«Well, ‘all of our favorites have been eliminated in the conference
tournament so the only alternative for us is to rely on our dark horse
Georgia.
%The Bulldogs have come out of the dark to win the first two games
d‘flg ahd with a dash of power which they perhaps had not exhibited
llnt?‘ the game with the New York Celtics here in January.
Bill Strickland, Georgia’s high scoring ace, has been at it reg
. larly. Although playing only a little over half of the game Fri
day against Mississippi State, he scored 17 points and came back
Saturday night to score 16 against Virginia, conquerors of the
. . highly touted Crimson Tide of Alabama.
'~ wAthens will have her first taste of tournament fight Monday night
‘when Carnesville and Warrenton, winners in the two elimination tour
namens of the Tenth digtrict, meet in Woodruff hall to decide the dis
triet winner. Carnesville, coached by Shorty Parker, a former Georgia
lacrogse, star, and Warrenton, coached by W. C. Cox, another Ceorgia
-man, both have veteran teams and crack forwards. And the two towns
.are behind their teams enmasse. It's going to be a real battle, Harlem
and Bowman, losers in the elimination finals, will play in the prelimi
nary at 8 p. m, for third place.
. wsA _group of young baseball players here are bent on getting a good
team organized for Athens and on getting an early start. Practices
are already underway on the Chase Street diamond, and the boys are
ready for practice games. Any team wishing to play them is asked to
confer with any of the players. e |

Bowman, although playing hard,
was no match for Coach “Shorty”
Parker’'s Carnesville lads in the
finals. The final score was 40 to
22. Bowman, however, gave them
a run for their money in the first
half, trailing by only two points
at the rest period, 17-15. |
Burroughs, forward, with 14
points, and Burton, his running
mate, and Strickland, center, with
110 each, were the dynamoes in
Carnesville's attack. Harris, Bow-i
man center, led his team with 9. |
‘ Down at Warrenton, the War
renton boys played good defensive
ball while their two crack for-
Fwards. S. L. Johnson and Billy
Wheeler, fired away intermittent
ly at the basket with notable suc- |
cess. The tormer got 12 points
and the latter 8, Wells, forward,
with 6, was best for Harlem.

Wheeler was voted the most
~valvable player to his team and
was presented with a fountain
tpen at the close of the game. :
Warrenton, coached by W. C.
Cox, University of Georgia grad

goal until late in the fourth quar
ter. The score was 13 to 2 at the
half. !
I Wheeler, the “wheeling for
ward,” was awarded a fountain
'pen as the “most valuable play
er” to his team. He was also
honored by being selected on the
all-tourney five, selected at the
