Georgia Captain Unanimous
Selection of Coaches and
Sports Writers
Three Georgia baseball stars were
selected on the All-Dixie college
baseball team which was announced
Sunday by officials of the league.
Sports writers and coaches of the
six league teams selected the all-
star team.
Captain Cliff McGaughey, for three
years Georgia regular shortstop, was
one of the three players in the selec
tion who were elected unanimously.
Buster Mott, hard hitting Bulldog
outfielder, and Kenneth Hamilton,
sophomore pitching ace, were the
other two Bulldogs selected.
Outstanding Shortstop
Captain McGaughey is recognized
as the outstanding shortstop In the
Southern conference, and is rated
by Coach Bill White as one of the
best shortstops he has coached in
college baseball. McGaughey will
gradute in June. He has had sev
eral offers from professional base
ball teams. McGaughey batted .33 7,
and fielded .95 7, making but five er
rors during the season.
Mott, a sophomore, is a football
hero as well as a star baseball play
er. College coaches rate Mott as one
of the best outfielders in the col
lege game. His batting average for
the year was .329.
Hamilton, one of the three pitch
ers selected, made the grade by vir
tue of his four victories as against
no losses. A shutout victory over
Tech in which he allowed the Jack
ets but two hits was another dis
tinction earned by the Bulldog left
hander during the season. He won
the only Georgia non-league game of
the season against Maryland.

lected captain, and four letters were

Freshman Tennis Team
Beats Tech High 5 to 1
The University of Georgia fresh
man tennis team defeated Tech High
here last week, five matches to one.
In the sirytles. Bracewell, Georgia,
beat Keiser, 4-6, 9-7, 6-3; Lindsey,
Georgia, beat Street, 6-9, 4-6, 6-4;
Mason. Georgia, beat Collier,6-l, 13-
11, and Morrison, Tech High, beat
Horne, Georgia, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.
In the doubles, Bracewell and
Lindsay, Georgia, beat Keiser and
Street, 6-3, 6-0, and Mason and
Horne. Georgia, beat Morrison and
Collier. 6-0.
Winning 3 7 contests and losing 15,
the University of Georgia closed its
major sports season last week with
one of the most successful years Bull
dog teams have had in the present
century.
Football, basketball, track, and
baseball—the four major sports, all
had successful years, with football
and basketball getting slightly the
edge over the other two as far as
the percentages are concerned.
The record with victories and
losses is:
Football, won 7, lost 2, tied 1.
Basketball, won 16, lost 1.
Track, won 3 meets, lost 2.
Baseball, won 11 games, lost 10.
What a Team!
The football Bulldogs, those gal
lant boys who thrilled the nation
with their great last minute victory
over Yale last October, defeated
Oglethorpe university, Mercer, Yale,
Ncrth Carolina, Auburn, New York
university, and Georgia Tech. They
lest to Tulane and Alabama, and
fought to a 0-0 tie with the Florida
'Gators. What a record that was—
and what a team!
And those basketball players, who
never heard of the word "quit,” ran
up a string of nine straight victories
before Georgia Tech won the only
game the Bulldogs lost during their
regular season. They won sixteen
games from the best the conference
had, defeating Tech in two out of
three engagements. The Bulldogs
wont to the semi-finals of the confer
red' tournament, losing to the cham-
pi- n Maryland Old Liners by a one-
p! tnt margin. Again—What a rec
ord—and what a team!
The Bulldog track team, although
not making quite as good a record
as the football and basketball teams,
broke a little better than even by
defeating Clemson, Furman, and
Vanderbilt, while losing to Georgia
Tech and Auburn. The Bulldogs
didn’t place well in the conference
track and field meet but they did
win five minor places, which was
better than about 15 other confer
ence teams.
Baseball Team
Georgia’s baseball Bulldogs won
eleven games and lost ten, to finish
in a tie for third place in the Dixie
college league, which is a good rec
ord for a first season. The Bulldogs
won ten league games, and lost as
many for a percentage of .500; a
.500 percentage is rather good, take
it from The Red and Black. The
Bulldogs won their only other non
league game by beating Maryland
in their opener.
Congrat ulatlons
Georgia’s lacrosse team claimed
their fifth straight Southeastern
championship by winning five games
while losing two. Polo, swimming,
tennis, and golf teams also estab
lished good records.
The Red and Black, on behalf of
1600 students, congratulates the fol
lowing In Georgia’s fine athletic year:
Harry J. Mehre, football coach:
Dean S. V. Sanford, faculty chair
man of athletics; Charles E. Martin,

Thru AFs Eyes
By A1 Smith
Wednesday nlte, 11:30 p. m.
With examinations coming up next
Thursday and vacation in the air,
the dear old Red and Black, cri
terion of college newspapers, puts
out its final number of the year 1930-
31 with the appearance of this issue
on all news stands of Athens and
vicinity. Price five cents the copy.
Ye editor is busy writing the sort
of editorial lie’s been trying to write
all year-—but he'll probably change
his mind and appear with one of
those things about how sad It is to
leave the university after four years
of close communion with its ancient
walls and hoary traditions. Ah!
And ye managing editor, the chap
who arranges the front page, and
does a lot of other things in con
junction with the editor, is trying his
best——we nearly said darndest—-to
make the final front page a “wow."
Pavo Powers, the strong, silent
he-man who poses as office boy and
who always gets his man—er, we
mean story, is writing the gag about
the nice boy who was elected editor
of the Pandora next year. Let’s hope
he takes a few dirty cracks at the
old Pandora staff, including the ed
itor. That mob gets uway with mur
der every year. Some of those
days
It's getting late In the evening and
the co-ed society editor has just pow
dered her face in preparation for
the long drive home. These society
editors have our idea of an easy Job.
Oh, well, that’s what they say about
sports writers. '
Harry Bumper, the gentleman
who a lot of people would like to
know personally, provided they bad
a machine gun or two to display
their affection, has just arrived,
robed in white from head to toe.
Even The Red and Black staff—
most of ’em, rather—don’t know who
Mister Bumper is. Harry should
attack the Pandora, but he’ll prob
ably get sentimental—he is, you
know-—and write something or other
about how he loves the university—
you know the kind, The Red and
Black's been having for the past
thirty years.
The editor scribbled something on
the bulletin board about how much
lie appreciated the work the staff
had done, as if the staff ever did
anything but tell rotten Jokes and
eat heartily when Baker cAme down
| with the sandwiches. He headed in
his notice thus: “Ladies and Gentle
men.” And some wise cracker scrib
bled under the heading—“And A1
Smith.” Repeated challenges over
the room as to the identity of the
“dirty skunk” drew no response.
Everybody pleaded not guilty. We’re
rather glad-—it might have been
that big freshman who is notorious
ly handy with his dukes.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, The
Red and Black of the 1930-31 term
fades into oblivion along with the
130th session of the University of
Georgia. The staff has enjoyed put
ting the paper out, whether you en
joyed reading It or not—If anybody
