Beard Signed
By The Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks Saturday
announced the signing of their top
draft pick in the April NBA draft,
Alfred (Butch) Beard of the Uni
versity of Louisville. No terms
were announced by the club.
Beard, a 6-3 18 5-pound back
court man. is regarded as the
best guard in the nation at lead
ing the fast break among the
college backllners.
The 22-year-old Kentuckylan
was a high school All-American
choice at Breckinridge County
High School where he also won
All-State honors as a junior and
senior.
In college, he started every
one of the 83 games his school
played during a three-year var
sity campaign leading the Car
dinals to a 65-18 mark from 1966
to 1969.
He played a forward spot as
a sophomore and played guard
the past two years. Ite ranks
third among LouisviUe’sall-tlme
scorers behind former NBA star,
Charley Tyra (1827 points) and
Baltimore Bullets’ ace, Wes Un
sold (1,686 points). Beard scored
1,580 points in 83 games for a
19.0 per game clip.
He averaged 20.5 a game as a
sophomore; 16.0 as a junior and
scored 557 points In 27 games
the past season for a 20.6 mark.
He hit on a .489 from the
field mark during his college
career (613 of 1252 tries) and
hit .742 from the line (354 of
489), He also had 524 rebounds.
He was named to the Asso
ciated Press and United Press
International All-American
squad the past year.
Beard was a first-team All-
Missouri Valley Conference sel
ection all three of his varsity
seasons.
Butch, as he is known more
familiarly, had a career high of
41 points versus Bradley during
the 1967-68 season and hit a sea
son high of 35 versus SMU the
past year.
“We feel he is one of the finest
prospects In the country,” coach
Richie Guerin said. “He’s the
Sanders Scholarship Fund.
The Doug Sanders Scholarship
Fund was founded by the popular
Georgia-born golf pro Doug San
ders for the purpose of assisting
needy but deserving children of
his home state to attend the Geor
gia college of their choice.
Os the participating stars, Dan
ny TTiomas has perhaps been
known down the years for more
charitable acts than any other
working actor in show business.
An avalanche of honors from
scores of civic, religious, edu
cational, cultural, medical, and
brotherhood groups have inunda
ted him mostly as tokens of ap
preciation for his countless acts
of charity for worthy causes.

Hawks general Manager, Marty

Loses In
Decision
Paul Demarco defeated Little
John in a wrestling match at the
Fairgrounds Arena in Covington
Saturday night, but it wasn’t with
out a real fight in the squared
ring. Many thought it was an un
popular decision, as the referee
apparently did not see that Little
John had his feet on the ropes.
That should have broken the hold
that Demarco had on Little John.
In the semi-final El Mongol won
over Scandor Akbar. There was
only one fall in the 45-mlnutes.
In the second match Bill Dromo
downed Joe Turco.
The first match of the night was
also a good wrestling bout. Dennis
Hall had the best of Timothy
Geohagen in that tussle.

THE ERA OF AARON
Analyzing the Milwaukee
Braves lineup before the 1957
World Series, Casey Stengel
paused at 'Aaron, right field.’
“Don’t throw this feller no
strikes,’ he said.
Many pitchers haven’t fol
lowed Casey’s advice, and
each lived to regret it. The
Braves right fielder starts the
1969 season with nearly 3,000
major league base hits, more
than all but two-dozen players
in the 100-year history of pro
fessional Baseball.
What was more impressive
was the way 35-year-old Hank
was hitting in the Braves ter
rific sweep of the San
Francisco Giants in a three
game opening series.
Hank had seven hits in his
first 12 at bats for a .583
average, and four of the seven
hits were doubles, a statistic
in which he leads all active
major league batters.
The three-game sweep of
San Francisco was the fast
est start by the Braves in
ten years, since the 1959 team
