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 THE WEST GEORGIAN NORWOOD FLOYD, Sports Editor 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. Team 2 (9) Toam 3 (18) Floyd L. F. Bishop (5) L.F. Johnson (3) R.F. Newman (i>) R.F.
