A REVIEW OF WINDER HIGH ATHLETICS
RECORD DURING PAST FOOTBALL SEASON
Made Good Reeord in Basket Ball.
Winning Six Out of Six, With
12 to 14 More Games to Play
For the benefit of the citizens of
Winder who have not closely, followed
the development of athletics in our
school and who have not noticed the
wonderful individual development of
s>ur young boys and girls, we are going
to give you a brief summary of our
past successful foot-ball season and
our, so far, very successful season in
basket ball.
To begin with, on or about Septem
ber 9th the team journeyed GO miles
to Elberton for Winder High’s first
game of foot-ball, and also for the first
game that any meufber of the team, ex
cept one, had ever played. Too bad
that so many of you patrons do not
remember the result of the game, but,
anyway, Winder won 14 to 7.
We continued the season, playing
here and there with the strongest teams
in the state until at the end of the last
game we had won seven of the nine
games played and lost those two on ac
count of slight injuries. Did you see
that Higr School machine, arrayed in
their new ’’red and black” uniforms in
action? If not, then you certainly did
miss a treat. Do you know that we
purchased and almost paid for $.’550
worth of foot-ball material through
the efforts and earnestness of your
boys?
Now, basket ball, and then track and
baseball, of which three, basket ball
bears mention at present. We have
played six games and have won six.
Have 12 or 14 more to play. Surely
all of you saw the game Monday night,
last, when we trounced the strong Mon
roe A. & M. team to tire tune of 35 to
15.„I)idn’t our boys uncork an exhi
bition of basket ball, which not only
thrilled the large audience, but also
muchly startled our strong opponents?
Now, how does our athletics help us?
First, there is no other part of our
work which will sene more to raise
our school to the very highest re/og
nized standard among other schools
than athletics.—Second, of just much
or more importance is the individual
development gained
The good, clean sports that we have
nbt only develops the boy physically
m' also mentally, morally and spirit
ually--Stop and read below the rules
and regulations that each member of
the foot-ball team pledged himself to
you will see the good that comes to the
boy that takes part in these sports.
We, the undersigngp, as members of
the Winder High School foot-ball team,
fully realizing the importance and nec
essity of strict physical training, which
in order to do, requires the sacrificing
of certain habitual pleasures (if we
have any) do hereby pledge ourselves
to uphold and obey the following rules
and regulations, and as far as possible
to enforce same by reporting any vio
lations that we might observe to the
proper authority or authorities.
1. To diligently apply myself in
maintaining my attendance in school
atid my class work up to or above that
which is required.
2. To report promptly for practice
daily except when excused for a good
reason.
To refrain from the use of pro
fane language, or any suggestions or
actions unbecoming a clean player on
our team.
4. To refrain from the use of to
bacco in any form of smoking.
5. To refrain from the use of alco
holic drink in any form.
6. To retire to bed at nights as far
as possible not later than eleven o’clock.
7. To refrain from loitering at
nights on the streets or in the drug
stores or any public gathering place.
S. At all times to keep myself phy
sically strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight.
Now, experience is a great teacher,
and we have experienced through your
support and our boys’ efforts, very suc
cessful athletics, so far. ami we hope
to carry on the good work, and through
your support have winning teams in
basebull and track.

wards of $l5O each were offered by

of the men or man implicated in the
law violations which have tended to
bring a cloud over Oconee county’s
good name.

thought that the rewards will be award

brings indictments against the persons
who are said to be guilty.
No names were given out by (X-onee

stood that several are in the party

IN ATLANTA TODAY

day in connection with some work with
tlie Administration committee of the
Georgia Baptist convention of which
he is a member. This committee meets
monthly and does a great deal of de
tail work relative to the denominations

Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, January 19, 1922.
CASH BAGGETT
LIGHTS UP CLOCK
That Cash Baggett is strictly on his
joli as official clock Winder ami keeper
is evidenced by the fact that he lias
arranged to light up the clock at night
so that the wayfaring pedestrian who
meanders around over the city at night
can keep up with the passing of time.
No doubt Cash has done this as a favor
to those men who get home late and
are bawled out by their wives. In or
der to keep these poor down-trodden
men, whose unreasonable wives insist
that they not stay out until one or two
o’clock in the morning, from having to
dodge rolling pins when they come in,
pur clever clock winder lias put a
liglitl in the clock so that they can tell
the time of the night and get in home
before the storm arises. We have
known all along that Cash had a sym
pathetic feeling for the unfortunate
and this latest act of iiis will increase
his standing with tlie down-trodden
ones of our city.
G.M. RAILWAY WILL
NOT BE SCRAPPED
Scrapping of the Gainesville-Midland
railroad is not iij, the plans of the
owners of the line, W. B. Veazey, re
ceiver for the road, told Athens busi
ness men Thursday who met to devise
some plan of saving the road for this
section, notably that of inducing the
Georgia Railway and Power Compa
ny to take over the road and operate
it as an electric line.
Mr. Veazey emphatically denied that
a petition had been filed with the rail
road commission for permission to dis
mantle the line or any part of it, com
pletely surprising the business men
present who had been informed, as lmd
the entire section through which the
road traverses, that it was on its last
leg and likely to quit doing business at
uny moment.
Get Double Service.
Mr. Veazey stated that if the busi
ness men in Athens will aid the road
In securing better freight patronage
the double-daily passenger service will
he reinstated. He did not make a
definite promise to reinstate the pas
senger service maintained until recent
ly, but said that if the revenue of the
road increased sufficiently to justify it
the service would be resumed.
The receiver's statement was made
in response to a request that he ex
plain the situation in which the rail
road finds itself. He declared he
thought the idea to electrify the road
was admirable but that it would take
patronage to make it successful and if
the Gainesville Midland is given more
patronage it can give better passenger
service, thus doing away with the nec
essity for changing the line from a
steam railroad to an electric.
Name Steering Committee.
In the meanwhile a steering com
mittee, appointed from committees rep
resenting the Merchants protective as
sociation, Chamber of Commerce, Ki
wanis, Rotary and Advertising clubs
is going ahead with its investigation of
the proposal to get the Georgia Rail
way and Power Cos. to electrify the
Yoad and operate it on into North Car
olina and eventually into Tennessee.
In discussing the plan in the meet
ing of the general committee all of the
members favored it. Mike Costa said
that if an electric line could be built
into the mountains it would get a tre
mendous passenger traffic during the
summer months especially. An elec
tric line would be In better position to
handle express shipments and packa
ge shipments than a steam line, Mr.
Costa said.
Did Not Oppose.
While Mr. Veazey did not oppose the
scheme to electrify the Gainesville-
Midland he tried to impress the com
mittee that if passenger service is
what they are wanting they can get
that by helping the road get more
freight business saying that but two
per cent of the 4,000 or more freight
cars handled into and out of Athens
annually is secured by the Gainesville
midland.
He denied that a petition had been
filed with the railroad commission for
permission to scrap the road. Mr.
Veazey was accompanied to Athens by
B. 11. Cheek, traffic manager for the
Gainesville-Midland.
The meeting Thursday was the out
growth of repeated declarations that
the road was in danger or suspending
.operation at any time.
