Dabs O’Dirt By ONTHAW LOWDOWN It should be of interest to the sev eral belles of West Georgia to learn that Handsome Jesse (Crottie) Eaton, while feeling exceptionally well one of these last few nights, wrote a most loving and heart-thrilling love letter to Miss Martha Millions, one of the campus beauties. Joe Ford, line-slinging line-stringer, also writes notes and should soon need a secretary. A certain young man who wears glasses recently made the statement that he thought Ray Dean Watts was the most harmless boy (?) at Geuola. (Ah yas, the genteel Genola Giant.)

'jj i\■ MEN’S GLEE CLUB TO GO ON ROAD MARCH 1 The Men’s Glee Club of West Geor gia is making plans for a tour which shall begin the first of March. The tour shall include most all the larger towns of the western part of the state. Manchester is the first scheduled per formance, and is to be March 1. 1 hat is to be followed by a performance in LaGrange on March 6. The club ex pects to include in its series of con certs Greenville, Newnan, Cedartown, Rockmart and several others. The concert program will include about eight or ten spirituals and about the same number of old classics and semi classics. There will also be seveial skits that are certain to prove most amusing. All of this will go to make up a most enjoyable program, most es pecially for those who love good sing ing. However, should any of the students hear a peculiar sort of noise as they sit in class or walk about the campus they should not be alarmed. It will most likely be some of Mr. Watson’s songsters tuning up to get the husk iness out of their voices. That peculiar sort of noise is called vocalization and is done in accordance with a special request made by Mr. Watson in order to make the voice more mellow. But, after all, that which you hear is only a small portion of the work which the Glee Club is doing. The club is having, in addition to its reg ular Monday night and Thursday morning practices, short practices every day which are doing the singers much good. They are making much progress in preparation of the program and have already learned the greater part of it. All the members are looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to the coming tour and are doing their part to make it a most successful one. The West Georgian West Ga. Braves Defeat Gordon Presbyterian In A Thrilling Game West Georgia won its first victory of the season last Friday night by de feating Gordon Presbyterian Sunday School of Atlanta by a score of 35-33. The game was rather listless until the closing minute of the fourth quarter when the two teams suddenly awoke and their desperate playing brought ihe spectators to their feet in a frenzy cf excitement. The first quarter was very slow and uninteresting. Neither team was able to work the ball in close enough for a try at the basket. The quarter ended with Gordon Presbyterian leading by um; pohn, o-;>. 'Tn tin, .second quarter the West Georgia offense began to click. Led by Sammie Fields , the Braves made several crip shots good. Every man on the West Georgia team was playing a good game both offen sively and defensively. During this period the Braves scored sixteen points to Gordon’s two. The half ended with West Georgiq making a runaway of the game, 21-8. This third quarter was almost West Georgia’s Waterloo. The Sunday School boys suddenly found their shooting eyes. This reversal of form plus the overconfidence of the Braves almost proved their undoing. The Braves did not seem to be able to make many of their shots good during this period of the game, while the Atlanta boys were sinking beautiful shots from any po sition of the court. Led by Kidel buger, a very fast forward, and At kinson, a heavyweight guard, they only trailed by 29-26. The final quar ter was desperately fought with neither team having an advantage. Sammie Fields won the game with a beautiful shot from behind the foul line that anly touched the bottom of the net just before the final whistle. There were many sighs of relief from the West Georgia supporters when the (Continued on Page Three) CHIEFTAIN GOES TO PRESS THIS WEEK The time that is looked forward to in fear and trembling has come and passed as the material for The Chief tain is taken to press.

The greatness of the institution is based upon the ability, faith and personality of its founder, Miss Martha Berry.
