FOOTBALL  AT    ATHENS  COLLEGE 

This  year's  Athens  College  football  team  is  the  second  ever  to  represent  the 
century-old  institution,  an  earlier  grid  aggregation  having  performed  tor  the 
school  in  1930— the  first  year  boys  were  permitted  to  attend  the  local  college. 

The  first  team  had  its  inception  in  much  the  same  way  the  present  team  was 
assembled,  with  some  notable  exceptions:  The  boys  attending  the  college  wanted 
to  play  football,  which  most  of  them  had  participated  in  while  in  high  school, 
and,  with  the  encouragement  of  a  number  of  local  enthusiasts  of  tie  sport,  a  team 
was  outfitted  by  the  college. 

The  late  Frank  H.  Armstrong  and  Ewin  Grisham  coached  the  1930  eleven 
which,  like  the  present  team,  was  composed  almost  wholly  of  Athens  boys.  As 
recalled  by  some  of  the  members  of  that  team,  Athens  College  met  six  opponents 
—Tupelo  Military  Academy,  Branham  &  Hughes  Military  Academy,  Anniston 
Military  Institute,  Columbia  Military  Academy,  Birmingham-Southern  freshmen 
and  St.  Bernard  College.  The  Athenians  won  their  contests  with  BHMA  (18-0) 
AMI  (6-0)  and  St.  Bernard,  but  were  losers  to  Tupelo  (0-7),  CMA  (6-13)  and 
Birmingham-Southern   ( 0-19 ) . 

After  that  abbreviated  season,  football  languished  at  Athens  College  until 
this  fall,  when  a  group  of  a  dozen  or  more  Athens  businessmen  and  farmers, 
cognizant  of  the  wishes  of  the  now-much-larger  group  of  boys  attending  Athens 
College  to  engage  in  intercollegiate  competition,  "took  the  ball"  themselves. 

It  was  a  matter  of  a  few  days  for  these  local  businessmen  to  raise  the  guaran- 
tee necessary  to  provide  practice  togs  and  uniforms  for  the  squad,  and  to  engage 
Robert  Witt,  former  Mississippi  Southern  end,  as  coach.  Others  of  the  sponsoring 
group  got  busy  arranging  games,  the  response  at  the  box  office  at  the  first  game 
on  Nov.  S  being  such  as  to  vindicate  their  belief  that  the  community  would 
strongly  support  intercollegiate  football. 

Your  attendance  here  tonight  and  for  the  remaining  games  on  the  schedule 
will  go  far  towards  determining  whether  you  will  again  have  the  privilege  of 
seeing  this  same  team  on  the  gridiron  next  fall.

As  this  edition  of  The  Columns  goes  to  press. 

Coach  Llovd  Stone's  Golden  Bears  are  in  the 
midst  of  a  truly  rugged  schedule  and  are 
improving  with  every  game.     Captained  this  year  bv 
Don  Densmore,  the  Golden  Bears  are  greatly 

handicapped  by  their  lack  of  height  but  make 
up  for  this  disadvantage  with  their  sharp-shooting. 

Athens  College  is  noted  for  its  winning  teams 
and  this  year's  quintet  is  no  exception.

SOFTBALL    TEAM... 


RECORD 


Won  20 


Lost  8 


The  Athens  College  Softball  team  entered  in  the  Limestone  County  Softball 
Association  and  finished  third  in  a  very  fast  league.  The  team  was  a  menace  to 
the  top  teams  all  summer  and  would  have  fared  better  if  exams  and  trips  home 
had  not  interfered. 

Billy  Nelson,  college  pitcher,  had  the  second  best  won-lost  record  in  the 
league.  The  team  was  the  best  hitting  team  in  the  league,  but  was  also  high  in 
the  error  standing. 

A  league  rule  stated  that  if  a  team  were  ahead  ten  runs  after  five  innings  of 
play,  the  game  was  called.  Athens  College  won  more  five-inning  games  than 
any  other  team.  Also,  they  were  the  only  team  in  the  league  that  wasn't  beaten 
in  a  five-inning  contest. 

This  year  the  College  will  be  back  in  the  league  and  the  increase  in  enroll- 
ment should  enable  us  to  field  even  a  better  team  than  we  had  last  summer.
