IT Dill ONE'S IIEAltT IJOOD.
The fonlliall game Saturday on Sanford Pie Id
between the team from Sewanee and the Univer
sity of Georgia eleven did one's heurt good to
watch.
It was a game that nnv teams could he proud of.
Sewanee wan smarting under Ill-founded reports as
to the record of the men playing on the team.
Georgia had felt the lash of Ignominious defeat and
and Barely-earned victory a week later. The two
teams came together In the proper lighting spirit,
and a proper tight there was.
The unfortunate loss of temper by one man on
each siili' was one blemish, but the spirit shown In
the bleachers and grandstand was wholesome for
future cleanliness, and the apology by the Sewanee
man was sportsmanlike anil manly and it is well
to remember that one of the hardest things one ever
has to do Is to make apology.
The game taken as a whole was clean; It was
hard-fought; It had the uncertainty of real aport,
and the spectacular and brilliant (or those who
paid fhelr money to see It.
Incidentally we run congratulate our team on
their showing the coach modestly says it was the
team, and not he. At large, we can congratulate
ourselves on having seen such a game, which could
have been made better only by the Joys of a victory,
so nearly won, for us.
THE SAME THING, ONLY DIFFERENT.
Another conest will be staged In the University
chapel Wednesday afternoon, when the seniors of
the University elect the members of the Pandora
hoard for the year IS 13 from their classes.
The contest Is being hard fought. There is no
marshaling nnd drilling and commanding of co
horts. but the battle Is all the more bitter for the
uncertainty of the numbers on either side.
It Is hoped that the contest will be as clear, as
the one on Sanford Field last Saturday, and that
no apologies will need to be made when It Is over.
Lay on. Macduff—and may the best man. and
not the best politician, win!
ENTEK THE AUXILIARIES.
This Issue of The Red and Black announces the
plans for a play by the Thalians, and the first try
out of the Glee and Mandolin Club. The first re
ports o; the year will soon go out, the athletic work
of the University Is well under way, and It Is time
that these other outlets for surplus energy and op
portunities for finishing touches to the gentleman
should begin their work.
These two clubs have not always been In the
highest favor of the iaculty, nnd seldom have they
been accorded the full support of the student body,
but Rlnee they have been put on the same sound
: :isi; as athletics In respect to the qualifications for
participants, they will probably be looked upon
with more favor.
If is true that singing or play-acting may never
help a man much in the usual course of the aver
age profession, but It must be admitted it is these
little nloittcs that help to make the well-rounded
i ml foisted gentleman, In the commonly accepted
us of the word. The work lias a value to the
>oins man. In ■ ither club, and put to the proper
use. c. :i he made a great and much-valued help to
<ome of the courses in the University. The faculty
vvlil need no ursunsion to admit this much, and
if the new regulations will eliminate the larger por
tion of the evil features in tlnse two forms of
pleasure-work, the clubs will get a good start this
ear. to •one Into thi Ir own eventually.
It Is a good way to dispose of surplus energy;
the problem Is to let only those who have surplus
energy participate In them. It Is good training if
rightly spilled; the i pportunitles for rightly apply
ing It wIB bo greats ' if wholesome support is giv u
bv the student body.
Wo commend both organizations on their good
starts for the year, and bespeak, to both faculty
and students, a consideration that must result for
good to them both.
If you haven't any enemies, you'd better go out
and make a tew good ones, or you'll never be a
man.
I'llACTH At- SCIENCE IN KANSAS.
Kansas Is noted for many things, but the latest
Item of Interest to college students from that state
comes from Falrmount College, at Wichita. New
raps and gowns wore to be bought for the senior
class. Companies which furnish these things sent
samples. The ires blent of the senior class, a good
student In chemistry and evidently such a practical
man us one would expect to find In the Middle
West, tookthe pieces to a chemical laboratory and
made analyses of the cloths sent as samples.
This student—Howard Hodgson. If you care to
remember It when you see his name in real news
paper headlines some day—found out how much
wool and how much cotton there was In the sam
ples of all-wool cloth; he found out what dyes wee
used, which would be "fast" and which woul l be
so fast as to rot the cloth. He gave the results of
Lis tests to the class, and they thought so much of
them thu~. they acted on his adviig.
There was nothing momentous in the Incident
but it wa« novel, practical, and a lesson to all col
lege students who care to see a lesson in it. We
would S' nd our respects to this Mr. Hodgson, and
pray for a world full like him.
Improvements Will Be
Made on Sanford Field
The Athletic Association has a
definite object In view which can
be attained if Georgia comes out
1 ahead on the financial side of athlet
ics. The present plan Is to make
several permanent Improvements on
Sanford Field. The field is now one
of the prettiest in the state. Located
in a valley just north of the hill upon
which the agricultural building is
located, Sanford Field has a natural
wind break which prevents the dis
agreeable Hying dust which mars
t ,.n> a baseball game. The field has
a v< ry sound foundation and being
: mooth and level, with water drain-
ag, . It is as good as any college can
expect.
The only crude feature of Sanford
i . lu Is the stream which flows across
thi southern extremity. This stream
flows through a gulley or channel
several feet in depth. This stream
will be piped with large terra cotta
:.m the channel filled to a level with
tin r st of the field. The rough
v; cts beyond the branch will be gra-
dei and the entire field will then be
me smooth, level stretch an 1 no bet
ter field will e»er be wanted than
Sanford Field utter theee improve
ments.
Three years ago all athletics, prac
tices and scrimmages were held on
Ileity Field, between New College
and Candler Hall. The space was
sm ill, open and of bad proportion
lor football and baseball. Through
the strenuous efforts of Prof. S. V.
Sanford, athletic director, the new
field was laid ofT and graded. With
in three years this new field with
grandstand and bleachers has been
constructed and Is now one of our
most valuable assets.
