THE RED A N 1) PEACE
GEORGIA TO PLAY
FLORIDA GATORS IN
SAVANNAH STADIUM
Sal unlay week the Georgia Bull
dogs Journey to Savannah for their
game with the Florida gators. This
game marks the dehut of the Georgia
team In Savannah and the citizens
of that city are planning to make
this a gala orcaelon for the Georgia
students.
The Florida football team has not
lost a game to date and Is generally
regarded as one of Georgia's most
dangerous opponents. Thus far the
Gators have conquered Southern.
North Carolina State, Auburn and
Mercer. Florida beat Mercer 73 to
0 and Georgia only won by a 52
point margin. This Indicates at
least a strong offensive machine.
The Gators present the strongest con
ference team until Alabama Is
played.

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
FOOTBALL SUMMARY
Last Saturday It was Tulane; to
morrow it will be Auburn. Thus
Georgia goes marching on.
Auburn appears to be the only
opponent left that may be consider
ed evon comparatively easy. Flor
ida certainly is no tame alligator, L.
S. U. Is a more doubtful matter, hut
Alubama and Tech are assured as
worthy foes. If the Bulldogs can
hurdle these four barriers success
fully, the conference championship
still will remain In the Cracker state,
the only difference being that Ath
ens and not Atlanta will have the
honor of elnlmlng the mythical
crown.
The Georgia-Auburn game out-
dates all other Southern football
I classics. The first game played In
I the South occurred In 1893, if our
! memory is correct that far back,
with the Bulldogs and Pluinsmen op-
j posing each other on Herty field.
frJl Tnr TpiltTI A "' ,,irn gridiron glory has been
AJaiUI ™ \?iaXXA diminished by a long string of
I losses In the past few years, but
The Bullpups turned In the second still the battle at Columbus an-
wln of the season Friday when they j nually attracts thousands of football
bent the Baby Gators of Florida 20 fans,
to 19.
Bullpups Defeat
Baby
The Georgia victory wns achieved
largely through their aerial game.
Smith received a pass and took It
across for the first Bullpup touch
down and another pass to Smith put
the hall In position for second score.
The third Georgia touchdown came
ns a result of a Florida fumble and
Gaston took the ball across.
The Bullpups next take on the
Alabama Frosh team.
Hill Spectators
Vacate Perches
Those who had plnnned to see the
Homecoming game from the "bleach
ers” on the Ag hill met sad disap
pointment Saturday afternoon when
they encountered jiewral officers,
who were stern of action and hard-
boiled with words. "Move-on” was
the pass word of the officers and It
kept the gang moving.
Chief Beusse and his small force
of officers handled the big crowd In
nice style and gave fine assistance
to the athletic authorities nt the
field and then handled the traffic up
town well. Chief Beusse has a very
small force of men and pn occasions
like Saturday it Is necessary very
often to double up with the night
force.
Another group that afforded fine
assistance was the Boy Scouts. They
ushered and helped handle the crowd
In many wavs. A number of Scouts
from Watklnsvllle. Lexington »nd
other near-by towns were here to
help the local scouts. Scout masters
Lester and Bridges were in charge
of the boys.
The rivalry between students of
the two Institutions is keen, prob
ably only that between Georgia and
Tech being more so. Freshman cap-
snatching. which usually leads to a
foot race and fight if the pursuer or
Ills friends Is the fastest, is a favor
ite amusement during the Auburn
week-end. When we were a frosh,
hack In the dark ages, scientifically
j known as the antlphlogistlne age,
we managed to protect our precious
red cap until Thanksgiving. Then,
to our eternal disgrace, a big Ala
baman made away with It as we
boarded the train hack to Athens
from Birmingham. Despite our best
efforts he escaped, but we'll bet he
turned a scarlet hue If he had any
tdeu what the owner of the cap
thought of him. So, watch your
caps, freshmen.
Polo will be offered local devotes
of sports this fall, according to Major
A. T. Colley of the local R. O. T. C.
unit Thursday. Practice is under
way by students of advanced cavalry
in the University of Georgia, from
whom the teams will be selected, and
exhibition games will probably be
gin by the middle of November.
Captain Joseph P. Lambert, of the
11th Cavalry, Monterey, California,
Is scheduled to arrive in Athens
about November 12, to assume
charge of the players. Under his
expert Instruction the local pololsts
are expected to develop Into skillful
wlelders of the sticks and willow
halls, and to furnish Athenians with
exciting sport.
With the exception of guards for
the legs of the horses, all material
necessary in the playing of the game
is now In hand. With the arrival of
Captain Lambert everything will be
in readiness for the initial game of
the season.
Polo is the most ancient of all
stick and ball games. Although it
is not adapted for playing by the
masses, it possesses many interesting
features. Originally a Persian sport,
It spread into Japan, India and
China in early times, and was adapt
ed for playing in England and Amer
ica only within the last fifty years,
since which time its popularity has
been steadily increasing. While it
is still a rarity in the south, it is
played extensively In the north and
in England, the international match
es for the championship of the world
attracting wide interest on both sides
of the Atlantic.

Georgia had a 30-polnt margin In
victory In 1927, the final score being
33-3. Coach Woodruff kept his
shock troops on the sidelines until
near the end of the first quarter and
ihe team that took up the battle
after the half was made up entirely
of substitutes, yet the big Bulldogs
rplled up four touchdowns while
they were In the game.

Two letter-men of the 1927 la
crosse team, Barnes and Strickland,
who were out of the University last
season, reported to Coach Ira C.
Nicholas at the practice of the team
Monday. Barnes is a veteran at
tack man and Strickland played de
fense for two seasons.
The return of these two men
brightens the Bulldogs' chances of
turning out a winning team. Barnes,
Johnson, Moncrief, Crouch, and Aber
crombie would make an attack of
experienced men: Moncrief, freshmajj
star of last year, being the only man
who has not seen varsity competition.
A veteran defense composed of Cap^

GEORGIA BULLDOGS
DEFEAT GREENIES IN
CONFERENCE GAME
The local Bulldogs ebbed the flow
of the Tulane Green Wave here Sat
urday by the score of 20 to 14.
Scoring two touchdowns in the first
quarter and another in the third
the Georgia team piled up a lead that
a Tulane rally was unable to over
come and in spite of spirited play
in the second half the Greenies re
turned to New Orleans with a third
straight defeat chalked up against
them.
Saturday the Georgia squad looked
good. In the first quarter they piayed
good enough football for anybody
showing that they had a real team.
The let-up in the second half is in
excusable but they showed what
they had in the first part of the
game.
After Tulane had kicked off and
the hall had been brought about
twenty yards up the field Harvey
Hill got away for a forty yard run
and Rothstein bucked it over.
Tulane then received and Georgia
held them for downs. They punted
and another drive that resulted in a
touchdown was started. A pass,
Hill to Maffett, taking the ball over
for the marker.
In the last few minutes of the
second quarter Tulane got started
and their drive ended with a beauti
ful pass which scored a touchdown.
Shortly after the beginning of the
second half Banker fumbled and Maf-
fet picked up the ball and ran for
a touchdown. This was the second
touchdown of the day for this soph
omore end.
Tulane soon started its rally that
kept the outcome of the game in
doubt until the final whistle and
made the game the most thrilling
played on Sanford field in quite a
while.
