Never Again
If you, a land-lubber, like your
favorite sports columnist, ever
consider going deep sea fishing,
think again and then—DON'T!
Just so you will never have to
go through the experience, here
is the way a deep sea fishing trip
goes:
You see a boat that looks like
an ocean liner and immediately
look forward to a fine time . . .
the captain makes a deep dent
in your pocketbook, but you don’t
mind—not yet, anyhow . . . about
the time the sea-worthy craft gets
too far from shore to swim back,
you begin to realize that the boat
is but slightly better than a row
boat.
Never-ceasing waves start roll
ing . . . the boat shrinks to a
canoe status ... a queer looking
individual hands you a long line
with a dead fish on one end .
you cast that end overboard and
the line promptly becomes en
tangled with that of the gentle
man on your left . . . you cuss
and he promptly responds . .
only the boat-hands seem to catch
any fish . . . the waves seem big
ger, the boat smaller . . . your
stomach begins to act up . .
there’s a funny taste in your
mouth . . . you lunge for the rail,
but don’t get there soon enough
... for a while you are afraid
you w r ill die . . . then you begin
to fear you won’t . . . time passes
with you lying on the deck . . .
you die a thousands deaths before
returning to dock.
There is one fine point—step
ping back on land. A new be
liever in terra firma has been
born . . . the more firmer, the less
terror, I say.
The Last Word
Through the years the Asso
ciated Press has established a
reputation for unbiased, accurate
news coverage which is the aim
of every rival agency.
So, only naturally, it remained
for the A.P. to select the only
All-Southeastern Conference team
with Georgia’s Captain Quinton
Lumpkin on the first eleven.
Where others fail, the A.P. can
be counted on to come through.
With this last observation, we
close our pro-Lumpkin talk: a na
tionally-known sports writer, in
discussing the college payers who
are ranked first in the eyes of the
pro scouts had this to say: "At
center, it is not Texas Christian’s
All-American Aldrich the pros
want, but instead it is the Geor
gia Bulldogs’ Quinton Lumpkin.”
To those experts who overlook
ed Lumpkin as an All-Southeast
ern, we say this: the name is NOT
spelled C-H-I-V-I-N-G-T-O-N
Finals in the Michael Cup tennis
tournament were played Wednesday
afternoon with Louise Brimmett and
Dorothy Blank defeating Pauline
Cargill and Lucy Winn, 6-1, 6-2.
Paced by Milborn Brown’s three-
bout sweep, Georgia's fencers opened
their current season by defeating
Emory Saturday, 9-3.
Coach Joel • Hunt Names 22

ceive Major Letters

At the same time that the Bull

Quinton Lumpkin and Alternate

service during the 1938 campaign.

Willie "Red” Curry, Georgia sen
ior, recently became the first weight-
lifter in the Southeast to clean and
jerk 300 pounds.
Curry, prominently mentioned as
an Olympic weightlifting candidate,
broke four records In the recent state
meet held in Athens. Besides his
new mark of 300 pounds In the clean
and jerk lift, he lifted 220 pounds
each In the military press and snatch
events. His total of 740 pounds also
bettered his own record set last year.
In addition to being a lifter in
his own right, Curry Is given credit
for organizing the Athens Y. M. C.
A. weightlifting team. Through his
guidance, this club, made up largely
of University athletes, won the state
team title In this year’s state meet.
Employed as a distribution clerk
In the athletic, department, Curry
says he will not seek a life-time ath
letic Job. The red-headed Athenian
hopes to ohtaln some position in the
commercial accounting field, but de
clares he will take some form of ex
ercise for the remainder of his life.
Asked what is his chief ambition
at the present, Curry replied he
would like to become national cham
pion In his weight. Although com
peting In the light-heavy division at
present, Curry hopes to make the
heavyweight class soon despite the
fact that he must face much stiller
competition than he is now meet
ing.
