MONROE eleven
WOULD RETURN
FOR D. C. GAME
BY KIRK MILLER


A New Year bowl" game was
made available to washington for
some deserving cause today when
the Georgia Vocational and Trade
School, which defeated an all-star
High School team here during the
holidays a year ago, offered to
play a return engagement.
Through its enissary here, Car
ter Goew's Theaters) Barron,
Chief Barker emeritus Of the Va
riety Club and brother Of David I.
Red" Barron, coach of the bus
Ting little schools football team
at Monroe, Ca, the offer comes.
Evidently the Georgia lads liked
the Washington hospitality last
winter, for, while every member OF
the team which played at Catholic
University that chill Sunday grad
uated in June, they told their ju-
nior fellows so much about the
trip here that to a man they want
to see if they can't repeat the vic
tory their elders established.
WON'T COST MUCH
Given the chance, they'll at
tempt it, for whatever charity
might be designated by a local
committee. All they would want
would be their expenses, and these,
as was the case last year, could be
kept to the minimum through the
contacts at the command of those
in a position to keep down the
nut"
The young GeorgianS have just
emerged from a highly satisfac-
tory season, according to Brother
Carter, who is fresh in receipt OF
a letter from Brother Red" re-
calling him of the record of the
Monroe (Ga.D eleven this year.
Now, the Vocational and Trades
School hasn't one of those unde-
feated, united records, such as are
Haunted by many boastful teams,
but they've had a very successful
season and only last Friday won
the Georgia Prep title from Geor-
gia Military Academy-by a score
of Z to o.
ONLY ONE DEFEAT
In its regular schedule, the
Georgia schools team lost only
one game, and that to a team con-
siderably older, the Georgia Tech
"B" squad to which Monroe lost
by but 7 to o when it stepped out
of its class.
Boys High was tied, 6-6. Cor
don Junior College was turned
back, 60. Mercer Freshmen lost
25-O. Lanier High was defeated
TO. Georgia Military Academy
lost 13 to IL, and Riverside Mill
tary College was turned back
18-0.
AS Brother Carter says, there's
more behind the Monroe record
than the average football fan out
side of "Crackerland" would
realize, not knowing the caliber OF
the teams which are represented
in the schedule.
For instance, both Gordon and
Georgia Military colleges are OF
Junior college caliber. MERGERS
team was a college freshman
team and the Tech eleven was a
few grades better.
PROVED THEIR CLAIM
After Monroe had completed
its regular season, the Georgia
State Military Academy ques-
toned the formers claim to the
State prep title. They were taken
on, and turned back, last Friday,
as related above.
Brother Red" has informed
Brother Carter, sub, that this
years team is the best he ever
coached, and when the former
Georgia Tech ace makes a state
ment like that, you may well
know he is taking in a lot OF
territory.
To those Washingtonians who
saw GQG dig SCOGC PA4CO OP Ny
Brother "Red'S" team in Wash
ington last winter, his statement
takes on vigor as well as sig
nificance.
His boast is not unfounded, fol
year ago Georgia Military Acad
envy defeated Monroe, and River
side tied them at Gall.
Any team, or team comblna
ton, want to take on the Monro'
team here for charity?
