BEAK THE TOM - TOM
A football tournament between
the boys’ barracks got underway
Monday, November 12, with "A”
Barracks winning the opening
game 6 to 0.
The game began at 3:30 with
Milton McLaney kicking off for
A Barracks. It was a short kick
and rolled out of bounds on the
37 yard line. Failing to make a
first down, "B” Barracks was
forced to punt on their last down
and Clyde (Goal Keeper) Gor
don raced with the ball 30 yards
before he was stopped. After 3
plays the ball rested on the 17
yard line with "A” Barracks in
possession of the ball. For 4
plays the forward wall of "B”
Barracks held firm and was re
warded with the possession of the
ball. A couple of passes clicked,
and "B” Barracks advanced to
the midstrip where the first quar
ter ended.
The second quarter found few
changes in the line ups of both
teams. The defense of each team
stiffened and the ball changed
hands many times without either
team gaining a first down. In the
last two minutes of the second
quarter, England (Fireball) Beas
ley caught a sleeper pass and rac
ed down the side lines for a 20

yard gain. "Fireball” Beasley
played so far out on the play that
he stood and watched three plays
from the side line before he was
spotted by "Eagle-eye” Stinson.
The half ended with the score 0
to 0.
At the half, the football fans
were surprised when Burma
Finch and her band gave a con
cert to ease the tension of the
game.
In the second half "Doll Baby”
Johnson kicked off for "B” Bar
racks and "Jr.” Gordon returned
the ball 15 yards. Both teams
showed more P-E-P, P-E-P, (that’s
pep spelled backwards.) Each
team got to the other’s goal line,
but they were repelled by the
hard rushing lines they met. The
third quarter ended with the
score still 0 to 0 as "Baggy” Mc-
Laney predicted it would be.
In the last quarter, short bul
let passes gained considerable
yardage for "B” Barracks while
the backfield of "A” Barracks
was stopped on almost every
play. The battle was nip and
tuck throughout the remainder
of the game, with "A” Barracks
putting on a passing attack in the
last few minutes of the game,
which carried them to the 22
yard line. Clyde "Jr.” faked a
run to the right and threw a long
looping pass to Loyd Culp in the
end zone for the first score of the
game. The try for the extra point
was not good and "A” Barracks
led 6 to 0.
After the kickoff "B” Barracks
found it very hard to crash the
line for any gain. In their last
down "Romeo” McKibben punt
ed a high kick to "Baggy” Mc-
Laney who returned it ten yards.
The "A” Barracks eleven march
ed to the 15 yard line where the
game ended.
After the game, the usual grip
ing from both teams went on.
"A” Barracks claim that the ab
sence of Bill West hindered them
from running up a high score,
while the boys of "B” Barracks
blame their defeat on the fact
that Jimmy Jones had an in
grown toenail and couldn’t play
the entire game and the fact that
the cheer leaders, Sis Waldrip,
Billie Cheney, Mardell Ford, and
Allene Headrick collapsed after
the first score was made.
HOCKEY TOURNAMENTS
A long shrill whistle echoed
from the hockey field, November
13, at 3:30 as the physical educa
tion classes began the first of a
series of hockey tournaments.
The 1:30 B’s downed the 8:55
B’s, 5-0, in the first tilt at 3:30.
"Dribble!” the players shouted
as Reed ran in to make her sec-
THE WEST GEORGIAN
ond goal for the winners. She
was aided by Murdoch, Reynolds,
and Kee, who made one point
each. The losing team was spark
ed by Nations and Goode.
The 10:45 B’s won a 6-1 vic
tory over the 8:55 A’s in the 4:05
game. The outstanding play of
the game occurred when the B’s
goalie, McClure, knocked the
ball from in front of the goal
post to one of her teammates. It
was passed down the field and
Rogers made her second score
for winners. Also pacing the
winners were King and Owens
who made two points each. Back
ing them up with good playing
was McCurdy. Acree, Eidson,
Hughie, and Entrekin were out
standing players on the losing
team.
"Ground, sticks!” the centers
shouted and the 10:45 A’s began
their race for a 3-1 win over the
8:00 B’s. Dukes tallied 2 points
while Seymore made one for the
A’s. The scorers were followed
up by C. Bryant who played a
very good game. Franks scored
the only point for the losers.
Miss Sturgis refered the gam
es. She was assisted by Ward
and Casey, who walked up and
down the side lines shouting:
"sticks”. (Miss Sturgis had a
sore throat). The scorers were
Fuller and Hodgson. Peacock
and Cunningham were the time
keepers.
Other class games are schedul
ed for later dates to determine
the class championship. The best
players in these class games will
be placed on the freshman and
sophomore teams. More players
will be eliminated and the best
ones will become members of the
West Georgia Varsity Hockey
Team.

Campfire Party
Friday night, October 19, 1945
at 7:00 o’clock the B.S.U. gave

INTERESTING
CHAPEL PROGRAMS
Interesting goings -on have
been happening during chapel
the past few weeks.
Friday, November 2, was the
day a group of Young Demo
crats gave such an interesting
playlet, "I Want to Vote”. There
was much truth in what they told
and we appreciate their making
us see the light.
On Tuesday, November 6, Dr.
Charles B. Clark gave an absorb
ing account of our world rela
tions and responsibilities. Since
we’ll soon be helping run the
world, it behooves us to learn all
we can about what we’re going
into.
Friday, November 9, Mr. In
gram talked to us on the pros
and cons of national military
training for American youth.
This, too, is our problem.
