HALFBACK FRED BROWN BREAKS INTO THE GEORGIA TECH SECONDARY AND GALLOPS THIRTY-THREE YARDS FOR GEORGIA ' S CLINCHING TOUCHDOWN. Georgia Strikes Gold Again; Defeats Tech 16-3 TN JAM-PACKED Sanford Stadium, the Bull- -■- dogs left no doubt as to who was the best foot- ball team in the state. Theron Sapp gained 103 yards and Fred Brown 80 to lead a ground attack that was so powerful that the ' Dogs didn ' t have to attempt but three passes. The first quarter ended in a scoreless deadlock. But midway the second, tackle Larry Lancaster blocked a Tech punt, and Jimmy Vickers picked it up and raced 20 yards into the end zone. With 45 seconds left in the half, Dave Lloyd toed a 20-yard field goal, set up by the bull-like rushes of fullback Sapp. Georgia lost three fumbles in their own territory in the third quarter. The Georgia defense, however, which was great all day, thrust back every Tech attempt to score. The Jackets managed to net only the field goal. With four minutes left, Charley Britt inter- cepted a Howard pass and returned it to the Tech 34. From here the ' Dogs scored in two plays, with Fred Brown going the last 33 yards on a scintillat- ing TD run. It looked as though it would be a long winter in Jacketville. QUARTERBACKS Francis Tarkenton and Fred Braselton meet on field after game is over. Good sportsmanship has always prevailed in this big rivalry. GORDON KELLY anxiously looks at scoreboard to see how much time ' s left before game is over.

1 4 r . jWjjR Jr5 THERON SAPP, BEHIND THE ABLE BLOCKING OF GUARD PAT DYE, IS ABOUT TO BREAK LOOSE FOR ANOTHER LONG GAIN. V . riouo ' Georgia Runs Roughshod Over The Citadel, 76-0 THE BULLDOGS, growling as loud and fero- cious as they ever have, rolled over an outclassed Citadel team, 76-0. It was the highest point total scored by the ' Dogs in the last seventeen years. Coach Butts used every available player in order to hold the score down, but it did no good. This was the day that no Georgia player would be de- nied his share of the glory. The game was scheduled as a good warm-up for Tech, but instead it turned out to be a track meet for the ' Dogs. Georgia scored twice in the first quarter, three times in the second, three times in the third, and three times in the fourth in one of the greatest scoring sprees in all Bulldog annals. Statistics really tell the true story, as Georgia ground out 520 yards total offense to only 60 for the Citadel. I TOUCHDOWNS are the thing and Tonnmy Lewis is right in style as he runs thirteen yards through five Citadel tacklers to score a Georgia TD. OPEN MOUTHS seem to be the fad as Francis Tarkenton sweeps around his right end to score. 181

GEORGIA ' S DEFENSE rises +o the occasion again. Because of this fine ag- gressive line play, Tech ' s offense could manage only a meager field goal. HAPPY FAN gives out a big smile as the scoreboard reflects whose side he was on. THERON SAPP RUNNING AND GEORGIA TECH CHASING. THIS SAME THING WENT ON FOR TWO STRAIGHT YEARS. The United Press made it official, selecting The- ron Sapp as fullback on their 19 5 8 All-SEC team. Throughout the season, fans, sportswriters, and op- posing players had called Sapp the best fullback in the south. Sapp was also named to the All-Southern 1st team selected by the Augusta Herald, the All-SEC 2nd team by the AP, and he received a UP Honor- able Mention All-American. Captain Sapp was selected to play in two post season all-star games, and in these games he showed how good he really is. In the Blue-Gray game he gained 67 yards in 14 carries. He carried 23 times for 158 yards in the Senior Bowl, scoring two touchdowns. He was Most Valuable Back for the South in the Blue-Gray and tied with the opposing fullback for Most Valuable Back in the Senior Bowl. He was also picked to play in the College All-Star game against the Baltimore Colts. Cafit ThetcH St 183
