With every cog in its high pow
ered machinery functioning to per
fection, the University of Georgia
cage squad ran amuck with the Fur
man Hornets here Thursday night,
hanging up a brilliant 50 to 27 vic
tory—the second this season they
have scored over the South Caroli
nians, recent conquerors of Georgia
Tech, this season. The victory was
the fifth for the Bulldogs in as many
starts against college teams and it
will be interesting to note that every
one hailed from South Carolina. So
ye Bulldogs are again the undispuat-
ed champions of the Palmetto state
and At>beville.
The Georgia team Thursday night
was the greatest tliis writer has ever
seen in action under a red and black
banner. The hoys were “right” in
every technical and theoretical sense
of the word. Their passing was
beautiful and spectacular as well as
tricky and deceptive and they were
as fast on their feet as Mon O’ War
or Zev ever dared to be. And with
it all they worked together like
clockwork being blessed with a super
human ability of knowing where
their teammates were at all times.
Many of their passes were made with
out looking around to see the would-
be recipient hut on every occasion
there was always a Georgia man to
grasp the ball.
Locals Start Slow
During the first five minutes of
play the two teams fought on nearly
even terms with Furman leading, 5
to 3, at one stage. Brock the visitors
star center having broken the ice in
the first second of play with a beau
tifully-timed shot from a difficult
angle. But Georgia’s superiority
was not long to be denied and as the
locals found themselves it was ob-1
vious that it would just be a question
of how many points they could run
up before the final whistle. The
Hornets were battling them with
everything in stock but the Geor
gians were simply too fast for them.
It was plain that the Athenians'
speed had them dazzled. The half
ended with Georgia leading, 27 to
17, and in the second session Geor-
git registered 23 points to Furman's
10.

Speak.
Tuesday evening the University
of Georgia chapter of Sigma Delta
Kappa Law fraternity, composed of
many of the leading students of .the
Lumpkin School of Law, staged its
first initiation of the school year.
At 6:45 the neophytes were assemb
led at Phi Kappa Hall, and for one
and one-half hours they were con
ducted through the mystic realms of
the fraternity. This part of the oc
casion was thoroughly enjoyed by
the old members, probably very much
more by them than by the neophytes.
At 8:15 o'clock all retired to “The
Pines,” where they were joined by

progress by the stimulation of inter
est in tin* agricultural conditions ex
isting in the state, and the co-opera
tion of agricultural leaders with the
farmers in solving the problems that
they now face.
Despite the cold wave that visited
Athens, a large crowd was on hand
to lend an ear to the program that
was to he outlined by (he speakers
and to strive to secure the informa
tion that would put their farms on
a more profitable and economical
basis.
In a short but effective message
Dr. Soule called the convention to
I order, after which Dr. 8. E. Wasson,
of the First Methodist church of
Athens pronounced the invocation.
The history of the institution was
briefly reviewed by Dr. 8oule, in
which he thanked the people of the
state and the officials of the differ
ent organizations for their co-opera
tion in making the institution possi
ble, and for their support in helping
promote a program that made for a
better and more efficient “Georgia."
