Hooks was the individual high- polnt man In the swimming meet with three first places. His fifteen points alone placed Georgia second in the meet, two points behind Geor gia Tech. Hooks was awarded the light-heavyweight boxing champion ship and he was fourth in the 100- yard dash in the track meet. He did not play with the Georgia baseball team which lost its first game in the tournament to the North Georgia Aggies. McKwen's points were made prin cipally as high-point man in track, though he played through to semi finals with the Florida nine, and was runner-up in his weight In box ing.

Bob Young, No ble Jones, and George Crisfield are the nucleus around which will be built the 1828 harrier squad. Sant Tahnadge, a sophomore, winner of the intra-mural cross country run last year, is expected to add strength to the varsity team. Donald Bran- yon, captain last year, and W. R. Bee-ton are lost to the team through graduation.

Mthough the game was arranged sev eral months ago and scheduled for •be new stadium here, the date was not decided until the conference Wednesday. That game and the dedication game next year are expected to bring to Athens the grimiest crowds that have ever assembled here for any event, athletic or otherwise. Furman Game On October 19 The dute of the Furman-Georgiu game has been changed from Satur day, October 20 to Friday, October 19. according to an announcement made by the Athletic association. The change was made because the state Kiwanis convention Is being held in Athens on Friday and the delegates will be enabled to see the game. Many students also intend to go to Atlanta Saturday to see the Tech-Notre Dame battle. There is also a probability that Coach Mehre will take the Georgia football men to Atlanta to see the game.

The Red and Black may not win every game; may not beat Yale; may not beat Tech; may not beat Alabama. A lot of things may or may not happen, but the future worrieth me not. Red Smith and Maffett, a spoho- more, have the inside track on flank positions right now, but just a little slip and successors might be named from the ranks of the following men: Palmer, who made his letter last year; Nixon, a big, fast man who should make an ideal end; Joe Martin, who undoubtedly will see service; Glenn Bradley, Kelley, and one or two other gentlemen. Coach Mehre Is faced with the task of replacing four veteran lines men. in particular two All-American ends, which is no easy task. Gene Smith. Bear Morris, Chick Shiver, and Tom Nash all were lost by grad uation last June, leaving a shattered forward wall. Gene Haley and Olin Huff are the most promising candi dates to till Smith’s shoes. Jacob son will take care of the other guard position. Glenn Lautzenhiser and either Tlieo Frisbie or Cree Stelling will be the regular tackles. Joe Boland, Morris, and Lanford all are back for ing. and L. S. U. the track meet. The Citadel was awarded the gen eral efficiency cup which included athletics, military proficiency, marks manship, and conduct and attitude of cadets. The Four Horsemen backfleld stands as it is, Johnson. Hooks, Dud ley, and McCrary, with apologies to none. All that is needed here is a little better punting and passing from Johnson and Hooks. There is plenty of reserve material that may break out in big headlines if given a chance—Davidson, Waugh, Cox, Harvey Hill, Rothstein, Cook, Myers, Butler. MeCutcheon, Paris, etc. FROSH FOOTBALL PROSPECTS LOOK UNUSUALLY BRIGHT Since the beginning of freshman week, Coach Gene Smith has been working the freshman football squad daily. The candidates for the team this year number about seventy, and from the looks of this group Geor gia should have a fairly good fresh man team. There is more material this year than there has been for the past two seasons. One line averages about a hundred and ninety pounds and should be able to hold its own against any team that it goes up against. There are more candidates for the backfield than there are for the line, and among this number are several with long prep-school rec ords. However, the showing of prep-school stars in college football is sometimes disappointing and only the coming months can tell whether or not they will come through. The freshmen looked fairly good against the varsity, but ail scrim mages at the first of the year are pretty ragged and the freshmen were on the defensive during the entire scrimmage. An unusual part of the freshman schedule this year is the double- header that is to be played next month. On the same day freshmen encounter the Clemson rats in An derson, S. C., and the Mercer fresh men in Louisville. If the Georgia rats win both games they will prove that they have a good club. Incidentally, the freshman squad is bigger, numerically and phys ically, than ever before. They look capable of (Continued) Nice Cars U-Drive-It-Co.
