Bears Drop
Auburn 5-3,
Face Ga. Tech
After stopping Auburn 5 to 3
here last Saturday, the Mercer
Bears journey to Ga. Tech today
where they go after their third
straight win over an SEC team. The
Bears previously upset the U. of
Georgia Bulldogs, 5-4.
Reggie Wilkes, Mercer clean up
batter and Bud Culbreth, number
five man for the Bears, sparked a
first inning rally against Auburn
as they belted out consecutive
doubles, driving in three runs.
Culbreth proved himself to be the
big man in the Bear attack as he
again hit a two bagger in the fifth,
driving in Mercer’s two final runs
which clinched the ballgame.
Frank Worthy was the winning
pitcher, starting the game for the
Bears and throwing four fine in
nings before he was taken out due
to the cold weather. Worthy gave
up 2 runs, 2 hits, and 3 walks
before he was relieved by lefthand
er Gene Harrelson who pitched one
and two thirds innings, giving up
one run. one hit, and two walks.
In the sixth inning with the
score 5-2 for the Bears, Auburn
made a desperate last try, loading
the bases and scoring one run. Bud
Culbreth was whom the Bruins
called on to end the potential scor
ing spree, which he did, forcing
homertm hitter Jim Pyburn to
ground out. Culbreth pitched one
and one third innings, giving up
no runs, one hit, and no walks. He
also led the Bear batters, getting
two doubles out of three trips to
the plate.
Auburn scattered three runs in
the third, fourth, and sixth innings,
all of which were unearned. They
ended the day with four hits to
Mercer’s five. The game was a
seven inning affair as agreed upon
by both coaches.
5-4 Upset
Bears Top Dogs
In Opening Game
Mercer’s cage of Bears bumped
the kennel of Bulldog* from the
University of Georgia in the first
game of the baseball season for
both teams 5-4 at Willingham Field
recently. The Grizzly Bears came
from behind in the last of the ninth
inning to cop the upset victory.
Bud Culbreth went the rout* on
the mound for the Bruins, scatter
ing hits throughout the game. One
of those hits was a 400 foot home
run blast to ‘Dog centerfield Wen
dell Tarleton, which was the only
homer of the game.
With one down and the score
at 4-3 for Georgia in the bottom
of the ninth, John and JaWs Hugh
es both got on base. Tommy Mixon
then tied the game with a single
through the pitcher’s box, scoring-
John and sending James to third,
Mixon pulling up at second. Coach
Red Dog Smith then signaled for
his squeeze play, and Batsman Reg
gie Wilkes laid down a perfect
bunt as James Hughes raced across
the plate for the game-winning
tally.
Mixon and Harold Scott led the
Bruin hit attack with two safeties
apiece, while Tarleton paced the
Bulldogs with two blows also.

IF EVER TWO BODIES were divorced, it is surely Girin and Base
ball. I think all the males in the reading audience wjll agree with me,
and all the liberal-minded women who half-way understand the game
will also. But for the few die-hards of the opposite aex who etill hold
out here are some recent observations that show why I am of this
opinion.
With two oaU and e runner on third, the batter (rounded to
the shortstop, who threw the batter out at first. Here it comes:
“Why didn’t the run score since the man on third touched the
little home plate before the batter was out at first?” If anyone
cares to elaborate on this remark, he had bent have a tot of
patience.
Another incident occured during a girl’s softball game as the
batter bit the ball while a runner was on base. The fielders made another
error and the runner on bate kept running, finally ending up scoring.
But what about our little heorine who hit the ball ?
Well, after the gained first base, she had to stop and WATCH her
playmate circle the bases. The thought of advancing an extra base
never entered her mind. (Just as soon do this, I reckon, for she was
bloody-lucky to even hit the ball in the first place.)
Here's a cltssic that should live for ages.
A player decided to take his girl to the bell game to see him
play. She had been nagging him to take her for some time.
So he says to her, “Where do you want to ait?”
“What do you play?” she inquired.
“Second base.”
“Well, then, I want to sit right behind second base, of course,”
she said.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, you’ll get more pleasure from
your cigarette if it’s a Lucky Strike. That’s the point of the
Droodle above, titled: Three deep-sea divers enjoying Luckies.
You get deep-down smoking enjoyment from Luckies because
they taste better. Why do they taste better? That’s easy to
fathom. First of all, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then,
that tobacco is toasted to taste better, “/fa Toasted”—the
famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies’ light, mild,
good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better... cleaner,
fresher, smoother. So, when it’s light-up time, light up the
better-tasting cigarette . . . Lucky 8trike.
