Jackson Upsets Treadaway In Net Tourney
Bonner Explains Absence
Of Football At College
By Stewart McKibben
In an interview with Coach J. C.
Bonner last Tuesday concerning
the possibilities of a football team
at West Georgia he gave the fol
lowing reasons why there is no
such sport organization on the
campus.
1. There are no Junior Colleges
in North Georgia which have foot
ball teams; therefore, competition
would have to be among Junior
Colleges of other sections. Conse
quently, it would be necessary to
travel from 300 to 400 miles each
week for games. This w r ould be
costly and prohibitive. In addition
to this, etc., must
be considered. It w r ould mean then
the physical ed. program would
have to be set up for 40 or 50 boys
alone instead of 300 students as it
now is. This policy would be a
doubtful value.
2. College opens Sept. 25, after
most institutions have played their
first game Our football schedule
therefore w’ould have to begin
about the middle of October and
confined to not more than five
games.
3. Junior Colleges everywhere
are abandoning football because it
is impossible to hold the same team
together for more than one sea
son. Some Junior Colleges that
have a high school combined as
Gordon at Barnesville, G. M. C. at
Milledgeville do not have this dif
ficulty. However they play on the
same team both high school and
college boys.
4. I am sure that the general
moral and academic standards of
THE WEST GEORGIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1936
the West Georgia body and the
West Georgia campus is raised con
siderably bv the present policy if
not sponsoring football.
A recent letter received from an
official of the California Associa
tion of Junior College concerning
a survey made by that body of
Junior College athletics in Georgia
showed that the varsity Athletic
program at West Georgia was
broader and superior in every way
than that of the average Junior
College and unsurpassed in this
state. This includes among our
varsity sports basketball, baseball,
wrestling, track, tennis, and in ad
dition are making some attempt to
place speedball and boxing on a
varsity or semi-varsity basis. The
average Georgia Junior College car
ries only two varsity sports, one
of which is usually football. My
guess is that the cost of the latter
sport absorbs all the available fi
nances for the lesser sports.
5. Believe it or not—Carrollton,
is not, and never has been a foot
ball-minded towm, and while they
support baseball and basketball
they would not support football.
The old Carrollton A. & M. school
one fall produced a state champion
ship football team and brought to
Carrollton some of the most color
ful prep, school teams in Georgia
and Alabama. It was my responsi
bility to finance the team and the
schedule. I remember one occa
sion w r hen I paid out as guaran
tee $75.00 (and local entertain
ment) to a visiting Alabama team
and took in at the gate from local
Carrollton people the sum total of
$8.00! But let’s not blame the
people of Carrollton for West Geor
gia not having football. There are
far better excuses.
Jackson And Treadaway
Attend Tennis Clinic
The Presbyterian College Clinic
at Clenton, South Carolina attend
ed by Travis Jackson and O’Rear
Treadaway, was not a tournament,
but a three day school, supervised
by such nationally known stars as
Bryan “Bitsy” Grant, Mr. and Mrs.
John Van Ryan and the profession
als Johnnie Cardegnia, James Press
ley, and Jack Stackton, all of
Spring Lake, N. Y.
Mr. Lev Richards, w'ho refereed
the national finals this year at For
rest Hills, called all of the exhibi
tion matches.
Jackson and Treadaway received
valuable instruction ,and anyone
interested in tennis is advised to
see them, they said.
Mr. Watson: What is the result
when an irresistible force meets an
unmovable body?
Max Beck: A marriage.

“Travis” Jackson, Carrollton ace,
defeated O Rear Treadaway, the
last year’s champion, in the fall
tennis tournament Tuesday. Oct.
20, by the score of 6-4; 7-5; 6-1.
This match was featured by the
fine serving and “chip stroke” dis
played by Jackson.
Jackson won his right to play in
the semi-finals by smoothing Tood
G-4; 6-1. In semi-finals Jack
son swamped Dick Grace in
straight sets 6-2 6-3; 6-3. In this
match some of the best tennis of
the tournament was displayed.
Jackson by his use of the “chop
shot”, and placement of the ball
kept the Decatur star on the de
fense throughout the match.
In the other semi-finals match
Treadaway defeated some fine ten
nis to overcome all opposition.
The third round and semi-finals
were as follows: Bell, after getting
off to a slow* start came from be
hind to w in over Jones 4-6; 6-4; 6-4.

Todd had liyfle trouble defeating
Berry 6-1; 6-1; Allen 6-3; 06 ;6-3;
6-3. In the first set Treadaway had
little trouble in winning.
Tn the second set Allen display
ed a better serve and more con
sistent game to win a lone set. In
the 3rd and 4th sets Treadaway
came from behind to win.
The latest sport at West Georgia
was started by J. J. Rivers who is
constantly going Hunt-ing in the
library—but not for information.

BELIEVE IT OR ROT
By ANDY FLOYD
This week I received the sur
prise of my life. I received two
letters. The writers said that they
thought they could be answered in
my column, as they really needed
advice, and as they promised to be
god sports about it. I hate to
settle love problems in my col
umn, but if it comes under sports
manship, then here goes:
Dear Andy:
I am a girl 19, blue eyes, dark
hair, and I consider myself good
looking. At the present. I am
stringing tw’o boys from the same
town along. I have both boys’
rings, but they being alike, I can
wear only one ring, and still fool
them both. What am I to do as
I am out of string and at the ?nd
of the rope?
_ Please answer,
Jane O.
Dear Jane:
My advice to you is to turn
“Cole” and ring “Bells”.
Andy.
Dear Andy:
My trouble is somew’hat differ
ent. I tried to make all boys like
me; tw’o finally give in. I did not
know which one to choose so I
took the one with the best line.
After he found out that I liked
him, he fell for another girl from
Ceddrtowrn. Now, I am without a
man. I w'ould do anything for one,
even the one I turned down that
called me his little “Poinsetter”.
Ah, that cute little devil. How can
I get him back?
Va. P.
Dear Va. P.:
I suggest that you try a little
Malcolm powder.
