Twin Bill Highlights
Field Hockey Season
Th® student body thronged to
Sturgis Field to witness two
hockey tilts between Sophomore
and Freshman teams.
The stadium was decorated for
the occasion. On the sidelines sat
the sponsors, mascots, and specta
tors.
The Freshman teams had as their
sponsors Carolyn Wheeby, while
the Sophomores had three charm
ing men, Monroe Ozment, Ross
Miller, and Harold Pitts adding col
or to their ~ide. Just before the
game the sponsors were presented
corsages. The mascot was a cute
pig, who kept rolling in the dust
(imagine his nerve, after Lantie
Barrett and Dot Owens washed
him).
Game time came! The crowd was
hushed, awaiting the bully. The
teams were off! The Sophomore A
team tied with the Frosh in the
first half but the Sophomores pull
ed ahead and won by a score of 3
to 2. Parker and Wright scored
one point apiece while Dukes took
high scoring honors with three
goals.
In the second tilt the Sophomore
B’s edged out the Freshman B’s by
a score of 2-0. Bonnie B. Hutche
son and Carolyn McCurdy tallied
one goal apiece.
Previous to the final tilts of the
season, the two Sophomore and
two Freshman squads met.
In the first game, the Freshman
A’s beat the Sophomore B’s 2-1.
June Broom scored two points and
Jane Wright and Prince scored one
apiece.
The Freshman B’s met the Soph
omore A’s. The Sophs won 3-0.
Dorothy Owen, Lucy Dukes, and
Evelyn Entrekin made the points.
Oglethorpe U. Hits
13th Win, Licking
Braves 47 to 26
The winning streak of Oglethorpe
University continued and added an
other victim January 16, as the
Braves of W.G.C. were defeated 47
to 26 before a capacity crowd on
the court.
The Braves started the game off
on fast breaks showing good form,
but the Petrels of Oglethorpe came
back quickly to gain a lead they
held desperately for the remainder
of the game. A. Johnson paced the
Petrels in scoring and opened the
scoring attack that placed them in
a 28 to 13 lead at the end of the
half.
Coming back in full strength af
ter the half time rest, the Petrels
began a wide open offensive and
soon went way ahead of W.G.C. on
the score board. Johnson’s one
hand push shots never failed to
find the hoop and accounted for 18
of the Petrels’ points. Devany play
ed an excellent floor game and
broke up many of the W.G.C. fives’
plays.
This victory was the 13th win out
of 14 starts. The only game the
Petrels have dropped this year was
to the fast stepping Panama City
Quintet by a margin of 1 point.
Young Harris College felt the Pet
rels’ full power when a huge score
of 103 to 30 was racked up against
them.

St. Bernard Downs
West Georgia By
Score of 64 to 39
Coach Charley Richards took his
fast stepping St. Bernard team
back to Cullman, Alabama January
13 with a 64 to 39 victory over the
Braves of West Georgia.
The first quarter was hard fought
with both hitting the hoop with 12
points each and holding a deadlock
for a short while. Close guarding
held each team to a minimum of
scoring.
The white jerseyed lads of St.
Bernard lost no time in getting
their lead established in the open
ing minutes of the second quarter
and carried it throughout the con
test. Wilkerson’s foul shot account
ed for the sole W.G.C. talley and
left the score 29 to 13 as the half
came to a close.
West Georgia never got into the
ball game in the third period. Out
scored and seemingly out of shape,
the Braves couldn’t hold the Cull
man quintet down, and consequent
ly lost out on the scoring. Lynn
layed five straight crip shoots in
the basket and put St. Bernard out
in front by 52 to 19.
In the final period Wilkinson be
gan to click and uio team
up on a scoring spree. Fast breaks
and long shots put St. Bernard in
a race for the victory but as time
ran out the Braves still lagged be
hind by 64 to 39.

“And now let us ‘play like’ we
are kittens and hunt rats to the
strains of Auld Lang Syne’’—“or
elephants—who can swing their
trunks most gracefully!”
That’s what you’ll hear if you
stick your ear to the key hole in
the Gym during Miss Sturgis’ 11:40
Folk Dancing Class!
After having been every kind of
animal possible, and soldiers and
windmills too, the students form a
circle and play “Skip to my Lou”
and “Farmer in the Dell.”
If you see some unfortunate girl
walking as if her legs were sticks,
don’t laugh or stare. It’s pathetic;
it’s the after effects of folk danc
ing.
I’ve got to stop here and prac
tice the Polka (provided Mrs. Shan

falling downstairs.)
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Ranburne Practices On
West Georgia Court
The Ranburn, Alabama High
School baseketball team, under the
leadership of Coach York, held a
practice session on the local court
January 14.
The Alabama lads floored a good
team and really showed the college
team a lesson in as far as hustling
goes. They have won four games
this season while dropping only
one. Last year this same team
won the Cleburne County cham
pionship and are headed in the
same direction again this year.
West Georgia is the closest gym
within eighteen miles of Ranburn,
so practices on indoor courts are
very limited. However, Coach
York has done a fine piece of coach
ing at Ranburn and at present is
seeking a game with the Carrollton
High Tojans and if this game is
scheduled, it will be played on the
W.G.C. court.
Coach York expressed his thanks
for the fine hospitality that he and
his team have received at West
Georgia by saying, “While we have
used your gym, West Georgia has
treated us royally. Your coach has
treated us magnificiently, and from
Uij oottwi.i of our hearts we thank
you sincerely.”
Radio Station
Bows To W.G.C.
Wilkinson shoots 22 points as
Braves take practice tilt 53 to 39 —
A steady stream of points flowed
from the local court January 14 as
the Braves downed the Carrollton
radio station 53 to 39.
The game was close during the
first half with the Braves holding
a slight edge over WLBB and. for
the first time this season, seemed
to play together. Wilkinson’s ore
hand push shots accounted for 14
of the Braves 33 points while Smith
kept the floor covered with close
guarding and retrieving rebounds.
The second half saw the game
picking up in speed and subs fiV.ng
in for W.G.C. The Braves still
held their own and commanded a
considerable lead all during the re
mainder of the game. Burch show
ed up well in handling the ball and
faking off his guard. Wilkinson
showed exceptional ability in his
shooting and keeping a hawk-eye
on the ball. With Smith’s floor
game coming to the front, the
Braves kept the ball in their poses*
sion most of the time and this
alone contributed a deal toward
the victory.
