THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATHENS, GEORGIA, HECEMUEK 5, 1M1.
Barons, Gents
Play Bowl Tilt
Saturday at 3
Contributions at Game to Be
Donated to Athens Empty
Stocking Fund
By Charles Rice
The Barons from Candler Hall and
the Southern Gentlemen from Old
College will tangle for the 10th year
tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock in
Sanford Stadium, in their annual
“Whiskey Bowl” tilt.
Each year at the close of the in
tramural touohball tournament these
two elevens don pads for an after
noon and play a regulation game for
the benefit of the Empty Stocking
Fund.
Both teams always finish high up
in the standings of their respective
Intramural leagues and this game is
one which really decides the cham
pionship campus team. This year
Candler Hall won first place in the
Sanford League, while the Old Col
lege boys placed a very close third
in the “X” Club tourney.
Boast Star Players
Both teams boast their star play
ers, and, although no All-American
performers are present, playing is
extremely brisk on both sides, with
clean play exhibited by both the Ba
rons and the Gentlemen. Candler
Hall’s ace passer and scatback, Har
old Carter, is expected to pace the
Barons to their third straight win
over the Southern Gentlemen. How
ever, the Old College eleven boasts
such players as O. B. Smith, "Dus
ty” Rhodes, and Frank Dupree and
Coach Curtis Avery is confident of
an upset victory for his proteges.
This series of games has been go
ing on for 10 years with both teams
winning four games, and one fray
ending in a scoreless tie. In this
tie game, an extra quarter was play
ed, but still neither team was able
to push over a marker. So tomor
row’s game will be the rubber game
and each squad will be out to break
the tie in their favor.
Stocking Fund Contributed
Of special interest in this game is
that, although the admission is free,
everyone is requested to bring either
money or contributions of any sort
for the benefit of the Empty Stock
ing Fund, sponsored by Radio Sta
tion WGAU. These boys have the

Will Replace Arch,
Is Edited by Drake
Contest Offering $10 Prize
Will Name Small Size Fea
ture Magazine
What’s the name of the new mag
azine which will fill the shoes of the
deceased Georgia Arch, campus hu
mor monthly?
The new-born baby of Cholly
Drake, Jefferson, editor, will roar off
the press December 13. It will be
christened when all of the names
suggested by students who enter its
contest have been turned in and the
best one selected. The person who
names the magazine will receive a
$10 cash reward, with no strings at
tached.
An industrious business staff has
had the full job of paying for the
publication, as the magazine has yet
received no financial aid from the
University. However, it has been
given the go-ahead signal by the fac
ulty.
Taking the format of Reader’s Di

the smaller size and will be chocked
full of features about the University.
The first issue will be approximately
3 2 pages in length. Plans are to pub
lish it twice each quarter.
Fiction will be played up, along
with pictures, cartoons, and other ma
terial of interest to the student body.
'Uncle Tom' Substitutes for Freshmen
After Sinkwich Sinks Yellow Jackets
University students were enjoying
the remains of a Thanksgiving tur
key Saturday night, but Uncle Tom
Reed, Georgia’s famed registrar, was
ringing the chanel bell in celebra
tion of the big vVtory over Tech.
As soon as he heard the final score,
Uncle Tom jumped out of his seat,
and in an unusual hurried stride, he
went to the chapel bell. Grabbing
the rope, he had it pealing out an
other Georgia victory. "Chief" Nun-
ally, University nightwatchman, was
passing along the sidewalk leading
to the chapel bell early Saturday
night, and was surprised to see Uncle
Tom come by at a brisk rate. He
turned around and watched him go
up to the bell and give it a strong
yank, letting Athens and the world
know what had happened on Grant
Field that afternoon.
Uncle Tom continued to ring the
bell until he was relieved by a fresh
man later in the night.
It is a Georgia custom for mem
bers of the freshman class to ring
the bell after each Georgia victory
until midnight. After a Tech vic
tory freshmen are required to ring
the bell until dawn, but freshmen
were enjoying home fires and tur
key so Uncle Tom made a substitu
tion.

"Oriental Acrobatic” dance. Honor
able mention was given the Milledge
Hall Annex for “Follies of 1941.”
The two and a half hour program
contained twenty-two features rang
ing from tap dancing to orchestras
and was considered by many as the
best In the fifteen-year history of the
event.
The Lambda Chl’s, led by “Skln-
•er” Hicks as a side-show “barker,”
attempted to sell candy to the tune
of questionable music from a flve-
ieee band, while "double-voiced”
Bob Strickland, aided from behind
the stage by Jim Perry, captivated
•he audience with a duet of “Sun
shine.”
Other skits presented were the

’Gene Is Forgotten,
Phi Kappa Society
President Declares
Georgia System Will Obtain
Reconsideration at Next
Meeting; 10 Units Are
Affected
By Quimby .Melton Jr.
University students calmly stood
around street corners and dormi
tories last night and discussed the
University being suspended from the
accredited lists of the Southern As
sociation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools, effective Sept. 1, 1942.
In the absence of President Har
mon W. Caldwell, William Tate,
dean of students und assistant to the
president, and R. M. Strozier, assist
ant dean of students, issued a joint
statement which asked students to
“remain calm and resolute.”
The University was dropped on
charges of political interference
which the accrediting group termed
"unprecedented and unjustifiable po
litical interference” by Governor
Talmadge.
No Excitement
Election Procedure Change
Ie Voted Down, Leaving
‘Oath’ in Effect
Fading into the class of the for
gotten, the prospective visit of Gov
ernor Eugene Talmadge to the cam
pus to speak to Phi Kappa has been
erased from the students’ minds,
Erie Cocke, Atlanta, president, said
today.
The Governor was invited by the
members of Phi Kappa literary so
ciety to appear at the University in
person and be given a chance to rec
tify himself in the estimations of
the students. He accepted and stated
that he would come at his earliest
convenience. Since then, nothing
more has been heard from him, ac
cording to Cocke.
The literary society, in the face of
the forthcoming elections, which will
be held next week, at Wednesday’s
meeting, staged a final but fruitless
attempt to remove the cause in the
constitution requiring an oath be
fore voting in any election.
Led by Buddy Knhn, Pelham, and
several other veteran members, no
thing was accomplished as there were
many members who did not wish to
alter the course decided by the socie
ty last year.
The amendment making it com
pulsory for the members to take the
oath which states that they have re
ceived no political advice how to cast
their vote in the election, was
brought about because of the political
“machine" which was in evidence
during elections last year.
These reform measures were in
stituted during the presidency of
Stokes Walker, Clearwater, Fla.
A statement was made on the floor
Wednesday by one member who re
quested that his name be withheld
that “this oath Is a reflection upon
the character of every individual par
ticipating In the voting, as they show
to themselves and to everyone else
that they are members of a society
which does not trust their ability to
refrain from being influenced by out
side and Inside elements.”
17 Stmlonts Arc Named

Seventeen members of the fresh
man class have been selected to
make up the VRA Freshman Cabinet
for 1941-1942. according to an an

There was no excitement in Ath
ens when the University was drop-
lied. Some 50 students gathered in
front of the Arch last night to dis
cuss the situation but soon joined
another group ucross the street which
was singing Georgia songs.
A real estate sign reading “Lots
For Sale, University Being Subdivid
ed by Gene Talmadge,” was found
along witli a white sheet on which
were scrawled the Nazi swastika and
the words "Gene Put it Here.” The
sign and banner were found at the
Arch tills morning and were removed.
There was no evidence of any stu
dent demonstrations, although word
has been going around the campus
thut a large number of students plan
to transfer from the University next
quarter.
A1 Fowler, Douglasville, campus
leader, said today that a campaign
for all University of Georgia stu
dents to return to the University

mediately.

disgraced.

"We who love the University and
whose sincerest wish is to sec it
always proudly standing for what is
best, face the news with renewed
vigor to keep our standards high, to
strive for a continuance of the spirit
and accomplishment that have made
the University of Georgia great.
"Only the defeatist will be willing
to feel that all is lost. The intelli
gent and loyal student will reaize
that we have before us a problem
which we must meet squarely and
attempt to solve with all our re
sources.
"No one can yet predict the full
meaning of our present position.
Until we feel that we have consid
ered the problem from every possible
angle, let us remain calm and reso
lute.
“When President Caldwell returns
from Louisville, he will discuss our
situation fully.”
