course. that we have no performers of
the Joe Cans stamp nowadays, but
the public is satisfied as long as 1t

BOB MWEI0RTER ENDS CAREER in GLORY


ON the gridiron he has a lodging,
" squirming, twisting and elusive
movement that opposing players have
never been able TO solve. Possessing
physique that is superb, he is of
an ideal weight for a halfback, and
much of his success may be at
tributed not only to his condition
physically during the playing seasons
Of football, but at all times of the
year. There is never a time when
McWhorter is not in shape, for re
is alienated by habit from all traits
Of character that cut short the ca
reers of so many athletes.
1t Is remarkable that during his
entire four years at Georgia a su J.
stitute was never sent in to take his
place, and time was never called on
his account, despite the fact that
every player who has played against
him was coached to stop him. There
were times when the great Morrison
was out of the game on account of
injuries, or that Hardage was nurs-

Aside from his athletic career,
which will come to a close at the end
of next springs baseball season, Bob
is one Of the best students ever reg
istered at Georgia, and his classroom
work has been phenomenal. The rec
ords of the university show that he
has never been delinquent in a single
study since entering college, and the
records Of the professors show that
he has never answered unprepared
nor had an unexcused absence, yet he
Is carrying a regular A. b. course,
has played in every football and
baseball game and is a member Of
every club in college.

was a member of the Freshman Club,
Junior Cabinet, Senior Round Table,
Gridiron Club, TALK Club, sopho-
more declaimer, junior orator and
captain of both freshman and sopho-
more pushball teams.
He has blazed a way down the
Southern gridiron armament that will
not be equaled for seasons to coma,
and his career will for a long time
be to Dixie as EckersolPs is to the
West or Pendleton's and other great
players are to the East. For four
years he was the unanimous choice
Of every expert for All Southern, and
his exit from the football arena on
Ponce DeLeon Yesterday was a sad
one for thousands of admirers the
country over, for it meant that the
great Bob McWhorter. the Georgia
star whose name has been on the lips
of every rural inhabitant and VII

last tackler and scored his last college
game touchdown.

OF the first Of these affairs-the
Clabby Logan bout-there doubtless
will be a question as to whether the
men are properly qualified to box for
the 1853 pound title. No matter what
arguments may be advanced, how
ever, it will be difficult to show that
any other pair of middleweights have
a better right. They have already
signed to fight on Turkey Day.
EDDIE McGOORTY claimed the

a 8 to what will hinge upon the
Richie Murphy match there Is no
chance of argument. Richie Is the
title holder by virtue OF his victory
over AID Wolgast, and while he had
the somewhat unique distinction OF
gaining a championship through a
blow that landed on himself instead
OF on the other fellow, he has every
right to sign himself champion and
assume champions prerogatives.
In business matters Richie can be
depended upon to protect his own in
terests. In his matchmaking he has
been accused of playing a safe game
Billy Nelson with whom he quarreled
said with suspicion OF spleen: The
three men on Ritchie's list are Joe
Rivers, Freddie Welsh and Leach
Cross. He will give no one match
until he gets through with them"
The Cross and Rivers affairs took
in accordance with Nolan's forecast
and the Welsh bout fzzled out at
