ATHENS GETS ’29 YALE GAME PORT CITY WILL WITNESS GEORGIA- FLORIDA BATTLE LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE FROM YALE ATHLETIC AUTHORITIES GEORGE H. NETTLETON, Chairman HAROLD F. WOODCOCK, Central Manager JOHN M. CATES, Athletie Director JAMES C. GREEN WAV’, Secretary GEORGE PARMLY DAY, Treamrer 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 (Continued on page 5) 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. Stunts Sponsored By Glee Club in Georgia Chapel With assurance of our high regard, T am Faithfully yours, GEORGE II. NETTLETON, Chairman of the Board of Control 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.

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- (Continued on page 5) Yale University Athletic Association.
