ATHLETICS ATHLETICS at the South Georgia Teachers College have had much to do with growth of the school. In keeping with the change of the school from a two- year Normal School into a four-year Teachers College the athletic teams have scheduled stronger, older, and larger colleges of the South. During 1932-1933 the college has been successful in the athletic world. From January 1, 1932 through March of 1933 the college won four consecutive cham- pionships in the major sports. The basket-ball team of 1932 won the Georgia State Conference Tournament which was held in the college gymnasium here. That same spring the KJ32 baseball team playing in the Georgia State Conference League finished on top. In the fall of 1932 the Blue Tide swept over all oppo- sition and won the Georgia State Conference football championship. This vear, 1933, for the second consecutive year the basket-ball team won another champion- ship, and as this book goes to press the 1933 baseball team seems headed towards another second consecutive year championship. Under the tutorage of Coach B. L. (Crook) Smith athletics have been placed on a high plane, and winning teams have been put on the field for the past three years. In the realm of girls ' athletics, there is only one sport in which there is inter- collegiate competition. The 1932 girls ' basket-ball team won all their games, and the 1933 team finished above the fifty per cent. line. Xot only are there inter-collegiate sports but the intra-mural athletics include boxing, tennis, basket-ball, baseball, soccer, volley-ball, and other forms of whole- some recreation in which practically every student in the college has some part.
