Woman Students Develop
Intramural Organization
By Gene Harper
The Woman’s Athletic Association is the organization which con
trols the Intramurals program for women students. This is a program
completely developed and carried out by the members of WAA.
Annual Elections
Officers and sports managers are elected each year by the WAA.
Sororities and dormitories elect representatives to vote at the meet
ings held every first and third Wednesday night. Other women may
gain voting power by attending meetings for two quarters without
missing a meeting.
The WAA sponsored several activities last year in addition to the
intramural program. Some of the projects of the organization was
High School PE Day in Georgia, and a statewide conference, Georgia
Athletic Federation of College Women.
There are many differences in the organization of the WAA Intra
murals program and the men’s Intramurals program at the Univer
sity. The women’s activities are limited in time and space. Few girls
are willing to take signouts and give up dates at night. Therefore,
all sports must be played in the afternoon. There is no director of
athletics for the women, only an adviser to see that the program
planned by the WAA is carried out.
“This type of program,” says adviser Dorothy Perry, “is better for
the women because it develops student leadership along with skill (
at sports. The women realize that students are officiating and develop j
spectator sportsmanship which is carried over into intercollegiate
sports at the University.”
Participation Good
The participation in women’s intramurals is as good as any group
around the country. Any woman attending the University is eligible
to participate and over one third of the enrollment takes part in one
or more sports each year. Sorority participation is good but dormi
tory participation is poor.
Organization at games and matches is as good as can be found in
intercollegiate sports. Each team has colors, numbers, and good cheer
ing sections. WAA with its Intramural program is a very worthy
organization for the University.
-109 VICTORIES-
Coach Butts Begins 17th Season
As Head Georgia Football Mentor
As spring football practice gets into full swing at the University, Coach James Wallace Butts is be
ginning his 18th year with the Georgians and his 17th as head football coach. This makes him Dean of
Southeastern Conference head coaches since no other current SEC coach has held his present'position
for that long.
Butts came to Georgia in 1938 as
an assistant grid coach to head coach
Joel Hunt, but he was promoted to
the head position before the 1939
season opened and has since "put
Georgia on the
map” in football
circles.
During his
reign a s head
mentor, the little
round man has
tutored his
squad to 109 vic
tories against 56
losses and eight
ties for a well-
above - average
64.9 victory per
centage.
Prior to Butts’ time, the Bulldogs
had never played In a post-season
Butts
bowl game, but since his arrival they
have played in seven—winning four,
losing two, and tying one. The 1942
team won the Rose Bowl game, 9-0,
over a powerful UCLA squad.
Butts’ 1942, ’46 and ’48 teams won
the Southeastern Conference cham
pionship—a crown which no other
Bulldog grid coach has ever won.
His 1945, ’46 and ’47 teams ran
up a winning streak of 17, which Is
the longest in University history.
Butts has become well known
around the country for producing
All-American grid performers. Of
Georgia's total of 14 All-Americans,
10 of them have come under Butts’
reign.
Before coming to Georgia, Butts
built up a highly successful record
as a high school grid coach—winning
90 and losing only 10 in 10 years.
He graduated from Mercer Univer
sity in 1928 after performing as an
outstanding end for the Bears for
two years.
Rifle Team Downs Clemson
The University Rifle team recently
defeated Clemson, 931-875, to remain
undefeated in thi3 year’s firing tour
naments. Clemson last defeated the
Georgia squad in 1952 in their only
defeat in the last three years. Lucius
Edmondson paced the Georgia victory
with 188 points.
Lack of Height
Hurts Cagers
Bulldog basketball coach Har
bin “Red” Lawson believes that
one of Georgia’s main cage trou
bles for the last few years has
been their “lack of tall players in
a game that practically demands
height.” Also, he is currently at
a loss to decide how he will com
pensate for the fact that two of
his tallest players are due for
graduation this season.
Center Allen Parrish, who is 6-6,
Is the Bulldogs’ tallest player at
present, and this is his last season
with the Georgians, who also lose
Captain and 6-4 forward Lamar
"Bubba” Potts. Potts and Parrish,
along with 6-5 center Bill Ensley, are
considered by Lawson to be his best
rebounders.
"The rebound,” explains Lawson
“is one of the most Important parts
of the game of basketball, and with
a short team like the ones'Georgia
has had for the last few years, It Is
hard to out-rebound our usually tall
er opponents!”
The red-haired Bulldog cage men
tor is dependent to a great extent on
6-5 Henry Cabaniss, who will be up
from Georgia’s freshman court squad
next year, but even with Cabaniss
Ensley and 6-4 forward George Bell
returning, Georgia will still have one
of the shortest squads in the South
eastern Conference.
