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.
