Porterdale Gym Presents
Bright Face Despite Age
One would never know the Port
erdale Gym is 30 years old. The
neat brick building with white trim
and Greek Revival columns facing
the town’s main street looks as if
it is still getting adjusted to the
sound of cheering voices,
referee’s whistles and tramping
feet. But basketball games, phy
sical education classes, and var
ious forms of entertainment have
been going on in the building
since the late James H. Porter
had it built in 1939 “for the
people of Porterdale” in honr of
his father, Oliver S. Porter, foun
der of Porterdale.
About a year ago the old gym
had its face lifted and it can now
hold its own with the newest
facility of its size. Bibb’s ath
letic director, B. C. Crowell
will proudly tell you that a 22-

I have been reviewing a sci
entific paper prepared by A. D.
Marshall and R. W. Whitington,
game biologists with the Georgia
Game and Fish Commission. For
better than a year these fellows
have been studying the home ran
ges and behavior of deer during
managed deer hunts on the Clark
Hill Wildlife Management Area.
In doing this, they used a tech
nique whereby radio transmitt
ers were placed on deer and
followed almost constantly by
men with radio tracking equip
ment.
Hie study on the Clark Hill
management area consists of
some 800 areas. TTie total deer
population was estimated to be 50
to 55 deer per square mile, or
one deer to about 12 acres, prior
to the managed hunts in 1967.
Some interesting facts were
derived from the radio tracking
technique. For instance, a six
year-old doe was radio-tracked
from April to May and It was
determined that she had a home
range of 121 acres. The same
foot extension was added to the
front of the building, providing
space outside the gym proper for
a concession area, an executive
office, and a 72-foot ramp. The
original brick front now inside the
building, was painted white, with
the Porter plaque remaining and
two handsome carriage lamps fl
anking the ramp. There are now
two large doors, one on each side
of the entrance, to replace the
single small one on the original
front.
Walls inside the new annex
(besides the original brick one)
are panelled with pecan wood.
The panelling extends to Coach
Crowell’s office where he has
such decorative accessories as a
carved eagle wall plaque and an
alligator-skin golf bag he uses
as a trash basket.
animal tracked from October 12
to October 25 had reduced its
home range to 87 acres. In
contrast, a three-year-old doe
with a fawn was radio-tracked
from mid-May to the first part
of July and ranged over a 40-acre
area. In November and December
their range had increased to 78
acres.
How does this compare with
bucks? To answer this question,

In this study it was pointed out
that this information concerning
home range of deer provided
evidence of a possible relation
ship between the number of deer
and the size of the home range.
That is, in areas of heavy deer
populations, the home range is
likely to be less than in areas
where the population is sparse.
The home range boundaries, of
course, are not separate pieces

Even during heavy hunting it
was found that deer remain with
in their home range. Under
standably, nowever, as hunter
pressure increased, so did deer
movement. One factor that con
tributed to increased movement
with hunting pressure increases
was an absence of under
story vegetation in the forest.
The study further revealed that
in order to successfully cause
deer to move about on areas
having rather sparse understory,
a hunter density of five hunters
per hundred acres would be re
quired. Hunter density of 10
hunters per hundred acres, it
was thought, would produce a
heavy harvest.
Radio tracking deer and other
wildlife species is a relatively
new technique for studying the
habits and movements of various
species of wildlife. Dr. J. H.
Jenkins and Dr. Larry Mar ch
inton, professors of wildlife ma
nagriient at the Uhiversity of
Georgia, presently have, and have
had for some time now, several
studies involving this technique.
Some very interesting and help
ful information has been derived,
and there can be no doubt that
this technique will prove to be
an Important tool for the game
biologist in improving the abun
dance and quality of wildlife for
the sportsman and nature lover
alike.

Field In 1973
ATLANTA ( SPECIAL) The
Southern California Trojams,
perenially one of the nation’s
football powers, will make their
first appearance in Atlanta as
Georgia Tech’s opening opponent
on the Yellow Jcakets’ 1973 foot
ball schedule.
The 1973 slate, released today
by athletic director Bobby Dodd,
will feature seven games to be
played In Tech’s Grant Field
stadium. In addition to Southern
California the Jackets will play
host to Clemson, Army, Audurn,
Duke, V. M. I. and Georgia.
Road games in 1973 will be
against Tennessee at Knoxville,
Tulan at New Orleans and Navy
at a site to be determined by
the Naval Academy officials.

who were to become national
champions in 1962 with much the
same team that Tech defeated,
also featured a double quarter
back offense with Bill Nelson

and Pete Bethard (now of the
Houston Ollers) directing traffic.

HAMPTON-" That’s not one of
my better tracks,” said Richard
Petty as he momentarily inter
rupted work on his blue number
43 Talladega.
The 31-year old twice Grand
National Champion, and NAS
CAR’S most popular driver, was
preparing for the Atlanta (Ga.)
500 on Sunday, March 30.
What’s wrong with the Atlanta
International Raceway?
“My cars won’t finish!” was
the abrupt answer. Richard’s
face wore an impatient, mis
chevious grin. He was anxious
to get back to the race car
work, but couldn’t resist the
needling comment.
Then, more seriously, “There
are some tracks that no matter
what I do, I run good, and there
are other tracks that no matter
what I do, it doesn’t work.”
Does he really believe there is
a psychological situation at race
tracks like Atlanta? “I don’t
rightly know, but I just know
I can’t do any good there. I’ve
only won one race in Atlanta
and guess I finished second once.”

winner in the 20-year NASCAR

New Cottages
To Be Built At
Rutledge Park
ATLANTA (GPS)-one of Geo
rgia’s oldest recreation areas—
-34-year-old Hard Labor Creek
State Park near Rutledge—soon
will offer ten modern rental cot
tages to visitors the year-round.
Hie new cottages, which will
have central air-conditioning,
electric baseboard heating, fire
places and porches, are expected
to be ready for the fall season,
according to State Parks Director
John L. Gordon.
Hard Labor Creek State Park
is unique in that it has on the
property the creek itself, plus
two lakes—the 45-acre Brantley
and 275-acre Rutledge. Thus it
is able to offer, along with camp
ing, hiking and 18 holes of golf,
a wide variety in the area of
boating, fishing, swimming and
group camp facilities, it was
pointed out.
Just minutes away from down
town Atlanta via U. S. Highway
278 and Interstate 20 east, the
park also is located about 12
miles east of Madison where
many beautiful ante-bellum
homes, spared by Gen. William
T. Sherman on his famous “March
to the Sea,” may be seen and
enjoyed by visitors.
Further information about the
park and its new facilities may
be obtained from Park Superin

400 doesn’t seem much of a
record.
Petty has won 8 superspeed
way races in the past 5 years,
plus his recent January victory
on the Riverside (Calif.) road
course, two each at Daytona and
Rockingham and 3 at Darlington,
S. C., and the one in Atlanta.
“I guess the tracks that give
us the most trouble, that’s where
we try harder, maybe too hard,”
Richard added.
Since his switch from a decade
of driving Plymouth cars to a
1969 Ford, “we have learned
a lot about this car. Right now,
we’re working on the suspension.
“Atlanta will be the first time
we will run the new engine,”
referring to the highly rated 429
cubic inch ‘semi-hemi’ power
plant that is supposed to pro
duce at least 50 more horse
power than the engines which
Petty, Lee Roy Yarbrough ana
David Pearson have driven to
recent wins at Riverside, Day
tona and Rockingham, in that
order.
The engine in his car will be
a Petty original, having arrived
direct from the factory “and
we’ve worked it all over.” The
‘we’ being his brother, Maurice,
and dad, Lee.
In spite of Richard’s lament
ing over his AIR racing record,
he rates sth in all-time Atlanta
money winners, $38,465, since the
track opened, and other than
three-time winner Fred Loren
zen, he has the best consistency
record, finishing 6 of 17 races
among the top 5 drivers; placing
