The Georgia-Tech name, or ax It

only gnino left on the schedule Is
the clash with Tech. And In this
game lies Georgia's enccess or fail

Tech's marvelous record Is old

Yellow Jackets have not lost a game
and that both Notre Dame and Van-

that they have a good football team,

no other sports event carded, and

GEORGIA BEATEN
IN CLOSE GAME
BT L. S. II. TIGERS
Frosh Trounce
Auburn Rats, 39-6
The Georgia Bullpups won their
third victory of the season when they
routed the Auburn rats by the score
of 39-fi last Friday in Columbus.
The Auburn Frosh were no match
for the first year men of Georgia,
and except for the first quarter,
when they pushed over a touchdown.
Auburn failed to seriously threaten
the Bed and Black goal line.
Patterson and Profumo, two fresh
men halfbacks who have been giving
tlie varsity defense quite a bit of
exercise in their scrimmages with
the upperclassmen, were the most
consistent gainers of the Georgia
bail carrying contingent. These two
abbreviated backs scored two touch
down apiece, as they ripped the Au
burn rat line to shreds. Chandler,
freshman fullback, also showed up
well with his line-plunging perform
ance and made one to the total of
six touchdowns registered against
the oposing frosh. Costa, quarter
back, scored the other touchdown.
Vernon Smith, stellar end for the
freshman, sustained a broken finger
early in the contest, and had to give
way to the substitution of Simms,
who put up a brilliant defensive
game for the rest of the fracas.
Tills victory over the strong Au
burn team raises the stock of the
Bed and Black frosh and creates
more interest over their coming
games with the Alabama and Tech
freshmen. Both Alabama and Tech

The Georgia Bulldogs tasted de
feat for the second time in two weeks
Saturday when the Tigers of L. S. U.
eked out a one point victory. The
score was thirteen to twelve. This
was the fourth time since the war
that Georgia has been defeated on
Sanford field, Furman, Virginia,
Vandy, and L. S'. U. beating the Bull
dogs on their own field in that length
of time.
Georgia got off to a good start
and scored in the first few minutes.
Joe Martin recovered Beeves' fum
bled punt and after an end run by
Bobby Hooks and a couple of line
plays had gotten the Bed and Black
team in scoring distance and it was
last down, Hooks heaved a pass to
Bothstein and he took it across for
touchdown number one.
The boys from the Bayous got
busy next and after some hard driv
ing and a long pass got the ball to
Georgia's fifteen yard line and from
here Beeves and Brown took it over
in three plays. Neither side kicked
goal and the score was six and six.
Next the Bulldogs got hot and
after a drive up the field another
pass to Bothstein netted Georgia’s
last score. Johnson failed to boot
the extra point and there lies the
tale of Georgia’s defeat by L. S. U.
one measly little point.
The game rocked along with this
score for the balance of the first halt
and through the third quarter with
Georgia enjoying a six point lead and
the team playing good football. L.
S. U. could not gain with any con
sistency through the Bed and Black
line and the Bulldog crew were play
ing for the most part a clefensive
game.
Early in the fourth quarter the
spell broke and bad luck happened.
The ball was in Georgia’s territory
and Bobby Hooks dropped back to
pass. The L. S. U. line was rushing
him furiously and he didn't have
time to pick his man and he had to
throw it hurriedly. Beeves, L. S. U.

heavy defeats administered last sea

As the first step in the creation
of a polo team at the University, ap
proximately twenty students in the
sophomore, junior, and senior classes

newly-arrived instructor, on Wednes
