Georgia TecH's
Take Sugar Bowl Casually
- (This is first ol a series on
lh teams in tha major 1956
iictiia.ll games.)
By BILL FERGUSON
Atlanta (U.PJ Georgia Tech
considers Gator Bowl foe Pitts
burgh one ill the toughest teams
in the ration, but you'd never
guess it from the casual and con
finerA way the "Engineers are
preparing for their record sixth
raii;ht bowl appearance.
The Engineers' will pass up
most of their time for practicing
i favor of a Jong Christmas va-1
cation. I hey re not exactly cocky
even tifough Coach Bobby Dodd
freely admits, that his once-beaten
1!56 team is .the best he's ever
coached.
Add to this the fact that Tech
worPt scrimmage once before the
Dec. 29 kickoff in Jacksonville,
I Fid., and it might appear that
I Dodd is taking Pittsburgh light
ly. . Sixth Post-Season, Trip
Iowever, it's bowl business as
usual ft the veteran Tech team,
which not only is making its
six:. straight post-season trip
but is looking for its sixth
straight win.
The Erineers will get in little
more than one week of practice
ind curing that time, Dodd will
a stick to his regular season rule
that limits all of the lough stuff
3 to Sat: day stadiiJm appear
ances. After a 10-day Yule holiday,
Tech probably will get in one
or t'.fco days of practice before
having for Jacksonville and
theif second straight bowl mec-t-'ng
wfth Pittsburgh.
The system of not too much
work before a bowl game has
paid off for Doilri, who has man
agtI seven wins in seven tries,
including a 7-0 win over Pitts
burgh isi, the Sugar Bowl last
January. "
Ratw '56 Team Best
"I figur a team is just about
as shrp as you can get it after
ca full season," .Dodd said, "and
it doesn't take too much work to
make it stale. After all. they've
"been, living football since Sep
tember." Tiie Engineer head man, who
has won 100 games and lost only
28 at Georgia Tech, rates the '56
4em superior even to his 1952
'tem which won 11 of 11 in
the regular season and then
swamped Mississippi in the Sugar
BovW. .
Although tle Engineers lost
one game, 6-0 to Tennessee, they
scored 227 points in 10 games
"while holding the opposition to
armere 33. . .
cThe defensive strength is an
chored by all Southeastern Con
ference performers, guard Allen
Ecker aad center Don Stephen
son, and super-safety-man Wade
Mitchell.
Feature Running Game
i Offensively, Tech features a
ISAf 7W STOCK
Corrvertible Tops
Engineers
running game with a wealth of
halfbacks, George Volkert, John
ny Menger and Paul Rotenberry
to name a few. and fullbacks
Ken Owen and Dickie Mattison.
The passing of Mitchell and
quarterback Toppy Vann keeps
the opposing defense "honest."
Tech will be in top physical
condition with everybody ready
to go. but despite outward ap
pearances, isn't taking Pitt
lightly.
"Pittsburgh looks like one of
the best teams we've faced this
v
ear, and certainly the rough
est," Dodd said after watching
the Panthers down Miami on tel
evision. "They are improved
over last year, with more speed
and they gave us a fit in the
Sugar Bowl."
Tech beat Pitt by one touch
down after a disputed pass inter
ference call gave the Engineers
the ball on the Pitt one and set
up the game's only score.

Butte Falls
Butte Falls Prospect over
came a seven-point deficit in the
fourth quarter to slip by Butte
Falls high 43 to 39 in a non
league cage fracas here last
night.
The home club took a 19 to 11
first quarter lead and was oh top
until Prospect tied up the score
at 39-each midway through the
last quarter.
Butte Falls outshot the Cou
gars in the first half but in the
final portion of the game, when
the Loggers slowed the action in
an attempt to control the ball
and hold the lead, their defense
failed to hold up. Leo Daniels,
scoreless in the first half, got
17 points in the second half for
Prospect.
The Loggers were hurt when
they lost guard Mike Conley on
fouls near the end of the first
half.
Half time score was 25 to 18
and after three quarters it was
37 to 30.
Jerry Dillen rolled up 32
points as Butte Falls won the
junior varsity game 55 to 30.

Over Phoenix
Eagle Point Eagle Point
whipped Phoenix high 43 to 29
here last night to even the score
for a basketball setback at Phoe-
1 nix last week end.
The playmaking of Ron Veach
and Dennis Boren and the re
bound retrieving of Jack Greb
sparked the triumph. Boren
scored 13 points and Greb 11.
Gary Simmonds led the Phoenix
club with his ball handling and
11 points.
The Eagles used a loose man-to-man
or "floating" defense in
holding down the Pirates. Phoe
nix was forced to do much of
its shooting from long range. It
made only nine field goals in 50
tries last night. Eagle Point con
trolled the backboards.
Period advantages for Eagle
Point were 10 to 5, 22 to 12 and
31 to 20.
The Eagles also won the jay
vee preliminary, 53 to 17, with
Bill Turner getting 12 points.

On Lavson's Field Bucket

last night and enabled the Lum
berjacks to sweep their two
game basketball series with the
Red Raiders of the Rogue...
Humboldt won Monday 61 to
56.
Southern Oregon made a
tougher game of it last night
than on Monday. The Raiders
outgained the 'Jacks from the
field and bettered them on the
backboards. But the tussle was
lost at the free throw line where
the Ashlanders had a bad night.
The home club was 29 to 25
leader in the contest at half
time and stayed on top during
the first 10 minutes of the final
canto. Count in the middle of
the last half was 41 to 39. Don
Jacobs on a long swisher made
it 43 to 39. But shots by Hank
Cooper and Grant Erhart made
it 43-all. Then with 7 minutes
22 seconds played two free
tosses by Cooper made it 45 to
43 for a Humboldt lead.
Lead Switchei
Erhart hit from the field for
47 to 43. Don Reese got a gift
heave and Norm Oliva two of
them for SOC and Reese con
nected on a fielder for a Raider

edge of 43 to 47. Four minutes
were left to play. Erhart put
HSC back on top 49 to 48. Law
son goaled from afield and from
the charity line for 52 to 48.
With 1:30 to play Chuck Cran
dall of Southern Oregon cut the
gap to 52 to 50. Then with a
minute remaining Reese knotted
the game at 52-each.
Ten seconds were left in the
tussle when Norm Oliva missed
a first free shot and made a
second try. That gave SOC a 53
to 52 margin. But Lawson then
denied the Raider victory hopes.
'Jacks Head by 7
Humboldt took an early 5 to
2 lead in the mix but SOC
pushed in front by counts of 8 to
5 and 10 to 7. Then with 14
minutes played in the opening
half Humboldt was in front 14
to 10. The 'Jacks' advantage was
then pushed to 21 to 14 for
the widest bulge of the night.
SOC fought back with Reese,
Dale Bates and Jacobs hitting
from the field. Oliva then
hooked in a bucket for a 22
to 21 Raider lead. The Ashland
club jumped the score to 29
to 23 before two free shots by
Warren Baker brought the tally
to the halftime standing.
Southern Oregon made 22 out
of 47 field goal tries for .468
while Humboldt connected on
20 of 55 for .363. However, the
Raiders got only nine of 24 for
.375 average from the free line
while HSC collected 14 for 22
or .653.
The Raiders had the rebound
edge 43 to 28 with Oliva con
trolling the ball on 18 occasions.
Humboldt controlled most of the
jump balls.
In the prelim the Raider jun
ior varsity scored another win
over Central Oregon Community
college. t
Southern Oregon plays its
alumni here on Friday night.
