•igain just as the first quarter ended.
The spore at the end of the first quar
ter was 9-8.
In the second quarter the Braves
could not find the basket with any
great degree of accuracy. Reinhardt
rained a rather substantial lead in this
quarter. At the half the Braves were
training, by 5 points, 16-11. After the
rest between the halves the Braves
rallied and during the third quarter
they scored seven points to only five
of Reinhardt’s. The last quarter the
West Georgians were unable to keep
up their rally of the third quarter and
Reinhardt came out the victor by the
score of 27-21.
Sam Fields was the high point man
for the Braves with seven points.
Martin trailed him with six points.

WORK ON THE CHIEFTAIN
PROGRESSES
Work is going forward rapidly on
the Chieftain, yearbook of the college.
The photographer’s prints were taken
to the Wrigley Engraving Company
recently and work has already been
started on the cuts for the annual.
The managing editor and various mem
bers of the staff are rapidly finishing
the plans that will go to Foote and
Davies, printers of the annual.
From all plans the book will equal,
and possibly surpass the excellent
book that was published by last years
staff.
The theme of the annual is science.
The drawings have been contributed
by Mrs. Thomas A. Hart and show* in
six beautiful full page drawings the
progress of men in the field of science.
The frontspiece depicts the four basic
sciences, Physics, Biology, Chemistry,
and Astronomy. The remaining five
drawings represent Industry, Explor
ation, Travel, Communication and
Medical Achievement. These will be
used as the main division pages in the
book. This theme is highly individual
and the Chieftain staff is highly in
debted to Mrs. Hart for her part in
making this year’s annual distinctive.
The Chieftain will have eighty-four
or more pages. The sophomore class
covers ten pages and the freshman
class four. There are several pages of
features, including snapshots, comic
drawings, take-offs on members of the
faculty and student body, etc. All
activities on the campus are represent
ed by one or two pages with the
athletics having five pages with pic
tures of the various teams including
basketball, touch football and the
baseball team of last season.
The cover has not yet been decided
upon by the editor. There is some
possibility that the same cover that
was used last year in a royal blue will
m 4.
TEAM NO. 1 CHAMPS OF
INTERMURAL SEASON.
Judson beam's team number 1 made
a very good record during the intra
mural basketball season of the fall
quarter. This team was clearly the
class of the field. Paul Sinclair's
team number 4 which finished second
in the league had the best defense of
the league. Only 178 points were
scored on this dose-guarding team,
while they were second only to Hearn’s
team in total points scored.
The final standing of the league
were:
Won Lost
Team 1 ~~6 2
Team 4 5 8
Team 3 4 * 4
Team 2 —3 5
Team 5 2 6
The total number of points scored by
each team should be rather interesting
as they show clearly which were the
best teams.
Points Opponents
Team 1 250 182
Team 4 210 178
Team 3 180 198
Team 2 146 192
Team 5 193 234
The individual high scorer of the
season was Leeman Simonton who
scored 77 points in only 7 games. This
average of 11 points a game was con
siderably higher than the second best
average of 7.1 points per game by
Votice Carter.
The individual high scorers in order
were: Simonton, 77; Floyd, 63; Sin
clair, 62; Colley, 67; Hearn, 54; Harris,
53; Fields, 52; Martin, 51; Carter, 50.
The average points per game tell a
different story as some of the high
scorers played in more games than the
others. The average points per game
in order Avere: Simonton 11, Carter
7.1; Sinclair 6.9, Hearn 6.7, Williamson
6.5, Fields 6.5, Martin 6.4, Floyd 6.3,
Colley 6.3, Harris 5.9, Parker 5.9.
WRESTLING TEAM
SCHEDULES MATCHES
The wrestling enthusiasts are hard
at work under the tutelage of Ed
Neely preparing for their first extra
collegiate match next month. The
first miitch is with Tech High school
in Atlanta. Tech High has one of the
best prep school teams in the state.
This team should furnish an excellent
test for the West Georgians. The big
matches of the year for the wrestlers
are the two matches with Atlanta
Y. M. C. A. The Atlanta ‘ ‘ Y’’ is
rated the second best wrestling team
in the state. Manager Neely has great
hopes of the West Georgians giving
the “Y” a great fight. The Avrestling
team will probably be composed of
Thomas, Neely, Karris, Ingram, Mer
rit, Trent and one or two others.
The schedule is published below, al
though one or two more matches are
pending:
February 2 —Tech High School in
Atlanta.
February 9—Atlanta Y. M. C. A. in
Atlanta
February 15 —Tech High in Carroll
ton. ,
February 23—Atlanta Y. M. C. A. in
Carrollton.
Then there is a little incident about
Dr. Boyd’s wedding away last summer
that is just now coming to light.
Usher: Madam, are you a friend of
the groom?”
Lady: Indeed, no. lam the bride’s
mother.
Louise: “The green garden snakes
around here are not harmful.’ ’
Alma: “Aren’t they as dangerous

W. G. C. POINT SYSTEM
The point syttem should bo studied
e are fully by all West Georgia students.
H is one of the fairest means possible
to determine the best all round nth
'e‘‘'‘. here in school.
The point system:
REGULATIONS
1. Not more than ono point per day
may be secured from any one activity.
One point may be secured by partici
pating for ono hour or n ore.
2. As many points may be secured
per day as there are activities engaged
in, provided as much as one hour is
spent at each.
3. For participating in an intra
mural game or tournament each player
of the winning side gets three points
and the losing side gets two points.
NOTE—One hour mud be spent in
one of the following before one point
can be secured: Boxing, hiking, fenc
ing, group dancing, wrestling, soccer,
golf, volleyball, basketball, tennis,
touch football, kittenball, riflery, and
tumbling.
One point will bo given for par
ticipating in any one of the following
for one hour or any two for a half
hour each: Handball, table tennis, cro
quet, archery, and horse shoes.
This system was planned by Fred
Robinson, sophomore at West Georgia,
and passed by the West Georgia board
of managers.
Mrs. Hart: Honey, since you’ve al
ready eaten three helpings of my first
batch of biscuits, I’m going to bake
some more for you tomorrow morning.
Won’t that be lovely? Won’t that be
speak to me, Tom, dear; speak to me!”
Mrs. Howell was giving a dinner for
the faculty and while preparing it she
stopped to speak a word to the maid.
Mrs. Howell: “Mary, when you 1
wait on the table tonight for my
guests, please don’t wear any jewelry.”
Maid: “I have nothing valuable,
ma’am; but I thank you for the warn
ing.”
Fisher: “No, I didnt take the job;
there was no future in it. The OAvner’s
daughter was already married.”
Nonvood S. Floyd, formerly of
Plainville, now of Pinson Station, has
recently received a letter from a
certain Miss Gois Laines, of Rome.
Norwood will shove off Northward at
an early date.
Did anyone happen to hear Joe Ford
as he serenaded Watson’s English with
“By A Waterfall?”
Scon on the campus one Sunday af
ternoon of late: Harding and Ostu
haut; Barfield and Perry; Entrekin
and M'acy Murphy; Hogan and Dickey;
Varner and Kowv; Stone and Mc-
KoA r ; Laurence and Eubanks; Rosy
Spence and Kays; Weiss and Merrit
and Moore.
It seems that Mr. Lavender is get
ting to be tlie Good Samaritan on the
campus. Every one is telling of the
good deeds that he has done for them
from giving a lift to lending the mas
ter key to the lockers.
If any of you want to learn how to
work up a Golden Grain, ask Miss
Jenkins.
Why worry; you can’t make a bear
out of the bull of the woods.
Miss CoAvan: “I’ll give you just
one day to hand in that paper.”
Red Martin: “All right; what about
the Fourth of July?”
SPORTS IN GENERAL
The girls’ rifle range has been com
pleted. Excellent work on this project
was done by Don Barfield. le con
structed the targets and the platform
that the girls shoot from. Two new
rifles have been secured for this group.
Now that the range is ready for irso
and new rifles have been secured Man
ager Collins expects this group to make
rapid strides towards being a real
squad of sharpshooters.
The tumbling class is now hard at
work preparing for the long-awaited
exhibition to be held next month.
This men’s tumbling class lias been one
of the most active classes in the en
tire system and a good exhibition is
expected.
Girl’s tumbling lias been re-organ
ized by Manager Lydia Murpjiy. Un
der her ion this group
will learn to roll, front
roll, crawfish roll and some others
that cannot be done until the new
tumbling equipment has arrived.
The report from the State Board of
Health concerning the tuberculosis
tests made in connection Avith our
physical education program has been
received by Mr. Braswell. This re
port showed that out of the 272 stu
dents examined there was not a single
active case of tuberculosis. This is an
especially flattering report. The State
Board of Health said that in most
student bodies the size of West Geor
gia’s there were at least two or three
active cases of this disease. All the
students should be proud of the record
W. G. C. made in this examination.
There has been one change in man
agers. Lowell Varner was forced to
esign his position as manager of the
boxing class. Paul Astin lias been
appointed to succeed Lowell. This ap
pointment is subject to the approval
of the board of managers. It is pos
sible that this group will put on an
exhibition next month. Nothing def
inite could be learned just yet as the
final plans liaA r e not been draAA*n up.
The girls’ soccer group has finally
been able to continue their practice.
This group has done little for the past
few Aveeks because of the Cold weather
and the Christmas holidays.
GIRLS’ BASKETBALL
In the only girls’ intramural basket
ball game since the Christmas holi
days, Mary Cole’s team defeated a
team captained by Thelma Andrews
22-11 This was an exciting game
Avliich was much closer than the score
indicates. The victors did not run up
any great lead until the last quarter
Avhen their offense suddenly began to
click. During the last half the losers
could do nothing at all with the fast
attack of Mary’s team and the final
Avhistle alone saved them from any
greater defeat. The tAVo captains,
Mary Cole and Thelma Andrews, and
Grace Wing Avere the stars of this
game.
FIRST AID
During the intramural athletic sea
son of the fall quarter there were 15
first aid cases. None of these cases
were serious. They ranged from hand
aging infected fingers to reviving
victims of being knocked unconscious
by the flying feet of the tumblers.
This is a rather good record since
we have 272 students participating in
almost every sport from boxing to
ping pong.
“Cotton Williamson was annoyed
li> the attentions of u small dog dur
ing the interval just preceding a bas
ketball game. At last when the game
was about to begin he turned uad
shouted to the spectators: “Whoever
owns this dog might call him off.”
A voice responded, “Come here,
Spot; them ain’t bones, boy—them’s
legs!’’
Norwood: “I supposed you’ve heurd
rumors that I’m engaged to Fanny”
Calloway: “Yea. If it’s true I con
gratulate you; if not, I congratulate
Fanny!”
Uncle Bob: “Didn’t Ah tell you to
notice when do soup boiled over?”
Other Cook: “Yowsah, it was half
past ten.”
Salesman: “Ladies and gentlemen,
I have here the famous flexible comb
that will stand any kind of treatment.
You can bend it double; you can hit it
with a hammer; yon can twist it; you
can ...”
Jabbo (in crowd): “Say, Mister,
can you comb hair with it?”
Clerk: “Do you prefer red neck
ties or green ones?”
Mr. Howell: “I’m sorry, but I can’t
say.”
Clerk: “Shake, old man, I’m mar
ried, too.”
Miss Kendricks: “Here’s a ticket
for the conjuring show, Uncle Bob.”
Uncle Bob: “I sho does thank you,
Missie.”
Miss K.: “And when lie comes to
that trick Avhero he takes a teaspoon
of flour and one egg and makes twen
ty' omelets, you pay very strict atten
tion.”
Barton: “Pop, will I look like you
when 1 up,”
Mr. Gunn: “Everybody seems to
think so, son.”
Barton: ‘Well, I won’t have to grow
up for a long time, will I, pop?”
Mr. Roberts (after very bad reeitfc*
tion): “Class is dismissed; don’t flap
your ears as you go out.”
