Wi/berf Jones, engaged in a battle for the "loose one."
Melvin Jones, Albany State College's All-American basket ball star, capped his four-year cage career with another out standing season as he paced the "running, gunning" Rams to a banner 32 and 8 season.
The 6-9 center from AAcGhee, Ark., set a new single season rebounding record with 920 grabs for an average of 23.0 re bounds per game. His career rebounding mark is 2,068 rebounds in 112 games for a phenomenal four-year per game average of 18.4.
Named to the Atlanta Journal's All-Georgia teams this year, along with teammate Mack Daughtry, Jones, described by his coach, Bob Rainey, as the "Bill Russell of the South," blocked an average of 11.1 shots per game this season. His sparkling play was the main cog in the Rams' hurry offense. With Jones' rebounding, the ASC warriors ran relentlessly, averaging 101.1 points a game for the season.
Against a tall, talented Bethune-Cookman, Jones had the best game of his career. In addition to tossing in 17 points, he snatched 32 rebounds, blocked 18 attempted shots and held Bethune-Cookman's 6-11 Curtis Fuller to mere 8 points.
Mack Daughtry, making the All-Georgia mythical team for the second straight season, closed out a four-year career at Albany State with a total of 1,876 points. His total of 821 markers this season for a 20.5 average per contest is believed to be a new single-season record at ASC.
The 6-3 backcourt wizard, referred to as the "man with the golden moves," put the "gun" in Rams' attack. His other career marks include 931 field goals and 238 free throws.
In addition to Daughtry and Jones, Jimmy Reams (12.7), Ted Anderson (8.7) and John Davis (8.9) concluded their col lege careers at ASC.
Met Jones, ASC's all-time rebounding leader . . . 2,068 in 112 games.

IN ROSEMOND
By STEVE CLARKKen Rosemond became part
of the world population one year after the Stock Market Crash of '29. His personal stock has been a fluctuating series of ups and downs ever since.
At the time being, Rose- mond's stock is up — way up. He has just coached the Uni versity of Georgia basketball team to a 17-8 record, the school's first winning season in 17 years. And the Bulldogs' strong Southeastern Confer ence finish has once-cynical Georgia fans dreaming of fu ture SEC championships.

For resurrecting a basket ball ghost ... for bringing about a completely new out look on life-after-football in Athens, the 38-year-old North Carolina native is an over whelming choice as The Jour nal's College Coach of the Year in the state of Georgia. •
Tlie Journal's annual All- State college team — expand ed to a 10-player.list this year — features a talented array of athletes who helped make this one of the finest basket ball seasons ever in the Peach Slate. If you doubt that, real ize that three Georgia schools
are involved in national play- offs right now — Albany State and Valdosta State in the NAIA tournament and Ogle- thorpe in the NCAA small col lege playoffs.
Repeating as captain of the all-state team is Georgia Tech's Phil Wagner, the 6-2 senior guard and captain who is generally regarded the best all-around performer ever at Tech.
Hounded by a bothersome stomach injury most of the winter, Wagner still managed' to average 19.6 points per game, the third best scoring
average in Tech's history. Inthroe years, Wagner score? 1,189 points (fourth best in school history) for a 17.8 ca reer average. He set a career field goal shooting percentage record (50.6) and he holds the career and season records for assists.
"Phil's value to Georgia Tech is not measurable," said Coach Whack Hyder.
Two other repeaters from last year's five-man all-star squad join Wagner — senior guards Mack Daughtry of Al bany State and Doug Alex ander of Billy Carter's Oglc- thorpe team.
The 6-3 Daughtry, the man with the golden moves, is Al bany State's leading scorer of all time (1,868 points). This season he averaged 20.8 points as Albany State raced to a 32-7 record and into the NAIA tournament.
Alexander, a product of Cross Keys High School, broke Tommy Norwood's all-time Oglethorpe scoring record while leading the Stormy Petrels to a 20-5 record and an invitation to the NCAA small college playoffs.
Norwood, now an Oglethorpe assistant, was captain of The Journal's All-State team in 1961-62.
To build a great team, you must start with a big man. This all-star tram includes two — 6-11 Bob Lienhard of Georgia and 6-9 Mel Jones of Albany State.
Lienhard, a sophomore with great potential, set six Geor gia records and was THE reason the Bulldocs had so
PHIL WAGNERaveraged 21.3 points and rebounds, causing Coat Rosemond to say: "Bob ' rewrite the Georgia book before he is through.^
Jones, described by Robert Rainey as the Russell of the South," not have impressive credentials (10.9-point age), but his defensive tics are something else — J rebounds and 11.1 bloc] shots per game. He hasj scouts excited.
Others on the team inch Augusta's Steve Brown, a] sophomore who aver points to lead the J their finest season < 6); Ray Jeffords of Gcor; • the powerful 6-4 senior w.'_: the iron jaw whose ag sive defensive play attra the Atlanta Faicons at pro football draft time; Price, a 6-3 junior who Berry to a 20-8 season: MiV» Terry of Valdosta, a four-vr.' starter called a "fantas 1 . shooter" by Coach Gary ( son, and Earl Holmes, a k. tling guard who played ir key role in LaGrange's m<> victorious (18-10) season eu
Price's 21.7 scoring aver > is the best of the b; ' more than a scorer ; low, who was voted the Georgia Inter- Conference (GIACi t in a row. Says Berry C... Larry Taylor: "Price is . of the best athletes ever compete in this state. > holds the GIAC cross coun try record."

Greek organizations are societies designed for the social and scholastic benefit of its members, and is founded
upon the bond of brotherhood.The evolvement of fraternities and sororities has been gradual. In early stages, Greeks formed their alliances se
cretly, since the schools banned any such group. Today, most colleges endorse the organizations, and the fraternities, in
return, have given allegiance to the schools. The Greek organizations have become part of the backbone of school
spirit.
