(Seating, the
GIRLS BASKETBALL OFF TO
GOOD START
The girl*’ basketball games got off
to a big bang this year by having
three games Thursday afternoon, Jan.
11th.
The first game, at 3:15, was really
a whiz. It was between 10:45 A, with
Broadrick as captain and 1:15 B with
Emily Barrett, Saidee Scott and Jane
was close and at the end of the third
quarter, the score was tied 11-11.
Broadrick, S. N. Barrett and Bozeman
were good for the 10:45 class, while
Emily Barrett, Sadie Scott and Jane
Goode played well for 1:15. Little
Miss Goode was too "Goode” for the
10:45 class and she broke the tie.
This was a swell game. The Barrett
sisters have really got what it takes.
Too bad they are on opposite sides,
or is it???
The final score of this game was 7-3
in I:ls’s favor.
The next game was between 10:45
B and 1:15 B. The Peacock twins
and V. Doss were the forwards for
the 1:15 class and they really put the
ball through the goals. Martin and
Jordan played well for the 1:45 class.
The final score of this game was????
The last game was between 10:45
C with Ward as captain and 1:15 C
with Bobbie Stepp as captain. Ward’s
team won this game by a horrible
score of 36-6. Helen Dyer, Price and
Dozier were in there fighting for
their team. Kidd, Ward, Putnam
and Shepherd were the stars for
10:45.
The referees of the preceding
games were Nixon, Broadrick and
Crowder with Hollingsworth, E. Bar
rett and Gloria Peacock as umpires.
There were other officials of the game
such as timekeeper and scorer and we
musn’t forget Miss Sturgis.
The cheering section was "on the
ball 0 that afternoon and the girls cer
tainly appreciated the students show
ing an interest.
Hobbs Makes Twenty Points
On January 15, we met with an
other series of games. The first game
was between 8:00 B and 8:00 C. This
was a fast moving game with 8:00 C
running away with the score by a
victory of 46-14. The outstanding
players in this game were Hobbs, who
shot 20 points and Broadrick for 8:00
C while Garner played well for the
B team.
The next game was between 1:15 C
with Nixon as captain and 8:00 D
with Lunsford as captain. Nixon set
a fast and furious pace and was back
ed up by Becky Hunt who shot the
only six points of the game for her
side. At the beginning of the second
quarter, referee Kidd had to take time
out to find the ball. Hall, and Flint
played well for the 8:00 D team.
This team finally won 10-6.
The last game of the day was be
tween 1:15 A with E. Barrett cap
tain and 1:15 B with Gloria Peacock,
captain. This was a grand-slam game
with 1:15 A winning 18-12. Miss
Sturgis says that this was the best
game of the afternoon. Although
Goode and Barrett were on the same
side, it seemed that they would have
a fight over who could ring the most
goals. The Post-Mistress, Saidee Scott
was taking part in these games and
believe me, she really konws what
she’s doing. And if you don’t want to
scrub up the floor don’t get near her.
Am I right, Flint??? For the 1:15 B
class Gloria Peacock and Doss were
good. Doss had a little private ac-
cident out there. What was your
trouble, kid? Sara Putnam also did
a good job of refereeing this game.
Mr. Phillips Acts as Spectator
On January 18, we had another
series of games. This time 8:00 A
and 10:45 C crashed in a hard bat
tle. Ward, captain of 10:45 was real
ly on the ball—she shot 18 for the
winners. During the game Mr. Phil
lips, while putting up shades, walked
calmly up and down the courts quite
interested in the game. Eckles and
Rogers played well for 8:00 A. Ref
eree Hollingsworth called a personal
foul on Burton for riding. Now Miss
Hollingsworth, will you please tell us
where that is in the rules? The final
score of the game was 26-22 in favor
10:45. The spectators were unusual
ly good this afternoon.
The second game was between 8:00
C and 8:00 D with Terrell, captain of
C and Lunsford captain of D. This
was a tight game with 8:00 C win
ning just 21-18. In this game we
found Miss Vivian Hall, the great
transfer from Bessie Tift and hails
from Villa Rica. She really knows
how to ring the goals. Helen Owings
who hails from Gore is plenty good
too. Jollie Terrell puts a crook on
the ball that makes it go in every
time.
Now we come to the semi-final
game which was between 10:45 C and
8:00 C. This was a good tough game
and 10:45 proved to be the best by
winning 14-8. Among the specta
tors at this game we found Ned Rob
erts. He was heard saying "believe
they play better’n boys. All they do
is push and charge. Looks like a foot
ball game.” Saidee Scott took part
in this game and over the gym one
could hear her favorite expression
"Corn.” Jean Hobbs did a grand
job of sinking the ball in the goal
from the center of court.
These games have certainly been
good and with the final coming up,
we know it’s going to be good.
BOYS PLAY FIRST "REAL”
GAME OF THE YEAR
One thing has been established as
a fact in the past few days of basket
ball. That fact is that the valiant
West Georgia quintet is no one man
team. While the hopes of the sea
son were pinned mainly on dynamic
(?) Murphy Banks, the team came
through in fine style despite his ab
sence in the last contest. Banks, just
two hours before the game, contracted
a strange tropical disease known as
hyperbolamos and therefore did not
start the game. Banks was rushed to
the Carrollton hospital and remained
there under observation for the rest
of the evening.
Nevertheless, the game was played
—and won by the mournful members
remaining after the epidemic wreck
ed havoc to the team’s chances. From
the opening whistle till the game end
ed in a "slight” disagreement, the
West Georgians out-played the Sewell
ites of Bremen in a fast, exciting, and
short game.
The Sewell men were rather compe
tent on shot-making but the superior
speed and endurance paid off in the
end for the homelings.
This aforementioned speed and en
durance constituted the trump card
of the West Georgians. From the
start of the game, the boys covered
the court at a remarkable clip and
showed no sign of weariness when the
THE WEST GEORGIAN
game cn IsJ at the half-time. Ru
dolph Murphy was a standout at the
guard position. Rudy was everywhere
on the court at the same time (al
most). He was a severe pain to the
Bremen offense and also garnered his
share of the tallies. Acree, back from
last year, turned in his usual fine
game along with Johnson, Dempsey
and Wright.
The game, when it was terminated
by the dispute, was being led by the
collegiates to the tune of 10-6. The
gymnasium was filled with students
who gave a Sinatra audience a close
run in the noise produced. With
each collegiate point, the roof was
raised six inches. The boys’ game
followed the finals of the girls’ tourn
ament which was also a thriller. This
was the first game of the season here
and was a pronounced success.
