Some of us had al- nost forgotten what a T-bone teak was like but it was sure l jot of fun renewing our ac¬ quaintance . The Rev Dyess took his first jite of the steak, looked up cith a surprised expression ind said, “You know, this ; astes a lot better than balo- lie, doesn’t it?’’ Bill Pullen and Ed Bible cere late arrivals but the first jhing Bill did was walk over end lean over Governor Talm- idge's shoulder and engage in i leangthy conversation.

Talmadge was a Lt.-Commander during the When Pullen and Bible did get served, their steaks were bigger, thicker, ,and jucier than any served the rest of us. Must be nice to know a Gov¬ ernor. It was a pleasant occasion— no one even mentioned the name of Truman. It was a sick group of ball players Saturday night after ■Davis lest in the finals to |Tunnel all Hill Those from Davis the were agreed that it was jworst [played the game the team had entire year. It was heart-breaking since (the boys had come so close, "hey played their hearts out in pasting the favorite, Sugar 1 alley. They just used up everything they had in the all day tournament. Tunnel Hill was “hot” but even so, Davis ‘auld have taken Tunnel Hill, - or cold, if they had played iDst an average game. It was enough to make a jp-rson them did. want to About cry — some of Lrcm 75 persons the Davis community P re there backing their team.

The final game was a treme ndous let down for Coach John Thornhill’s Davis team as the Yellow Jackets had already elim¬ teams consider- ed to be the best in the tourn- ament and were favored to trounce Tunnel Hill for the championship. Coach Thornhill said before the tourney that “we’re going to show these people how to play Alabama basketball.’’ Da- ’lf„ and ‘1, plays only T Tennessee Alabama and Alabama teams during the re¬ gular season. Thornhill refer¬ red to the fast-break brand of ball his team uses. The story of the tournament was not'the final game but rather the events which led up to it. The final game was a story of a tired, overconfident Davis team against a spurred, inspired Tunnel Hill five. Resaca Girls Win The Davis girls were elimin¬ ated in the first rounds of the tourney. The Resaca girls won the girls’ champinship by eli¬ minating Subligna in the semi final, 43 to 31, and upsetting Belwood in the finals, 37 to 26. Belwood had defeated Resaca in the Gordon County Tourney but were completely outplayed Saturday night by Hull and Dobson, two fast forwards. The Davis boys began cold in the round-robin opening eli¬ minations but gained momen- teum to pull out ahead of Oostanaula and Resaca to en¬ ter the semi-finals. They drew Sugar Valley in the semi¬ finals, Gordon County cham¬ pions and tourney favorites. Opinion at the tournament was that the team that could beat Sugar Valley would win the championship but no team was given a chance to elimin- ’ate the tall, husky team. Their center stood 6 foot 6 and a forward was 6 foot 4.

After that date,, pros¬ pective members must be ap¬ proved by a majority vote of the membership.

President Myron Gass declared that if the Association is to be a success, all who are interest¬ ed must participate. Neely And Lea /If Collegedale Two Dade college students were overlooked in previous lists. They are June Neely and Myrna Lea. They are both en- I rolled at Southern Missionary College, Collegedale, Tenn. Governor Herman Talmadge was the guest speaker at the dinner, which was held in the Riegeldale Tavern. He addres- sed the group on economic con- ditions in Georgia and the South and cited progress that haj been made in dive-sifying farm products and putting soil conservation practices into use. Top Economic Problem ‘‘The South,” he declared, “was considered the number one economic problem of the nation in the early thirties, but today it is Opportunity Number One.’’ Talmadge declared that when he was a boy on the farm, the livelihood of a Geor¬ gia farmer each year depend¬ ed upon two things: the amount of cotton raised that year and the price that cotton brought on the market. This is no longer true, he continued, as Georgia’s economy is based soundly on various agricultural and industrial enterprises. “This northwest section of Georgia,’ he said, “has made more progress, both industrial and agricultural, than any other section of the state.’’ The Governor revealed that about half of the land in the Coosa River Soil Conservation District, comprising eight counties, is under soil conser¬ vation practices. Each supervisor introduced the sponsers present from each county and the members of the Press present were also intro¬ duced.
