Here i n group of merry gentle
men who witnessed the thrilling
junior college battle here Friday,
won by Georgia Military College over
Middle Georgia College 12 to 0. The
glroup includes boih [VlilkMgevfllc
and Atlanta citizens. Front row, to
r’ght: F. F. Starr, Colonel George
Roach, president of G. M. C.; Judge
John Cone, city recorder of Atlanta,
and Frank Wilson, Atlanta city
councilman. Back row, left to right:
Charles H. 'Whitfield, Jere Moore,
the redoubtable Skipper Burns, of
Atlanta, and W. L. Ritchie.
It would have been worth the trip
to lWlledgrville in below freezing
woather Friday juT- to have seen one
play of that game—the longest and
most sensational forward pars wc
have seen completed rince JVn Rob
ertson. of Dartmouth, rang the bell
on that famor- one against Georg'n
many years ago on Grant Field, ft
was thrown in the first few minutes
ot play by Bill Hartman, 185 pound
G. M. C. power house, to Clayton
Wilhite, an end. From the line o f
ferimenage the pass traveled .15
yard\ Wilhite caught it on the op
ponent’s 20-yard line some yards be
yond any M. G. C. player and he had
an easy jaunt across the geal Bn*
Hartman had faded bark fully 20
yards behind the pne ef rer'mmnge.
ao the pas= traveled in the air at least
55 yards. It was one of those per
fectly t ! med and perfectly executed
dreem passses that click ry> rarely.
The game frc*n start to finish was
a real battle between two splendidly
coached and highly keyed teams
Middle Georgia College was always
dangerous, and in *he first half, fol
lowing that touchdown pa*s by Hart
man, M. G. C. had the home town
boys almost constantly on the de
fensive and hacked up again?* their
goal posta. Frequent penalties on
G. M. C. kept Wallace Butts’ team : n
not water most of the first two
periods. The local boys were over-
eager and breaking through before
the ball was snapped. Holding penal-
t : es were also asseawd, and as a
result G. M. C. had to make several
heroic goal line stands to keep the
opposition frevn scoring.
One holding penalty nullified
86-yard run for a touchdown to Bill
Stephens, in which this lad with the
"bifty hips did some of the finest
maneuvering in an open field you
ever aaw It wu.-> a a beautiful run,
nccompanied by some great blocking.
It was too bad for Stephens to lose
thir one, for it would have gone down
as one of the greatest touchdown
sprints in G. M. C. history.
But Stephens was not to be denied
his touchdown. In the second half
G. M. C. made a long march, cli
maxed by a wide right end sweep
for about twenty yards for a touch
down by Stephens, in wh : ch the en
tire left '•'do of M. G. C. team and
all the secondary were obliterated
by a magnificent exhibition of block
ing. They were cut down as if a giant
scythe had swept the field.
A great player of the G. M. C.
teem is Bill Hartman, the 185-pound
fuilbaek who threw that long touch
down pas.* in the first period. Hart
man is a M llcdgevdle boy and.
understand. Is headed for Georgia
Tech. He runs with terriffic power,
end unless wc are badly mistaken he
is going to be a worthy successor
to uch great Tech fullback^
Judy Harlan, Wycoff, Father Lump-
k-'n and Jack Phillips. Bill Stephens,
the other brilliant runner of the
team, is going to Florida, we ^
informed. This is rather unusual, for
•most of the G. M. C. players enter
Georgia or Auburn. Bachelor. Grif
fith, Turbeyvillc and Shi, of the
Georgia team, were G. M. C. gradu
ates, while Chamblcss, Holmes, Du
pree and Watson, others who form
erly played on G. M. C., are at Au
burn. Tech, at present, has one G.
M. C. boy—Lindsay. Duke has one
—Cardwell South Carolina hag two
—Shou*e and Chandler.

real feat to beat Middle
Georgia College two touch-downs to
none. For G. M. C. has a fine
ord this season. As an indication of
the strength of this team, we cite
you to the fact that Stetson College
won from them by only 7 to C. And
(Jtetson, you remember, wa*ithe team
that gave Oglethorpe such a scrap
in Atlanta recently.
Jim Linder and Pete Boney of M-
G. C- arc great backs, and stopping
the versatile attack led by these boys
: hort of a touchdown was a fine
exhibition of defensive art. Gus Go
ings, center of the M. G. C. team,
was one of the finest defensive play
ers on the field.
We were greatly impressed
the work of Adams and Young, of
the G. M. C. line. Young played of
fensive center and defensive guard.
Adams played guard on offense and
hacked up the line on defense. He
ir a wheelhorse and one of the most
important factors in G. M. C.’s suc
cess. He is certainly an inspiring
figure and a great blocker as well
as a 'brilliant defensive star. And
on the brow of Curtis Young, the 1
(or is it 16?) year-old center, who
you’ll have to put a big laurel wreath
plays bareheaded He hails from
Montezuma, and they call him
“Montezuma.” Ho was a third-
stringer to start the searon, hut he
advanced with rapid strides.
Wc venture the pridictlon that
Wilhite and Walter Troutman, the
G. M. C. ends, will both blaze a
brilliant college career as flankmen.
It was Wilhite who captured that
long touchdown pass from Hartman.
And hi* fierce tackling on his wing
nnd hi* great coverage on punts
were highlights of the game. The
other end was handicapped by a bad
leg, but he was so good with on«
"ound leg that we would certainly
like to see him perform when he
was in perfect health.

During their meeting last Friday
the Girl Scouts completed the or
ganization of the troop for the com
ing year.
The Community Committeo spon
soring the Girl Scou. work is com
prised of L. R. G. Burfitt, Mr 1 .
C. G. Cox, Miss Mary B. Brooks. It
is to the interest, co operation and
help of these sponsors that Troop
I, Baldwin County, Milledgeville,
Ga., owes its success.
The Scout Troop functions pri
marily through the COURT OF
HONOR which is the governing
body of the troop, and consists of
the Captain, the Lieutenant*, and
the Patrol Leaders. It plans the
troop and inter-patrol act'vities and
carrot on the business of the troop
To the Court of Honor the Patrol
Leaders take any suggestions or
plnm. made in the patrols, and take
hack to their patrols the result of
the Court of Honor di cussions.
Thi.--. makes it possible for the Cap
tain to learn the opinion of every
member of the troop.
The girls in the Scout Troop are
.divided into groups of approximate
ly c’ght each. These groups are call
ed patrols. Each patrol chooses one
of its members to act as Patrol
Leader for a term which may vary
from six months to a year or longer.
The Patrol Leader ‘‘takes council
with the ra-t of her patrol, hears
their views reports to them deci
sions and suggestion^ of the Court
of Honor, and passes on to them
'he knowledge of Girl Scouting she
; ’ a ' gamed. Every girl thus feels
contented and satisfied that she has
her share in the life of the troop
nnd that the Patrol Leader, in her
chosen representative, always tak
ing to the Court of Honor plans and
-mrrestions from the patrol for the
troop.
The organization is a>< folows:
Captain—Miss Katherine Butts.
Lieutenants—Mi s Nell Day, Mira
Blanche Green, Miss Caroline
Hooten, Mias Rosa Youngblood.
The patrols with their patrol lead
ers are:
Bobwhite Patrol—Corinne Tuck
er; Assistant Patrol Leader, Laurette
K'tty Patrol—Mary Louise Cox.
Dogwood Patrol—Katherine Tabb.
Brown Thrasher Patrol—Barbara

Bluebird Patrol—Josephine Bone.
The Bluebird Patrol ir composed
of new scouts with the exception of
Josephine Bone, their patrol leader.
Josephine is particularly interested
in the new Scouts and under her
leadership the rest of the troop
think that they will progress rapidly.
The Brown Thrasher Patrol is an
other group of new Scout* under the
leadership of an old Scout, barbara
Ann Conn. They are expecting just
as much of that Patrol too.
