CAGE TEAM WILL
OPEN SEASON ON
SATURDAY NIGHT
Three of Last Year’s Varsity
Players Will Appear on Floor
A«rain.
FLORENCE lS CAPTAIN
(By Jack Frost)
The,University of Georgia basket
ball team will make its initial ap
pearance at Woodruff hall Saturday
night at 8:15 o’clock when the Bull
dog team will meet the Southern
Bell Telephone company. The ad
mission is 50 cents.
For several weeks basketball
practice has been underway at Wood
ruff hail and during that time a
large number of men have been re
porting daily for workouts. No
workout was held Monday afternoon,
hut a long scrimmage was held
Tuesday afternoon. Two teams tak
ing parts in the scrimmage were:
Florence and Keen, forwards; Drew,
center; Harris and Anderson, guards;
on one team and Hill and Cook, for
wards; Hart, center; and Palmer and
Benson, guards, on the other outfit.
Scrimmages were held on through
Friday afternoon.
With the football season now a
tiling of the past all interest around
the University campus has been au
tomatically shifted to Woodruff hall
and the basketball team that Geor
gia will have this season. It will
be remembered that the Bulldog,
team of last year was one of the
best in the conference and that dur
ing that season the Bulldogs were
runners-up for the Southern con
ference championship. The material
that may be found reporting to
Woodruff hall daily looks good, just
good enough to lead anyone to be
lieve that the Bulldog team of this
year will be just as good as any In
the past.
Georgia’s prospects are good.
Three of the regular players of last
year’s team are back ready to en
joy another team under red and
black standards. These three men
are Babe Florence, captain-elect, and
George Keen, forwards, and Slim
Drew, center. Last year Keen was
an all-Southern forward, while Flor
ence received mention for the hon
orary team.
And to work with these three men
may be found a host of other good
material. Jimmy Harris and Hollis

Cracker to Give
Cash Award for
Theme Drawings
Unless the editorial staff takes the
title too seriously and forgets to
publish an issue qf The Cracker in
January, the first appearance of the
magazine in 19 28 will be that of the
“Absent-Minded Number,” according
to Ben Hardy, editor of the comic.
This issue of The Cracker is due off
the press on January 15, but may be
delayed a few days on account of
the time lost during the Christmas
holidays, according to the editor.
In an effort to increase the effec
tiveness of the theme an award of
$1.00 will be paid to each artist con
tributing an acceptable drawing per
tinent to the subject. Each drawing
must be accompanied by a title or
joke, with the idea of absent-mind
edness carried out in the art work.
Drawings on other subjects will be
accepted, but no award will be made
for any not relative to the theme.
About 12 or 14 drawings will be
used in the “Absent-Minded Num
ber,” which will be either 28 or 32
pages, stated Mr. Hardy. At least
half of these drawings will be of the
single column size, 2 1-3 inches wide
by 3 or 4 inches high; therefore con
tributors will stand a better chance
of having drawings of this size ac
cepted.
However, there will be three or
four 3 $4 by 3% engravings; one
or two 4(4 wide by 2, 3, or 4 high:
and one or two 6% wide by 3 high.
Artists are requested to draw ac
tual size or exactly twice actual size,
so that reproduction can be made
easily. All drawings are to be in
India ink on drawing paper. They
must be put in The Cracker contri
bution box before December 21, or
mailed to Ben Hardy, Jr., Barnes-
ville, Georgia, not later than Friday,
December 30, so that they will reach
the engravers in time.
Any artist may hand in as many
drawings as he or she wishes, of anv
of the sizes given above; non-mem
bers, as well as members, of the staff
are eligible.
The magnificent sum of ten cents
will be paid for each original joke
on the absent-minded theme accept
ed for the number, the editor an
nounced. ‘Any joke-smith is eli
gible. whether a stafT member or
not, and each may contribute any
number of jokes. They must all be
original and must carry out the ab
sent-minded idea; as a general rule,
the shorter the joke the better, Mr.
Hardy added.
These contributions must be placed
in the contribution box not later
than Thursday, January 4.
