G.M.C. Defeated By Athens Hi By Gose Score (By A. T.) The Athens High school defsated the cadet five of the Georgia Military college, 33 to 23, last night. It was one of the best games that the High school has played this year and no doubt It applies to G. M. C. as well. The High school ted G. M. C. all the way and only once waa the cadets as close aa three points to the lead that the local boys had set. Fouls were very numerous on both sides, but no one man received enough to be eliminated from further partici pation. The passing of both teams was about even, with the cadets winning the honors on guarding. Clever guard ing by the G. M. C. squad robbed the High schcol of more points than was comfortable at times. The guarding of the locals was rather loose at In tervals, and shots by the opposition were easy. G. M. C. was defeated, but not un til the whistle had Mowed did she know it. The cadets put up a won derful exhibition and steady playing under handicaps mark them s good team.

During the period of the existence of the Athens clnb, the people of this city have had many reasons to know that the club Is composed of men who are willing to assume places of leadership and cooperation In the real constructive undertakings for the good of the community. But a great many who may retard the Rotary organisa tion very highly. Judging only from the nature of Its activities, are not at all acquainted with the history ol the organisation at a world move ment and they know hot little con cerning the creed which appears to be Juat the kind of a bond to bold to gether a hunch of live wires such as have taken such an active Interest In things here since the organisation of the local club In 1920. In order that everybody may know Just what a Rotary club Is, what Its teachings are. why It has such a small, restricted membership, why the wives of Its members are such enthu siastic supporters of Its activities, the club men have decided to devote oor entire meeting to a discussion and consideration of the several phases of the club's orgsntxatlon.
