Help out the Athletic Association
next Monday.
On Monday the ’Varsity place
will be turned over to the Athletic
Association, and it is hoped that a
good sum will be thus realized. Let
I every man in college patronize thu
’Varsity Place liberally on that day,
for by so doing he will greatly aid
the Association. Let him show his
appreciation of the exertions of the
member* of the Council and let him
join in with them in their laudable
purpose of fleeing the Association
from a debt wliicli, if not soon can*
celled, will forever be » stain upon
the fair name of the University as

lie sure to g<> to the’Varsity Place
Monday.
According to the regulations re
cently adopted by the Athletic
Council for the government of the
llan anii Hi.ack, tin board of
editors enters with this issue and
continues in office till the last Sat
urday. in, November.
The editors now in charge of the
’'fm ash UtACK are the same ns

It is our earnest desire to keep
the Hki> ANI< III ACK upon the lofty,
dignified plane it li is occupied hi
the pist, and we sincerely hope
that we may succeed in our efforts.
Though being under the official
control of the Athletic Association,
our columns shall not he devoted
entirely to Athletics, hut^c shall
always endeavor to advance, in any
possible way, all other praiseworthy
interests of the college, and we
shall strive to be a true representa
tive of every phase of our college
life. We tru«t that wo may receive
the hearty oo operation of the en
tire slit'lent - body and that we mav
t
prove satisfactory to them in every
respect. If, at any time, anything
should prove displeasing, a sugges
tion given to any of the editors
would he gratefully received and
considered in the same spirit in
which it is given.
It is a well-known fact that the
Athletic Association is deeply in ar
rears, and it is perhaps equally ns
well known that the members of
the Athletic Council are making the
most earnest efforts to cancel this
debt. They have contrived schemes
of various kinds to wipe away the
heavy clouds of debt hanging over
the Association's head, and to a cer
tain degree have been very success
ful. They have reduced the debt
from loth* to about #350, and the
goo.) work still continues.
The “Ilall and Campus”columns
•of the Atlanta Constitution,conduct
ed by a distinguished representative
of Kmory College, are devoted, as
far as we are able to find, to ath
letics in the North. We notice,
however, one slight exception to
ibis rule. In last Sunday’s Consti
tution. the distinguished young rep-
sentativa of Kmory, who lias been
called wj know not whether it
was done sarcastically —“ the Cas
per Whitney of the South,” made a
lengthy review of different athletic
events at Yale, Harvard, Cornell
and other Northern colleges, and
then remarked that “in the South”
the e/iyames a! Kmory were in
creasing in interest.
's it that such slight men-
Moil is made of Southern colleges
and especially of the University of
(iuorgia by a paper which claims
to lie the representative paper of
the Stale of Georgia I* Is it because
their fin• iiuiit correspondent con
siders Southern athletics in a state
of such utter debility that they are
unworthy of notice, but are rttlicr
deserving of bis haughty contempt?
Hut surely such cannot he the ease,
for lie di toles a quarter of a column
to I'nlory's class yames. In behalf
of Southern oolleges and Southern
athletics we most humbly beg “this
recognized authority" to mark the
advancement of Southern athletics-
and not to look dow n upon them
with such utter contempt.
It is perhaps generally known
that eight tuedals have been offered
by the Trustees, one for the best de
bater in each of the classes of the
two societies. In giving these med
als, the Trustees desire to show the
deep interest they lake in the wel
fare of the societies, and it is no
more than right for us to prove our
appreciulioiwto them for their kind
action.
We hope that the different class
es will take this matter in band and
give it tlieir calm consideration, and
then we have no doubt but that the
debates will occur with more than4
usual interest. In this way we can
show the Trustees our appreciation
for their thoughtfulness in our be
half and for their concern regard
ing the prosperity of the societies.
It is a matter of general regret
w ait...
,..e able Kditor in-
that the Manager of the Track
Team lias decided not to take the
men to the Inter-collegiate Field
Day in Nashville on May loth. The
reason for so doing is owing to the
fact that there were not a sufficient
number of men training and pre
paring for the different events. It
is inexplicable wliv men will go in
training and remain so for about
two months, in order to win an in
significant prize, while they will
not take the trouble or the time to
prepare for a contest in which they
liavt a eKance to make a reputation
not only for themselves, but also
for the University of which they
are members.
In the beginning of the season,
the ’Varsity did not come up to the
high expectations of some of its
most ardent admirers, and there
seemed to he general disappoint
ment. There appeared to he some
discordant feelings among the dif
ferent players, and there was lack
ing that unity which is absolutely
essential for good team-work.
The men of \lie college at large,
either through a feeling of disap
pointment or of playfulness, have
frequently resorted to the unpatri
otic style of guying the ’Varsity.
This, perhaps as much as anything
else, has caused our color.", this sea
son to be dragoe.i in the dust of de
feat.
Hut now, the members of the
team have cast aside their prejudi
ces and ill-will, and are thoroughly
nroused to the high, duty incum
bent upon them, and are fully
determined that Georgia's colors
shall wave victoriously above all
others.
So let us, the members of the
student-body, not only in obligation
to the ’Varsity for the time and
trouble they have taken in our be
half, but *lso in the nobler and
more elevated spirit of college love
and college patriotism, give our
hearty co-operation and encourage
ment to them, and show them that
we are gratefully appreciative for
their noble w ork.
