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. SPORTS STEWART McKIBBEN. GRADY COOK.

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. “Pop” Morgan gained the quarter finals by defeating Horton Greene, in a hard fought match 9-7; 6-2.

Rivers who is constantly going Hunt-ing in the library—but not for information. * • * Student request: Will Miss Wea ver please stay in a constant rood and be pleasant?

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. (Continued on Page Four) Three
