Battling Barnett Also Ready to
Put on Gloves Again After
Months of ldleness.
By GUY BUTLER.
In lining up Freddie Boords, the
classy youngster of Walk Miller's
| stable, and Kid Young, the old local
Emvorite. for his ten-round semi
| windup, Promoter McDonald has add
ed an attraction to his Mareh b card
that is sure to bring in several hun
‘dred additional fans.
. The 'Frnmoter made this announce
ment Thursday. No better semi
windup bout could possibly have been
'arranged, for since Boorde made his
~advent into the ring {t has been the
~desire of the Atlanta fansg that Young
be matched with him. There is little,
if any, difference in their weights,
‘and besides, both are clever and fair
¥ hard punchers, and in addition
possess quite a lot of knowledge of
the sport. It is in reality a bout
worthy to put on a® a main event,
but McDonald has already booked
Mike O'Dowd, the middleewight
‘chfimpion of the world, and BStock
yards Tornmy Murphy as the prinvi
pals.
BARNETT IS BACK.
| Battling Barnett, anotMer populaf
lyoung battler of Walk Miller's sta
ble, will make his reappearance ift
‘the ring after several months’' lay
off. Barnett will be pitted against
gome good local boy in one of the
prelims.
The gent named Wilson, who wres
tled at the last show, will perform
again in a one-fall contest against
gome man to be selected later.
That will give the fans something

When a wrestling champ is beaten
Does he wear a frown of woe?

There is nothing sad or tearful

~ As a morn in Mayy ! .

In his calm, unworried grin, |
For he knows that on the merrow

To see his fellows flop. i

Until it almost burst his hide. :

Upon the other gents. |

Varsity Team is Formed, With
o £ 5 §. ¢ Ly
First Engagement Against Au
burn Scheduled March 13.
Under the supervigion of the Re
serve Officers’ Training Corps, Geor
gia Tech is planning to put out her
first varsity rifle team this spring.
Rifle clubg were formed in 1917 and
1918, but this I 8 Tech’s initial ven
re into this fisld of sport withea
WA répresentative of the in
stitution,
The idea of Tech having a varsity
rifle téea mhas been mentioned and
suggested many times but has never
been carried into completion. Since
Captaln A. C. Pendleton assumed
control of Tecli's military work last
fall a number of excellent innova
tions have been made and the new
commandant has proved himself
lequal to all occasions. He was
greatly in saver of Tech entering in-
L ‘& shooting game, but knew that
(0 r team would be worse than
none at all. Hence he proceeded to
let the faenlt{ know just what he
wanted and it wasn't long before
he got it
It it announced that those making
the rifle team will be awarded a
blue varsity “T" with crossed rifles
on it, and this announcement has in
creased the interest in the work
manifold. The outdoor range has
been fitted up and target praectice
‘held every day. 9ny that desire are
lowed to try out, but soon the squad
will be former of the thirty men
:cgoue cards have averaged highest
res during the preliminary try
outs,
There are some very clever marks
men out, & number of whom had ex
cellent records as “Expert Riflemen”
while in the service. Indications at
presefit are that the team is going
to have a bunch of crack shooters on
it that can #tick right around the
century mark an any range.
The first rifle meet will be a dual
meet with Auburn on March 13, each
team firing on its home grounds. As
soon as a man completes his card his
score will be telegraphed to the other
cg?le:o and a few minutes after the
firing is over the winner can be an
nounced. '{\heu is another meet m—
rmngdd with Miss'ssippi A. and .
and several in view with the big R.
