A new coach, a new schedule and a new outlook are the |
optimistic prospects facing Forest Park fans for the 1966 I
grid season. Hard hit by graduation the Panthers return only
16 members of the 1965 squad which rolled up a 4-6 mark under
departed coach Fred Bowers.
Coach Carl Madison, an Import
from Milton, Fla., was mildly
disappointed when only 40 hope
fuls reported for drills Mon
day. He believes, however this
was due to the fact that "For
est Park hasn’t had a winner
In the past few years”. He also
stated ‘‘once we start winning
we’ll have twice that number
coming out every year”.
The new head coach; along
with line coach Kenneth Avin
ger and backfield coach John
Smith, spent the first few
days on conditioning and tim
ing, More of the same Is the
promise until August 16 when
the Panthers don pads for the
first time.
A few surprises are planned
by Coach Madison for the new
season. Among these are plans
to “put the football in the air”
and a more diversified attack.
Also a few position shifts are
in store for the upcoming sea
son.
Returning from the ’65 squad
are seniors Steve Butler, E;
Tommy Burge, C; Mike Jen
kins, FB; Dennis McCollum,
E; Dave Hardeman, G; Dwight
Peppers, QB; Bill Prlchett, HB;
Tommy Hutto, HB; Mike Flynn,
HB, Chris Phillips, HB, and
juniors Freddy Bowers, HB;
Ronnie Cates, HB; Barry Gab
le, G, and Jerry Lanb, G.

of bright prospects up from

Record Mackerel Catch
A group of four Atlanta fishermen, planning a three-day
Ashing trip to Florida, got their fill, and more, of king mac
kerel in less than a day’s jousting with the denizens of the
deep, loaded their freezer down and pointed the nose of their
car homeward.
In seven hours they had salted away 52 mackerel,
which were not even in season, weights ranging from 4 to
15 pounds.
They were aboard a fishing charter accomodating four be
sides the captain and It was out of Destin, Fla., some 50
miles from Pensacola.
The four who were so surfeited with the sport in less than
a day were Don Merritt, Jack Vinsen, Chuck Cowles and
A. B. Suttles, head of the license tag department of Georgia.
They made what the boat captain termed a record catch
while trolling, using cigar minnows and No. 6 silver spoons.

Although Ken Prock, Donnie
Johnson, Warren Vaughan, Mike
Vaughan, Danny Payne, Wayne ।
Boling, Glenn Baker, Darrell ’
Chambers, Tommy Broadwell,
Phil Davidson, Ronnie Thomp
son and Latson Garing will be
sorely missed, Coach Madison
believes "with hard work and
all-out determination Forest
Park can field a respectable
team”. If the Parkers are to
have a “respectable” season
they will be forced to do it the
hard way. Besides meeting old
foes North Clayton, Jonesboro-
R. E. Lee and Griffin, the Pan
thers must go Into battle with
new enemies North Fulton,
Grady, Southwest, Woodward
Academy (formerly GMA),
Therrell and Tucker.
Indeed Forest Park is feed
with a hard road but since
football games are won with
desire, hustle and determina
tion a winning season Is not out
of the question. In the past ->
stranger things have happened!

CARL MADISON TAKES OVER

Score For Bo
The nation, and Georgians and
Alabamans particularly, gaU
. ed a new re-
spect for the
Republican
Party Sunday
when two De^p
South boys ac
quitted them
selves with
honors on the
Meet the
Press pro
gram.
Interrogated
by some of the sharpest need
lers In this press quiz busi
ness they fielded all the ques
tions and replied with clarity
and precision that doubtless
many Northerners thought was
beyond any Southerner, be he
Republican or Democrat.
Os course It was Rep. Bo
Callaway for Georgia and Rep.
James Martlnfor Alabama, both
aiming for the governorship of
their respective states.
Bo got home a good punch
when the panel Inquired whe
ther he was “afraid President
Johnson would visit Georgia to
help beat him In the governor’s
race”.
“President Johnson Is ex
tremely unpopular in Georgia
and I can’t think of anything
that would help the Republican
Party more (If Johnson did come
to Georgia) unless he brought
Vice President Humphrey with
him”, retorted 80.
They tried to embarrass Bo too
on his antl-clvil rights voting
in the House, asking him how
he expected to get any Negro
votes.
Callaway admitted frankly he
had voted against civil rights
but added that he has been
“totally fair” with Negroes and

believes the GOP can help raise
the standards of both Negroes
and whites better than the
Democrats.
There is little doubt that the
gentleman from Pine Mountain
did himself proud.
Rep. Martin, opposing Mrs.
Lurleen Wallace for Governor
in Alabama, forthrightly stated
that ne had no intention of vot
ing for any civil rights bill but
he believes the Negroes “will
support me because Gov. Wal
lace has created a financial
crisis and the Negroes would
be glad to have a businesslike
administration”.
Rep. Martin declined to be any
thing but kind and gracious to
ward his woman opponent, say
ing “Mrs. Wallace is a very
charming lady”. To the hint that
maybe the Governor’s wife
would take over with a plat
form of her own if elected and
run the state as she felt best
rather than follow George’s
lead, Martin smilingly acknow
ledged that it might come true.
Replying to a panel query,
Martin said he thought Dick
Nixon was the Republican most
likely to gain the 1968 presiden
tial nomination. “He is very
popular in the South”, Martin
ventured.
Both representatives did a fine
job and made friends and un
doubtedly won some votes for
the GOP.
