Winter intramurals to Get Under Way Shortly
In mi eflort to create the greuter
1 ur«* for spectators, basketball at
Ucorgfu this season will receive a
heavy injection of rejuvenating fluid
in the form of doing away with play
ing rule* that urc responsible for
a good deal of the “whistle-blow
ing" which slows up games and tends
to make them more uninteresting
for the onlooker.
Ofllrluls here realize, from results
in parts of the country where court-
men are permitted to employ turtles
that produce more action on the
floor without making the games out-
nnd-out rough-and-tumble affairs,
that the drawing power is greater,
us witness attendance figures In sev
eral of those games 17,000 each at
the N. Y. U.-Notre Dame and N. Y.
U.-Kentucky games. Therefore this
decision is only a step toward reviv
ing the waning Interest in basket hall
that all schools will eventually have
to adopt.
Permanent Features
Other innovations here but of les
ser importance are the public address
system that will lie used at ouch
game, and the bund which will l'tir-
uislt music at all of the home gutties.
Director II. ,1. Stegeman atid Coach
Rex Enright both said that they were
sutlBflcd with the turn-outs for tho
Chattanooga games, and hoped that
attendance for the remaining con
tests here would be at least us good.
Speaking of Ills sound's prospects
for a successful campaign Coach En
right said that it ought to have a
fuir season, the lirst real test com
ing Thursday night when tho strong
'tiutor squad was played. The sec
ond engagement of the two-game en
counter will bo played in Woodruff
hall tonight at 8 p. m.
Flashes of Form
In the two contents with Chatta
nooga which the Bulldogs swept,
(ieorgiu exhibited occasional Hashes
of brilliance that spoke well for fu-
turo performances later in tho sen-
son. The squad went into those con
tests with only tine day of practice j
uftor the Christmas holidays, which '
was in a great measure responsible 1
for the generally ragged play.
Of the veterans, Frank Johnson
and Andy Anderson played their
usual hang-up games; and among j
tho sophomores, Harry Harman, I
Charlie Harrold, and Jimmy Moore
showed a great deal of promise.
An encouraging feature of this
year's squad Is that there isn’t a
senior among the players, and nil
of them will he hack for at least
another year of basketball after this
one.

Track Candidates
Begin Daily Drills;
Letlermen Return
Winter track conditioning began
Monday with nearly fifty varsity and
freshman candidates working out
under Coaches Weems Bnskin and
Billy Maddox. Dally practice will
continue until the March examina
tions, although competition will not
sturl before the spring quarter.
Wesley Calhoun, Evin Major, Fen
ton Cox, Emory Patillo, Maurice
Green, Glenn Johnson, “Pinky”
Moore, "Bro” Wilcox, and John
Bond are letter men expected to
bear the brunt of the scoring in the
1935 season.
Graham Batchelor, Billy Maddox,
and Julian Baxter will be the only
serious losses from last season’s
team, which lost only two dual meets
and placed third in the Southeastern
conference meet. A good year Is ex
pected by tho roaches.
Spec Towns, Harry Harman, Short
er Rankin, and Ben Bouleware are
stars from last year’s undefeated
freshman team, who are expected to
materially strengthen tho varsity.
Tin* 1935 track schedule has not
been officially announced. It is un
derstood, however, that Georgia cin-
de.rmen will meet leading Southeast
ern and Southern conference teams
as usual.
AN OLD CUSTOM
Shirts were swapped by rival rid
ers after the first game between the
polo teams representing the East and
West.
Intramural basketball and other
events of the intramural winter ath
letic program will be launched Mou-
duy, Jan. 31, Director Jack Frost
announced today to The Red and
Black. At the same time he urged
all team managers to see him im
mediately and enter their teams.
Still hanging over from last quar
ter are the touch hull finals and the
barnyard tennis (inis matches The
play off of tlie former was again
uttemptod on Thursday. For four
consecutive games the S. A. E.s and
the Sigma Nus have buttled and
the filial whistle has found these two
teams still tied for tho school cham
pionship. It is hoped that today’s
game will definitely establish the
champion football team for 1934 and
both sides have vowed to win this
one for "deur ole et cetera.”
Horseshoes to End
The horseshoe tournament will
be concluded some time next week.
Frost said, and then the winter quar
ter sports will begin in full fashion
| the following week.
Basketball, bowling, soccer, foul
throwing, wrestling, swimming, and
the game of “twenty-one” will be
played by tho intramural teams this
winter and following the custom ap
propriate trophies will be awarded
the winning teams.
Program Delayed
“I hud intended beginning the
winter season Monday,” Frost said,
“but it was impossible to begin bas
ketball at this time because of var
sity and freshman practice. How
ever, it Is quite possible that some of
the other events might get under
way tho latter part of the week. If
so, students will be notified on the
bulletin board. For this reason alone
it Is more than ever necessary that
team managers waste no time in
gotting in touch with me.”
While only 500 students partici
pated in the intramural activities last
year, Frost announced that already
prospects point to the fact that at
least 900 will have availed them
selves of tho athletic opportunities
by the end of May.
Mehre Announces
Spring Grid Workouts
Coach Harry Mehre announced
this week that spring football
practice will begin here on Jan.
2S and last for five weeks. He
said that he expected a squad of
I at least fifty to report.
Much work will have to be done
1 to replace the ten men lost by
graduation, and this will give
Coach Mehre his first opportun
ity to observe the material coming
up from Coach Johnny Broadnax's
freshman squad.
Coach Mehre said he hoped to
have a good spring practice.
Marksmen Engage
Four (>[)|»onents As
Season Is Started

their iirst week of intercollegiate
: competition Saturday. During the
| past week the sharpshooters have
J engaged in four telegraphic meets,

As yet the results of these four
matches have not been determined,
but they will be announced in next

many colleges all over the country
