Renewed interest is being taken in
taxing with the staging of bouts of
. ve rounds of one minute each. Every
, ue of the bouts is very good. The
tovs have shown great improvement
i. ider the tuteledge of Manager Van-
Douglas Bishop took tho first
match over Paul Astin. The boys put
on a good clean scrap punctuated with
a good bit of old-fashioned slugging.
Koval defeated Spence in tho second
bout. This proved to bo an amusing
performance with “Rosy” taking
many punches, but always coming back
for more. Royal’s victory was partly
due to his improved guard. The best
boxing yet seen was in the third match.
Weiss defeated Johnson, although the
bout was very close. These boys are
both good boxers with Rabbi’s having
slightly the best defense at present.
Owing to the condition of the court
there has not been much volley ball
practice in the last two weeks. The
managers have about finished leveling
off the court and removing tlie sand
left there by the carpenters who were
repairing the gymnasium.
Plans have about been completed
for a freshman-sophomore tournament
to begin in the near future.
This is the off season in tennis, al
though a few players still play when
it is possible.
Anew class has been organized for
group dancing. There was a great
rush on the part of the students to
get into this class but Mr. Braswell
allowed only 22 couples to get in.
These Couples are beng taught et
quette, methods of introduction, sim
ple step3 and proper form. These stu
dents in the class seem very enthusi
astic and they expect to learn much
about dancing before the end of the
time allowed them to be in the class.
Nine men are practicing tumbling for
the exhibition just before Christmas.
The group has some new equipment.
They have already started practicing
on the horizontal bans and the paral
lel bars. Two new tumbling mats are
ordered and anew spring-board is be
ing made.
Anew wrestling mat twenty-five
feet square has been ordered for the
class. Manager Neely has announced
his intentions of staging wrestling
matches after Thanksgiving.
Archery is constantly attracting new
enthusiasts with the girls. Nearly
every week some girl decides to try
her hand at this interesting sport. At
present this group is studying the tech
nique of aim of shots. The group in
cludes Ruth Nunnally, Mary Earnest,
Grace Wing, Audie Duncan, Grace
Elder, Dot Justice, Margie Dee Robin
son, Betty Moore, Martha Hogan,
Jeanette Pennington, Ruth staples,
Jane Luck, Margaret Cheney, Lufta
Herndon, and Dorothy Stephens. The
girls who have consistently the high
est scones are Dot Justice, Mary Ear
nest, and Margie Lee Robinson.
Touch football is not being played
on the team basis. Teams are being
chosen each afternoon by Roland Har
ris and Bill Brown. These two boys
are developing some good player’s from
among the group. At the pTesent the
mightey men of touch football are
Joe Ford and Bill Brown. These two
boys star in almost every scrimmage.
The hiking club has already been
on three rather long hikes. The hik
ers have already gone to Hay’s mill,
Sheat’s pond and to the river. Proba
bly the best hike of the year was on
last Saturday when both the men and
the women members of the club went
on a secret fox chase suggested by
Manager Aileen Kown. Don Barfield,
the fox, led the unsuspecting hikers
on to Indian Springs. When they ar
rived Mr. Braswell suggested that thej
rest for a while by cleaning out the
underbrush around the spring and by
bringing rocks to build an oven. This
was most unexpected to the lovers of
nature who went on the hike, but they
gallantly went to work. Now tho*
spring is a nice place for picnics or
weiner roasts, as there are no more
briars or old trees to worry any one
on their outing. Several more hikes
have already been planned . The main
ones are to the waterworks, although
the hikers are wondering if this is an
other fox chase. Some of the club
members have already hiked over f>o
miles of the L">o needed for a W. G. C.
hiking emblem.
A number of extra collegiate bas
ketball games for the coming season
have been scheduled. Some of these
games are with colleges that West
Georgia has never played. Emory
Junior College, Abraham Baldwin,
Trion Athletic Club and Georgia Tech
Freshman team are the new teams W.
G. C. will meet while Alabama State
Teachers’ College, North Georgia Col
lege and Rhinehart are the familiar
names appearing on the schedule. The
seasons opens January o at Trion when
the Braves encounter the Trion Ath
letic Club.
The girls’ rifle team started off with
a bang last week. Several girls ex
pressed their desire to try their skill at
hitting the bull’s eye. The number
of girls on the team was limited, how
ever, because of the shortage of rifles.
The managers expect more guns to be,
secured after Christmas. If this is
possible more girls will be allowed on
the team. A number of students have
been building a platform fori the girls.
These boys and girls have it p'ractical
ly completed and it is expected to be
ready for use within the next few
days. The boys working on this plat
form are Harman, Robinson, Taylor,
Barksdale, Fields, and last, but not
least, helpful James Roe. (Ask him
how he saws a limb off a tree.)
Table tennis still remains the game
played by more stulents than any
other. Two members of our faculty
are table tennis enthusiasts that are
engaged in a private feud. Mr. Wat
son, our popular professor of English,
is leading just now his friendly rival,
M. Strozier, head of the French de
partment. Mb. Strozier has announced
his intention of getting his revenge at
the next meeting, of the two masters
of table tennis.
The game of scoceer was formally
introduced to the student body of W.
G. C. on Thursday, Nov. 8. A game
was played between the freshmen and
sophomore girls and ended in a 1-1
tie.
This game is new in this p)art of
the state. We hope that the two teams
at West Georgia may be able to create
a great interest in this sport, it is
ideal for girls and women and there
is no reason why every high school in
this section should not have a team.
There are eleven players on a team
and the object is to kick the oval
shaped ball through a goal that is six
feet wide. Only the two guards are
permitted to use their hands, the oth
ers can only use their bodies and
feet. This fact adds much to the
game as it is seen from the side lines.
Both the freshmen and sophomores
showed sp<eed and fight that would be
of credit to any team. The sophs
seemed to have the upper hand in the
first half, scoring their point in this
period. In the second half the fresh
men came back to hold the sophs
scoreless and add for themselves one
point. The freshmen attack was lead
by Woodward and Harris. Both show
ed skill and speed that constantly
threatened to be too much for the
sophs. For the sophs., Cross, Harding,
Brisendine, and Weaver were perhaps
the most outstanding. The sophs
showed more co-operation than did the

BASKETBALL
Red Mariin’s men won their third
victory of the season by defeating Sam
Field’s tear i 23 to 22. This game was
very hard fought. There was never
more than five points separating the
two teams at any time during the
game. Red again starred for the vic
tory along with Bishop. Martin was
tlio high point man for the losers with
9 points.
Jud Hearn’s te*‘ ,m defeated Fred
Williams’ team 39 to 16 in the second
g mo between the teams. The outcome
of this game was never in doubt as
.Tati’s team jumped into an early lead
and their lead never was threatened.
1 oil's boys were never able to get
started. iSimonton stole the show as
far as getting points for his team was
concerned. He shot 17 of the 39.
Team 5 and 3 split their two-game
series ns the town boys won the last
game 31 to 17. This was a nip and
tuck affair throughout. First one
team would gain the lead, then the
other. Red Martin played one of the
best games that has been seen in
gymn this year. He was high point
man for his team with ten points, and
he also was the backbone of his team’s
defense. Carter and Campbell, for
the victors, played the best games,
shooting ten and seven points respec
tively.
Team 2 vanquished team 4 in an ex
tremly close battle, 21 to 20. This
game was featured by the close guard
ing of both teams. Williams, for the
winners, and Sinclair, of the losing
team, were the only ones ablo to get
many shots at the baskets. Each was
the high point man for his team. Wil
liams shot 9, while Paul was getting 8
points
A tall band of sophs defeated a band
of gallantly fighting freshies in the
first meeting of the two classes, 39-27.
This game was very fast, although
there was never much doubt as to the
outcome of the game becouse the soph
omores just had too much height for
the losing class. Some of the fresh
men, however, showed real basketball
ability. Sinclair, an exceedingly fast
forward, who is also an excellent shot,
showed up probably the best of all the
freshmen. He was the high point man
for this team with all points. Martin
and Jackosn, both guards, also showed
nir well. Jud Hearn and Sam Fields
of the sophomores, really played the
best games of anybody on the court.
They are both stars from last year’s
varsity team and excellent all-round
basketball players.
The sophomores quickly took the
lead in the first quarter. They were
ieading at the half 26-16. In the sec-
freshmen; however both teams are to
be commended on the good showing
they made. The two line-ups were as
follows:
Freshmen:
1. Woodward
2. Harris
3. Pennington
4. Harper
5. Powell
6. Reid
7. Ellis
8. Holbrook
9. Ward
10. Nunnally
11. Overby
Sophomores:
1. Brisendine
2. Cross
3. Harding
4. Weaver
5. Webb
6. Hayes
7. Elder
8. Hobbs
9. McGee
10. Lovinggood
11. Cartledge
ond half the Freshmen played the
sophomores a much closer game. They
suddenly began to pass better, and af
ter that it took everything the sopho
mores could do to retain lead.
