Athletic Interest Shown by Number of Rae

Maybe it's some lively essence In
the air of Athens. or maybe it's the
inspiration that comes from the pres
ence near by of those energetic, ath
letic University of Georgia boys. Any
how, some spirit has come over the
campus Of the Lucy Cobb College in
Athens, one OF Georgia's most re-

girls, that is giving 1t strenuous
tone.
And everybody goes in for athletics
Nowadays that school IS just opening

unpacked is the tennis racket, and the
girls are turning to the courts to work
off the energy that bubbles up, and
that Is altogether too potent to be

Tennis play began with the first of
the school term, and before the sun
had set on the opening day, the courts
were automatically put in shape, beat
down to a hard smoothness and shorn
of all the summers growth of grass
and clay pebbles by the active feet of
the tennis players.
And ever since then the courts have
been filed, with an impatient bunch

Woman Fleeing for Refuge.

The story of daring fight across
the Rocky Mountains to escape Mex
lean revolutionists was told yester-
day to The Sunday American by Mrs
Tom Watson, of No. North Park
avenue, Lagrange. The story is one
of thrilling Details of adventures as
perilous, of hardships as trying as

After the city of Durango was

there, faced that problem There were
no trains. In fact, there had been
none since February To go overland
to the Texas border meant to go
through the rebel lines and be robbed
of horses, saddles, food, clothing and
shoes.
More than one American reached
E. Paso without shoes and on foot.
To attempt to reach the railroads
operating trains in the South was
equally perilous, while the only re-
naming way-across the mountains
to the west coast-was hazardous
even to consider. Two weeks on
horseback over treacherous mountain
trails with the added discomforts of
daily rains and swollen streams, we're
prospects not calculated to inspire
enthusiasm.
However, we, with some other
Americans, feeling that anything
