SUMMER BALL
Now t lint t he season is over, we
turn our eves to the future und
look forward to u successful team
f.*r next year. Wt^hurt to begin
the next season with no fears
and rangliug nhout eligibility.
That always dcinorali/c athletics
for the time being, ami it is a
fill on the athletic field, get in a
position to lie utile to do all in
your power to bring about the
success.
We produce the article of the
S.I. A. A. constitution, relating to
summer hall playing, and let
every man in college read it and
understand what it means.
Remember fellows, Georgia
needs every one who can possibly
make good, and its up to you to
observe this rule.
Sec. 17. A person, who after
entering college in this Associa
tion plays on any summer base
ball team other than his home
team, or who receives, while
playing with his home team,
more than his actual expenses,
shall be ineligible to participate
in any branch of sport on a team
of this Association. His “home
team” shall he defined as the
team of the town or the com
munity where he lias had legal
residence for at leust one year
and is still a resident. (This
rule to apply only to 190(5 and
thereafter. |

A SUGGESTION
We understand that there is a
system at Georgetown, and the
same may be true of other col
leges, wnieli if carried into effect
at Georgia might mean a finan
cial gi|in to Athletics at the Uni
versify.
The system is this At (lie
beginning of each scholast ic year,
each man is taxed for an utlile-
tif fee. The amount of this fee
_ ■■■ v- *"‘ c
state ol allairs which should Timid be determined on after a
Athletics are for all the
students and the privoledge of
enjoying and participating in
athletics is open to the whole
student body, and why should
not each man hear his pro rata
share, instead of putting it up to
only a portion of the students.
There is a great number of men
in college who never attend ath
letic contests and those are the
very men this system is intended
to cover. It is not merely for
the benefit of the men on the
team, or only a part of the col
lege, but it is for the bene
fit of the whole college that
athletics are made justifiable,
and for this reason every man
should he willing to bear his prrt
of the burden. Then again, every
man would he given value re
ceived in return, so it is not a
charity” scheme at all.
This suggestion can he taken
for just what it is thought to lie
worth, and the Red and Black
would gladly give space on this
page for any one who wishes to
express his opinion on this sub
ject.
Of course everyone understands
that this matter could not lie cur
ried through by the students
It is a matter to he settled by
the trustees, but if the student
body and faculty could be per
suuded that this is a wise plan it
would doubtless be* c a - * r i e d
through.
COACH
The beautiful chain presented
Here’s good luck and success
to Coach with the team of 1907.
always be avoided. It would he
a handicap to the coueh and
team, il, ns soon as the season
begins, for some man to be pro
tested and thrown off, if that
particular mail was one who
meant a great deal toward the
getting out of a successful team.
I herefore, it is up to every man
in college who expects to trv for
or hold his place on the team, to
observe the summer ball rule
most rigidly. Georgia needs each
and everyone of you. Its up to
us to down the mighty (?) Ileis-
man next year, ami hoys, its up
t<> everyone of us to do our part.
If you play summer ball, for
tin* sake of thi* old Red and
Black, observe the rules most
closely, If you must make money
during the summer, make it by
means other than playing ball.
I.et your loyalty to old Georgia
be substantial and stand for
.until.. thing. Let your spirit count
careful investigation and plan
ning. That lee would entitle
every student to attend all ath
letic games without further
charge, also make him a member
of the Athletic Association for
that year.
This system would serve as a
two-fold benefit. In the first
place, it would, without a doubt,
result in a financial gain for the
Athletic Association, for even if
the charge for each game would
not amount to fifty cents, as is
now the case, yet the increase in
number of students paying would
more than make up this dif
ference. The second benefit is
this—The new system would re
sult in a larger attendance of the
student body, and in that way
would give more rooters at the
games and would doubtless re
sult in an increase of college
spirit.
to Goacli Stoucli last Tuesday
was a fitting testimony of the
esteem we have for the Coach
and our appreciation of his con
sistent, honest, and successful
work
“Tommie” has only been with
us a short while, yet he has
already won us heart and soul
We hated to give up our own
Marvin Dickinson, but if anyone
can take his place in our hearts
that one is “Tommie” Stoucli
We like his genial nature, his
class of work, and we like his
fighting spirit.
The work of Coach Stoucli has
been of high class and satis
factory. ’Tis true we lost to
Tech, but that was entirely due
to hard luck coming at the wrong
time. We believe our coach can
down Heisman in a straight
game of baseball, and we believe
he will do it too. Why, we feel
no hesitancy in saying, that as a
matter of fact “Tommie” Stouch
The baseball season is over,
and the team of 1900 goes down
in our athletic history as one of
the strongest that ever battled
for the Red anil Black. It was a
hard working team, a fast and
snappy team, and it was a team
full of Georgia grit.
The past season has, without a
doubt, been one of marked suc
cess. The percentage of games
won shows a season of good con
sistent and steady playing. Blit
the crowing climax which makes
the season a glorious success, was
the defeat of the Blue and Gray
of Georgetown, one of the
acknowledged leaders in the
East- When we hear of Penn
sylvania, we think of the famous
team of 1N97, but now when one
speaks of Georgetown it will
bring to our minds “King”
Arthur and his boys, and we
will sigh for a hand clasp of
the geniul “Tommie” Stoucli.
True it is, we lost the state
championship, but Tech won it
on luck, Of course luck helps to
make up baseball victories, hut 0
if our team is n better team than’
Ileisman’s we should give them
credit for it.
What is a measely state cham
pionship when compared to
recognition we have won. in
wider fields? What has Tech, or
any other S. I. A.A.«4eam got to
show against our rerord for this
season? When has Tech, or when
shall she ever get the scalps we
hung to our belt this season.
When it comes down to play
ing good and straight baseball
Georgia has the strongest S. L-
A. A. team for this year, but of
course when we go up against a
team trained to stand on its toes
and watch for every trick and
opportunity to catch an opponent
otl guard, its just a matter of
luck whether we win or loose,
and that is the facts of the case
in our loss of the state champion
ship.
But the season is over and the
games are won and lost, so here
is a toast of the whole student
body to each and every man, the
manager, captain ami coach, of
the team of 190(5.
Some may say that it is unjust
to m a material way, and remember to force a man to pay for the has played more baseball than
». that no matter what you do for privoledge of seeing athletic i Heisman ever saw, and knows
games when lie is not desirous of more about the game than Heis-
attending some. Of course there man has ever read about, and
is some truth in this contention,, therefore we trust in him to send
but there is another side to the Heisman and his clan dow n to
