Armstrong Wins
Wrestling Bout
In the wrestling match Satur
day night Bob Armstrong proved
to everybody that he is no Rookie
anymore, by Defeating rough and
tough Hangman Jim Starr two
straight falls. Stan Vachon tried
to interfere in that match, Bob
certainly didn’t like it.
Bob has challenged Stan for
this coming Saturday. Stan has a
big mouth, we will see how big
it will be when he comes out of
the ring Saturday.
In the second main event the
Torres Brothers defeated the
Vachons two straight falls. The
Vachons were disqualified in the
second fall.
Defensive play of Captain Andy
Howell, Tony Moon, Rusty Creech
and Billy Childers had an impor
tant part in the Newton Countians
fifth victory of the season against
two losses and two ties. Howell
had 14 tackles, Moon 12, and
Creech 11, and Childers nine.
Not to be overlooked for his
fine defensive play in the game
was tackle Tom Marlow of Frank
lin County. The 232-pound
junior must have made about
half the tackles for his team.
The Rams will go to Athens
Friday night to meet the strong
Burney-Harris team, a member
of Region BAA West. Second
place in the sub-region standings
will be at stake in that game.
Burney-Harris lost to Gaines
ville 10-6 earlier in the season.
NCHS also has a loss to Gaines
ville (28-0).
