MAJOR KIMBROUGH CALL
ED FOR DUTY IN CUBA

isis would hurt somebody before they
quit- lough link llcisman, but
i maybe the soldiers will be back in
I time to play baseball tor you.
The battalion was in process of
organization and Major Kimbrough
was busy with preparation for the fol
lowing year’s work when, on last I
Sunday, the order came from the
War Department at Washington for
him to leave bis duties here, report
at once to his regiment at Newport
News, Va., and be ready at a
moments notice to sail from there to
Cuba.
This came as a blow not only to
the student body and to the faculty,
but also to the many townspeople
whom the Major has met and made
his friends, during his residence in
Athens.
Expressions of regret were beard
on every side, and the Major was
kept busy answering inquiries from
his friends as to the truth of the un
welcome news. He confirmed it as
, correct, but said that it the trouble
in the island be of short duration, he
will probably return to Atht'ns and
take up his duties as commandant
once mote. He said that this is by
no means a certainty, but the boys
grasped it as the only straw of hope,
and are wishing for a speedy close to
the tem|>est in a tea pot which the
unruly islanders have so foolishly
hatched up.
The officers of the batallion, de
siring to express through some token
of regard their high esteem for the
Major, purchased a beautiful watch
charm and fob, and Chancellow Har
row was asked to present it to him in
chapel Monday morning. This he
did in his most earnest manner, as
suring Major Kimbrough that the
highest respect and most sincere love
of the officers and student body as a
whole were represented in the little
gift. He then went on to say that,
like the charms of olden days, he be
lieved this one, representing as it
does the admiration and love of so
many men, will prove an inspiration
and as well as a pleasure to its own-
ner wherever he may be.
The Chancellor then spoke of the
unknow n perils into which our friend
was about to go, and touchingly in
voked for him the protection of a
kind and all-wise Providence.
Major Kimbrough tried to respond
at this time, but his emotions were
too great, and he first had to dry two
great tears which had swelled up in
response to the tribute of love so
touchingly paid him. And other
cheeks than his were wet at that
time. It is painful indeed to say
farewell to a friend who is going into
certain danger and possible death,
and he who is not moved then, is
cold for all time.
He spoke his appreciation in words
that could not be misunderstood,
saying finally that wherever his duty
Davidson Comes Saturday for Hard Game.

caps Football Practice. Tennis
Tournament Postponed
Next Saturday afternoon eleven
husky young giants from Davidson
will appear on Herty field to stack up
against the Georgia team, and every
body wants to be on the field to
cheer our boys on. Davidson has a
fine team and it is up to the rooters
to do their part. Show the boys
how proud you are of the gallant
way they are going to go that fine
team one better.
Hy all means bring your pennant
with you, but be sure that your
throat is in good screeching order,
for the visitors sport the same colors
that Georgia is so proud of, and there
must be not the slightest doubt in
their minds as to whom you are
backing.
The yells on the football field
sound out good and strong every
afternoon, but we notice that every
one does not join in and that there is
no special leader. This is a depart
ment that calls for concerted action
as well as any other, and we respect
fully suggest that President Talmadge
see to this at once.
The first game of the season comes
off next Saturday and Georgia wants
*o make a great show. The rooters
must be organized and practiced
every day next week. Now President
Talmadge’s great popularity with the
student body has been shown by the
large vole he polled, and his person

While we console ourselves with
tile fact that it might have been
worse and acknowledge that on the

to a little hankering after the am

mighty Heston who is to coach them
this year, and then proceeds to
spread himself ihusly:
“Our game with the University of
Georgia, is a new game, and as our
last year’s coach is training Georgia,
it wili make our joy complete to lick
’em both. Guess our team composed
of many of last year’s squad will take
great delight in giving Whitney’s
squad a thorough drubbing.’’

now.
