READY FOR ACTION
Opening Dances Attracting
Large Crowds to Athens
Essay Contest Is
Open to Students
Glenn Lautzenhiser, Atlanta, co-cap
tain of the Bulldogs, who leads the
Bulldogs against Mercer Saturday
and who has been honored with
membership in the Sphinx club.
Hodgson Recital
Given in Chapel
Hugh Hodgson. Athens, new pro
fessor of music in the University,
held his first organ recital in the
chapel Thursday night when a large
crowd listened spell-bound as the
beautiful strains poured forth. Mr.
Hodgson plans to give these recitals
often during the year.
H. A. Burke, the builder, has
built organs for more than fifty
years, being one of the first work
men of the famous Roosevelt Organ
company. He is noted for his voic
ing ability and in following the tra
ditions of the various qualities of
sound expected from the different
stops. Mr. Burke has been tireless
in his efforts to make this special
instrument his masterpiece, and
whereas each set of pipes has its own
individuality, there is a blending of
the whole (found vtery seldom in
organs of today.
All the latest inventions in organ
building have been used to advan
tage, so that the response of the
quick action of the keyboard is in
stantaneous, although the console is
placed the full length of the build
ing from the organ pipes, whict*
are in the balcony of the chapel.
Bulldogs Meet
Mercer Bears
Here Saturday
The Georgia Bulldogs fare the
Mercer Bears for the thirty-fourth
time Saturday. These teams began
playing together in 1892 and have
played every year since with the ex
ception of a few years. During these
annual encounters Georgia has won
every game and Mercer has only
scored three times; one of these
scores came Vn 1911, 'another in
1923 and the third occurred last
year when Phoney Smith ran back
the kickoff for a touchdown. The
first game between Georgia and Mer
cer marked the beginning of foot
ball in the south, no game having
been played until these two teams
met.
There Is no reason to believe that
the long line of Georgia victories
will be broken this year. Mercer’s
victory over Presbyterian college
last Friday was not impressive and
Georgia should win handily Satur
day. Coach Mehre, however, is over
looking no chances for an upset and
the Mercer game is being taken with
all the seriousness that it warrants.
Last season the main question was
whether or not Phoney Smith would
score. Reports emanating from Ma
con are that the Bears have built a
team, not Just ten men to play with
a star, for 1928. This system means
a better machine.
Practice during the last week hag
shown the varsity to be continually
improving and they should be in ex
cellent shape for the game Saturday.
All the Georgia regulars are in good
shape with the exception of Roy
Jacobson and while his loss will he
' felt It should not hinder the team In
; securing a win. The only man on
the Georgia team who was In serious
{condition was Henry Myers; he was
hurt in an automobile accident this
I summer, but he got in his first scrim
mage Wednesday and showed up
well. His knee seems to be com
pletely healed.
It is not known who will start the
game for Georgia and there is a pos
sibility that the second team will get
the first crack at Mercer. This is
doubtful, however, as no chances
| will be taken with the Bear team.
Mrs. James W. Gerard, wife of
the former ambassador to Germany,

lege students or graduates of not
