BULLDOG VS. BULLDOG
Saturday afternoon the Uni
versity's football representa
tives carry her colors Into hat-
lie with Yale, and with the team
goes the fervent hope of every
loyal student that the Georgia
Bulldogs again will triumph.
We have heard tho argument
of those who insist that ath
letics dominate and are ruin
ing American colleges, and we
admit that it is possible to
carry athletics to extremes; yet
a demonstration such as was ac
corded the departing team Wed
nesday night left the Impression
that a spirit of loyalty to their
alma mater, Inculcated in the
students to a targe degree by
athletic teams, Is not without
some merit.
Campus politics may divide
the student body, but when a
University team takes the held
its opponent becomes the com
mon enemy of every Georgia stu
dent. Whole-hearted support
of the University's representa
tives in any Held, athletics,
forensic, or any other, indicates
that students are proud of the
Institution they attend. Can
you Imagine one receiving much
good from a college of which he
ts not proud and loyal?
Winning or losing the game
with Yale is not the most im
portant thing of the year, even
though to outward appearances
it ts receiving the greatest at
tention Just now. Academic
work, while not so spectacular,
has received more time this
week from students than any
athletic event.
The game will be broadcast
over a national chain of radio
stations and the University will
receive wide publicity. It may
lie regrettable that a sporting
event gets more space lu news
papers than an important discov
ery tn the field of science, but
that does not alter the value of
such publicity.
Athletics do not dominate the
campuB, and we believe sports
are a distinct help. But The
Red and Black does not condone
students who neglect the pri
mary object of college for en
tertainment, whether football
games, movies, or any other
form. Students who have low
grades are not excused from
classes they miss while away on
trips, we understand, and this
policy is commended. Those
who are capable of making up
hack work have a better claim
to a leave of absence, but It
works a hardship even on them.
STUDENT PASTORS AND
POLITICS
The Red and Black is taking
no part In the presidential race
except as it concerns the Uni
versity. hut when a student
pastor, who Is paid to work with
the students, so far forgets ills
purpose us to stand on the
street corner and hand out yel
low broadsides of vicious cam
paign material, so lowers the
dignity of his calling as to mix
politics with his religious work
nt the University, then The Red
and Black feels its duty Is to
condemn his actions in no un
certain terms.
If the students of the Uni
versity want to have a part in
the campaign, to form Smith
clubs or Hoover societies, that
is their right so long as they
conduct themselves as gentle
men and violate no rules of the
University.
But the students do not need,
nor do they want, advice from
one whose prejudices are based
on religions intolerance, even
though ho he a representative
of their own religious creed.
The Red and Black nurtures
the belief that University stu
dents are capable of forming a
few opinions of their own, and
it resents any effort to use the
big slick method on the part
of one who has not one lota
| of business meddling In the
political affairs of students.
TENNIS COURTS NOW IN
SIGHT
At last the needs of the Uni
versity student body for ade
quate tennis courts upon which
to enjoy their games has been
hearkened to by the athletic
committee of the University and
plans are now on foot and the
actual work on courts under way
for the erection of several on
the campus.
The needs for proper tenuis
courts have long been felt by
the students and have been the
theme of several editorials car
ried by The Red and Black, but
no definite results could be ob
tained.
For the past several years
the devotees of the game have
had no place on which they
could enjoy an afternoon of
wholesome exercise, with the
exception of the Athens Y. M.
C. A. court, the two courts lo
cated at the Agricultural col
lege, and the courts at the two
country clubs. The above places
are inconveniently located, and
when one did arrive he was
forced to await his turn. There
are other courts in Athens, but
none available to the majority
of students.
The proposed courts are to be
located on the University cam
pus behind Woodruff hall and
are to be completed as soon as
enough workmen are obtained.
Plans are under way for other
courts to be built later, located
back of the Octagon near the
Sophomore house.

Meandering With
The Crowd

$30,000 vitaphone at the Palace
The annual Mercer week-end, with
the sun scorching everything as
usual, is a thing of the past until theatre, Athens gained the distinc-

and in what will seem only a week
or two will be over. Nothing passes
so quickly as a football season.
It’s getting monotonous under
here, so I'm writing on my portable
machine to pass the time away.
Everybody has stayed sober so far,
even Olin Huff, and we are fifteen
miles out of Athens, too.
Dr. Sanford just told one about a
tomcat and an old maid that was a
wow. I started to laugh, and the
conductor heard me
caught me, but they just told him
it was Theodore Frisbie snoring, and
he let me nlone.
Games like the one Saturday give
one the feeling of having had too
many waffles for breakfast. Even
‘.ouchdowns get monotonous. The
brilliancy of last year’s Virginia
fame is missing, but the Georgia
backfleld showed some exceedingly
colorful playing all afternoon.
I've promised all my friends some
souvenir from New Haven. I don’t
know what I’ll get to eat up in
Yankee land, but I'll try to find some
milk and shredded wheat In the

In the second place there are too
many hills and mudbanks between it
and the main part of the University.
Some one has spoke of Memorial hall
as "Georgia’s majestic white ele
phant.”
While I’m in the north I expect to
tour the Yale fraternity houses
speaking for my candidate for pres
ident, A1 Smith. We licked these
Yankees at the Battle of Bull Run,
and ought to be able to do it In the
presidential election.
The Academic building is prac
tically deserted since the classrooms
in the Commerce-Journalism build
ing have come into use. So many
of the biggest departments have
moved. Now the stairways echo
when one climbs them instead of
rumbling as they used to . It’s all
for the best. The new classrooms
are cleaner, neater, and far more
modern and attractive. No wonder
the headquarters of the student body
has been transferred from the arch
to the "board-walks.”

Hundreds of patrons have stated
that, due to the excellent acoustics
of the Palace, the tone of the vita
phone is much better thah in theatres
in many of the larger cities.
According to the manager of the
theatre, any improvements to be
made in the instrument are to be
introduced instantly. The Electrical
Research Products corporation is
making tests to improve the present
equipment.
A touch of novelty is to be intro
duced into the program once a
month with the showing of seven
vitaphone acts of "big time” Keith
vaudeville. The patrons of the
theatre wil see these acts at popular
j prices.
Among the vitaphone features to
be shown at an early date at the
Palace are: ."Glorious Betsy,” “Our
Dancing Daughters,” "The Patriot,”
“Street Angel,” "Caught in the Fog,”
"Wings,” and A1 Jolson’s latest pro
duction, "The Singing Fool," which
is now being shown at the Winter
Garden in New York.

in an interesting way why the stu

use the course to shape their lives
for a very interesting future.
Refreshments were served at the
close of the meeting. The president
