State Convention by Two Teams.
A number of the Savannah members
of the Y. M. c. A. are making active
preparations to visit the state conven-
ton of the organization, to be held in
Augusta, Feb. 1923. 1t is expected that
some twenty-five delegates will attend
from Savannah.
The convention will be of more than
| usual interest to this city, because of
the fact that gymnastic team of five
men is to enter a contest with similar
teams from other large cities of the
state, and Savannah basketball team
will play a match game with a similar
team representing Atlanta.
The members of the gymnastic team
will be selected Friday night. at which
time an entertainment will be given in
the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, to con-
sist Of basketball game, of an ath-
/ letic contest in which all candidates
for the team will go through the move
ments that are to be given during the
contest among the state teams. and
close with a game of football, which
will be decided novelty. The players
will be gowned in mother hubbards.
Secretary H. NJ. Johnson of the Y.
M. G.. A, says that the railroads have
offered rate of $751; Is for the round
trip to Augusta, and all delegates who
attend the convention will be under
no additional expense, as they are to
be entertained by the Augusta people.
The hospitality of that city Is proven
bal, and those who attend the conven-
ton are assured of an enjoyable visit.
Though the official programme Of the
convention has not been announced. 1t
Is known that 1t will be attended by
some Of the best known Y. M. G. A.
workers in the country. and their adj
dresses will be upon topics of general
! interest. The convention will be begun
on the night of the goth, with a ban
Quet and will be continued the follow
ing day with addresses by the many
prominent attendants, to be delivered
/ in the pulpits of the various churches.
The athletic contests will take place
| on the night of the 23rd Savannah
will doubtless be well represented in
| this field. The gymnasium class is
larger than probably ever before in the
history OF the association, and it's
members, under the careful and sci
entific instruction of Mr.. J. NJ. Gra-
ham, physical director, have all at
tanned a high degree of proficiency in
athletics. At the entertainment at
! which the teams will be selected an
| admission fee of is cents will be
charged, with an additional charge of
10 cents for reserved seats, the fund
thus raised to be applied to defraying
the expenses of the team.
