Last year the Georgia Bulldogs were the only team in the eountry to defeat Yale and it is with the memory of this LOOKING ON By R. E. HAMILTON Remembrance of last year’s vic torious march by the Georgia Hull- dogs not only causes greater interest and speculation among Red and Rlack supporters but also trains the eyes of the football world on Coach Mchre’s team. And Saturday the Georgia eleven makes its opening bow in the first public appearance of the current football season. great victory that the Georgia team goes forth Into the east. Reports from the east indicate that Yale Is doing everything possible to get ready for the Georgia team and that every endeavor will he made to avenge the defeat of last year. Coach Mehre is not conceding nnything to Yale, however, and it is assured that the Georgia team will enter the Howl In the best possible shnpe and the full force of the Georgia attack. Yale lost by graduation practically But perhaps the word bow was ill chosen; the Mercer Bears are counted upon to do the bowing. At loaHt they have a perfect slate in this regard during all the years the Ma con and Athens institutions have met on the gridiron, however lust ily they have yelled and hoped to give history a kick in the pants and set precedent. Teams have come and teams have gone, parading their futile little hours in the spotlight, but the results have been the same. 1 Always, my denr. the same men that Georgia lost. Two great ends were lost by both teams, a guard who received nll-Amerlcan mention were lost by each team, a tackle nnd two halfbacks were loBt by both Georgia and Yale. How ever, Ynle lost the great Bruce Cald well, all-American halfback nnd this loss was greater than nny of Geor gia’s hackfleld losses. Caldwell, in the fourth quarter of last year’s game, gained twenty-two times out of the twenty-four he carried the ball and It was only on the goal line that an inspired Georgia team managed to stop him. The Georgia team will not have this man to go up ngatnst this year. Coach Mehre Is putting his men through long workouts each day to get them rendy for this game and when the whistle blows on the thir teenth Yale will be confronted with all that Georgia can muster. Co-Eds to Have Tennis Tourney The Michael's Cup Tournament will be held soon with tennis teams representing all the Women’s dormi tories and Sorority houses participat ing. Each team will conduct Its own preliminaries nnd the girls selected will compete under the rules of the Women's Athletic association. Last year the cup was won by the Ch| Omega Sorority represented by Miss Elsie Jester and Miss Alice Rowland. The teams fighting for the trophy this year are Chi Omega. Alpha Gamma Delta, Knppa Delta. Phi Mu, Freshman House, Sopho more House. Bumpkin House and Soule Hall. JOHNSON SHOE COMPANY TO GIVE PI,AYKK SHOPS Past performances do not win games; but, frankly, Georgia should be the victor by at least three touch downs. Having disposed of that matter, let us proceed with the lesson. Next Wednesday the annual trek to New Haven and the consequent encounter with the Northern Bulldogs of Old ICli begins—begins for the team and those fortunate enough to have rail way transportation. Due to the 14-10 score of last October, a greater number of Georgians than ever be fore will make the long Journey. Various nnd sundry methods of transportation are being considered by our carefree colleglates. The ad vance guard of those intending to go by the pickup route will check out Sunday nnd Monday, followed by au tomobiles loaded with others Tues day and Wednesday. The team will arrive in New York over the Seaboard Thursday night, stop over in the metropolis until Friday, arriving in New Haven in time for the workout. Their sup porters will get there when they ar rive. and some won’t even get to arrive at their destination.! Bu>t those who do are not likely to re gret the trials and tribulations of traveling. A last minute analysis of the Bull dogs indicates that the forward wall will average slightly less than 190 pounds, at least as strong as in 19 27 except for the ends, and with a vet eran backfleld that should be even greater than a year ago when 238 points were rolled up in nine games. There is a sufficient quantity of backfleld reserve material, and there Is quite a sprinkling of talent in Rothstein, Harvey Hill, Cook. Cox, Butler. Paris. Myers, Jerdine, Mc- Cutcheon, Dickens, and Waugh. ! The Bulldogs have shown flashes The Johnson Shoe Company on!of brilliance and periods of poor Clayton street announces that it will |form in scrimmages with the fresh- present any pair of shoes in the j men.

Jacobson Breaks Hand in Practice The first blow to the 1928 foot ball prospects was received last Sat urday when Roy Jacobson, co-cap tain of the Bulldog team, broke a bone in his hand during the scrim mage with the freshmen. Jacobson has been unable to participate in practice this week although he has been working out in order to keep In good physical condition. It will be impossible for him to play in the Mercer game Saturday but it is ex pected that he will be sufficiently re covered to get in the Yale game on the thirteenth. Jacobson is one of] the bulwarks of the Georgia forward wall nnd his loss will be keenly felt. Johnson, Hill, Hooks, and Roth- stein have been applying their toes to the ball in punting practice re cently. Johnson probably will be the main dependence and we beg to advance the suggestion that he isn't an amateur. Roy Jacobson will be out of the Mercer game, but watch his name tn accounts of the Yale affair. The regular lineup Saturday will be something like this: Smith, right end; Lautzenhiser, right tackle; Haley, right guard; Roland, center; Huff, left guard; Frisbie or Stelling, left tackle; Moffett, left end: John son. quarterback; Dudley and Hooks, halves; McCrary, fullback. Hern don and Ringel might be in at guard, and Bryant may be seen at tackle. Smith and Moffett have no cinch on the flanks, but they have looked best. Nixon. Palmer. Brad ley, Kelley, and McTigue all are likely to be given a chance during the game. 1928 PANDORA PANELS STILL LEFT ON HAND C. H. Womack. DeSoto. bus iness manager of the 1929 Pan dora. announces that many of the 1928 Pandora panels are still on his hands. He* re quests all organization leaders that have not received theirs to see him at once. SOUTHERN CONFERENCE FOOTBALL SUMMARY Hi's lilts Last Week South Carolina, 6; Chicago, 0.

The varsity completely anihilated the freshmen, winning 74 to 0. The freshmen did not offer much oppo sition to the onslaught of the var sity. Since Saturday’s scrimmage, however, the freshmen have been im proving constantly and in Wednes day’s scrimmage they held the var sity fairly well. Gene Smith has been working tirelessly with his charges and they are beginning to show some form. There is an abund ance of material and a good fresh man team should be turned out, but a showing like the one made Satur- I day is enough to dishearten the most ardent enthusiast. The freshman team suffered a real loss in the injury of Jimmy Sternoff. Sternoff is a fullback and he was going good when the accident oc curred. His knee was hurt while blocking an end. The first game is on the twelfth and in that length of time the fresh men should have developed into a real team.
