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. The line-ups: Young Harris __ G. F.P. T.P. Jone3 (Capt.)

THE WEST GEORGIAN SPORTS JACK SMITH. Sports Kdllor In The Sportlite 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.
