take part in "Beyond the Horizon,”
the Athens Little Theatre Guild play,
to be presented Monday night, No
vember 26, at the Colonial theatre.
Three of these students are to take
the leading roles in the play. The

three roles taken by these students
are generally conceded to be among
the most difficult in the current
productions playing in America.

Mitchell, Thomasville; and Frank
Lester, Montezuma; are to handle
the three leads in the play. Frank
lin Shearouse, Springfield; and
! Ralph Wardlaw, Athens, have the
other two roles taken by University
students. They both play difficult
I character parts and in addition will
double in two of the minor roles.
Mrs. J. J. Strickland, Athens; Miss
I Vera Crook of the Lucy Cobb math-
1 ematics department; and Miss Mary
j Mobley, Athens, play the other roles
in the play.
The play is under the personal
direction of Mrs. Elise Graham,
president of the Athens Little
Theatre Guild. It marks the debut
of the Guild as a play producing
organization.
The play will be given for the
first time on Monday night at eight
o’clock at popular prices and ar
rangements for several other night
presentations in Athens and the sur
rounding towns, as well as a popular
matinee, will be gone into if the

them.

GEORGIA HOPES TO
CONQUER 'RAMA'S
CRIMSON ELEVEN
The battered Bulldogs journey to
Birmingham on Thanksgiving for
their annual embrogllo with the
Crimson Wave of Alabama. Last
year Georgia won a great 20 to 6
victory over Bama and if they repeat
this year it will do much to cheer
the hearts of the Bulldog followers.
Bama played Tech on even terms
for three quarters Saturday after
present ing the Jackets with a touch
down In $iio early part of the game.
The strength of Alabama’s team is
an established fact, but holding Tech
for three quarters is hard on any
team and It is doubtful if the Ala
bama team will be In very good
shape for their game with Georgia
on Thanksgiving.
The injuries which have beset the
Georgians since the early part of the
season have an excellent opportun
ity to mend during the ten days be
tween L. S. U. and Alabama and
with the Georgia team in there well

only McCrary can go Alabama might

won first place in the Tech meet
however, so that gives the Georgia
runners some phase of victory even
