The Battalion QUARTERBACK CLUB ‘Champ-Maker’ Coaches ’Dogs Presidential Cup Game Will Open Aggie-Bulldog Series Wallace Butts, whose Georgia Bulldogs battle high- scoring Texas A&M December 9 in the Presidential Cup classic at College Park, Md., is truly the “Bowl Master.” The Presidential Cup game will be the seventh time this 45-year-old Cracker, a native of Milledgeville, Ga., and former star athlete at Mercer University in Macon, Ga., has landed Georgia in a post-season classic. Here’s Butts’ Bowl record: 1942 Orange Bowl — Georgia 40 Texas Christian 26 1943 Rose Bowl — Georgia 9 U.C.L.A. 0 1946 Oil Bowl — Georgia 20 Tulsa 6 1947 Sugar Bowl — Georgia 20 North Carolina 10 1948 Gator Bowl — Georgia 20 Maryland 20 1949 Orange Bowl — Georgia 28 Texas 41 The Presidential Cup game will be a curtain-raiser for a home-and-home series previously arranged between the Bulldogs and Aggies. Georgia meets Texas A&M at Dallas (in the Cotton bowl) October 3, 1953, and in Athens’ Sanford stadium October 2, 1954. Wallace Butts, since he took over the coaching reins at Georgia in 1939, has compiled the best championship record in the conference, turning out SEC championship teams in 1942-46-48, not to mention seven teams to win post-season game invitations. Butts was the passing pacesetter in the Southeastern Conference. His Bulldogs are the only SEC team ever to complete more than 100 passes in a season more than once: 122 in 1942, 112 in 1946 and 107 in 1947. His most famous proteges were Frank Sinkwich, All- America tailback (Georgia used single wing then) in 1941- 42; Charles Trippi, All-America left half in 1946 (Butts switched to T-formation in 1944); John Rauch, All-America T-quarterback in 1948, and Joe Geri, all-SEC left half in 1948. In 1942 Sinkwich set a total offense record of 2,187 yards which stood until this season. Trippi still holds the SEC scoring record for three varsity seasons: 186 points. Rauch twice gained over 1,000 yards passing: 1,352 in 1947 and 1,307 in 1948. Trademarks of Butts’ teams are superb conditioning (the Bulldogs don’t sit down during timeouts), pulverizing blocking and tackling, and tremendous will-to-win. The team Butts will send against Texas A&M in the President’s Cup game owns the finest defensive mark of any team he has coached at Georgia. Back in 1941 Butts’ Bulldogs allowed 10 foes only 59 points and went on to wallop Texas Christian in the Orange Bowl. This year’s hard-tackling crew has given up only 58 points in 10 games during the toughest schedule in Georgia football history. Only Tennessee, which has given up 57 points in 10 games, has a better record in the SEC. It is the best defensive record at Georgia since the 1921 Bulldogs allowed 10 foes only 31 points. Although he does not play on Georgia’s defensive team, perhaps the Bulldogs’ most valuable defensive player is senior punting specialist Pat Field of Republic, Pa., recently voted the SEC’s greatest punter. Field is both a great punter for distance and for accuracy booting out of bounds. Coach Butts has gone on record calling this year’s club “probably the hardest tackling team” he has coached.
