BRAVE COMMENTS...
By DICK GRACE
Slowly ho faced the batters, :
Deaf to each jeer and howl.
Mancuso went down swinging;
Ott was out on a foul.
Leiber, a heavy hitter,
Missed the next three slow ones
fed,
So Lefty Gomez came through on
time —
Came through on his heart and
head.
Well, well, another World Ser
ies has come and gone, or so they
told me when I returned from a
very strenuous week end. And
tiiey also told me that the heavy
hitting Yankees copped the hunt
ing for the second consecutive
year. I don’t know why I couldn’t
have gathered these facts for my
self; it seems that yours truly was
in a stupor during the entire ser
ies. The reason is that our last
erkle was riding high on the ill
fated Giants.
As the athletic activities on our
own campus have not begun as
yet, this correspondent is endea
voring to take up as much space
as possible with outside activities.
Have you ever stopped to think
of the true meaning of the word
athlete? If you care to consult
Mr. Webster on the subject you
will find the following definition
given: athlete, n. One trained
to contend in exercises requiring
great physical agility and strength.
I would suggest that the members
of the recently organized Carroll
County Bloodhounds read and pay
particular attention to the little
word trained. It might serve as
a reminder that strong bodies can
not be built up by late hours and
too many sweets.

1 think that the afore mentioned
Bloodhounds have suffered enough
with their Charley horses, pulled
muscles, and numerous other ail
ments, so we will dismiss them
from our column.
I dislike to say “I told you so,”
but this seems to be an appropriate
time to do so. If you cared enough
to read our last article you noticed
that this writer attempted to pre
dict the winners in several grid
iron contests of that week. Well,
to be modest, we checked up and
found that we actually did guess
the victor in eleven out of thirteen
attempted. We quit with that
record.
I would like to mention the new
athletic program here on our cam
pus. We find that the students
really like the methods used by
our new athletic director with the
exception of one thing. Having
always been a very unscrupulous
person I do not hesitate to say
that the group dancing class of
this year does not compare with
those of the previous years. My
idea, and I think that this goes
for the entire student body, of a
group dancing class in letting the
students go to the gym and en
joy an hour of dancing. This has
been done in the past and we hope
that it can be carried on in a like
manner this year. I can think of
no better way for the boys and
girls to become acquainted than
a good, old fashioned group danc
ing class.
Hoping that I have not bored
you with my aimless prattle and
utter nonsense, I hope to remain,
Your hair-brained sports corres
pondent, Dick Grace.
Mr. I. S. Ingram addressed the
convention, the general theme of
which was “The Development of
Unity in Our Program of Educa
tion.” His talk concerned a closer
relationship between secondary
and higher education, from a col
lege viewpoint. On the same af
ternoon Miss Katie Downs discuss
ed the selection of material for the
lower elementary group. Then
Miss Nettie Brogdon spoke on the
selection of material for the upper
elementary group. Each speaker
was given fifteen minutes for his
topic.

THE WEST GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1937
Large Variety
Of Sports Offered
Athletic Classes
ATHLETIC SYSTEM
The new athletic system is in
fullswing now. All Physical Edu
cation classes are well organized
and are working smoothly. As
announced before by Coach Taylor
these classes are met regularly by
each student just as other classes
are. However, there have been a
few misunderstandings among the
students who have changed classes;
but these errors will be ironed out
and everybody will be working
smoothly.
SPEED-BALL
The speed-ball classes are work
ing hard and should have some
well-shaped teams soon which will
afford all speed-ball fans some real
excitement. There will be several
games played between the differ
ent teams and then the tourna
ment with its fireworks will be
held. This tournament will deter
mine the “Brave” speed-ball
champs.
RIFLERY AND ARCHERY
The riflery and Archery teams
are doing their part also. The
crack of a gun or the twang of a
bow can be heard all during the
Physical Education days. One not
knowing what all this noise was
would thiink that the “Brave”
riflery and archery teams were
waging another “French and In
dian War.”
BASKETBALL
Every Monday afternoon a bas
ketball class is held. This class
consists of about seventy-five boys,
who will either be on the Varsity
team or on the intra-mural teams
when basketball season comes
around. This class will afford the
boys the chance to get used to
handling the basketball before the
season arrives.
TENNIS
The tennis classes are getting
into full swing of the raquette.
Students may be seen on the
courts throughout the day, getting
in shape for the tournament which
will be held in a few weeks. Each
student of each class is working
hard to learn more about tennis.
The tournament which is to be
held should arouse the interest of
the entire student body.
CLASSES FOR RAINY DAYS
On days when the weather does
not permit the classes to be held
on the outside, games are played in
the gymnasium. These games in
clude ping-pong, basketball, and
other games of interest.
