living matter," said Mr. Itaitsell in

herent ability of a living organism
to Increase its size by the assimila
tion of foreign matter."
Highest Point ill Growth
"The embryonic phase is always
associated with growth, and old agt
with dlsentegratlon, with only one
conclusion death of the organism."
Professor Baitsell declared. "The
highest point in growth is during the
embryo stage, and the destructive
phases, after a certain point, con
stantly increase until signs of old
age show, and continue until death,”
he continued.
"Old age can be regarded as a
condition brought on hy elements of
environment," lie further added.
Here Mr. ltuitaell told of various ex
periments In which organisms taken
away from a living body have been
kept rejuvenated by th<^ constant
change of environmental Influences.

So the tlnale, and in retrospect
the best that can be said Is that the

erto unsuspected student interest in
this sideline of athletic endeavor,
will foster school spirit, and will
work to the absolute advantage of
the Athletic association.
• » •
The Athletic association has ex
panded Into one of the greatest or
ganizations of Its kind in the South,
and whatever else may be said about
the university. It has led In athletic
expansion.
Georgia was one of the first south
ern Institutions to encourage Inter
sectional contests. Georgia, Ala
bama, and Georgia Tech have been
the agents of bringing Southern foot
ball into national prominence; Ala
bama with three national champion
ships. Georgia Tech with one, and
Georgia with a close call to the po
sition two years.
Successful Invasions
It has always been Georgia and
Tech who made the invasions of
other sections. Tech with Notre
Dante and Georgia first with Dart
mouth and Harvard and latterly with
Yale and N. Y. U.
Next year Georgia has probably
the hardest schedule of any team In
the country playing the strongest
teams in the conference, two of the
strongest in the East and the big
team of the Pacific coast.
In addition, Georgia was the first
to adopt new minor sports, namely,
lacrosse, polo, and fencing and has
always maintained a full program of
minor and major sports.
• • •
This progress in athletics, an im
portant by-product of colleges, has
been due to the efforts of Dean San
ford, faculty chairman; Coach Stege-
man, a recognized leader through
out the country; and Charlie Martin,
the young Georgia graduate who has
developed into a highly valuable
agent under the supervision of the
dean.
There is no use to go Into subsidi-l
zatlon. We all fight shy of the sub-j
ject. There’s too much argument on j
both sides.
Something to IV Proud of
Let it all go with the assertion I
that all Georgia men are proud of ;
the standing of Georgia teams and j
of Georgia athletics, though a major |
Championship has never found its
way under our arch. Never could
it be said that a Georgia team was
not respected and there are no uni
versities our teams have played that 1
have not been defeated.

Shredded Wheat thrives on most

And M.P.H. is the sustained speed
that every undergrad needs to keep
