THE MASS MEETING
On Thursday night Forensic was
the scene of one of the most
enthusiastic mass meetings of the
year, when almost the whole
Mountain turned out to give the
team a loyal send-off to the classic
city of Athens, Georgia. The
same good old Sewanee Spirit was
right there during the whole
meeting, from the time when the
first note of "March, March on
Down the Field" rang out till the
"U. of S." was murmured by a
hoarse voiced freshman. If it
had been possible to have had
that same crowd at Athens on the
afternoon of the twenty-first we
would hesitate to say what the
score would have been in favor of
the Purple.
The speech-making was started
off by Coach Cope with a rousing
address, and he was followed by
Phillips, Hullihen, Manager Spearing, and a score of others. Between each speech, songs were
sung. Most notable, however,
were the addresses from the various members of the team. From
Crappo Swain's loud and noisy
harangue to Shorty Magwood's
last " B ' Gum" they one and all
showed that* the men were going
to play the best they could. As
