TOUGH GAMES CONTINUE AS
GOALS ARE MADE
The hardest and most looked for
wnrd-to games of the season started
when the Sophomore A and B teams
and the Freshman A and B teams
were selected on January 29, 1945.
The Sophomore A and Freshman A
teams met in a "jam-up” game with
no less than the Freshman winning
27-24. Ward and E. Barrett were good
for the Freshman and together they
shot 22 points. Ferol Bozeman was
good at shooting for the Sophomores
with Barrett, S. N., and Scott as
guards.
On the same afternoon the Fresh
man B and Sophomore B. This was a
rather close game but with the Fresh
man still coming out on top 12-9.
Kidd was best shooter for the Sophs
and Terrell for the Freshmen, both
shooting six points each.
On February 1, 1945 the winners
of the two previous games and the
losers played also. This put Fresh
man A and Freshman B together.
This was an up-roaring game with
Freshman A winning all over the
Freshman B team 28-13. The high
point men in this game was Eckles,
who shot 11 points for the B team.
Goode and Emily Barrett together
shot 24 points for A team both shoot
ing the same amount.
The same day the losers played
each other and what do you know?
Sophomore B won 15-11. It was a
real tight game, too.
On February 5, Freshman A play
ed Sophomore B in a game that turn
ed out to be pitiful. The Freshman
"tromped” all over the poor Sopho
mores by a score of 31-14. Kidd was
again the high point man for the
Sophomores shooting 9 points. Goode
shot 14 points for the Freshman. The
guards for both sides did remarkably
good work.
The second game of this day was
between Sophomore A and Freshman
B. This is one time the Sophomore
spoke for themselves by defeating the
Freshman 21-11.
Again we see Ekles in there gett
ing most of the points. She shot 8
this time. Bozeman and Broadrick did
good work for the Sophomores.
CLASS TOURNAMENTS
CONTINUE
On February 12 another tourna
ment was started between the classes.
The first was between 8:00 A and
10:45 C. 8:00 A won this game by
a score of 17-11. Eckles played in
tins game, too, and shot 12 points for
the high score man. Peacock played
well for the opposite team. The sec
ond game was between 10:45 A and
1:15 B. This was a tight game up
until the last quarter when 1:15 B
made their points to defeat 10:45
32-20. Broadrick did the shooting
for 10:45 while little Mary Edna
Weaver did a grand job of. guarding.
She may be little but we don’t mind
that. Rebecca Hunt shot 18 points for
the 1:15 B class. She, too, is a little
kid but she knows her business.
On February 15, 8:00 B went
against 1:15 A and speaking of a
close game—this was it. 8:00 B won
by one point the score being 13-12.
The Peacock twins played for the los
ing team. Too bad children—we
know you can do better. Lanier shot
6 points for the winners.
The second game was between 8:00
A and 1:15 B. This was another tight
game with 8:00 A winning by only
1 point with the score at 24-23. Hunt
shot 18 points for the losers with
Eckles and Hobbs shooting the points
for the winners. This seemed to be a
day for close games.
The results of the remaining tour
nament games will be in the next
adition.
GIRLS DEFEAT CARROLLTON
TOWN TEAM
On February 8, 1945 our girls
played their first real game of the
year with the Carrollton Town Team.
"West” won 26-23 and we don’t call
this beginner’s luck. We’ve really got
a ball team. The whole team did an
excellent job and believe me girls,
the student body is proud of you.
How about doing it again sometime?
ADAMSON DEFEATS
MANDEVILLE
The night of February 15, was an
exciting one when Adamson and
Mandeville met in a hair-raising
game. The teams ran side by side
through the whole game with Adam
son coming out on top with a score of
23-20. All three forwards for both
sides shot the same amount of goals
and the guards had the poor for
wards really covered. It was a grand
game and we want to thank the stu
dent body for taking such an inter
est.
V
BOY’S TEAM LED BY
SPIRIT OF CHIPLEY
Despite spirited playing by the
homelings and despite spirited cheer
ing from the sidelines by Cadenhead,
the West Georgains lost a fighting
game to the boys from Berry College
to the tune of 27-20. The Genolians
were never out of the game until the
fading moments when the visitors be
gan to drop in the points with seem
ing ease.
Cadenhead’s loud and boisterous
cheering led the boys to maintain a
stiff race in the first half, the score
at intermission being 13-11 in favor
of Berry. Although Clarence didn’t
play at all, his spirit was pounding
the court at all times, dumping in
point after point. However, through
some technicality, the points made by
the "Spirit of Chipley” didn’t add
materially to the W. G. C. total.
Miller and Berry led the night’s
scoring with 13 points while "Buck
Estes took top honors for the home
boys with six.
The complete scoring went as fol
lows:
Berry College Pos. W. G. C.
Miller (13) F Acree (3)
Howell (3) F. Dempsey (2)
Hutcheson (8) C. Wright (3)
Harris (2) G. Stevens (2)
Seymour (1) G. Johnson (0)
Although he fouled out, Johnson
said to tell you folks that he played
a grand defensive game. Banks was
still out and therefore the team was
not its "tops.”
The team’s record at present stands
at: three wins (Sewell, Hubbard, and
Grantville) and two losses (both to
Berry).

Don’t worry if your job is small
And your rewards are few;
Remember that the mighty oak,
Was once a nut like you.
—Peabody Palladium.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
JUST A SMALL
MARGIN
Out of the many events on the
campus lately, the one that amused
the students most, was the Faculty-
Student Volleyball game. About two
minutes before the game the faculty
entered and the poor students didn’t
know whether to run or stay. You see,
they couldn’t decide whether that was
the faculty or a bunch of gypsies.
First seen was Mrs. Abbott, leading
the line. She didn’t take part in the
game but stayed on the sideline and
jumped. Occasionally she’d light up
her pipe. Miss Chute was next in line
with a hooped skirt and colors that
didn’t match. Miss Sturgis was dress
ed as a kid and quite often did a
ballet dance across the court. Miss
Koontz, dressed as an Indian acted as
Mr. Hawkins’ assistant. He, being so
fat he couldn’t stand up, wes helped
up "numerously” by Miss Koontz. Mr.
Adams was dressed as a dancer and
did a good job of playing except
when he had to take a picture. Miss
Harrington, dietitian, in her white
suit was kidded from the sideline
about being too weak to play because
of no food. Sue Williams and Miss
Todd were the other players and
quite often joined in the war dance.
The students won by a small margin.
DEMOCRACY
We received a letter from the
Writers’ War Board the other day
asking for a statement on "The Mean
ing of Democracy.”
It presumably is our duty to com
ply with such a request, and it is cer
tainly our pleasure.
Surely the board knows what de
mocracy is. It is the line that forms
on the right. It is the "don’t” in
"don’t shove.” It is the hole in the
stuffed shirt through which the saw
dust slowly trickles; it is the dent in
the high hat.
Democracy is the recurrent suspi
cion that more than half of the peo
ple are right more than half of the
time. It is the feeling of privacy in
the voting booths, the feeling of
communion in the libraries, the feel
ing of vitality everywhere.
Democracy is a letter to the editor.
Democracy is the score at the begin
ning of the ninth.
It is an ideal which hasn’t been dis
proved yet, a song the words of
which have not gone bad. It’s the
mustard on the hot dog and the
cream in the coffee.
Democracy is a request from a war
board, in the middle of a morning in
the middle of the war, wanting to
know what democracy is.
—The New Yorker.

Presenting
Of cordial interest to their many
friends is the marriage of Miss Wilda
Seagraves, of West Georgia faculty,
to Walter John Woodruff, 2nd en
gineer of the Merchant Marine, bro
ther of Miss Jane Woodruff. The
marriage took place February 7, 1945
at Fayetteville, Georgia. The groom
has returned to the west coast where
he will resume his duties.
HOW ABOUT YOUR COURSE
IN CAMPUSOLOGY?
By ED JOHNSON
Well, how about it? Are you pass
ing or flunking? Is it slow and slug
gish like the morning after the night
before or as full of vim and vigor
as a Purnia fed chick?
This is not an advertisement for
Carter’s Little Liver Pills, Wampole’s
Cod-Liver Oil or Laying Mash but
just a little purely personal, between
you ’n’me questioning.
Tell me, is your girl’s taste dif
ferent lately? This is not due to apple
honey or any such like; but probably
some unjustifiable act of your own
manufacture. Maybe you winked at
that cute little blonde in the store.
Now, who mentioned peroxide?
You know you get lots more suds
from Super Suds. Some of the mem
bers of the once stronger but now
much, much weaker sex could get lots
more response from a "Super Line.”
Just a little hint about the "Super
Suds.” Don’t try and buy any ’cause
Miss Harrington solemnly swears that
she used the last bit in the macaroni
cheese compound which we choked
down one day last week.
Always when you pass by Adamson
you see a couple or two sitting on
the porch discussing. Aw, you know
what!!
He might be raving in this fashion.
"Your eyes are like azure, limpid
pools and are pure ecstasy to gaze in
to.”
"Your ears. Oh, your ears!! So
small and so definitely shell-like.”

This might continue with luck on
your side, for about five minutes, then
as surely as Mr. Adams is late, Miss
Ward hoves into earshot.
Immediately the exclamations con
cerning "pools” and "shells” changes
into, "Say, do you know the square
root of 27” or, "Don’t you think the
faculty are the nicest people?”
This sudden change in tone and
quality of voice may not affect your
campusology course in any positive
manner but will help tide you over
with teacher.
Does your girl act in a "so be it”
fashion where you’re concerned?
A good way to get this type hep to
the affirmative is to escourt her to
the show and buy the popcorn with
out having to depend on her for
the last 15c that you spend.
If, on the other hand some wild
and wooly female starts chasing after
you like a greyhound after an electric
rabbit you’d better head for the woods
brother and head fast or you’re sunk’-
er’n the Jap navy.
