tail all night, and tamed the visit
ors very effectively. The game
was abundant in every feature —
spectacular shots, lightning pass
work, fouls galore, rather spas
modic scoring, and even a near
playes-brawl.
Just before the half Jackson,
star West Ga. guard playing his
first game on this year’s varsity,
suffered a dislocated elbow. West
Georgia led at the midway period,
19 to 9 and never relinquished its
hold. After the half the fireworks
began in earnest, Hurst leading the
Kings of the jungle in their futile
rally. However the local team ever
held a substantial yet tempting
lead, and were going strong at the
final whistle.
Driver copped individual honors
for the Brave3, scoring 16 points.
Hurst led Young Harris with 15
points. Eidson and Cook, Brave for
wards were runner-ups for high
point honors.

We have word from President
Ingram that our air-flow gymnas
ium is about to be sealed. The en
tire student body has been incit
ing the idea since the advent of
cold weather, and its efforts are
finally bring accorded recognition.
The sophomores are especially
urgent that this work be rushed
through as only a couple of months
remain in which the forthcoming
luxury would be fully appreciated
by them. Now we’ll be able to
stroll at the dances instead of
shaking around over the gym like
jello (six delicious flavors) in an
earthquake.
Up until last summer the Atlan
ta Crackers hadn’t won a pennant
since 1925. Most of that time our
representatives resided down in
the 6th and 7th and basement po
sitions. And in all those years of
lean Atlanta continued a leader in
attendance. Then last season when
Eddie Moore smarted his Mutiny in
the Basement and copped the
championship, Georgians flocked
to the gate city and amassed at
tendance figures to 6 parallel. All
Georgia was joyous over the suc
cess of the team .
But now they’ve struck discord.
They’ve taken undue advantage
of our elation. This thing of sign
ing up boys who haven’t even been
to college is out of bounds in base
ball ethics. They are stepping on
the toes of schools and other
amateur organizations in baseball
in return for their support in the
years of strife.
Of course our interest is some
what personal. But when a profes
sional outfit breaks into college
circles and with glowing accounts
of “Goldfilled coffers’' our senti
ments are exceedingly revolting.
It is not only our interest in West
Georgia’s future of the diamond,
but also in the gross injustice of
enticing boys away from school
into the professional racket.
"Tf baseball was a promising life
occupation it would be different;
but when it gets the good out of a
fellow he is turned loose to strug
gle through life with the handicap
of getting a late start. And the
chances are against the young
ster’s drawing the big money un
til he is old at the game, by which
time he will probably have become
discouraged and returned to norm
al work.
While certain students are of
fering praises to Allah, we wish
they’d P. S. for a New Deal on this
subject.

Snow in these parts is about as
frequent and as welcome as money
from home. The one of the past
Christmas season was ideal in
every way. Everybody was home
where they could look out on the
old family landmarks covered with
the pure white element and where
if a rock accidently became involv
ed in a snawball, it was immaterial
for kid brothers are compulsory
subject.
The last snow at West Ga. is
probably vividly remembered by
one of that austere body, the facul
ty, by virtue of a tails pin and sub
sequently a gash on the nose.
The Southeastern Conference
brought down the wrath of the
gods of the National Amateur
Council when it adopted a policy
favoring open renumeration of
students for their athletic services
to the schools in the confenece.
Of course the only difference in
this and the old way of encourag
ing the more proficient athletes to
enroll in some particular school ii
that in the past the fact that fi
nancial aid was given obvious, but
more outspoken to the public.
However such a drastic step as
the Moguls of the conference to
which our sister institutions, Geor
gia and Tech belong, have taken
would no doubt endanger further
the already wavering line between
amateurism and professionals n.
Fortunately, as athletes are prof
fered no special favors of any kind
here at West Ga., the final out
come of the issue will have no ef
fect on our program.
