VOLUME XXXIV. NUMBER 4. UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATHENS. GA., OCTOBER 11». J»28. SANFORD FIELD SCENE OF FURMAN CONFLICT FRIDAY The Purple Hurricane of Furman University has blown into Athens for its game with the Bulldogs at 3:00 o’clock. During the entire week the Georgia team has practiced rather listlessly and unless a decided im provement is shown Furman should give the Bulldogs quite a battle. Coach Mehre has worked his charges tirelessly and they may improve be fore the game. The Yale game took a lot out of the Georgia team, four players go ing the entire length of the game and several others only being re lieved for a few minutes. Boland, Johnson, Lautzenliiser, and Haley played the whole game and Dudley and McCrary took a great deal of punishment before they were taken out. With these men in somewhat bad shape the second team may be used to start against the Purple. Furman has won one game and lost two, but in winning against Presbyterian Saturday they showed improvement. The Hurricane is al ways a fighting team and although Georgia wins the battle, should be Interesting. The game was originally sched uled for Saturday, October 20, but was moved up a day to allow the members of the Kiwanis club here for the Georgia state convention to attend the game. Due to the change, an opportu nity was given the Georgia students and players to attend the game in Atlanta on Saturday between Geor gia Tech and Notre Dame. This game is to be broadcast over the na tional chain which broadcasted the Georgia-Yale game last week. Desclos to Be October Lecturer For University Auguste V.
