The following is a statement from the
senior class of the Unidversity of Geor
gia concerning the incidents that led o
_a break in athletie relations with Geor
“gm by Georgin Teeh.
The statement, signed by A. M
Thornton, president of the class, was
sent to the sporting editor of The Sun
day American and is here printed in
.P"Z
i ¥a the Sporting Editer Sunday Ameri
can.
Dear Sir: On behalf of the student
«body and the semior class of the Uni
versity of Georgla and in justice to the
<elemental truth of the situation, we
desire to answer the letter published in
The Constitution of Thursday morning,
purporting te have been written by the
president of the senior class of the
Georgia School of Teehnology, and
charging the senior class of the {Tniver
gity of Georgia with having aeted un
gentlemanly on Saturday, May 17, and
of having violated the ‘gemtlemen’'s
agreement’’ existing between the two in
stitutions, This article wias one of a
series of #imilar attacks that have been
published, in the papers this week, but
which have thus far been ignored by the
lUniversity of Georgia. It has always
been eur lpul'w,v to ignore such charges,
particularly when they emanate from a
spirit of chagrin ~four straight defeats
in baseball-rather than from actual
OCCUITENCes, .
However, as .Tech has insisted on
rushing into print, and has falscly ac
cused our student bedy and misrepre
sented the intent amd spirit of our
sensor class, we feel that the circum
:;:Pcec warrant this statement from
Make No Apolo'{. ‘
At the outset, let us say that we have
no apology wfiatever to make. Uur‘
purpose in this article is not to seck
ecomeiliation, but to vindicate the good
name of our obu‘tnd the student body
from the unjust charges that have been
made mimt tg:m and to bring to light
the childish absurdity of the charges
brought by the disappointed adherents
of Tech, .

The terms of the agreement were q-lmu.‘
Thus it is seen that Tech's eharges are
the feeble attempts of a poor loser to
detract from the glory of the winning
team
Far Fetched I|dea.
As to the spirit of the agreement, it
is a pity that offense should be takem
where none was intended, and where a
wide atretch of the imagination Is nee- |
essary to construe the pranks of a cir
cus parade as an insult to their insti-|
tution. Four defeats leaves one's sensi- |
bilities on the quiver. No wonder they
wore their “honor’ on their sleeves. ‘
What brought about this “gentleman’s |
luxru-nwnl""‘ Certainly it was not the
{splendid behavior and gentlemanly con- |
duct of the Tech students In Atlanta
on May % and 10 An unruly mob of |
Tech students attempted to break up the |
parade of the victors through the streets
of Atlanta—a meob maddened by the
sting of defeat. This conduct on the
part of the Tech student body that
made her forget “her obligation as
hosts and gentiemen' brought about the
necessity for an agreement. It was not
Georgia's eonduct in Athens that broke
the “‘gentleman’s agreement,” it was
the four defeats that caused the earth
quake. No agreement was broken in
letter or im spirit, and Tech knows it
better than anyone else. Some excuse
had to be offered.
“What need a man forestall his date
of grief,
“And,run to meet what he would
urost avoid.” -
Matter of Sponsor.
Tech bases the second of her com
glumm upon the ground that one of her
ormer sponsors was ‘“carieatured’’ in
the senior parade. Here are the facts
The voung lady was visiting Athens on
the Invitation of a Georgla student.
At the dance Friday night she dared
a certain senior to represent a Tech
sponsor in the parade. The boy ac
cepted her challenge and told her he
would wear her name. She repeated
'her ehallenge on Saturday, and that
afternoop the senior appeared, dressed
as a sponsor,
A 8 8 a 4 ohjection was raised by a
Tech % his wmrflh,l‘ placard
with her 2 e upon It, it was re-‘
moved. “Tec¢h has no more loyal sup
porter than this youn;hlady; 'l‘hrougg_
out the entire series she wore the Gold:
and White. As soon as the senior ap
peared in this costume, she at once told
both Tech and Gleorgia boys that she
had given her permission, She stated
that the fault was partly hers and asked
that the matter be forgotten.
The costume of the sponsor was no
more a ‘‘caricature” and an insult to
Tech than an Uncle Sam costume would
be a “caricature’’ and an insult to the
people of the United States.
It seems to us that the man who In
the first {:lncw gave wide publicity to
a thing that brings undesirable noto
riety to a loyal Tech supporter, wlthout‘
investigating a)l the facts and consult
ing her wll’ten in the matter, is mak
ing more trouble than the alleged in
discreet action of either of the par
ties. The Tech authorities have seen
fit to make this ome of their reasons
for severing athletic relations. The
,voun" lady had courage enough to ac
cept her share of the blame, if any is
due anyone, and asked that no of
fense be taken. What a pity Tech
could not be manly enoumh to take their
four straight gofntu in the same coura
geous manne! without attempun{ to
hide behind the skirts of one of their
loyal sponsors in their efforts to find
gsome pretense on which to eall off fu
ture games and endeavor to put Geor
gla In the wrong.
As to the Peace Treaty.
Keen disappointment hag carried our
friends at Tech to strange longths when
they say that “‘Georgla {orfo( her ob
lgation as hosts and gentlemen'' In
thelr search for something to complain
about, they ecast slurs npon our hospi
tality and their treatment in Athens,
Suppose we compare the conduct of
Tech in Atlanta, as hosts, with that of
Georgia in the Classic City.
In the last inning of the first game in
Atlanta, with the score two to one
against them, Tech 1;)! a man on third,
the Tech boys were firing off a gattling
gun in the form of a truck cutout, the
and wasg moved out of the fimndstand
and blared in the face of the pltcher,
| the rooters left their stands and closed
in on the field, pandemonium reigned
supreme, and then, to help matters, the
Tech runner ran over the Georgia first
pasentan in an attempt to make him
drop the ball. Georgia has been guilty

————————————————————————————————
of no such breach of sportsmanship In
this or any other series.
On Saturday, May 9, although only
three men had reached first base dur
ing the entire game, the Tech rooters
paraded, after the athletic directors had
agreed that no one should parade, on
Grant Field. But not content with
parading on Grant Field, they led their
parade into the street and headed It
into the victorious. Georgia procession
which was then forming. This was an
other breach of sportsmanship after
ward admitted by Tech. But Georgia
did not whimper.
Forbearance Claimed.
If Georgia were equally as anxious as
Tech to construe every occurrence as
an insult, then Tech furnished us many
opportuniites in Atlanta. In truth, we
would have severed relations years ago.
But, win or lese, Georgia has never
raised a howl to heaven that she was
mistreated or her honor “‘impugned.’’
In the face of this Atlanta oceur
rence, the Georgia boys and the Athens
people made every conceivable effort to
entertain the Teeh supporters in royal
style. The town was turned over to
them. Kvery Athens home was open
to our \'isltog. At a bi.'tntornng
dance given iday night, many Tec
representatives were invited and were
welcome. We ‘‘divided our last mint
iu)ep" with our adversaries. The col
ege dining hall was open without
charge to the Tech boys and was large
ly patronized, - The Georgia team was
not guilty of the slightest breach of
sportsmanship. What more could
we do? ;
Tech's third charge is that her na
triotism has been ‘“‘impugned.” The
now famous tank representing the Ar
gonne HForest was used to typify the
proud record of Georgia's athletes in
the world war, Tech has misconstrued
the meaning of the tank in the parade.
Georgia is justly proud of the magnifi
cent record of her athletes. Three of
our 1916 football team lie buried in
France, killed in action. When thé 1917
football season began, our entire var
sity, the three coaches, and the three
ynanagers were in the service. We let
‘hese heroes themselves, wearing the
gold and silver stripes, and above Some
of whose bodies have been raised the
wooden crosses, tell in their silent man
ner the true patriotism of the Georgila
team,
The “Tank" Question.
Day by day we have been taunted
by Tech students and supporters be
cause we did not play football in 1017
They said that we showed the “yellow
streak'’ by not having our team to play
them. While the world war raged and
the “Golden Tornado” ran wild over its
opponents in Atlanta, Georgia was held
up to ridicule because its athletic au
thorities refused to permit football to
be pla{ed.
We believed, as that true sportsman,
Grantland Rice, did about the matter:
“This year, 1917, is hardly the year for
boastful acclaim upon the record of a
team made up of veteran plavers.' |
We have our faults, we are not per
fect, we are only ‘‘poor, weak mortals,
after all,”” but no Georgia student body
or Georiia team has ever shown any
thing other than loyalty for their n)mai
mater and for their country. Our ) ¥
alty and patriotism can be suastained
on its record and does not need to be
bolstered up by newspaper publicity
or any “Below the Belt” editorials.
“The caluminous aspersions to Tech's
patriotism’ reduces itself to a banner
carried and devised by a student who
has a brother in the Georgia School of
Technolog 1t is only another Ilittle
“family row’ injected itno our annual
senior parade—a burlesque of things at
home and abroad. Picture to your
selves this wonderful and marvelous
parade of a happy senior class—the an-‘
‘nual parade—a tank and a sponsor. and

Tech's weonderful righteous indignation
expressed in these words: ‘‘What bet
ter evidence of the gentlemanly control
and sincerity of purpose of the Tech
boys to live up to their pledge than
that they restrained their indignation
under such trying insults?”
Rhyme Reproduced.
If the banner was such a fearful in
sult to their patriotism, or if it only
“impugned’’ their patriotism, what do
vou think of this “exquisite” poem that
they have published and in which lhe?’
say that our patriotism is ‘‘stained?”
We hesitate to reproduce such a gem of
poetic excellence, but as it has been
selected by the Tech students to be
preserved forever and a day in their
college annual, we presume we are
justifiable in lottinf the public under
stand how “boys will be boys.”
WILL GEORGIA PLAY
FOOTBALL AGAIN?
Now that the world's war is over |
And our country needs no volun
teers,
What camouflage will Georgia use?
How can they hide their fears?
They pretend patriotism.
[t almost gives me pain
To hear them speak of our poor
record,
‘ When theirs was really stained.
Do you realize, gentle reader,
That in this world strife
The wrcentago of old Tech men
Who risked their all—their life?
~ We did not reach the pinnacle.
| We did not enlist to a man.
- But our percentage of volunteers
| Exceeded the Georgia clan.
|
~ Now this masterpiece that I am com
; ponln¥
| Is not of war or guns,
But the fact that we had the spirit.
- llf slacking—they were the ones.
But let us all forget the past,
And may they turn out an eleven
Thnt“c‘agn hold the Tech Tornado of
At least to one hundred and seven.
Isn't this little poem ‘“cute?” Isn't
it a splendid tribute to Georgia's pa
triotism? We did say on that ljttle
‘banner.. “Georgia in France, 1917," and
“Tech in Atlanta, 1917."" But we did
not write a masterpiece to be preserved
through the coming yvears to perpetuate
an "lmgugned patriotism.”” Our little
banner been consigned to the dust
long ago and forgotten except by the
disappointed followers of Tech and per
haps b{ some of the student body.
Should not the students of this in
stitution rave and rant because Te¢h
says in immortal verse that our war
record is stained? We shall not go
into hyvaterics because our adversary is
“so fickle of purpose and so malicious

of intent,” for we are certain that Tech
really means to say:
“We love in others what we lack,our
selves,
And would be everything but what
we are not.,”
“Georgia went so far as to forget
their training as gentlemen.”” Strong
words indeed for the president of the
sensor class to utter—a man who hails
from the grand old State of Kentucky.
A stranger in our midst, who has been
‘ honored b{ students from the best State
| in the Union, should become acquainted
‘wlth the personnel of the student body
of the University of Georgia. The peo
'ple of this State will justly resent the
statement that the boys in this institu
‘tion are not gentlemen or men who
could for a moment foriet their train
ing. This direct reflection wupon the
mothers dnd fathers of these boys can
never be explained.
How They Feel.
How do the seniors feel about the
severance of relations?
In 1916 the Georgia football team
loses. In 1916 the Georgia football team
was defeated in Athens and Tech was
lou‘;l in her praises of Georgia hospi
tality. No fair-minded man can doéubt
that the alleged insults of the present
series would never have been heard of
had Tech won.
“Defeat’’ spells Tech's grievance
against Georgia.” Their rumpus is
designed to distract attention from that
defeat. For several ?'ezlr:. Georgia’s
basketball team has defeated Tech, and
basketball was abolished at Tech. Now
Georgia wins four straight in baseball,
and again the sport is eliminated. Our
only regret is that Tech did not allow
us another chance to defeat their foot
ball team so they could also abolish
football and confine themselves to ten
nis, golf and checkers.
In conclusion, let us add that the sev
erance of athletic relations i& cntirely
satisfactory to every Georgia man. The
Georgia students are not peeved and
not even irritated over the ‘“‘tempest in
a teapot.” We would have remained
silent, but were afraid that our silence
miiht be misunderstood. We have ex
plained the matter in detail so that you
and that part of the public who are in
terested in such afi.irs might Kknow
what the matter is about.
“It s no vicious blot, murder, or
fouiness,
No unchaste action, or dishonored
step
That hath deprived me of your grace
* amd favor.
