ATHLETICS AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

Athens, Ca, Dec. 7.-Athletics at the
University of Georgia were never in a
purer or better state than at present
There is an enthusiasm among the
students never before apparent.
The football season wound up with
a deficit of $500, the receipts from the
different games falling that far short
of expenses. That sum in addition to
500 of old debts hung over the asso-
citation until yesterday morning, when
the college boys held a mass meeting
at which the necessary sum was SUBJ
scribed to lift the debt.
DR.. c. H. Herty, formerly a men,
Der of the University faculty, and also
at that time director of athletics, was
present and made a speech in which
he declared that the wedding out of
professionalism from the athletics of
the University had brought about the
splendid condition of affairs now ex-
listing in athletic circles.
The election of Harold Ketron as
captain of next years football team
has caused the athletic students much
pleasure. Ketron is very popular and
is regarded as just the man for the
place. The manager of the football
team will be chosen next Tuesday by
the Athletic Council.

Hart at one time signihed his willing

M'BRIDE SAYS RACES
WERE GOOD.

Returns From Charleston and Ex-
plains About Jacksonville Meet.
T.. o. Mcbride returned yesterday
from Charleston, where he has been at
tending the race meet. Mr.. Mcbride
SAYS that the races were unusually
good but that the attendance was
small owing to the inclemency of the
weather. In one of the running races
the. three leading horses finished so
closely togeather that the three of them
could have been covered with a
blanket.
Nearly all of the horses that raced
there, he said. will arrive here to-day
and tomorrow to go into winter
quarters. These animals, with those al
about so fine animals that will be there
for the next several weeks.
Mr.. Mcbride, in explaining the con-
trovery that has arisen over a state
ment he was credited with having made
relative to the harness races recent
~ run at the Jacksonville meet, said
that he did not say that the races were
fixed" but were a farce and not a
drawing card.
To substantciate this fact Mcbride
says that all of the races, except one,
were finished in three straight heats
and that the only days when the at
tendance was large was when a full
running card was put on and that more
money was placed on one running race
than was bet on all of the harness
races combined.
In stating this he says that he does
not intend any reflection on the horse
owners or drivers. but that the best
horse. won in each race. In regard to
the races being thrown he saws that
the judges of the meet accused a prom
inent horseman of throwing a heat.
but that he stood for him and contend
ed that the horse had been heated fairly
and that the driving had not been
crooked.
