Page Six 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 Win Over Auburn Shattering all records of the pres ent season, Captain Bob Young, Georgia, led his teammates to vic tory over the Auburn Harriers here last Saturday afternoon with a time of 25 minutes and 1 second.

The men In the other places were: second, Talmadge, Georgia; third, Boyd, Georgia; fourth, Teague, Au burn; fifth, Simpson, Georgia; sixth, Duncan, Auburn; seventh. Shanks. Auburn; eighth, Jones, Auburn; ninth, Bennet, Georgia; tenth, Smith, Auburn. 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? BULLDOG TACKLE Theodore Frisbie, who is filling "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 (Continued on page 7) PALACE MONDAY and TUESDAY NEIL HAMILTON “The Shield Of Honor” DEDICATED TO Athens Police Association (Benefit Sick Fund) WEDNESDAY MAY McAVOY CONRAD NAGEL Vitaphone Talking Picture “Caught in the Fog” THURSDAY and FRIDAY JAMES HALL Movietone Special “The Four Sons' (2 Vitaphone Acts) Roger Wolf Kahn’s Band and “Pullman Porters”
