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, has offered two prizes of $1,00(1 each for the best essay written by col lege students or graduates of not more than two years standing on the subject: “Why Alfred E.

Special Rates to Yale Possible Following a large number of in quiries from students and followers of the University of Georgia foot ball team. Dr. S. V. Sanford, dean of the University and faculty chair man of athletics, has taken up with the Seaboard Airline Railway, the matter of a "Bulldog'’ special to ac company the team to New Haven next week. Seaboard authorities are investigating the possibilities of the special with cut rates for those going and the results will be an nounced within the next two or three days.

If rates are secured, the railroad (Continued on page 6) The Opening Dances of the Uni versity begin Friday afternoon with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon tea-dance, honoring the fraternity’s pledges, to -e held in Woodruff hall.
