In the Sportlight
Tennis Bowsto Winter
AN ARGUMENT IN FOOTBALL
RULES
Now that activities in turkey
feasts have settled down to the
traditional hash suppers, we find
lall tennis definitely on the wane.
Only the most ardent tennisters
venture forth with the lowering
temperatures, and soon the rack
ets will be shelved in favor of
some other sport. But once a fel
low takes up tennis to any great
degree, no other form of athletics
can supplement his craving for it,
and his participation in others is
only to quicken the return of the
time when he may take to the
courts. *****
The forthcoming wintry days to
us will be largely of a mediative
so far as sports are concerned.
When the weather man begins pro
ducing weather of a frigid type
from his hat the mere thought of
veturing forth gives us a combina
tion of flu, pneumonia, palsy and
other troubles.
Of course we shall attend the
basketball games in spite of this
prohibitive weather, but this is
an entirely different matter.
*****
Doubtless the football rules com
mittee and milk shake broncho
busters this year will be confront
ed with one growing question:
Whether the point after a touch
down should be abolished. Those
arguing for abolition say that this
is too minute a feature to be used
in often deciding a game closely
matched.
This argument in itself seems
to us to wipe out those advocates
of the anti-extra pointers. A tie
is in no instances satisfactory. If
two teams are so closely matched
that neither can acquire an ad
vantage, the use of the extra point
will serve as another way the
teams can vie and possibly decide
the issue. The chances are very
remote this old infixed feature will
be put on the shelf. Changes are
made annually, but the basics re
mains intact from the time foot
ball was made a regulation game.

Apparently the shuffle board al
ley in front of the gym is going to
be an underground affair. Each
day depth is added to the alley,
and no sign of stopping the down
ward progress has been evidenced.
Maybe the conditions are more
favorable for the includence of
shuffle-board below sea level, bu;
before this thing gets that deep,
some provision should be made
towards insuring against injury
any attendants who are skeptical
as to their equilibrium.

The next bout featured two pa
per weights—Bohanan and Sutton,
both fighters weighing 120 lbs.
Bohanan got in several hefty lefts
in the first, but Sutton hit more
frequently. In the second the fire
works were begun in earnest with
both boys getting in good blows.
This round was even. Then, in the
final round blood trickled from Bo
hannon’s nose, and this notable
promptly brought about the same
condition to his opponent’s nose.
Both tired in this round, Sutton
more so than his dark-eyed target.
Bohannon was awarded the decis
ion in this —one of best bouts.
Fighting at 130 lbs., Lassetter
took a close decision from Newell
in a comparatively tame bout.
Newell’s stiff jabs to Lassetter’s
face won him the first round, but
Lassetter recounted in the second
to each of the attacks. Several
good blows were exchanged in this
round. In the third, both boys
slowed down, with Lassetter being
the aggressor although missing
frequently.
In the next bout Donehoo and
Tant displayed the most furious
attacks seen to that point in the
afternoon. Tant was the aggress
or, but Donehoo repeatedly caught
Tant wide open, and sent him
keeling back. Tant missed fre
quently, but hit much more fre
quently than did Donehoo, and
added many points to his favor
with stiff punches to his oppon
ent's mid-section. Tant was award
ed the decision.
At this point the spectators
raised a howl for more action. As
usual in such affairs Bung Barrett
was the genesis of the vocals.
And apparently the next fighters
at least one of them, heard the
call and successfully answered it.
Staples and Jones both tipping the
scales at 135, opened up quite fer
vently. Jones had a vicious look in
his face, in sharp contrast with
Staples’ broad smile. Staples took
the first round with fearfully hard
lefts to Jones’ face, not an easy
blow was swung and both boys
were apparently out for a knock
out. In the second stanza Staples
shook Jones twice with a two-fist
ed attack. Jones is well built but
couldn’t avail himself of the few
opportunities in which Staples
was off guard. In the third opened
with an exchange of lefts, Staples
still holding an edge. Then Jones
swung a wild right and Staples re
taliated with a left to the body
and a terrific right to the jaw
which floored his stocky opponent.
However, as the left to Jones body
was low, Referee Floyd stopped
the fight, awarding Jones the fight
on a technical foul.
The final bout, between Bob
Richardson, 140, and Ralph West
brook, 145, was by far the best
one of the day. From the start
fists were flying, the first round
being even. In the second Rich-

Inter-Class Cage
Program At Height
The end of the first two weeks
of play find teams three and six on
top in the inter-group basketball
tournament now at its height ac
cording to statistics. Several close
and well played games have been
held, and each afternoon finds the
sidelines crowded with fans sup
porting their choice of the teams.
According to Henry Kitchens,
who is probably the campus’ lead
ing critic on basketball, good ma
terial is fluent for all positions.
One all-state man, Shumake, is
lightning fast and is death on crip
shots.
Reagan Barton, although play
ing a rather spasmodic game is to
be seriously noted when the var
sity is chosen.
Bob Webb, of the Carrollton
Midgets, and Williams, Heard
County product, also played well,
and rate praises on every hand.
At present Fred Hansard looks
good for the center position. Fred
is a six footer and is especially
effective at taking the oval off the
backboard.
W. Jack3on with his fighting
spirit combined with a native abil
ity, has clinched a guard position
if he plays up to his pre-season
game.
Huggins should also be mention
ed among the outstanding pros
pects.
Manager Barrett and Doug Bish
op have been serving in the Emily
Post role.
Prof. Bonner, after a layoff of
one season, returns to coach the
team this year. Although very
smooth going, the Prof, has a way
of getting results.
ardson got in several good blows
to the solar plexus. However West
brook drew blood from the Villa
Rica hurricane’s lip, and was only
slightly on the little end of the
scoring of this round. Although
tiring slightly, both fighters swap
ped licks throughout the final can
to, with Richardson being the
more aggressive.
Of the fighters In this exhibition
Richardson displayed the better
ring generalship and was superior
and in fighting Westbrook’s guard
was good, as also was his punch
ing.
Andy Floyd officiated in all the
bouts, which went three rounds of
one minute each.
Boxing Manager Bishop plans
another exhibition for the winter
quarter.

Give Program
Continued from page 1
At five o’clock Mr. William Kel
ly, President of the West Georgia
College V. R. A., introduced Mr.
Secrest and the Georgia students
to an audience of about one hun
dred and seventy-five students.
Afterwards Mr. Secrest presented
Miss Agnes Highsmith of Baxley,
Georgia, who directed the program.
Miss Highsmith or "Pete” as she
is known to the University stud
ents, soon talked her way into the
hearts of our students. Her dic
tion, loveliness and splendid choice
of ideas made a deep impression
on her audience. The others who
followed: Miss Hosch with the
scripture taken from the twelfth
chapter of Romans; Mr. Hudson
with his dry humor and serious
ness; Miss Mary Lucy Herndon
with her appeal for continuous ef
fort in the “Crusade of Youth in
1935”; and Mr. Winston with his
picture of the future of the youth
of today completed an excellently
planned program.
At five forty-five Miss Ruby Jen
kins entertained the members of
the Georgia delegation and the
faculty committee on Religious ac
tivities with a splendid plate and
dessert.
At seven o’clock, the Georgia
delegation went to the first Bap
tist church under the direction of
Mr. Bell and Mr. Gunn. There,
they gave a program for the mem
bers of that church.
It was a pleasure for West Geor
gia to have these friends as guests
from the University. A letter re
cently received said, “the Deputa
tion team has unanimously voted
that they never had a better time.
Dick has decided that such whole
wheat biscuits are made in no
other vicinity.”

fifteen minutes and they fully mer
ited the great ovation given them.
A kiddie show was also staged be
tween these acts.
The play was coached by Miss
Pauline Roehm, who gave unsel
fishly of her services. Miss Roehm
made a splendid job of coaching
the play and to her is due much
credit for its success. She deserves
all the credit that she can receive.
The play was put on for a pure
ly charitable cause. With this in
view the admission price was put
within the reach of all. There was
a large crowd present both nights,
a rough total estimate being ap
proximately 1200. After paying all
expenses, the nice sum of $195.52
was left to give to the Christmas
funds. This is quite an appreciable
amount, and it shows that the
people are behind thier church.
Every one in the minstrel is
worthy of a tremendous eulogy for
each proved himself to be a true
hearted Christian by giving his
time and efforts so unselfishly to
such a worthy cause.
