Morton of Georgia was by far the outstanding star of the game, as time after time, aided by per fect Interference, he squirmed and wormed bis way through the bome- llnga for long gains. He showed to hla beat advanuge, however, when he tucked the ball under hla arm and started around the ends. Sherlock also of the Bed and Black was right behind Morton In bU'tH or personal brilliance,' while Kuln and Hollis alio played Jam- pp games, with the entire Bullpup team showing up splendidly.

In ills ath letic program this year haa so ar ranged affairs that while e rtudent does not get to play on the college team, each student vets a generous amount of athletic training and exercises' Mr. Eyler Is a graduate of the University of Georgia and well known In educational sections During recent years the names of local boys have appeared more frequently In the varsity line-ups of Georgia athletic teams- than ever before. Athena has In the part, of course turned out some stars. The Hat Is too long to review, but such nmaes as Rucker, Gordon, McWhorter, I Hodgson, Rawson, Cobb, Pound, Cox and many othera stood out. Usually however these names were strung out through many years. From the time however that Morton Hodgson was cavorting around first base, the number of local boys making the teams slumped. For several years the l/st showed only one or two. then rame Raw- son. Pound, Cox In one year. This year la one of the banner years for Athena along that line. On the varsity football team we have Butler at fullback and KI1-, Patrick, at quarter.

Aa to baseball, we are uncertain with the chances that no local lads will be placed therq.| Next year's football team Is where Athens shines. Kilpatrick, Butler, .Morton, Forbes and Mapp will all make the squad, with the chances that tour of the number will make the varsity. To have five men from one town the else of Athena on a varsity football team at a nq'veralty tho slse of Georgia speaks more than well for the pre liminary training these boyt havo had. Next year, the local high achool will tend several other men op who w<ll give hard battles for places on the Freshman teams.

The visitors we-ro powerless to stop the smashing advahee of the Furman backs and it was simply a case of how large the score would be. The first score came after six minutes of play, after Furman had marched steadily down the field from the kickoff. Captain Carter of Furman kicked goal. Furman outshone Oglethorpe in every department of play. Fur* man passes in the latter part of the game held a prominent placo. Captain Carter. w(th his field goal and all round work starred with Simpson, Water/, who scored three touchdowns, Tillman and Hurlong for FSitman. Gordy wag the outstanding star for Oglethorpe. i he Fairway Alabama never really threatened Tech’s goal but Alabama succeeded in stopping without mu<$h damage. Farnsworth and ^tlbright, more rightly th* latter were the shining lights for Tench while Glllis, Bmtty snd Newton performed best for the visitors. In the third quarter Alabama held Tech for downs on hey own two yard line and Tech’s bhanct for a score slipped away. jng of these boys. The two, work ing together instills not only knowledge and physical education In the boys but makes of them clean athletes.

Morton had Already won the cup once nnd so had Harris, snd It ttr.s natural that real golf should out In the match between the two nnd that’s what happened. Entering the last eighteen holes, Jones had a lead of two up on his opponent Morton did not let that worry him however and began dlppins off pars nnd birdies, until It seem (0 that he was destined to win. Six straight holes he won and it look ed os though he had Jones routed With things looking Just aboic as had as they possibly could Jones turned aloose his stuff and rode home like a major, to win by one up. All thci way, the two played splen41d golf and pars galore, coupled with a few birdies, served i show just what It took to win hole. By winning over Hodgson, Jones >w has two legs on ths cup and needs to win just ones more to k<ep It permanently. Charles E.

The muddy field made the footing unsure and handling of the ball difficult, thus keeping the for ward pass in the background and supplanting it with just straight football, interspersed with a rew end runs.

The Maroons backs plowed, the Invaders line for long gains while other tkllles came as the result of two field goals. oaring the course of the afternoon the lo cals kicked at the uprights from the field for a total of nine times. The Maroons first tally came In the first 40 seconds of play when Captxi'n Weatherly blocked his usual punt and raced 20 yards for a score. The light Elberton lino failed to hold tho teriffic hammering of the Maroons attack which was mostly on straight bucks. For some reason the locals were hold in check and were content with the above score and then came a JufjTlIade of tries at field goals toy drop kicks. All ground gained was made by Wallace .the blonde quar ter for the visitors. The Athens crew began with a rush and noon had things all their way and kept possession of the ball nearly all the time. Only three or four atraight plays were used and these netted well. The locals line charged like a set of wild bulls and tore good openings for the backs. Very few end runs were at tempted.
