Bullpups Season Brightens Georgia ' s Football Future Georgia ' s fighting Bullpups closed out their season on a very successful note by downing Tech ' s Baby Jackets, 8-7. The Frosh played two other games, losing one to Clemson, 18-0; and the other to Auburn, 13-6. Several individuals were outstanding throughout the season and ap- pear to be headed for stardom on the varsity within the next three years. Billy Jackson, injured during most of the season, is destined for greatness at fullback. Wally Williamson, a tiger at guard, is given an excellent chance of breaking into the starting line next season. Cecil Lowery is a very bright halfback prospect, as are Don Blackburn and Jake Saye at quarterback. Bill Ivey, a big tackle, is slated for varsity action. Other Bullpups showed much ability during the season and are expected to help the Georgia cause.

Georgia Captain Don Soberdash and alternate Captain Jimmy Vickers flank the trophy emblematic of the S.E.C. Championship won by the 19 9 Bulldogs. 1959 Bulldogs Are One Of Georgia ' s Greatest Teams The 1959 University of Georgia Bulldogs have been ternned by Coach Butts and other sources around the country as one of the all-time great Georgia football teams. Truly this point can never be questioned — it may well be the greatest team in Georgia ' s history. The 1959 Bulldogs record bears them out as a group which stuck together through a rugged ten game schedule to gain recognition as the SEC champs. On January I, I960, they further added the Orange Bowl crown to their growing collec- tion. While achieving the national rating of fifth in the country, certain individuals made their mark on the football scene. Pat Dye, a junior guard from Augusta, was named to the Look All- American Team and the NEA second team. Pat was also a second team All-SEC choice. Two Bulldogs, quarterback Francis Tarkenton and end Jimmy Vickers, were named to both the AP and UPI All-SEC first teams. Vickers also participated in the hlula Bowl played in Hawaii. Tarkenton was chosen the SEC Back of the Year by the Atlanta Touchdown Club. Charley Britt, Bobby Vv ' alden, and Billy Roland were others named to All-SEC squads. Britt was named MVP for his great play in the Senior Bowl. Durward Pennington set a new percentage mark for PAT ' s, and Francis Tarkenton ' s pass completion record set a new SEC standard. Tarkenton was the leading passer in the Conference, and senior halfback Bobby Towns was the league ' s top pass receiver. Coupled with these fine individual accomplishments was de- termined teamwork which was the real reason that made the 1959 Bulldogs such a great team.
