MUNICIPAL STADIUM, COLUMBIA, S. Oct. 5. Lack of practice doesn't bother Mister Frankie Sinkwich. The husky Youngstown lad who missed every drill except one this wTeek led a flaming Georgia Bulldog team to a 33-to-2 victory over South Carolina here this afternoon.

By JOHN MARTIN. 'A familiar drama with most of the script being saved for Notre Dame was rehearsed on sun-baked Grant field yesterday afternoon before 15,000 who got only an abbreviated preview of the Tech team of 1940. The Jackets kept their magic concealed far up their mustarcf-yellow sleeves as they defeated Howard College, of Birmingham, 27-0, in their opening game of the season. However, it took little Johnny Bosch, bigger and apparently better than last year, and -the other i 4 (, Jacket partners in magical may hem to- put the skids under the Bulldogs, who for nearly" a half ing to come oui of the ball game, led the white-shirted men of Wal-ly Butts to as convincing a triumph as ever played on this field.

Sinkwich amazed the crowd of some 10,000 with runs of 30 and 46 yards for touchowns. He passed 20 yards to big Carl Grate for another and came out of the game with the cheers of a South Carolina crowd ringing in his ears. LINE PLAY GREAT. The Bulldogs wore white jersies with candy stripes running vertically up the sleeves, but there was nothing candy-striped about their play. Led by Tommy Witt, Bobby Nowell, Gene Ellenson and Walter Ruark, Georgia line played the fighting Gamecocks off their feet and overwhelmed them by sheer power.

In the last two minutes of the game the CaroUnans got to the Georgia 23-yard line, but that was as close as they came to a touchdown all afternoon. The Bulldogs Were as tough as Slagtown pig iron. Bosch and his mates came in at the start of the second quarter and traveled 96 yards to a touchdown. ATTACK BOTTLED. After this the Baptists from Birmingham were hanging on wherever they could and fighting hard to hold the score down.

It isn't often that this correspondent can lay claim. to expert picking of football games.

It only grieves us that we failed to select LaFayette over New York University. LaFayette, here we come with heartiest congratulations. Our heart bleeds for Dr. Mai Stevens, that charitable gentleman who accused Georgia football players of so much dirty work before last year's game. One may now expect to read where little LaFayette manhandled the hapless Violets.

So far as this corner is concerned, the LaFayette victory is the greatest of the year. It would be interesting to hear the doctor explain that one to the alumni. There are no excuses for three picks of tough games. Without the aid of crystal ball or otherwise, the nod was given Auburn, Clemson and Tennessee. Each won handily.

Majority of experts selected Duke and North Carolina and many liked Tulane to bounce back over Auburn. It was the first time Auburn had scored on Tulane in four years. Even our own Mr. Williamson chose Duke and North Carolina State. The 'reasoning, at pointed -out yesterday, was not very clear.

Watch out for Tennessee. The Vols look something like the team of two years ago, if not more so, and the impressive victory over a highly touted Duke team will make them tough to get along with in the Southeastern conference. The Vols more than likely will lind in one of the better bowls as the result pf the conclusive triumph today. An Eye Opener spending the night at a tourist camp or some other such spot outside of crowded Knoxville. Instead, we were guests of Mayor and Mrs.

Rip Blair at a fine buffet dinner in Marietta and afterwards attended a splendid game of football Jbetween Fulton and Marietta high schools. It was an eye-opening experience, the visit to Ma- rietta upon the invitation of Frank Wellons. In 1938, the citizens of Marietta voted an bond issue. i With the aid of this bond Marietta high school children today have one of the finest athletic plants in the entire state. Northcutt field, the football stadium, is second to none.

The field itself is comparable to Grant or Sanford' fields where Tech and Georgia play. There is a concrete stand, on one side and temporary wooden stands on the other. All Northcutt field lacks that the college fields have is as many seats. A high rock wall runs all the way around the stadium. The field is finely lighted.

Friday's game was the first night game in the city's history and it was played before capacity crowd. Not a man or woman in the crowd who voted for bonds failed to thrill when Mayor Blair made the dedi-. catory speech and turned the keys over to Judge H. Hawkins, president of the board of education. Bonds also provided a fine swimming pool and a handsome recreation center, named in honor of the late Thomas M.

Atlanta people might think this over. They might give a thought to the physical size of Atlanta as compared with Marietta, and yet realize how much "larger" Marietta really is than the Gate City of the South.

Size is relative and depends upon the viewpoint. mirw TTc TTri Mayor Rip Blair said he hoped, At-oiiuv up lanta friends wouldn't be offended when he pointed out in his dedicatory address that children of our neighbor to the south are going to schooljn wooden barracks." There is no reason for Atlanta friends to be offended. They should be ashamed. Atlanta voters turned thumbs down on bonds. I am proud to know fellows like Mayor Rip Blair, Frank Wellons, Otis Brumby and other fine citizens who have contributed so much in the forging of another link in the chain of city progressiveness in Ma-, rietta.

You must like the spirit of the mayor. When work was begun on Northcutt field, Mayor Rip Blair insisted the gridiron be at least as good as the one at Tech flats. So, to make sure, VV. A. Alexander was called in for consultation.

The result is that the gridiron has the same sod and the same effective drainage system as Grant field. No high school, team in the state has a field as good. It would pay Atlanta voters who don't Uiink worth-while to visit -Marietta some time. Any city can be thankful for a mayor and city council as thoughtful as Marietta's. And any city can be thankful for such a progressive citizenry.

v. Northcutt field, the swimming pool and recreation center represent only a part of the good done by the bonds. Among other things there is the improvement of school buildings and facilities for the children. Marietta doesn't stop here. The groundwork merely has been prepared.

The work has just begun. i sty. the way. Beers was not five yards rose up and tossed them back and finally ended the game, holding the ball on the Carolina 20-yard strip. Sinkwich wasn't the whole show but he was a great part of it.

WERBER LEADS ATTACK, As usual the leader of the Cincinnati club was Bill Werber, who went to the plate five times and got on base four -with two singles and two walks. He waited out a pass to start the game and after he had been forced by Mike McCormick, little Ival Goodman slammed the first pitch into the left-field corner for a double and a run. Goodman went to third on an infield out and scored himself when Pinky Higgins let a grounder, by Jim Ripple get through him for an error.

Trout was touched for two singles in the second without damage, but in the third Goodman led off ith a sizzling single to right center and on the hit and run went to third as Frank (Buck) McCormick singled to right. Ripple doubled along the left field foul line to score Goodman and put McCormick on third, and send the bespectacled righthander plodding to the showers. Clay Smith, who went to the rescue, squeezed out of the jam by forcing two players to pop up, purposely passing Billy Myers to fill the bases and then making Derringer lay down an easy grounder.
