COACH NOW PLAYING ROLL
OF VARSITY
MUCH MATERIAL TO WORK ON'
Varsity Team at Beginning of Season
Will be a Developed Team Only
One Letter-Man is on the
Squad This Season
The plans this year for' the
basketball season 'seem to indicate
that this sport is rapidly leaving
the class of minors and entering
the major class here at the Uni
versity. While no Northern teams
are being played, still there are
strong Southern teams who should
make good opponents for the var
sity. Varsity practice started last
.Tuesday night in the Gymj fol
lowing a plan never before tried
here. :
At present Coach Peacock is
working with the all-class team
which is composed of Sheppard,
McDuffie, S. C. Perry, C. G. Tenr
nent and Gwyn. . Raby Tennent,
captain, has reported for practice
and will probably be in good con
dition before the season opens. As
there is only one letter man on the
squad this year, the team will be
one which has been entirely devel
oped by the coach. Those who have
been watching the last few prac
tices say iihat the. team will be
equal in every way unless super:
ior to last years' quintet. Although,
taken individually, the players do
not show up as well as last year
team, there are evidences of real
team work displayed already.
Coach Peacock ran the class sea
son off and selected the best ma
terial developed in the class con
tests for the varsity, squad. Bas
kets have been put up in the Gym
and a squad consisting of Hodges,
Adams, Sawyer, McKeithan, Lit

bert home on North Church St.
The house was decorated in white
and green. " After the reception
Mr. and Mrs. Steadman visited in

Mrs. Bain's.
Among the out of town guests
to participate in the wedding were
Messrs. G. W. Scott, and J. W.
