Captain Jim Barclay ranked second in
the 220. .
Weiss also had the top times in the
440 a 5Y2S against Navy, and 5:21.7
in the Southern conference meet.
In the backstroke Roy Gibson and
Louis Scheinman were the No 1 and
2 men all season. Gibson placed first
in every meet except the Duke tilt
when Scheinman marked up his best
short course time of 1:47.5 to lick him.
Gibson's- best short course mark was
1:45.6 which gave" him second behind
State's Sid Ingram in the conference
meet. His top long course time was
2:04.5 in the Georgia Tech contest.
Southern conference champion Bob
Ousley was the No. . 1 man in the
breaststroke. He established a new
conference record of 2:35.1 in the loop
meet and swam to a 2:36.8 in the Duke
engagement for his best times.
Although strong enough to score in
both the 50- and 100-yard events in
the conference, the sprint events were
the weakest. Whit Lees was easily the
superior man in both races, but his
better times were recorded in the 100.
Against Navy he swam 55.3 for
second place. Bob Rose,. Buzz Mitchell
and Coxhead were' strong in their
sprint events in the conference meet.
Jim Barclay was used several times in
the 100 with good results.
The diving of Don Nicholson, who
placed second in the National junior
one-meter hoard diving here last Sat
urday, and Johnny Feuchtenberger,
who got fourth, was easily one of the
features of every meet. Unfortunate
ly, except for Nicholson's work in the
Nationals, the best diving was done
away irom home. euchtenberger
looked good in the Washington and
Lee meet and Nicholson was unbeat
able in the conference meet.

teristics of its original ' prototype."
The Ball used by the savage was made
of & piece of scraped deer-skin, mois
tened and stuffed with: deer's hair,
and strbnjgly sewed with deer sinews."
The ball sticks were about two feet
long and were worked with deer-skin
thongs. "Between these," says Adair,
"they catch the Bali and are enabled
to throw it a great distance when not
prevented by the; opposite party,
whose effort it is to intercept its pas
sage. .
Although the description given by
r Adair resembles closely accounts- of
lacrosse as; it was played by the In
dians", it is possible that this expert
wishes to trace baseball to the Red
skins. Lacrosse; it is known, started
in the region of the St. Lawrence
river. It may have spread by some way
to the Indians in Georgia, and doubt
less was altered in its development.
At each end of the goal, which was
some five hundred yards in length, the
Indians fixed two long, bending poles,
three yards apart at the bottom, but
much farther outward at the top.
When the ball was thrown over these,
the score increased one; but if the ball
went underneath, it was cast back and
played for as usual. The : gamesters,
who were of equal number on both
sides, began each course of the ball by
throwing it high in the center of the
ground and in a direct line between
the two goals. Sometimes the crowd of
players prevented the one who caught
the ball from throwing it. directly, in
front. To send it in the right course,
the player used an "artful, sharp
twirl."
"They are so exceedingly expert in
this manly exercise," said Adair, "that
between the goals, the ball is mostly
flying the different ways, by the force
of the playing-sticks, without falling
to the ground; for they are not al
lowed to catch it with the hand '. . .
