TENNIS TEAM West Georgia Avon her second tennis victory of the season from Bowdon last Thursday afternoon 4-0. Harris Hay, the ace of the W est Georgia team, won his victory in a most impressive manner from Garrett, with the score in the first set at 2 games all.

Oc won his set 6-3. Beverly Campbell, number tAVO, de feated John Wilson 6-1, 6-3. Beverly playing some of his best tennis of the season, did not giA r e Wilson a chance in the first set. His drives were hit ting just inside the lines and his ser- \ T ece was the steadiest it had been all season. The second set Avas some closer as Beverly certain of victory began to ease up some on his dri\ r es. Each man took his own service for tho first six games, but then broke Wil son’s service. This service break Avas to eventually win the set as he won his OAvn service than lost Wilson’s and finally A\'on his OAvn and the set match. NorAA’ood Floyd, number, three, Avon West Georgia’s third snigles victoyr of the day from Harlin Yates in a long match 4-6, 6-0, 6-3. The first set was hardfought ut in the second set Yates began to make errors which helped Floyd win the match. The doubles match between Hay and Campbell for West Georgia and Gar rett and Wilson for BoAvdon was pro ably the most interesting match oav the entire day. The West Georgia teom won an easy victory, !but there were many beautiful shots made by both teams. Thi,s„ match furnished s ome of the hardest drying of the day. Hay, W. G. C. No. 1. defeated Garrett, Bowdon 6-2, 6-3. Campbell, W. G. C. No. 2, defeated Wilson, 6-1, 6-4. Floyd, W. G. C. No. 3, defeated Yates, 6-0, 6-3. Hay and Campbell, W. G.

Georgia triumphed over Bre men April 19th in a ten inning affair by a score of 3-2. This Avas a beauti fully played base ball game with the entire Brave team backing pitcher Fields perfectly. The entire team should be Complimented for the field ing; especially NeAvman in left field, and Entrekin in center, both of whom made several pertty catches. One, by Newman, an one-handed catch in deep left, was tlie prettiest play of the game. It A\'as three up and three down for the BraA’cs in the first inning. En trekin, lead off man in the second, hit a double to left but he died on base when the next three men grounded out. Newman walked to start the third in ning and stole second, Avhile DaA’is Avas striking out. He scored on a single by Morris. Webb sent Morris to third . on another, single and he scored when Kelly was safe at first' on an error. Entrekin struck out and Chappel end ed the inning by grounding out. The BraA T es threatened in the fifth Avhen Kelly, with one out, singled to left. Entrekin struck out, but Chappel Avas safe at first, sending Kelly to second, but Tuggle could not contribute a hit, so they died on base. Bremen made t\A 1 o runs in the first half of the ninth to tie the score'. Newman and DaA'is, first two men up in the last of the ninth, were out. Morris singled to center and stole sec ond, but Webb endede the inning. It Avas three up and three doAvn for Bre men in the first half of the Ytenthj Kelly, first Brave up in the tenth, Avas out, but Entrekin hit a pretty single OA-er short-stop. Tuggle beat out a sloav bounder down the third base line and Entrekin scored, ending the ball game and giving West Georgia her first A’ictory of the 3935 baseball sea son. TENNIS MATCH (Continued) next game and captured Wilson’s ser vice and the set. It Avas a different story in the second 4 set. Wilson sud denly seeming more sure of himself quickly got a 4-1 lead before Beverly won his sendee. Wilson hoA\ r ever shoAving remarkable placing of shots ran out the set 6-3. During this set Beverly was forced to run from onp extreme of the court to the other by Wilson who was successfully picking at sidelines of the Court. This ,set seemed to finish Wilson for in the next set Campbell with a lead of 5-2 won his own service and the match. It Avas played on a court made soft by heavy rains and lasted almost two hours. ’There was never any doubt as to the outcome of the Hay-Garrett match. Oe warn always able to put on enough pressure to Avin a point whenever he needed one. He was by far the finest player on the court that afternoon. As he seemed to have every shot in the back at his command. The 6-4, 6-1 score is a fair indication of the diffe rence between the two players. The BoAvdon team put up a courage ous fight but. Beverly and Oc for, that day at least AA-ere just too good for them. —— “And the* tie for the little boy, madam, AAXrnld you like 'a long tie?’ “Yes, very long; ho grows out of things so quickly”. Engishman (bragging)—“Wc have some very large birds in England. Why, once while Ijvas standing in a zoolog ical garden, I saw a man come in on an eagle.” Simonton—“That’s nothing. Once •while standing in a ball park, I saw a man go out on a fly.” THE WEST GEORGIA^ NORWOOD FLOYD, Sports Editor EMORY JUNIOR AND W. G. C. TIE MATCH In some of tho hardest fought and closest played tennis matches possible West Georgia and Emory Junior Col lege tied 2-2. None of the matches were easy victories for either team. The doubles match Avhich Avas played after the singles avus the only match that did not go into extra sets. Even in this match the first set Avent to 10-8 and tho second set 6-4. Harris Hay won tho only singles match that did not go to five sets. He defeated Liggett, Emory Junior, ace, 6-0, 4-6, 6-4. This match fur nished some of tho most beautiful shots and the best court generalship of the day. Hay started off at top speed, while Liggett was slow in warming up. Hay, apparently tired by his playing in the first set, coasted thru the sec ond set, losing 4-6. But after this set Ilav was in command of the situation again. He AA'on the next two sets and match, but. only after a desperate fight from Liggett. This match really fur nished some fine tennis and it deserved to be played before a larger crowd than the one that Avitnessed it in Oxford. Beverly Campbell deserves all the adjectives in the book for the cour ageous fight he put up against SeAvell. Beverly, trailing by 2 sets and 5-2 in the third, came back to Avin the third set and the fourth and to carry Sewell to 6-4 in the fifth although ho Avas al most exhausted by the fight that he had put up. Sewell AAY>n the first tAvo sets 6-3, 6-2. In the third set Avhen Scavcll was leading, 5-2, Beverly deuced the set and finally avoii it at 9-7. The fourth set Avas easier, for him. Ho Avon it at 6-1. In fhe fifth set though Beverly avos tired and he had every right to be .exhausted. Norwood Floyd Avas defeated by Stone in one of the closest matches of the day. The scores being 1-6, 6-3, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4. Floyd leading 4-2 in the final set apparently became over con fident and underestimated Stone’s abil ity to rally. He lost four straight games and the set and match. This match had almost every game go to deuce at least once and the majority of the games going to deuce more than once. The doubles matches between nay aml Campbell for West Georgia and Stone and Sewell for Emory Junior proved to be the deciding match of the day. Since it was played after tho singles and Emory Junior Avas leading 2-1, this match Avas to decide whether Emory Junior Avould be victorious or the tAvo teams would end in a tie. During this match several seemingly impossible returns Avere made by both teams. The final score for the doubles Avas 30-8, 6-4. Both colleges, West Georgia and Emory Junior, should be proud of this tie match for no tAvo more evenly matched teams can be found anyAvhere. The scores just about indicate the true difference betAveen tlie men. GIRLS' TENNIS Two inter-collegiate tennis matches have already been arranged for the girls’ team. The first match wall be played on the West Georgia courts when the team meets the Alabama State Teachers’ representatives on Saturday, May 4. The second match will be with Cox College on May 17, when the West Georgia girls will traA'el to Clolege Park. It is not known whether more matclies will be arranged or not. The girls’ team will be composed of Thelma AndreAVs, veteran from last year, Ruth Staples and Pauline Lon gino, two sophomores who only this year have come to the front with their ability. The girls will probably be ranked in that order. WRESTLERS CLOSE THE 1935 SEASON West Georgia closed her 393.> wrest ling season by losing to Columbus Y. M. C. A. 5 matches to 1.
