WORD FROM NAPS
THAT TRET COME
Manager O’Callaghan, of
Georgian hotel, has received word
from Mr. Benard, vice president of
the Cleveland Naps, that his men
would arrive here in two bunches, one
began. The sophomores, at first 1 ?" Sunday, March 1, and the othe|
eomed to have the advantage, but the Monday, the -d. The men who get
freshmen soon rallied and by consist-
rried the ball over. The
fighting was fiercest in the last quar-
nd the* old-timers, at this stage,
i scene whic’A bor$ a close re
semblance to the old class scrap, the
ly difference being the great ball in
renter of the mix-up.
ic freshman victory came as quite
rprise, the sophomores having
practically ceded the game. From
the s|
if
here Sunday will come from Cleve
land, while the other crowd is com
ing from New Orleans, where they
are now in training. Including play
ers, trainers, managers and newspa
per men, the total number of the
bunch will be up in the neighborhood
of fifty. The entire fifth floor of the
Georgian hotel has been reserved for
them.
_ The Naps will be here in Athens for
rotators' point of view it seemed something like three or four weeks,
freshmen won by their abil- and will train on Sanford field, which
hit straight into the ball when
It was in the air, while- the sopho
mores on the other hand were only
to reach it from beneath.
-h hall is now an established cus
tom at the University, and in a few
: tho old-time scraps wifi have
forgotten save hy those only who
cipated. To the spectators the
garni- is not nearly so interesting as
the regular intercollegiate sports, but
at the same time it is a very novel
a’d efficient means of handling the
under-class supremacy activities.
At the game today several of the
hoys were taken out on account of
injuries, and two were rather pain
fully hurt, all received knocks and
bruises of more or less consequence.
It was ascertained after the game that
b-th Messrs. I.ufburrow and Paine
*ore getting along nicely and that
their injuries were of only slight tem
poral v nature.
The footlyill men acted as judges,
fc'hilc Coach Cunningham refereed.
C.'ptain Thompson, of the sophomores,
played a hard game, while Captain
Thrash arid Sub-captains Everett and
M Whortcr of the freshmen did stellar

responsible for the voctory of their
Mr. Bernard pronounced to bo one of
the best natural fields- in 'America.
They will bring with them several
stars, including the famous Lajoie.
Exactly what inroads the Fedcrals
have been making upon the Naps is
not known here.
Several exhibition games will be
played with the University nine and
other teams so that the Athens fans
will have ample opportunity of wit
nessing some good pre-season ball.

Gifted. Scholar at
the Colonial
Sunday
The men's service, held at the Co
lonial opera house last Sunday after
noon, that was addressed by Mr. E. C.
Mercer, accomplished so much good
and aroused such deep interest on
the part of the men assembled there,
that the rel j ious committee of the
■Young Men’s Christian Association
feel very much concernd about the
meeting that is to be held Sunday
next at the Colonial.
They feel that the strongest man
possible to secure, who would be able
to deliver an address to men that
would be clear and convincing and
inspirational, was the man needed,
and they have invited as the speaker
for that occasion Rev. M. A. Jenkins,
who for two years was pastor of the
First Baptist church in this city, and
who has consented to deliver an ad
dress on the subject, “Facing Life’s
Inevitables.”
Dr. Jenkins is one of the most at
tractive speakers to men in this south
land. He is a wonderfully gifted and
scholarly preacher, and he knows the
needs of the human heart, and is able
to bring a message from the Word of
God and from the heart of the Heav
enly Father that has help and strength
in it for men.
The religious committee of the
Young Men’s Christian Associathm ia
very anxious that a large attendance
of men be present Sunday to hear thia
gifted man of God.
The meeting will be open at 3:30
by an orchestral concert and at 4
o’clock the service proper will begin.
The Georgia Day exercises were
held in the University chapel today at
o'clock.
Rev. C. C. Jarrell of the First Meth
odist church led in prayer. Col. C. N.
Swelling then made a few introductory
remarks introducing the speaker of
the day, Miss Mildred Rutherford.
In 1838 William Rutherford grad
uated from the University of Georgia
taking an A. B. degree. Eighteen
years later Prof. Rutherford accepted

University.
Miss Mildred is the daughter of this
man and there is no southerner more
devoted to the south than she.” Col.
Snelling closed his introduction , by
saying that he first entered the Uni
versity more than a quarter of a cen
tury ago as assistant to Prof. William
Rutherford.
Miss Rutherford spoke most enthu
siastically of Georgia.
I am never enjoying myself more
than when speaking to Georgia boys
and girls about Georgia. Most heartily
do I commend the work of “Georgia
Club” at the State Normal School con
ducted by Prof. E. C. Branson. Study
your own state. Know about all the
great men and great deeds that Geor
gia can boast of.”
Do you know why Gen. Oglethorpe
organized the colony now known as
Georgia? It was the only one of the
13 colonies that was founded in an
unselfish spirit. Their motto was, “Not
for themselves, but for others.” It
was the only military colony. It was
the only colony that had a “vagrancy
act.” It ruled out liquor and also
slavery. Not because it thought there
was any wrong in having slaves but
because slaves were inducive to lazi
ness.
Georgia was the first to maintain
an orphan asylum. It will be found
that Georgia was one of the mo3t pa
triotic of the colonies. By patriotic
Miss Rutherford had a great deal
to say as to religious patriots, home
patriots and patriots of our country.
“The United States is the world*!
United States greatest asset. Georgia
is the greatest asset of the south. The
greatest asset. The south is the
University of Georgia is the grey
est asset of Georgia. And Athena is
the greatest asset of the University.
Be patriotic. Be true to your state
and to your country; to your own
the chair of mathematics in the Uni- home place. Be loyal to .the flag that
versity and served 33 years. No other
man gave himself more freely to the
floats above
Miss Rutherford then spoke of the
history that are taught in the schools.
History’s that are not true, that al
low to go unrecorded, deeds of un-
recoitled heroes. She says that she
hopes the coming generation will be
patriotic enough'to have these histo
ries ruled out of the schools and only
the truth of the “War Between the
States” be taught.
Miss Rutherford told of the seal
and of the flag of Georgia. She spoke
of woman’s part in the making of
Georgia history but said she did not
believe in woman suffrage.
A great many interesting facts
were told by Miss Rutherford, one
among these being that rhe first char
tered woman’s college in the world,
Wesleyan Female College in Macon,
was started right here in Athens, In
the University chapel. That is where
the idea originated and the first pres
ident of Wesleyan was a graduate of
the University of Georgia.
Miss Rutherford told many interest
ing anecdotes and facts about the
great men of Georgia.
She closed her address by telling
Georgians “to know your own state
and to be ready to answer any ques
tion concerning it.*
Miss Rutherford is always a charm
ing and an interesting speaker, and al
ways speaks to an appreciative audi
ence but today in talking to the boys
and girls of our state she truly has
I megn love and loyalty to God, to j said many things that they will re
