The Georgia Bulldogs face the
Tigers of L. S. U. in the last home
game of the season Saturday. This
game which was looked upon at the
first of the season as being of little
importance has now the aspect of
one of the big games of the season.
The reason for this is that, after
the poor showing against Florida, ail
of the followers of the Georgia team
are looking at this game to see
if Georgia can come back.
L. S, U. has two conference vic
tories to its credit and several wins
over small opponents outside the con
ference. The Tigers have tasted de
feat only once this season and this
at the hands of the Arkansas Razor-
backs. Only three touchdowns have
been scored against L. S. U. this
season. This record shows to some
extent what the Bulldogs are up
against Saturday.
The Georgia team ra nover Mercer
and gave Yale a good tight and while
defeated the Georgians have the sat
isfactions of having played a good
game. Against Tulane in the first
part of the game, the Red and Black
