COACH BATCHELOR HOLDS
INITIAL GRID PRACTICE
Realizing Tough Schedule Calls Two
Drills Dally In Order To Round
Men Into Shape
Thirty serious-faced cadets Tues
day morning answered the initial
grid practice call of Coach Graham
Batchelor, former University of
Gerrgia star and now head football
mentor at the Georgia Military Col
lege.
Calisthenics, passing, and signal
drill constituted the first workout.
Beginning Thursday, Coach Batche
lor has ordered two drills daily, one
in the morning and the other late
in the afternoon. Realizing that he
faces a tough schedule this fall
Coach Batchelor stated that he
wanted to round his men into shape
as soon as possible. m
“I'm not going to make any pre
dictions just new.” commented the
big coach. *"I will say, however, that
I am immensely pleased with the
determined spirit shown at practice
this morning. After all. you knew,
it's the old spirit that wins games,
not always the best looking ma-
Batchelor is fully aware that he
faces a difficult schedule this sea
son. “It's a tough one. Plenty tough.
Not a single setup. We’ll have.to
fight hard every minute of every
game to come through with it.”
While several shifts will be made
before the opening game with Brew-
tor. Parker Junior college in Mil-
lrdgcvillc Sept. 27. Coach Batchelor
stated that he was trying the fol
lowing men for the present at the
positions named: Fred Mieiien.
Charlie Williams. Raymond Collins,
and Wilburn Howard, guards: Jack
Troutman. Robert Cantrell, Walter
Phillips. Charles Lavin. Buster Eth

Members of last year’s varsity who
are likely to retain their positions
this season include Troutman. Can

SUNDAY MOVIES
STARTSEPT. 8
Red Cross to H*ve Proceeds from
Caucus Theatre Each Stm-
diy.
In desperation the local Commun
ity Chest is turning to Sunday
Movies to realize sufficient funds to
carry on its work in the best inter
cut cf the poor and needy of Mil-
ledgeville and Baldwin county. Un
fortunately sufficient funds are not
at hand to meet a most pressing
need. Hungry mouths are unfed;
aged poor are left to suffer need;
sick, old and young, without re
sources, are left unattended, all be
cause the Community at large does
not seem to sense its responsibility
in their regard. There arc those in
the community, who have been gen
erous in the support of this noble
work; there are others, lacking an
understanding of the need that exist,
take an indifferent and sometimes
a hostile attitude toward this truly
Christ-like work. But this is no
time for debate or for explanation.
The need is too urgent. Something
must be done. Time does not permit
of a canvass of the city and if it
did the coming year, with its needs,
is ahead and nothing must be done
to interfere with the Annual Can
vass that is made each year by thp
Community Chest in conjuncticn
with the Annual Red Cross Roll
Call. Suffering on the part of our
poor and unfortunate is too evident
to permit of a delay.
Realizing that the need is impera
tive the officials in charge of the
Community Chest have reluctantly
turned to the only means at hand
that alters a sufficient revenue to
carry on a work that a Christian
Community cannot neglect. The
Manager of the local theatre. Mr.
F. D. Adams, has generously offer
ed to run a nicture at his theatre,
the Campus, cn Sundays for the
benefit of the poor a*id the needy of
the Community. No revenue will ac
crue to the theatre, all going to the
Community Chest to meet relief
needs. Necessity forces an acceptance
of Mr. Adam’s kind offer. The first
cf these pictures will be run on Sep
tember 8th. There will be three
showings, none cf which will con
flict with the hours nl Church Ser-
