MUNDAY TO BE TRIED CO-EDS GIVE DANCE
M BIG CARNIVAL
The recent suit for breach of
promise against the delicious, re
freshing beverage king by a former
chaperon general of the Confeder
ate reunion will sink into the mire
of oblivion when the facts of the
suit brought by I. Gattling Gunn
against W. C. Munday, Jr., Buck-
head’s college set, are bared to a
scandal greedy populace. The Red
and Black readers will have the ben
efit of the first exclusive news of
this sensational case by virtue of our
direct telegraphic line to the desk
of the Jeffersonian Moot Court.
An examination of the petition of
the plaintiff asking for three dollars
and thirty cents damages from the
best southpaw on Georgia’s cham
pionship baseball team of last year
shows that Munday not only sails
the sportanic seas, but that his lit
erary efforts run to other waters—
near Mitchell's Bridge. Plaintiff
alleges that William wrote epistal—
ary communications to his wife.
Louise, of such a nature as would
cause Sweetums to turn jade green
with envy. Plaintiff further hints
that he has such letters in his pos
session, and will startle the public
with their revelation at the trial.
The petition, which is a lengthy
document, describes a certain vivsit
of the defendant to the home of
Louise which was planned to occur
while plaintiff was engaged at his
duties as a night watchman. Gunn
heard of these plans and lay in wait
for Willie. The party of the second
part did not desire the acquaintance
ship of the plaintiff, and manifested
his dislike of the proposed friendship
with Gunn by moving his pedal ex
tremities in a manner designed to
remove him to Barber and Boulevard
in the quickest possible manner.
The irate husband attempted to stop
this retreat, but this modern Mer
cury had crossed the Smith and
Wesson line.
The gist of the action is that
Munday, with words of flattery and
by means of his Spanish humor and
Irish wit alienated the affections of
the plaintiff’s dear wife, Louise. The
gist of the defense is that Gunn is
no relative of George Washington.
Allen and Bird represent the
plaintiff while Lewis and Alexander
are guarding the legal rights of
Munday. The trial will commence
on Saturday.

The Firing Squad of the Univer
sity of Georgia closed its second
week of firing in the Fourth Corps
Area Rifle Matches last Saturday
with a total score of 876 out of a
possible 1,000. In spite of the
rather discouraging activities of the
weather which blew constantly for a
solid week during the firing, the
team average was materially raised
over that of last week. Last week
the team total was an even 860, and
the improvement of the snipers this
week is much to their credit when
observed with a weather eye.
J. H. Wright, the Y. M. C. A.’s
war dog, led the shooting for the
week with a total for himself of 91
out of a possible 100. Nelson and
Roberts ran him close seconds with
scores of 90 apiece. The next high
est was the rough riding “Cowboy”
Stephens with a grand sum up of 89.
The remainder of the team members
each made 86’s.
The members of the Firing Squad
who knocked down the highest indi
vidual scores and thereby entered
their names upon the list composing
the week's firing team were in addi
tion to those mentioned above,
Chandler, Heriot, Kilpatrick, Marks,
Morcock, and Brightwell. Each of
these men made a total individual
score of 86.
Lt. Walton, the far-famed mentor
of the Sunrise Committee, otherwise
known as the Firing Squad, reports
that the team did not this week come
up to the expectations he had held
for them in improving their totals
over the week before. This was due,
he says, entirely to the hectic be
havior of the weather. No man can
hope to cope successfully with the
atmospheric elements in a rifle com
petition. This is one sport, he de
clares, where the element of chance
plays perhaps a greater part in this
respect than any other. The light
during the week was fair, but vary
ing and reduced the prone scores
materially below what they should
have been. The wind was strong
throughout and this lent its effect
to lowering the standing scores. The
scores in the other positions were
unaffected and made the improve-1
ment that was predicted in each !
case.
No scores have been completed for i
the present week as this story goes
to press, but the lieutenant ex
presses his belief that they will be |
well up into the eight hundred and
eighties.
