With only two minutes to ; play, the Trion boys had a 6-point; , lead, which looked pretty safe, but ' the Indians went on a rampage abou. j ‘ that time. Tallent shot a crip and j McCollum tied the score with anoth er crip shot. With only 45 seconds to ! play, Tallent shot a breath-taking ; goal and the crowd almost went into hysterics.

ATLANTA. Leading statesmen, Jurists ana educators of Georgia have rad. led tent..a the crusade to stamp ..... vhe dread menace of infantile paralysis by wholeheartedly endorsing the state-wide celeb: ation of the president's birthday on Jan. 30. This has become evident in Letters being received by Gov. Rivers, who is chairman of the state committee in mis year's chive. Ci - these venting the governor was Charles S. Reid, newly appointed chief justice of the supreme court, who said: “There is no more worthwhile movement in which we can engage ourselves than the cause of helping little children. It is a movement that should touch the hearts of every per son in Georgia, and I am sure that, again this year, the great state of Georgia will lead the nation in its contributions against infantile paral ysis.” He complimented the governor on being selected to lead this drive that is the inspiration for parties, dances and varied types of entertainments to be held in every county on Jan. 30. United States Senator Richard B. Russell wrote his regret at not being able to more actively take part in the plans that are going forward in the state. “We in Georgia,” he wrote, “have a peculiar interest in this connec tion, for it was after receiving treat ment at Warm Springs that the president envisioned this great drive to eliminate the menace of poliomye litis. “I am sure that every citizen of Georgia will want to have a part in the undertaking, for Warm Springs is certainly the capital of the forces engaged in this campaign, and you can count on my wholehearted co operation in every way within my power.” The state board of education, head ed by Dr. M. D. Collins, who is also chairman of the school section of the state committee, went on record in a formal resolution endorsing the drive. The resolution, in part, said: “The state board of eduation unan imously concurs in this constructive endeavor, commends this humanitar ian effort and wishes for its pre-emi nent success, especially since 50 per cent, of the funds raised in Georgia will remain in this state ...” “We offer eveiy encouragement to the success of this wonderfully fine movement which is going forward in the interest of Georgia school chil dren and Georgia people.” Women Enlisting In Paralysis Campaign ATLANTA.—Women of Georgia, in all walks of life, and representing many varied organizations, have en listed in the campaign against in fantile paralysis, since, as mothers, it is first of all their fight. Headquarters in Atlanta are be sieged with letters volunteering as sistance in the drive, which comes to a close with parties, dances, calebi-a tions of all kinds on Jan. 30, the president’s birthday. The county chairmen are particu larly grateful for the assistance of all women workers, since theirs is the kind of work, selling tickets to parities and entertainments, souci ing contributions, that is vitally needed in the counties.
