Outstanding were Buck Stamps, Angelo Grenga in the quarterback slot, and Bartow Jenkins as line-backer. . . . West Georgia's TD was scored by Stamps on an oflf-tackle slant in the third quarter. Thrill of the game came when Bill Maier blocked a G. M. C. punt and almost broke loose for a touchdown. Georgia Military College (7) West Georgia College (6) * Angelo holds for Johnny. Sawyer, Ramos . . .

Things weren't helped any by an epidemic of food poisoning that ran amuck among the entire squad. Tennessee Wesleyan (44) West Georgia College (0) or man weather plus numerous injuries retained from the Wcsleyan fracas spelled the difference against Gordon's tricky "T", in spite of the spirited offensive drives of Kelly Grenga. Gordon (26) West Georgia College (0) Things began to look better in the game with Middle Georgia, though McCoy, Patterson, Angelo Grenga and others were still on the injured list. Middle Georgia's "T" edged out the Braves in a battle before stands packed with partisan fans. Middle Georgia (20) West Georgia College (6) Angelo Grenga junior College All -State 113 HrrnNG the smvi * ^ % Ray Rouinson Jiinii)] College All-Stafc End The Braves hit their expected stride against the Darlington Tigers in an event that featured a spectacular 4u-yard TD pass from A. Grcnga to Bill Smith. The Tigers' rated running back, Jake Rudolph, was stopped cold. West Georgia College (7) Darlington (7) The West Georgia gang dumped Troy State in what could be conservatively called an "upset." All of this, even though the squad was down to its lowest level, created a situation expected to be a demoralizing factor. Robinson shone as he caught passes thrown by Grenga. The lad was especially outstanding when in one instance he faked a lateral, which completely fooled the defensive halfback, and raced 3 5 yards for a TD. Receipts from the game were for the benfit of the Dothan Lions' Blind Fund. West Georgia College (21) Troy (13) William Traylor 114 Once again a muddy field was a factor in a W. G. C. game, but this time the situation was different as the Braves romped over the boys from St. Bernard. Buck Stamps received a lateral from Angelo Grenga in the first quarter and scored on a new play especially designed to hit pay dirt. The second touchdown was made by Kelley Grenga on on a 9-yard off-tackle dash. ' West Georgia College (12) St. Bernard (6) Though they came out on the short end of the score, the Braves played one of their outstanding games toward the end of the season against Jacksonville State Teachers. The first W. G. C. tally was made by Stamps on a 3 5-yard dash from inside tackle in the second quarter. Buck hit pay dirt again on a lateral from Grenga in the third. Jacksonville (31) West Georgia College (12) Mac McCoy Last game of the regular season was a tlirill- packed "Thanksgiving Day Special" against a highly rated South Georgia team, played before what was probably the largest crowd ever to witness a grid- iron event in Carrollton. The Braves put on a bit of "razzle-dazzle" reminiscent of the famous Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech as Angelo Grenga looped the ball to Buck Stamps from the South Georgia H-Nard line for a W. G. C. tally in the first period. The same combination of fellows did J. C. Hi N TON 116 it again in the final quarter, this time from the ten. South Georgia received the ball deep in the Braves' territory in the fourth period by virtue of a pass ruled complete, though it appeared to many to be a West Georgia interception. After a 15-yard penalty which put the visitors still deeper in the defending team's territory. South Georgia scored, and the game ended shortly afterwards. TOBACCO V is m r > rs^ '%^ TOBACCO The Braves polished off a fitting close to a great season when they created "Tobacco Bowl" in Tifton, Georgia, after defeating Norman fracas, but, for one reason or another, refused. The first W. G. C. on a short plunge over left tackle from the two-yard line in the yards or more by the same gentleman. Pity the poor field judge who off left tackle. The second touchdown was scored on a pass from defensive men on his way over from the ten. Ray kicked the extra "scored" by Angclo Grenga on a punt return of 80 yards, but was Robinson with an intercepted pass. This one was called back because This time the score was called back because of a ruling that Robinson Goza. At the time The Chieftain went to press word had been Tifton were by the Braves' fine game. In years to come the Tobacco West Georgia (13) BOWL BOWL became the first team to receive a victory trophy from the newly Park. South Georgia was invited to be the Braves' opponent in the touchdown was made by the team's new bridgegroom, Kelly Grenga, first quarter. This trip into pay dirt was set up by two runs of twenty got in Kelly's way! "Tip" Goza also had a part with a 2 5 -yard gain Angelo Grenga to Ray Robison, who stiflf-armed two Norman Park point. West Georgia had three touchdowns called back. One was nullified by a clipping penalty. Another was "scored" by Johnny of offsides. Goza took a lateral from Robinson for number three, did not have full possession of the ball at the time that he lateraled to received by Coach Wheby of how completely taken the townspeople of Bowl will continue to pit two fine junior college teams against each other.
