By the Associated Press.


ATHENS, Ga, Feb. Coach
Wallace Butts called up his Univer-
sity of Georgia football team for
spring practice today-but the roster
had scant resemblance to the Orange
Bowl Champions.
The starting team-including ALL
America frankie SinkWich, Lamar
Davis. and other stars-drew
blanket deferment from Butts while
he concentrated on drills for fresh
man and sophomore candidates.
Georgia's little round man, who
last year piloted the Bulldogs to the
schools first bowl invitation, said
juniors were being excused for two
or three weeks because they carried
most of the burden in the successful
conquest of Texas Christian Uni
versity in the Orange Bowl.
I'm fact" he said Il even may
excuse them for the entire practice
because those reserves sure need a
lot of work"
Eight of the eleven men who
started against T. c. U. will be
seniors next season. They include
Sinkwich and Davis, halfbacks; Ken
Keuper, fullback; George Poschner
and Van Davis, ends: Greene Kelt-
ner, tackle; Harry Kuniansky and

being experts in the matter are
ready to go all out on the hard-hlt-

have too much experience but too
much powder for the youngster and

knockout.
Beech is in excellent condition for
