OLD ELI COMES
SOUTH TO PLAY
FOR FIRST TIME
The next obstacle for the Bulldogs
to hurdle in their race for conference
honors is Florida and this team pre
sents a real menace to the clean con
ference slate of the Georgia team.
In five games played the Gators
have scored 211 points, more than
any team in the south and second
only to Georgetown in national j
scoring honors. This indicates, or '
rather proves, that Florida has a j
powerful offensive and for the Bull
dogs to beat this team is a real step
towards honors in the south.
For the past few weeks the Geor
gia team has been in bad physical
shape but most of the men will be
in shape Saturday. Success for the
Red and Black will depend largely
on the condition of the team.
In amassing the astonishing num
ber of points that they have ac
cumulated, the Gators have played
Southern, Auburn, North Carolina
State, Mercer, and Sewanee. None of
these teams have the strength that
the Bulldogs possess. Possibly the
strongest team that the Gators have
played is North Carolina State and
a one touchdown margin was all that
Florida could accomplish.
When the opening whistle sends
the two teams into action Saturday
the Bulldogs will, bar mishap, be
in the best shape since the Yale
game and, the Georgia team should

YALE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION
YALE STA TION-NEW HAVEN-CONNECTICUT
October 26, 1928
Dean S. V. Sanford,
University of Georgia
Athens, Georgia
My dear Mr. Sanford:
It is my pleasant duty and privilege
to inform you that Hie Board of Control of the Yale
University Athletic Association at its first meeting
of the current academic year has gratefully accepted
your friendly proposal that the Georgia-Yale football
game on October 12, 1929 be played at the new Georgia
Stadium as the occasion of its dedication. Our
Board recognizes with satisfaction the close academic
and athletic connections between the two Universities
and the exceptional circumstances which your invitation
generously emphasizes. The continuance of the Georgia
Yale game on its usual date and its transfer for the
coming season to the Georgia Stadium will, we trust,
confirm and strengthen the cordial relations which
already exist.
Yale University and the University
of Georgia will play In Athens, Oc
tober 1 2, 19 29, according to the let
ter received from the Yale authori
ties early this week accepting the
Invitation of the University to play
the game here instead of New Haven,
as originally scheduled. The game
will be played as the dedication game
for the new Georgia stadium which
will be completed soon.
Yale's 1929 schedule, as also an
nounced this week, shows the trans
fer of the Georgia game to Athens
and the substitution of Vermont for
Maine as an opener. Except for
these changes and the annual re
versal of playing fields for the two
Big Three games with Princeton and
Harvard, Yale’s schedule for 1929 Is
like that of 1928 with games sched
uled again with Brown, Army, Dart
mouth, and Maryland.
By coming south next year, Yale
goes entirely against tradition. The
Blue has never played out of the
Bowl except for the Princeton or
Harvard games In Its history. None
of the Big Three has ever been
south to play.
Since* 1920, Georgia has Invaded
other territory on numerous oc
casions, Yale has been played in New
Haven six times and Chicago and
Harvard have played the Bulldogs on
their own fields. Dartmouth and
Georgia played In Atlanta In 1921.

Annual Junior-
Senior Debate
Is Wednesday
A stunt program sponsored by the
University of Georgia Glee club for
the purpose of finding suitable num
bers for the program of the Glee
club in its road trips later in the
year was staged before a packed
audience in the University chapel
Wednesday night.
The program consisted In general
of comic and musical numbers Inter
spersed with a chalk talk, a fancy
manual of arms, and sleight of hand
tricks. It was given In the form
of a contest, the numbers being
presented in competition for a ten
dollar prize which went to the three
Pritchard brothers, Cheyenne, Wy
oming, for their comic and fancy
manual of arms. Other numbers
which met with the especial approval
of Glee club officials were Jacld
Parr’s comic chalk talk, the Instru
mental Tangle of R. E. Floyd and
Dan Jardine, John Hodgson’s tum
bling act. and The Great Nebbo, an
exhibition of sleight of hand tricks
by Lindsey Hopkins and Conral
Smith.
The judges in the contest were E.
P. Gidley, E. A. Lowe, and Dr. E.
M. Coulter.
This is something of an innovation
in the way of finding Glee club ma-
