ATTACK ON. COLLEGE.
GAMES IS DEFEATED
House Kills Amendment of Mr..
Adams of Hall to Outlaw Inter
collegiate Football and Baseball
in State Schools.

An attack on intercollegiate football
was made in the house of representatives
Wednesday morning by Mr.. Adams OF
Hall. He sought, but with only a frac-
ton of success, to cut off all state appro-
priations from any state institution which
should let its students take part in inter-
collegiate games. He also urged that
no state school be aIloweu to employ a
baseball or football coach or in any way
contribute to the expenses of athletic
teams.
The solons holly contested this PROPOSE
ton and for awhile the debate looked
pretty much like a football game itself.
Finally they voted down that portion of
the measure which sought to outlaw In
tercollegiate sports. but passed the clause
forbidding the use of state funds for
athletics Mr.. Adams introduced the sub
ject as an amendment to the general APP
preparations act, his amendment reading
as follows:
Provided, that no part of the money
appropriated for the maintenance and
support of any of the colleges and
schools of this state,s other than the
amounts due such institutions under ex-
listing laws nor any amount paid to such
institutions as tuition or as matricnlaaion
luNNNNA~N~--~~'
be applied or used directly or indirectly
for the payment of any salary of any
football coach or baseball coach or player
at any of the educational institutions OF
this state, nor shall any amount so con-
tributed by the state or paid as tuition or
matriculation fees by the students attend
ing the above mentioned institutions be
applied for the maintenance or support or
expenses of any intercollegiate football
or baseball game; and provided further
that neither of the institutions receiving
financial aid from the state under sec
ton five of this act~shall allow the stu
dents in attendance to participate in any
intercollegiate football or baseball game
during the regular school term, and any
violation of this provision shall work a
forfeiture of all appropriations by the
state to any institution Of learning al
lowing students to so participate In SAID
intercollegiate games"
In explaining his proposed amendment,
Mr. Adams said. he was against such
sports during the collegiate terms. Let
the boys play during vacations If they
wanted to, he said, but, as for sports
during the session, he was "agin 1t.
The amendment was opposed by Messrs.
Barrett of Stephens, Hardman of Jeffer-
son, Hall of Bibb and Moss of Cobb.
They opposed the amendment on its own
account, and also thought it improper to
incorporate such legislation In an ap-
preparation bill.
On motion OF Mr. Edwards of Walton,
debate was cut off, and an amendment to
the amendment. offered by Mr.. Wright Of
Floyd, permitting state institutions to
engage in intercollegiate athletics without
interfering with that portion of the
Adams amendment to keep the state
money from being used for such pur-
poses This was adopted.
Then the Adams amendment was killed
and sports permitted to go on as usual.

TRIBUTE IS PAID a7'e 80
r PORTER OF HOUSE

Howard Fair, the faithful old negro who
has been head porter of Georgia's house
of representatives for more than 20 years,
who marched at the head of the pro-
cession when the state officials left the
old state house to take up their abode in
the new capitol, had the satisfaction OF
seeing that his humble but efficient -serv-
ices had been appreciated, when Messrs,
Jones and Hall arose, Tuesday morning.
to champion his csIIse, 20 pronounce his
eulogy, and defeat the attempt Of Mr..
Middlebrooks to have his salary cut
down to 81 per day.
The question arose when it was found
that Chairman Jones and his appropria-
tions committee had recommended that
the porter be paid 81 per diem, an in
crease of 81 on what he was receiving.
Mr.. Middlebrooks offered an amend
ment to cut the sum to 81, declaring that
1t was manifestly wrong to pay negro
81 day for manual labor" when the
legislators themselves. were only getting
that much. ~ -.-
Mr. Jones defended the proposed in
crease on the ground that the job was
not manual labor but required not only
a man who knew how to read and write
but one of quick wit and superior intelli-
gence, one. who could attend to the i'm
portant committee announcements ON the
blackboard, who could go into the ante
room and find with unerring accuracy any
bill for which the clerk happened to send
him.
Mr.. Hall said the porter's salary had
been raised in 1904 for faithful services
fl ON 50 to 49, He said he was opposed
to all increases at this time and could
not conscientiously ask that the negro be
given 81 even though he deserved 1t, but
that he was equally opposed to reducing
the wages of the loyal old negro.
Howard Fair was deeply grateful.
