fPCCT/ Sports of the Day Told in Brief A person Is surprised to discov er how many people go bunting over Thanksgiving. We have sev eral crack shots here among us. Why lowell Varner laid 25 quail in the roses and so did Don Bar field. However, neither said how many were flying. And then to top off the hunting over the holidays, David (Major) Walker killed a poor defenseless rabbit —the first victim of the Ma jor s moving arsenal. We don’t know why, but there are grave doubts as to whether the rabbit was in gear. The results of football games are about as certain as a woman’s mind. Coach Alexander’s Yellow Jackets last Saturday were expect ing to get a real sting out of the Blue Devils from Duke, but they turned the tables and gave Coach Wades crew a good shelacking, thereby making the Devils go back blue. But when we heard of the Ga ll. S. C. game, we were forced to stand on our craniums so as to appear to be smiling. Those Tro jans stepped on the Bulldog s tail early in the game, and apparantly scared the southerner’ stiff. How ever, the Georgian fought valiant ly and lost to a team that is prob ably the best in the country. We’d like very much to know the person or persons responsible for ths* choice of Columbia as the East's representative in the anual Rose Howl Game in Pasadena on Mew iear’s Day. Columbia is at best not above seventh place in the ranking of the team in the East. Princeton defated Columbia 17-0 and Princeton is by no means a championship team. Then too, Columbia had a hot time displac ing Virginia State, one of souths’ weakest teams. Then take a look at Alabama with no defeats, only one time tied, and one of the tough est schedules of any college in the U. S. Too, the Crimson Tide. Out of four trips to the coast, hasn’i lost a single game. Thus, we see no reason whatever for the choice of Columbia oyer Alabama and if Stanford wins, we’ll not worry, for Columbia is certainly not the best team in the East, or, as for that matter in the state of New York. Down at the gym, Friday, Mr. Bonner presented his physical-eu students in aprogram which prov ed very interesting. The program consisted of contests of dodge ball, captain ball., throwing for accu acy, individual stunts and combi nation stunts. The women gave the men a good go in all events be tween the two groups, and Mr. Bonner even hints that the women excell in the majority of events. (But don’t be mislead; Mr. Bon ner is unmarried.) Although with no rep to live up to, the dear old Alma Mater, from all indications is going to put out a red hot basket ball team. To watch our boys practice one would think he was watching one of the leading college teams. In fact, we had to look at our jerseys twice to make sure we weren’t in on secret practice of the renowmed Celtics. The school paper is a great inven tion; The school gets all the fame; The printer gets all the money And the editor gets all the blame. Tennis Tournament At West Ga. College The tennis tournament has creat ed a lot of excitement on the Campus lately. In the first place those who are playing are excused from Physical Education classes, and last but not least it gives the boys a chance to court the fair ladies with a minimum of expense, (there being no charge for admis sion). The players are running true to form, and some excellent matches have been seen on the courts this week. All of the slackers have been eliminated. The bracket runs as follows: For the boys: Driver vs. Newman. Upchurch vs. Webb. Platt vs. Varner. Gladney vs. Davis. Morris vs. Glazier. J. Parker vs. Tillman. From this Newman vs. Wm. Brown. Reaves vs. Hay. Platt vs. Parker. Tillman vs. Fisher. Smith vs. Campbell. Gladney vs. Harman. Morris vs. Towns. Upchurch vs. Loftin. From this Newman vs. Hay. Platt vs. Tillman. , Campbell vs. Gladney. Morris 1 vs. Loftin. From this Platt * Campbell * For the yirls: Webb vs. Cheney. Cross vs. King. Andrews vs. Brandon. Staples vs. Logine. Black welder vs. Brock. Bass vs. Gober. Morrow vs. Ragsdale. Phipps vs. Herndon. From this Webb vs. Cross. Andrews vs. Staples. Blackwelder vs. Gober. Ragsdale vs. Herndon. From this Andrews vs. Webb. Gober * This takes us up to the Semi Finals, and to our w r ay of thinking they will be worth your time. All games are to be off by Friday. A losers bracket has been ar ranger, but as yet no games have been played. * Game not played off. That boy, “Big” Taylor, at cen ter is a wizard. He handles the the ball more like an apple than anything else, and he seems in mortal agony if he misses a shot from center. Then at forward, Driver, Fields and Glazier are what is ordinarily known as “it”. Fields has spells of brilliancy which are rarely seen, especially among so inexperienced players. Driver is as good as can be found in all-round ability, but Glazier is probably the most con sistent of the trio. Coach Bonner will have a problem deciding which one to cut off the first team. Then at running guard, Hearn is undoubtedly the best man. He guards well and still finds time to make some beautiful shots. Then “Little” Taylor at stand ing guard is also good using his immense reach to the best advan tage and covering his man like a suit of clothes. This combination should be able to cope with the best of its rank in the state, and too, it has much good reserve material, such as Simonton, Williams, Staples, Webb and Campbell. THE WEST GEORGIAN STIHT GOVERNMENT IS BIG TRIED IT WEST Gl. GOEEEGE The first step toward student government was taken at West Georgia when the students were given the privilege of organizing their governing bodies in the dorm itory. This plan is to be used this year as a trial of this system. It is our duty as students to do all in our power to insure West Ge orgia will have In the future the complete honor system. At the first glance of the uniniti ated, the honor system of student government appears as an unneces sary and unwonted shifting of res ponsibility to the student. He says that no friend of his should be put over him. In life, for which college Is a preparation, there are always leaders to whom one looks for guidance. It is naturally assumed some will rise above the average and how much more willingly we follow a captain of our own choice. In student government one has the right to elect his leaders, or to el evate himself to a position of es teem that will cause him to be a leader. Student government cultivates leadership. When the responsibili ty for some fellow being rests par tially on our shoulders we immedi ately realize that to make his ideals what they should be, ours must be higher and we feel that our relation to every person lias to be strictly “on tne level.” At tne same time, if we have to submit with out question to authority that we had no part in establishing it is human nature to rebel and West Georgians are no exceptions. In a school where' the faculty or some appointed board lias charge of discipline, social standards and otherwise there is always a feeling of being over-ruled among the stu dents, however good or lenient the body may be. Student government at the out-set overcomes that evil by placing reasonable power in the hands of reliable people who are chosen by the person to be ruled. This also greatly relieves the de sire to be always in conflict with those in charge. If a person is honest at all, his pride in himself is heightened by another saying to him “I trust you in your judgment to do the right thing” and he is more likely to be completely honest than if someone were to express a doubt to his in tegrity. If he is not honest, faith in him often raises his ideals to a point that refuses to let him be dishonest just because you believe in him. Student government applies ex actly this principle. Every person is put on his honor to do the right thing in the right way and his pride in himself will not let him tower his standards in the eyes of his classmates. The honor system is not anew thing. It has been tried out in many schools all over the world and by their continuation of it, we assume that is has been success ful with them, at least more suc cessful than any other method.
