MEN’S SPORTS
Capt. Henderson’s touch foot
ball team won the tournament
and each player of the team was
awarded a school letter. The W
Club is busy planning the initia
tion for the members recently
taken into the organization. The
members are going on a hike the
first of next quarter.
The Men’s Physical Education
Class is going to give the mem
bers who are to be inducted in
to the army a farewell party be
fore the Christmas holidays.
Bobbie Moore, Hugh Moss and
Harry Perry have contributed a
lot to West Georgia’s Athletics.
All three students have won
some kind of recognition on the
various athletic teams. Harry
Perry was captain of one of the
touch football teams. Bobbie
Moore is an accomplished basket
ball player, and Hugh Moss is
competition for the expert at
tennis. These students have said
that physical education has been
a vital part of their training at
West Georgia. Their knowledge
and skill in elementary military
should impress their sergeants
very favorably.
Members of the losing football
team will have a chance to win
a letter in basketball next quar
ter. The losing team in the bas
ketball tournament will have to
treat the winners and their dates
to a movie or a picnic. Therefore,
both teams are expecting good
backing and plenty of cheer lead
ers from the girls of the campus.
Competition between the teams
will be very keen and much en
thusiasm is being aroused. It is
safe to assume that much of the
holidays will be spent practicing
basketball in an effort to master
the fine arts of the game.

WOMEN’S SPORTS
Red and White! Blue and
White! Pigs! Posters! Vegetable
corsages! What was it all about?
The final game of the West
Georgia Girls’ Intramural Soccer
tournament was played Wednes
day, December 1, amid fluttering
crepe paper and cheers from both
sides.
After the freshmen, dressed in
blue and white, had taken their
positions on the field, the sophs
clad in red and white marched
onto the field carrying posters
with no good messages for the
freshmen. Following the play
ers was the sophomore’s mascot,
a white pig adorned with red
bows and urged on by Hugh
Moss and Neysa Moseley.
The high point of the after
noon was the “Rose-Bowl” kick
off by the educated toe of Presi
dent Ingram.
The freshmen scored two
points soon after the beginning
of the first qaurter when the
left wing, Caroline Hollings
worth, punted the ball through
the goal. Plenty of hard playing
but no goals marked the second
quarter of the game.
At the half, the freshmen put
the sophs in their places with a
pair of crutches and a lot of
bandages. Bobbie Cobb repre
senting the sophomore victim
was helped onto the field by
Geneva Heath. They carried a
sign reading “Sophomores-After.”
The freshmen cheer leaders gave
out with a lot of yelling for the
frosh team.
Claudia Walters, center for
ward on the sophomore team
evened up the score in the third
quarter. Evenly matched teams
could not break the tie even in a
fourth quarter that lasted twen
ty-eight minutes. Further proof
of the fact that one team was as
good as the other was the game
Tuesday afternoon which also
ended in a 2-2 tie.
From the freshmen and sopho
more teams, a varsity soccer
team was selected. Congratula
tions are in order for the follow
ing who make up the varsity
team: Opal Beck, Glenn Crow
der, Caroline Hollingsw ort h,
Joyce Henderson, Nan Manley,
Margaret Griffith, Louise Broad
rick, Gladys Weaver, Claudia
Walters, Nancy McClure, and
Sara Davenport.
From the freshmen girls, the
vice-president and treasurer of
W. A. A. are elected. After the
conclusion of the soccer tourna
ment, the freshmen were able to
make good selections for these
offices. The new vice-president
is Opal Beck, and Nan Manley
will be in charge of the money
henceforth.
