GEORGIA PLANNING HALL OF FAME" TO HONOR LUMINARIES
Fly CAREY J. WILLIAMS

fidHS are now unuer way TOT the cS- tablshment of Georgia Hall of Fame the purpose of which is to perpetu- ate the memory of the outstanding men who serve the university the grid iron, the basketball floor, the track and diamond and to keep alive the many en- dearing traditions of the staid old insti- tuition, so they may be handed down to posterity in unchanged form
 The exact details of the scheme have no. yet been fully worked out, but the general idea is to complete the University of Georgia gymnasium, which is known as Alumni halt, cut of the money col lected by the memorial fund campaign, and to devote one or two rooms Tn thls building for this purpose.
 The work on the gymnasium was halt ed when America entered the war. and this handsome structure has never been completed. On account of the enormous increase in cost of in building material during the war it was thought best to wait until times reached their normal condition before continuing work on this building.
 PICTURE ROOM
 On one side of the room in this build ing are to be placel group pictures of the teams that represent the Red and Black in all branches of athletics and also per haps individual pictures of all team cap tains.
 On the other side will be pictures of cnly those men who distinguish them selve$in some very particular way m athletics while in college. The require ments for man getting his picture in this Hall of Fame are to be very strict, so to make it the very highest honor possible to those who are so fortunate as to win a place for their pictures on the wall. For instance. in track, no man will be eligible to entry unless he breaks some record, or in football unless he makes some dazzling. sensational play at some very critical stage of the game which turns defeat into victory and makes his name worthy of immortaliza- ton.
 INSTANCES OF VALOR
 This worthy project is being backed by every student and athlete. In the first place it will offer a means whereby one may render the honor due to those great outstanding stars like Bob McWhorter and countless other luminaries of the days gone by and days to come, who give their best efforts on the athletic field.
 There have been instances in the grid iron history of Georgia where men have risked their lives to help the Bulldog team to victory. The old-timers stiil talk about how Hugh Bostwick played and helped to win a football game against Georgia Tech in the good old balmy days by playing over half the game with broken shoulder. Then, too. there is Kid Woodruff, who immortalzed himself in the annals of football history by play ing game with his back in a plaster of paris cast.
 III one of the first intersectional base ball games ever played in the entire country Will Sanford noted Georgia ed- ucator of Augusta. pitched the Red and Black to victory over the University Of Pennsylvania in a 8 to 0 contest.
 Then, too, there's another instance i'll the Red and Blacks football history where Rome boy was injured on the gridiron while playing. and was carried to the side lines, where he died few minutes after, while the Georgians marched on to victory.
 Henry Grady played second base on one of the first baseball teams, and he was considered one of the best keystone guardians in the game at that time.
 The Bulldogs have had such distin- guished coaches as 'Pops Warner. the old master" and present coach of the Pittsburg Partners It was Warner who gave Georgia her first S I. A. A. cham pionshp eleven way back in the sos. when his charges defeated all corners.
 Hughey Jennings. who coached and managed the Detroit Tigers. and was re- cei tly succeeded by Tyrus Raymond Cobb. is another Bulldog coach. Jennings had charge of the baseball team in lyOS
 The university has sent several dis tinguished baseball players to the major leagues. while Alfred Scott who played basketball on the red-jerseyed quintet several years ago. was considered one ot the best floor men that the game has ever produced. centive to those men, which will inspire them to even greater deeds than have becn accomplished in the past.
