Bulldog Cindermen
Compete Saturday
In Chapel Hill Meet
Arnold, Mathews, Gillespie
and Preble Inaugurate
Track Season
University of Georgia trackmen
will be in two distant cities Saturday
seeking honors in two outstanding
indoor meets.
While Forrest ‘‘Spec’’ Towns and
Vassa Cate draw their eastern in
vasions to a close in the annual A.
A. U. championships in New York’s
Madison Square Garden, Joe Gilles
pie, Monk Arnold, Buster Mathews,
and Clinton Preble will be competing
in the non-conference events held in
connection with the annual Southern
Conference meet at Chapel Hill,
N. C.
Gillespie and Mathews will run the
half-mile, while Preble enters the
60-yard high hurdles. Monk Ar
nold will compete in the high hur
dles as well as the high jump. These
four men also make up the mile re
lay team.
Meanwhile, track practice will
open Monday with Assistant Coach
Towns in charge. Head Mentor
Weems Baskin will be unable to join
the cindermen for two weeks, due
to his duties as football aide.
Especially will Coach Towns be
seeking pole vaulters, as Georgia's
prospect for strength in that event
appears anything but bright.
Governor Rivers Offers
ISetc Intramural Trophy
The tradition continues. Gov
ernor E. D. Rivers is the donor of
a new intramural cup for the
1937-1938 season—carrying on
the custom started by former
Governor Eugene Talmadge four
years ago, at the instigation of
Intramural Director F. 11. Frost.
S. A. E. won the Talmadge
trophy last year by virtue of being
the first intramural competitor to
be top scorer for three years.
Governor Rivers’ trophy will be
competed for under the same reg
ulations—first organization to win
intramural competition for three
years, consecutive or not, will re
tain the cup permanently.
Frost four years ago conceived
the idea of a governor's cup for an
intramural prize, and this week
he conferred with Governor Riv
ers on the subject. He was given
freedom by the governor in the
matter of choosing the trophy—
“Get what you like and make it
good," he was told.
Well?

HOWARD CLISHAM
We think a new hurdle race ought
to be invented .... one with the
hurdles 25 yards apart and with a
running start of about 30 yards . . . :
then Georgia would have another in
ternational champ .... and it would
be no one but Vassa Cate .... he
really moves in between those hur
dles .... and we doubt if any
hurdler in the world could beat him
to the first barrier .... in his big
time competition in Madison Square
Garden this week, “Gus" recorded
a neat 7.6 seconds in the short
event .... only about three-tenths
of a second slower than the great
Towns' best .... if only they'd take
the hurdles clean out of the hurdle
event .... But Cate doesn’t pay
much attention to them, anyway
.... the trail of scattered timber in
his wake is am awesome thing . .
Scrimmages Mark
wing Grid Drills;
6 on Injured List
Spi
With spring football practice
scheduled to end in two more weeks,
Coach Joel Hunt and his assistants
have shown no let up, and scarcely a
day has passed without the candi
dates engaging in a scrimmage.
During the past week, several more
gridders were added to the injury
list. Harry Stevens, ace back who
was out for the entire 1937 season
because of a back injury, is suffer
ing from an ailing shoulder, and has
been unable to see much strenuous
service. Capt. Quinton Lumpkin’s
bad knee has kept him on the side
lines for several weeks, and Alter
nate Capt. Marvin Gillespie is suf
fering from an old side injury. Wy
att Posey, freshman tackle; Ben
Ehrlich, halfback, and C. D. Slater,
frosh quarterback, all have minor
ailments.
Despite a wet field, the Bulldogs
were put through a lengthy session
Wednesday afternoon. During the
“corrective” scrimmage towards the
end of the afternoon, Coach Hunt
was well pleased with the offense
shown by the "Reds." Aided by ex
cellent blocking, Guy Miller, Jimmy
Fordham, and Bob Nowell succeeded
in reeling off several spectacular
runs. Joe Reid at center and Jimmy
Skipworth at end stood out in the
line.
Although nothing definite has
been announced, another scrimmage
will probably be held Saturday, and
it is possible that a regular game be
tween two picked teams will wind
up the spring drills around the drat
of March.
Cage Standings
Lambda Chi Trims
Joe Brown to Win
League Cage Title
By virtue of its 18 to 16 decision
over Joe Brown in a closely contested
battle. Lambda Chi Alpha won the
“X" Club league basketball cham
pionship Wednesday. At the end of
the regulation playing period the
score was knotted at 16-all, necessi
tating an extra period. During the
overtime period a single goal, made
by Otis Maffett, gave Lambda Chi
the necessary edge to earn a position
in the final playoff next week. Can
dler Hall clinched a playoff berth
last week by winning the champion
ship of the. Sanford league.
Four teams earned the right to try
for the Blue Key title when A. L. T.
failed to win its “crucial” game. Had
they won their game Wednesday,
they would have been the sole claim
ants to the loop crown, but the For
estry Club proved too Btrong and
defeated A. L. T. 23 to 17. This
enables these two teams and also
Phi Delta Theta and S. A. E. to par
ticipate in the playoff for the league
championship. The winner of
tourpey will take part in the grand
finals early next week.
A mythical “All-Intramural” bas
ketball team will be announced at
the conclusion of the final tourna
ment with Bill Durham and R. H.
Harrell, official scorers, and Henry
Keller, official statistician, acting as
judges. The team will be picked on
the basis of play during the entire
season just concluded as well as on
the results of the final play next
week.

BULLETIN
Thinking out loud again . .
Georgia’s '39 basketball team, with
Elmer Lampe's crafty style of play
and the natural genius of Cecil Kelly,
Alex McCaskill, Dan Kirkland, Roy
Chatham, Joe Killian, et. al., should
be enough to warm the most rabid
alumnus’ heart .... it’s potentially
championship stuff .... speaking of
alumni, we certainly love the way
Joel Hunt succinctly told them . . . .
it takes a brave coach to tell alumni
to collectively lay off the coaching
end of the football juggernaut, to cut
out the drug store quarterbacking
. and we admire him for it ... .
somebody should have said it long
ago ....
Never thought we’d be thankful
for politics .... that saying that
Georgia politics should be written
this| hP on the sport page is no idle wise
crack this week .... canny Jack
Frost told Governor Rivers what a
swell cup Mr. Talmadge had donated
to the University for an intramural
trophy .... and he was immediately
told to get a bigger and better one.
After a brilliant home finale last
Saturday night which saw them drop
a 29-27 decision to powerful Geor
gia Tech, Georgia's courtmen are
in Due West, S. C., tonight—due to
down Erskine College’s five In a lone
game.
Tonight’s clash will be the feature
attraction of a program dedicating
Erskine's new gymnasium, and will
also mark the debut of Elmer Lampo
as Georgia's fourth—and final—
cage mentor for the '38 campaign.
Although little is known of the
comparative strength of Georgia and
Erskine, the Bulldog five will rule
as favorite. Coach Lampo will open
with the customary lineup. Jack
Farren will be at center, Alex McCas
kill and Cecil Kelly will start at for
wards, and Olin Thompson and Tom
Kennedy will start at guards.
In a meet packed with thrill*
from start to lluisli, the Georgia
swimming team meed neck and
neck witli Florida'* Southeastern
Conference champions until the
last two events, when the Floridi
ans won by the score of 4tt to 20
yesterday in the Physical Educa
tion |HH>I.
With Florida men swelling the
audience to get a preview of the
Bulldog tank team, Clemson's Tiger
had Its tall pulled to the tune of 47
to 28 by the Georgia swimming
squad Wednesday night In the phys
ical education pool.
Out of the eight varsity events,
six went to Goorgla while three of
the four freshman races were won
by the mermen from Clemson. Bill
Walters took both dashes, as is his
custom, but the time was slow. Ash
ford took the 220 free style. Corey
was successful in the 440 free style.
The Georgia tankmen ran away with
the 400-yard medley rolay.
Freshman Moore won the only first
in the freshmen events, winning the
40-yard free style.
