Mercer Murray shines as Georgia freshman star pivot to forward
Mercer Murray, a top local prep center, shifts to right forward for the Georgia freshmen and leads the team in scoring. Welbourne Venable, another former prep standout, also stars on the same squad. The Jackets suffer two narrow losses in early season battles, 20 to 19 to Mercer and 20 to 18 to Wofford, both slips coming late after early leads. Proceeds from a Tuesday charity game go to European relief, with teams pledging support for starving children. Riverside and Gordon Institute show strong showings in regional play as GT A A teams prepare for upcoming matchups. The University High Cadets, after a close opener against Marist, fail to deliver a blowout as expected.

Nashville January 15 Special Dec Berryhill captain elect of Vanderbilt football and star third baseman has been sold by the Memphis Southern league club to the Cincinnati Reds for more than 2000. He planned to stay out of pro baseball to join the Commodores in the fall but the big contract bid led him to switch to the majors.
