University Junior Saves
Life of Drowning Woman
Like crawling into a fish trap
was the way Sam Sheriff, Athens,
University junior, described his ex
perience while rescuing an Athens
woman and her son from an auto
mobile that had plunged over a
four-foot embankment into an old
waterworks pond last Sunday.
Single - handed, Sheriff tore
through the top of the locked au
tomobile, towed the two occupants
ashore, and successfully resusci
tated the woman, Mrs. Ruby Bond.
A movement is already under way
to secure a Carnegie medal and a
$1,000 endowment scholarship for
the student.
An excellent swimmer and ath
lete, Sheriff arrived late on the
scene but plunged Into the pond.
After trying all the doors he
slashed his way through the top
of the automobile and dragged out
Mrs. Bond and the boy. Later he
discovered that he had been badly
scratched by the wires in the top
of the car.

setting forth means of election and
regulation of women students who
would participate in cheer leading,
and with his expression of confidence
In the committee appointed to solve
the question. Other faculty members
are outspoken in their support of
the plan.
"I consider the proposal of The
Red and Black a very helpful one,
and I think a satisfactory arrange
ment can be worked out by the Tech
game,” President Caldwell said.

devised to meet the requirements of
Mrs. R. L. McWhorter, dean of wo
men, in demanding a change in "ex

dent Government Council, tor final
consideration of the proposal. With
several members attending the Holy
Cross game, the committee was not
able to meet.
"With a c’ommlttee meeting sche
duled early next week, I firmly be
lieve a definite agreement can be
worked out whereby we can have
cheer leaders by the Tech game,”

Halliburton, University’s Mental Marvel,
Decides Not to Break Scholastic Record
By Jack Reid
Julian Halliburton—University’s
mental master-mind who combines
educational aspirations, feminine,
friendships, and activities galore to
the tune of a 98 plus average—has
decided that he will not wind up his
four-year college career with the
highest average ever compiled.
Authority for such a statement Is
Haliburton himself. The Macon
Junior, slightly past the halfway
mark with a 98.67 average to his
credit, has this to say In regard to
his prospects of topping the 98.62
mark established by George Stevens
Whitehead of Madison County, grad
uate of 1919;
“It seems as If these courses get
harder every quarter, and, frankly,
I don’t believe I will be able to main
tain my average. Of course. It might
be possible by putting everything
save my books aside, but that's not
what I want.”
Spending the past summer on the
Colorado State College Ranch, in the
wilds of Rocky Mountains 100 miles
from Denver, the Macon junior, land
ing abruptly In a one-stop flight from
the back of a bucking bronco, one
day painfully realized there are
times—including that one—when
even a 100 plus average Is of no
avail.
Aspiring to political triumphs, the
first step of which is a berth in the
state legislature from Bibb County
In 1940 (he’ll still be iu Law
School), Halliburton Is rounding his
education through travel. In the sum
mer of '37 It was Canada for the
embryo politico; the past summer it
was a western ranch—Including
rounding up and branding cattle,
packing a pistol and a high-powered
rifle, and spending hour after hour
In the saddle; while next vacation
It will be Europe for Georgia's top-
ranking scholar.
With the Bulldogs out of town for
a week-end engagement. University
students today are looking toward
Epps Field for relief from the monot
ony of classes as Athens' first big air
show, growing out of the efforts of
the newly-created student flying club,
looms for Saturday and Sunday.
Following closely the merging of
the two campus flying clubs Into one
group known as the University of
Georgia Flying Club, the big air cir
cus climaxes an Interest In aviation
students have shown for two years.
Begun In 193 7 by four studentB, the
flying group has grown to well over
20 members, with six solo flights
already chalked up.
A gala program, featuring para
chute Jumps, stunt flying, spot land
ings, bomb-dropping contests, forma
tion flying, and ribbon cutting con
tests has been planned by the club,
with the cooperation of local mer
chants.
One of the thrills scheduled for the
air show Is a parachute jump by
Floyd Stimson, pilot and famous
Jumper, who has taken part in many
similar shows on barnstorming tours.
He will leap on both Saturday and
Sunday. Other veteran flyers from
Atlanta and Columbus will partici
pate in the series of events
Senior Clans Ring Orders
Should Be Booked at Once
Twelve men were chosen for the
varsity debate teqm after try-outs
Monday afternoon In Demosthenian
Hall, Debate Coach Claude Green an
nounced today. Six more will be se
lected after Christmas.
Those selected out of the 4 4 as
pirants are Morris Abram, Fitzger
ald; Harry Baxter, Ashburn; Tap
Bennett, Chipley; Cam Dorsey, At
lanta; Bill Gunter, Commerce; John
Harris, Macon; Howell Hollis, Col
umbus; Bob McCuen, Savannah; A1
Morgan, Atlanta; Bob Norman,
Washington; Carlisle Taylor, Atlan
ta, and Bill White, Greenville, 8. C.
Hollis and Norman were named
last week as debate managers In a
change which removed the one man
ager plan of the past few years and
reverted to the old form of two.
Purely accidentally, six of the suc
cessful candidates are Phi Kuppans
and six are Demosthenlans. Two of
those selected are sophomores. Fresh
men are not eligible.
Date of the English debate was
announced by Hollis and Norman
as November 2 2. This year the op
ponents will be an Irish team from
the University of Ireland instead of
the English debaters froip Oxford
and Cambridge.
Although a complete schedule has
not been announced yet, the Univer
sity debaters will meet G. 8. C. W.
In Milledgevllle within a few weeks.
Plans for a western trip this year
Instead of the annual northern tour
are being discussed, but nothing
definite has been done. The debate
managers stated that either the
northern or western tour would be
made.
Worcester Tilt Expected to
Reveal True Caliber of
Bulldog Eleven
Their true caliber masked by four
warm-up games which have left Bull
dog supporters growling for a top
flight opponent, Georgia's football
legions will tear off the critics’ ques
tion mark stamp Saturday afternoon
against Holy Cross In Worcester,
Mass.
The kick-off is set for 2 o’clock
(E8T), with only Boston radio
stations broadcasting the clash.
Going up against the once-beaten
Crusaders as the underdogs, the
Georgians will be defending their
position as one of the few unbeaten
and untied clubs In the South. How
ever, the opposition against which
Georgia has compiled its perfect
mark The Citadel, South Carolina.
Furman, and Mercer, all undernour
ished babes of southern football—
leaves the Red and Black eleven a
definite mystery team.
Battle of Ware
Saturday's engagement bids to be
a battle of stars. For Georgia, there
are Qtnton Lumpkin, the great cen
ter, who will be In position to at
tract attention of eastern scribes,
and Jlnimy Ford hum, 200-pound
backfiold ace who is a far better
bull carrier than his record for this
season indicates.
Matching' Lumpkin and Fordham.
Holy Cross has "Bullet Bill” Os-
tnanskl, 206-pound fullback who is
crashing his way towurd All-Ameri
can recognition, and Ronnie Cahill.
If0-pound Jack-rabbit who throws
passes with the accuracy of a crack
marksman.
Playing far away from the South
land, Georgia will definitely be a
different team and will have to be a
vastly-improved club or else take de
feat No. 1 on the chin. Coach Joel
Hunt hus spent the past woek brush
ing up on new formations and build
ing up a store of tricks which he
will call on If straight football falls
Passing Duel Likely
The Bulldog-Crusader fight Is
likely to develop Into a pussing duel
betweon Holy Dross’ Cahill and
Georgia’s Billy Mims, the good-look
ing tailback whose improvement has
been one of the sensations of the
Bulldog camp this fall. Mims has
earned his spurs aB a passer, and
his deadly tossing has been a con
stant thorn to Georgia’s minor lea
gue opponents.
For the first time since the season
opened, Georgia Saturday will be at
full strength. Returning to action
will be such prominent cripples of
recent as Harry Stevens, Charlie Wil
liams, Vaasa Cate, Robin Nowell, and
company.
The probable starting line-ups;
Orders for senior class rings should
be placed immediately to assure
quick delivery, Hugh Carlan, secre
tary and treasurer of the senior
class, announced this week.
Carlan stated that orders made
now will assure delivery within three
weeks, but If action is delayed the
delivery date will be four weeks
after the order is taken.
Prices for rings this year will be
approximately )4 cheaper than pre
viously, and will be fixed according
to weight.

Representatives of University Take Part
In * National Guard Summer War Games
By Bill Rogers
Doughboys from the University
’played war” for Uncle Sam this
summer In the Mississippi war games.
Students enlisted In the National
Guard as well as army officers sta
tioned here joined the War Depart
ment’s maneuvers in the DeSoto Na
tional Forest.
For 14 days the national guard
combined with the standing forces
forming the Third Army, to prove
that our nation can defend herself.
Bleeping in mud, marching at night,
going without food, for full days, they
"played” war—minus only the bul
lets.
According to Bobby Brown, Elber-
ton, a member of the 122nd Infantry,
Georgia National Guard, war Is Just
like General Sherman expressed it,
but fun at the same time when you
don’t use bullets.
Brown told how the 122nd, part
of the Invading "brown” force, once
advanced by mistake five miles be
yond the “brown" front line leaving
an eight mile gap between the 8th
and 22nd regiments of the regular
army. Only good luck saved them
from being totally wiped out by the
defending '‘blues.”
"Potatoes, better known tq us as
‘spuds,’ were the backbone of the
army,” he states. "Breakfast was
usually served about 4 a. m with
supper at dark. If the regiments
were in the field each man carried
two sandwiches for lunch. Often
conditions made it imposlble to bring
up food from the rear. When tbls
occurred we went without food some
times for 36 hours.”
Harry Baker, Savannah, was a
member of the 118tb field artillery,
part of the defending "blue” force,
lie had the misfortune to be captur
ed with his whole battalion of 76
mm guns.
Officers and enlisted men in the
regular army assigned to the Uni
versity also participated.
