THE RED AND BLACK
GEORGIA STADIUM NEARS
BULLDOGS,
BEAT THOSE
L. S. U. TIGERS!
A
Pf
FINISHING TOUCH
PUT ON 18,000
Considerable progress Is being
made In the construction of the new
University of Georgia stadium, al
though u great deal of work is yet
to he done before the play ground
will ho complete. The north side
of the Htadlum with a seating ca
pacity of 18,000 Is nearly finished,
all It lacks being a few finishing
touches on the press box, another
coat of paint on the wooden seats
and the repair of damage done the
seats hv rocks thrown from the other
side of the stadium by dynamite
blasts.
Construction has been going on
for some time on the south side of
the stadium and about a third of
the 12,000 seats to be on that side
have been completed, however this
work will probably be held up for
a while on account of the necessity
of removing rock from the location
of the stands. Constant drilling,
blasting, and excavating are grad
ually removing the rock, but at least
two weeks will be required to get
that section Into condition for laying
the concrete, according to the fore
man of the excavating crew. The
culvert through which a small stream
flows under the flold has been com
pleted, and the grass on the Held
has been brought Into shape. How
ever, some damage hus been done the
grass by rocks from blasting.
Georgia Harriers

ent season, Captain Bob Young,
Georgia, led his teammates to vic
tory over the Auburn Harriers here

BULLDOGS TO FACE
L S. U. TIGERS IN LAST
HOME GAME OF SEASON
(Continued from page 11
team looked better than It has at
any time this year hut It Is a well
known fact that they played mediocre
football during the last half. In all
other games the team has not played
the football It Is capable of and that
It can play football was shown
against Yale and Tulane.
One of the features that has been
conspicuously absent this year is the
fight that Is necessary to wMn games.
Last year the Georgia spirit was
soaring high but anybody can cheer
a winning club. Thus far the Geor
gia team has had a success that can
only be termed fair and the only
way that the record can be Improved
is for the team to get some fight.
VARSITY GUARD
LOOKING ON
By
R. E. HAMILTON
Last week’s football results are
enough to make one swear off the
game for life. . . Still, it’s the upsets
that give football greater color. If
games were cut and dried affairs
before they were played, the cash
customers would stay away in droves.
Florida 26, Georgia 6. Admitted
ly a hard game for the Bulldogs;
but we can’t see even yet that the
Alligators should have a four-to-one
edge. It was another Reublican vic
tory, too, worse luck. Must be some
thing rotten in Patagonia.
Olin Huff, varsity guard of three
seasons, who makes his last appear
ance on Sanford field against L. S. U.
Saturday.
Lambert Arrives
To Coach Polo
Captain Joseph P. Lambert of the
11th Cavalry, Monterey, California,
arrived in Athens Monday, and will
enter immediately into his duties as
polo Instructor for the prospective
University of Georgia team. The
remaining equipment which Is neces
sary will be ordered soon, and active
practice will begin about the middle
of December. Games will not begin,
however, until spring, Instead of this
fall, us was previously announced.
Capt. Lautzenhiser
Injures Shoulder
The already sadly battered Geor
gia football team received a further
blow In practice Wednesday when
Glenn Lautzenhiser, co-captain and
star tackle of the team, was laid
out with an Injury to his shoulder.
This Is particularly unfortunate
as Captain Lautzenhiser was kept out
of several important games on ac
count of an operation last fall.
During the past games Lautzenhiser
has been one of the bulwarks of
the Georgia line and he will be sadly
missed.
It seems that hard luck dogs the
path of both Georgia captains as
Roy Jacobson was hurt during the
early part of the season and was
kept out of several conflicts.
It is planned to stage a big rally
Friday night and the student booy
together with the hand will go diwn
to Sanford field and have a pep
| meeting The success of this meet-
' lug will probably have an important
influence on the result of Saturday's
i game. If the team is sure that the
student body is with them they may
I show the tight they are capable of
! against L S. U. Fifty candidates
I for varsity football spend about three
■ hours a day In preparing for the
i games so that the students can sit
In the stands on Saturday and enjoy
the game and. If the players can do
this, surely every loyal Georgia stu
dent who wants to see the Bulldogs
win can spare the time to come out
I at three-thirty Friday afternoon.
Maryland, which could win only
one out of five games with weaker
elevens, rose up and smote Yale.
Was looked upon as a mere practice
game for Eli. Such is the course of
events when one is caught napping
at the switch.
Notre Dame licked the Army.
That was easier to understand, for
we hear that Knute Rockne has a
rule against losing more than two
games in one season. The Irish had
already bowed to Wisconsin and
Georgia Tech. Rockne is said to
have a law against losing to the
same team two years in succession,
and the Army won last year.
An Interesting note: last year
Georgia beat Yale, Yale beat the
Army, Army beat Notre Dame, Notre
Dame beat Tech. But Tech beat
Georgia. This year things are re
versed: Georgia lost to Yale, Yale
lost to the Army, Army lost to Notre
Dame, Notre Dame lo^t to Tech.
Ergo, what right have the Engineers
to believe they can beat Georgia?
Perhaps we are not such a blankety-
blank fool for backing the Bulldogs.
On the other hand, we have failed
to pick a winner in the last 57 con
tests where the odds were more or
less even. We picked Dempsey
against Tunney; we shouted for the
Athletics and Giants; Jones was our
choice against Farrell; we picked
Georgia against Tech in ’27; Smith
against Hoover; Notre Dame against
Tech; Georgia over Yale in '28; etc.,
and so on.
Still, we did predict that Georgia
would win over Mercer and that Tech
might beat Oglethorpe. And we can
keep two jumps ahead of almost any
movie plot any night in the week.
Laugh, clown, laugh.
Georgia was eliminated from the
championship race Saturday. Tech
now holds the limelight, with only
Auburn, Alabama and Georgia be
tween them and another football
crown. No one w-ould give Auburn
a prayer, and Alabama isn’t what
she used to be. So it looks as if
Georgia’s chance to repay Tech in
kind for the championships the latter
has rudely knocked from our hands
with the goal In sight will come on
December 8. That is the Bulldogs’
last chance to make the 1928 season
a success. Why not?

"Bear” Morris’ shoes as a varsity
tackle. Frisbie has still another sea
son to play.
Freshmen Leave
To Play Auburn
The freshman football team leaves
tonight for Columbus where they
play the Auburn rats tomorrow after
noon. The frosh have been show
ing improvement and hope to go
through the rest of the season with
out a defeat.
Sternoff, fullback, is still out be
cause of an Injured knee, and will
probably be unable to play for the
rest of the season.
The following freshmen have
shown up well In practice: Patter
son and Roberts, fullbacks; Chand
ler, Downs, Gaston, Profumo, Turner, j
and James at halfback; Mell, Moran,
and Costa, quarterbacks; Hill, Smith, !
Timmons, and Hamilton, ends; Rose, ^
Lynn and Woodall, tackles; Leath
ers, Matthew, Duncan, Horton, Ben- i
net, and Smith at guard; and Mad
dox. Rader, and Mountford at center. 1
It was certainly an encouraging ,
symptom which was noticed in the j
scrimmage between the Bulldogs j
and the freshmen last Wednesday)
afternoon. Where the funeral rites
had already been said over the bier
of Georgia’s conference hopes, the
spirit which swept over the field as
the traditional Bulldog fight assert-)
ed itself, and the Bullpups were j
thrown back, sat upon, and all im
pertinence toward the varsity knock
ed out of them by the spirited de
fensive work of the second string
line, was enough to cause the most
pessimistic of Red and Black fol
lowers to rejoice. It is not a dis-
I grace to lose a game, and the play
ers have put past performances be
hind and are enthusiastically pre-|
paring to bump L. S. U., Alabama,,
and Tech In a row in the last three
games of the season.
A fine example of the fight exhlb-|
ited by the players, is the case of
Glenn Lautzenhiser, stalwart tackle
and co-captain, who was hurt in
tackling practice Wednesday after
noon. Lautzenhiser was pronounced
out of the L. S. U. game by trainer j
and coach, due to a partial dlsloca- j
tion of his shoulder, but unless he
Is forbidden by Coach Harry Mehre, j
he will be In the thick of the fight.!
"As long as I can stand alone, I can
play football and fight,” declared
Lautzenhiser.
ALLIGATOR JAWS
CRUSH GEIIRGIA
CONFERENCE HOPES
The Alligators of Florida knocked
out all the aspirations for a con
ference championship for the Bull
dogs in the game at Savannah Satur
day. The final score was 26 to 6
and was the worse beating that Geor
gia has received in two years.
The game was a tragedy and it
was a case of a fighting Florida
’Gator getting the jump on a Georgia
Bulldog that couldn’t get going.
Florida defended the south goal
which had a good breeze coming
in behind it. They kicked to Geor
gia and after a couple of vain at
tempts to make first down, and a
weak kick by Georgia, Florida got
the ball and on a criss-cross Red
Bethea ran 31 yards for a touch
down.
The play was all in Georgia’s ter
ritory during the first quarter due
to a certain extent to the strong
wind that blew the kicks back
into the Red and Black part of the
field. In the second half Bobby
Hooks threw a pass to Frank Dudley
and Dudley, receiving it near the
sideline, avoided touching the chalk
and raced over the goal line for
the only Red and Black marker of
the day.
Florida blocked a punt near the
Georgia goal and then Georgia put
