THE WEST GEORGIAN
Copy of Dr. Adams Thesis
Sent Library In Paris
Continued from Page One
“La Litterature Americaine,” by
Charles Cestre, which was a brief
history of American literature. The
book made little mention, how
ever, of North Carolina literature,
and Miss Reddick called this fact
to the attention of the North Ca
olina chapter of the American As
sociation of Teachers of French at
its meeting in Winston-Salem in
1948.
At this meeting Miss Reddick
suggested that the members col
lect and send to the American Li
brary in Paris books by North
Carolinians about the Tar Heel
State. The members unanimously
agreed to do so and recently the
books were on their way overseas
through the courtesy of the Smith
sonian Institute, which took care
of the shipment.
In addition to Dr. Holmes and
Miss Reddick, Prof. Hugo Giduz
of the University here is a mem
ber of the special book commit
tee.
Authors represented in the col
lection include Thomas Wolfe,
Herbert J. Muller, Paul Green, O.

raise enough money for a student
body dance.
Any veterans who are not mem
bers of the club and would like
to join should attend the next
meeting. They will be warmly ac
cepted.

BASKETBALL GAMES
The West Georgia Braves open
ed the 1950 season by losing to
the Oglethorpe “Petrels” 70 to 52
and then the University of Geor
gia, Atlanta Division, 66 to 45.
They came back, however, to de
feat Marion Institute 35 to 31 in
their first home court appearance.
They showed much improvement
in their win over Marion and put
up a great fight before falling
a deadl yand highly rated Berry
College.
Coach Welch was highly pleas
ed with the showing of his Braves
and commented on the fact by
stating that “The game was the
best I have seen since coming to
West Georgia.” The coach refuses
to single out any one outstanding
player, but is content with his
starting five against Berry. In
this five he has height in Garrett,
Goebel, and Thompson; speed and
play making in his two guards,
James Massey and Green Wil
liams; and each of these boys is
capable of scoring with the least
possible break, especially Wayne
Thompson who has given the fans
such a thrill and the opposition
such a headache with his tremen
dous one-handed push shots from
“way out”. These boys are ably
backed up by Charles “Double
dribble” Perry, Charlie Graham,
Gerald Daly, Harry Alford, Wales
Goebel, Barry Ricketson, Billy
Hall, Rogers, and “Preacher”
Brown.
In the game with the University
of Georgia, Atlanta Division, the
Braves made quite a show of it
for more than three quarters, but
then they went to pieces and gave
the Atlanta team just too much
of a lead to get back in the game,
even with a tremendous surge in
the closing minutes of the game.
Bob Garrett scored thirteen points
and Green Williams scored eleven
to lead the scoring for the West
Georgia team. High scorers for
the University were Bloodworth
and Hays with 18 and 16 talleys
to their credit respectively.
West Georgia came back to Car
rollton for their next game and
downed a good team from Marion
Institute to the tune of 35 to 31.
WGC To Compete In SJCC
Cage Tournament
February 27 and 2
West Georgia will take part in
the first annual basketball tour
nament of the Southern Junior
College Conference to be held in
Snead Junior College in Boaz,
Ala., February 27 and 28. This
will be the first meeting of teams
from all the schools in the newly
formed conference.
The institutions represented will
be Gordon, Middle Georgia, West
Georgia, Marion, Snead, St. Ber
nard, Martin, and Hiwassee.
It was announced that while
the tournament is in progress a
meeting will be held of all the
coaches and officials for the pur
pose of forming schedules for the
1951 basketball season.
In order to get the new confer
ence off to a good start, Snead has
offered to pay all expenses of the
tournament.
CARROLL THEATRE
FOR THE BEST IN ENTERTAINMENT!
—COMING ATTRACTIONS!—
January 27-28—“ GREAT LOVER"
February 5-6—“ SANDS OF IWO JIMA"
February 12-13— ’“BATTLEGROUND"
The Braves very much improved
and took advanta'ge of aii the
breaks to finally cop this close
game. Green Williams was head
hatchetman in the scoring depart
ment by scalping the Cadets for
11 points. Wayne Thompson and
Vic Goebel followed Williams
closely, however, with 10 points
each. It is interesting to note that
Green Williams, who wears num
ber 11 on his jersey, has account
ed for 11 points in two of the four
games thus far this season.
In their next engagement the
Braves tackled the highly touted
Berry College five and gave the
visitors much more than they had
bargained for before falling under
the deadly shooting of the Rome
boys by the score of 51 to 42. West
Georgia was out for this victory
and came mighty close to getting
it. The Braves matched the Ber
ry boys goal for goal in the second
half both having eleven field goals
in that period. The Braves swish
ed the basket on eight out of nine
tries for foul shots. The difference
between the two teams was in the
percentage of field goals hit Berry
connected with forty per cent of
their shots from the floor whereas
West Georgia only tallied with
twenty-eight per cent of theirs.
The game was good all the way
through and there is a strong pos
sibility that when the Braves get
a few more games under their belt
the return game at Berry will be
different. Commenting on this
game, Brave mentor “Shag”
Welch stated that this was the
best game his team has played
since he began coaching at WGC.
Just to show what is meant by a
“balanced team” look at the indi
vidual scoring records for West
Georgia’s starting five: Thompson,
9; Garrett, 8; Vic Goebel, 7; Wil
liams, 9; and Massey, 9. If you
will add those figures you will
come to the grand total of 42
which is the West Georgia score.
The high scorers for Berry were
Wilson with 19 points and Mizell
with 11.
