U of Georgia Playing in Seventh
Post Season Game Since 1941
By RALPH E. GORMAN
Head Mentor Wallace Butts will
be at the helm of the Georgia Bull
dogs Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.
(EST) when they march on the
field at College Park, Md. to battle
Harry Stiteler’s Aggie eleven in
the First Annual Presidential Cup
game.
This will mark the seventh time
since 1941 that Butts has landed
the Bulldogs in a post-season clas
sic. Having coached a Georgia
team in every bowl in the nation,
Butts is truly the “Bclw Master.”
best defensive record since 1921,
The Presidential Cup tilt matches
Georgia with a Southwest Confer
ence powerhouse for the third time
in their seven post-season games,
TCU and Texas having been en
gaged in the Orange Bowl in 1942
and 1949.
The Presidential Cup Classic will
be a curtain raiser for a home-and-
home series previously arranged
between the Bulldogs and the Ca
dets. These two teams will vie in
Dallas’ Cotton Bowl stadium in
1953 and in Athens’ Sanford sta-

dium during the 1954 campaign.
Thousands of football fans from
around this area Well remember
Coach Butts’ most famous prot
eges—All-Americans Frank Sink-
wich, Charles Trippi, and John
Rauch.
Defense-minded through every
minute of their game, the 1950
version of the Bulldogs have the
best defensive record since the 1921
and according to Butts is probably
the hardest tackling team that I
have ever coached.”
Only 58 in 10
This year’s hard-tackling team
has given up only 58 points in 10
games during the toughest sched
ule in Georgia’s gridiron history.
In 1921 the Bulldogs allowed their
10 foes only 31 points.
Trademarks of Butts’ teams are
superb conditioning, pulverizing
blocking and tackling, and a tre
mendous will-to-win. Many of
these “pulverizing tackles” result
in opponent fumbles and nine of
Georgia’s 24 touchdowns have
been set up by just this type of
miscue.
In an 11 game schedule this sea
son, the Bulldogs have emerged
victorious in six contests, been
victims of two opponents, and the
remaining three have ended in
deadlocks.
Won 6, Lost 2, Tied 3
Maryland (27-7), Mississippi
State (27-0), Boston College (19-
7), Florida (6-0), Auburn (12-10),
and Furman (40-0) have succumb-

ed before the fury of the Bulldogs,
while Alabama (7-14) and Geor
gia’s bitter rival Georgia Tech (0-
7) have found spots in the victor’s
circle.
St. Mary’s of California, North
Carolina, and Louisiana State were
the tying teams in the 1950 season
with 7-7, 0-0, and 13-13 as the
scores.
Regulars on this year’s rock-em-
sock-em Georgia Bulldog eleven in
clude two of the 16 seniors who
will be playing their final game
in collegiate football.
Senior players include Pat Field,
punting specialist; Billy Mixon,
halfback; Nick Feher, guard;
Mike Merola, defensive end, and
kickers John Boyd, Cy Grant, and
Spurgeon Chandler.
Employs Two Platoons
The “Bowl Master” employs the
two-platoon system in perpetrating
his gridiron devastation.
Bob Walston and Harry Bab
cock will handle offensive duties
at the end posts, while Fred Mc
Manus and Team Captain Merola
will be on hand to check the oppo
sition.
Babcock is the only sophomore
on Georgia’s first offensive team,
but Walston, Merola, and McMa
nus are seniors. Walston will car
ry an impressive pass-receiving
record into Saturday’s game with
1174 yards gained in his four years
of collegiate football.
At the tackle slot on the Georgia
offense will be the two heaviest
men on the Bulldog eleven. Hamp

guard chores, while John Burgamy
and Rocco Principe, both juniors,
will be on the defense.
Duties at the pivot post will be
split between Bill Bradshaw, a sen
ior, and Art DeCarlo, a sophomore
who was named to the All-South-
eastem Conference “sophomore”
team.
Ray rrospen, Georgia’s senior
T-quarterback, is one of the most
dangerous long passers in the con
ference, and the senior man-under
is slated to handle the signal-call
ing chores with Field, the punt
specialist. Field is noted for the
distance and accuracy he consist
ently displayed in his many boots.
Rocco—Important Man
One of the most important play
ers on the Georgia eleven is stocky
Pat Rocco, 180 pound safety man
who will split time with all-SEC
halfback Mixon. The 185 pound
Mixon has been named to several
all-opponent teams.
At the other halfback slot will
be senior Gus Hlebovy and junior
Chuck Magoni. Hlebovy has a rep
utation in SEC play as being an
outstanding pass receiver, while
the 160 pound Magoni is the “hard
est runner pound-for-pound” that
Butts has ever coached.
Georgia’s No. 1 offensive full
back Fred Bilyeu, recently named
to the SEC all-sophomore team,
will be one of the big guns against
the Aggies this Saturday, as this
185 pound fullback has averaged
3.9 yax-ds per carry throughout the
10 game season.

By RAY HOLBROOK
Working out each day at Kyle
Field is a group of quartermilers
who Coach Frank Anderson and
Ray Putman think Will again
place A&M on top in mile relay
competition during 1951.
Forming the team are Don
Mitchell, Bernard Place, Cecil
Inglehart, James Baker, Bob Har
ris, Juston McCarty, Bob Mays,
and Bobby Ragsdale.
Mitchell, a senior letterman
from Deer Park, was anchorman
on last year’s team. He ran a 48.1
in the 1949 Southwest Conference
meet 440 and clipped off a couple
of 47 quarters last season on the
final lap. He will undoubtedly run
in that position again this season.
Place—Returning Letterman
A x'eturning letterman, Place,
took fourth last year in the con
ference quartermile run and has
shown to be a powerful runner
with a great amount of natural
x'unning speed. He ran 48.5 quar
ter’s consistently last year, and
with the improvement he has
made, should have a terrjfic sea
son and be a great lead-off man
for the relay.
A good bet for the No. 2 spot is
Inglehart, a one-year letterman
from last season. He bx-oke into
the team starters late last spring
and ran a 49 second 440 on two
occasions. However, he is being
pushed heavily in workouts by Mc
Carty, Hands, Ragsdale, and Mays.
McCaiiy may be one of the
members of the squad since he has
come along fast in the last two
years.
Baker—Make or Break
But the boy who may make or
break the Aggie x’elay team this
year is James Baker.
Ineligible last year because of
scholastic difficulties, Baker is
looking good in practice and ap
pears to be the best 440 pros
pect at A&M since Art Harnden,
Olympic Star of 1948. Baker was
a freshman standout in 49, run
ning sevei’al quarters in 49 sec
onds and anchoring the first year
mile relay to win at the Texas Re
lays with a 48.4.
Formerly a splinter, the Dallas-
ite possesses gi’eat speed and a
much-sought-after perfect stride
which combined with his unusual
stamina should give the Cadets
the lead on the third lap of the re
lay.
Shaeffer—From Football
Footballer Buddy Shaeffer is
also a fine quartermiler but will
not join the Hack team until after
football season.
The Aggies relay team is now
readying for the annual Sugar
Bowl tx-ack meet in New Orleans
on Dec. 31st.
Aggieland Will Play
For Valley Club Dance
The Aggieland Orchestra ivill
play for the Rio Grande Valley
Club’s annual Chinstmas dance at
the Harlingen Air Base Dec. 27
from 8:30-12:30 p. m.
Admission for the dance which
will be semi-formal, is $3.50 per
couple.
Beat Georgia
Last year the A&M team took
second in the same meet behind
Oklahoma A&M who set a new
record on 3:16.4. Mitchell, Place,
and Inglehart were on last year’s
team that ran 3:18, and will be
seeking revenge on the Oklaho
mans this year. It is also vei’y
likely that, with weather peimit-
ting, the Maroon and White may
break the record and regain some
of their lost prestige.
Began 3 Years Ago
The rivalry between the two
Aggie quartets began thi-ee-years
ago when the National Champions
to be Texas Aggie mile relay lost
to the Oklahoma Aggies on a
dropped baton. Two years ago the
Maroon and White came away the
winner with the Okies trailing, but
last year the Okies went one up
over the Texans. Mitchell is the
only present member from the win
ning 1949 team.
Most logical members for the
Sugar Bowl quaxTet at this time
are Mitchell and McCai’ty with
the other two coming from Ingle
hart, Harris, Mays, and Ragsdale.
Both Place and Baker are side
lined with injuries. Place has a
hurt hip and Baker a bad leg. Re
covery for both men seems to be
set for late in the spring.

Remember how we used to “wait up” for
Santa! Why Christmas Eve was the longest
night of the year.
We couldn’t go to sleep for the excite
ment of anticipation. And when we tried to
stay awake, then we always would fall asleep.
But in the morning it was CHRISTMAS!
The long, long night was over!
There was a long, long night before that
first Christmas in Bethlehem . . . Through
centuries of restless yearning the world waited
for God’s Greatest Gift.
Then in a lowly manger a mother laid her
child. And shepherds came to gaze in rapture.
And Wise Men from a far-off land brought
kingly gifts. It was CHRISTMAS! The
long, long night was over!
Come joyously to the church you love
best and worship this new-born King. He is
God’s Greatest Gift.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his Own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation, f'l)
For the sake of the Chufch itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church, regularly and read your
Bible daily.
