At the 50 yard line their hopes
grew stronger and their gains
became correspondingly larger.
The A. & M. rooters, who had
maintained a funeral-like still
ness came forward to the side
lines with loud and lusty words
of encouragement. A down

a mass of legs and arms. A. &

The game was a very poor
one from the foot ball stand
! point. Georgia started off with
a rush that at first carried every
tiling before it,and went through
A. & M.’s line at will. Rut the
’Varsity soon let up and played
very poor ball. Fumbles were
frequent, there seemed to be no
interference, the tackling was
high, and in short the ’Varsity
did not play anything like the
game she should have played.
There was, of course, some lit
tle excuse for the poor playing,
but we should have won the
game by a score of something
like 20 to 0. The best playing
for Georgia was done by Put
nam and Ridley.

The Literary Club.
A most gratifying renaissance
of college spirit and intellectual
activity during the last few
weeks has resulted in the forma
tion of a literary club, which is
as yet unnamed. Over seventy-
live men have signified their in

Banquet of the Wiregrass Club.
The Wiregrass Club, a new
social organization, has now
reached a membership of fifteen.
The members met together at

tion circles every A. & M.
countenance. Welsch, the A.
A M. half back, was given the
ball on the third down. He I
made for the left end and a
Georgia player seized him. Two
of the A. & M. players were
quickly to his rescue 1 and pushed
him over with the pig skin safe
for a touch down.
The score was a tie. Welsch
responded to the occasion, kick-
a goal and thus added another
to A. & M’s string of victories.
Save for the last ten minutes,
the game, which was character
ized by the worst kind of play
ing. failed to develop much in
terest. Georgia scored in the
day night and enjoyed an He-1
gant banquet, of several hours
duration. Mr. Jack McCartney
acted as toast-master and a
number of bright and original
toasts were responded to, among
them the following :
The University—Walter
Hammond.
Woman—Reiner Denmark.
South Georgia—Morton Tur
ner.
The Real Thing—Irwin Mac
Intyre.
Tin* Wiregrass Club—Ralph
Graves.
Besides the purely social side
of the club, it has for its object
the advancement of the Uni-
the alumni of tin
old and young, that such a song
is ljf*eded, a verse or so at any
rate and that competition is
wanted, so that all who may be
interested in the matter mav
compete for the honor of writing
the college song. After the par
ticular verse has been chosen by
a committee, I am sure we could
find a member of our faculty
who would willingly write tin*
music for it.

This song could bo used at all
University celebrations, at
alumni dinners, Commencement
alumni meetings, glee ond other
musical concerts, as well as
athletic games, and as we are
approaching the centennial of
our University, it would be
none too early to set about work
now, and have it in readiness
for that time.

At a meeting held last Satur
day the club decided to revive
the late and by no means la
mented “Georgian,” but upon
an entirely different plan from
that heretofore in force. It was
thought best to entirely elimi-
