Two Wins Over Tech Would
Put Georgia in Second
Place in League
Closing their home season against
Georgia Tech in Atlanta, the Geor
gia Bulldogs are in the Gate City
today awaiting the starting gong of
their last series of the season with
their traditional enemy.
With a chance to take second
place in the Dixie College league the
Bulldogs will battle Tech for the
1931 series. By winning today and
Saturday the Bulldogs not only would
make hold on second place secure
but would earn a three to one ver
dict over the Yellow Jackets in their
annual series.
Tied For Second
Two straight victories over Ogle
thorpe early this week gave the Bull
dogs a tie for second place with
Oglethorpe and Florida. Each team
has won nine games and lost nine
for an even .500. The Auburn Tig
ers cinched the Dixie league pen
nant by defeating Florida last week.
If the Bulldogs take both games
of the 'Tech series it will be the
third straight year they have taken
the series from the Jackets. Geor
gia won three in 1929, while losing
one, and last season the Bulldogs
defeated the Jackets in three straight
games. The fourtty game of the
series was cancelled on account of
inclement weather.
Series Divided Now
Georgia won one game of the
series and lost the other to Tech
two weeks ago in Athens. The Bull
dogs batted heavy and late and
bunched their hits x to defeat the
hard hitting Tech team, given bet
ter than an even break to take the
series. Spurgeon Chandler hurled
good ball the second game of the
series only to lone when his mates
failed to hit when hits meant runs.
The Georgia team left here early
Thursday night for Atlanta and is
quartered in an Atlanta hotel during
the series.
Frosh Nine Wins
Over Tech Team
Georgia's freshman team defeated
the Georgia Tech Baby Jackets in At
lanta Tuesday for their first victory
of the year. The score of the game,
which ended the Bullpup season, was
2-1.
Culberson, Georgia hurler, and
Crum, of Tech, staged a nine inning
hurlers’ duel that gave spectators
a big thrill. Crum was weak at
crucial moments and allowed the
Bullpups a triple and two singles in
the fifth inning to score Georgia’s
only two runs. Culberson held the
Baby Jackets in hand through the
nine inning route and scattered four
hits so well that Tech was able to
score but once, in the sixth.
All-Dixie Baseball Team
To Be Nominated Soon
An all-Dixie league baseball team
will be nominated in Atlanta May
18 following the annual meeting of
coaches and officials. A 1932
schedule and selection of officials
Georgia’s lacrosse team defeated
Georgia Tech here last Friday and
Saturday in two straight games to
win the Southern conference cham
pionship and sweep the annual four-
game series with the Yellow Jackets.
The scores were 9-6, and 4-1.
Winning the conference champion
ship by defeating Tech gave the
Bulldogs their f*fth straight confer
ence title. Under Captain Ira C.
Nicholas lacrosse was inaugurated
at the university five years ago, and
under him the Bulldogs won four
straight conference champiosnhips.
Captain E. W. Godbold assumed the
coaching reins of the team this year
and steered the lacrossers to their
fifth straight conference title.
The Georgia freshmen defeated
the Baby Jackets in Saturday’s
game, 3-1. The Bullpups fought the
Tech freshmen to a 5-5 tie in their
first game Friday afternoon follow
ing the varsity battle. Darkness
halted the game after the two fresh
men teams had battled for three
extra periods.

Atlanta, Ga., May 15.—Over in the
Gate city for the last of the annual
Tech-Georgia baseball series, one
finds two topics of conversation out
side the baseball games between
Tech and Georgia. You're right, Os
wald, likker and the Kentucky Derby.
Bets are going the way of Mate
and Twenty Grand, the two cayuses
who were given the edge before the
Preakness. You'll remember that
Mate won the Preakness and Twenty
Grand finished way back—but still
the Grand horse is given the lowest
odds by the bookies, who should
know. Georgia students in Atlanta
for the Tech games have been
placing their money on Twenty-
Grand—that name suggests some
thing.
No Bets for Af
As for your battle-scarred corre
spondent, there is no more betting.
The last time we bet on a horse race
our horse was left at the barrier, got
out in front after so long a time
and broke a leg three feet from the
finish line. And we also turned
down a chance to wager ten dollars
on a hundred-to-one shot last sum
mer. The unfortunate part about
the hundred-to-one shot was that the
horse won.
Elk-W. C. T. U. Affair
The biggest laugh of the week—
and they're still laughing here—is
the resolution passed by the W. C.
T. U. convention in Athens this week
condemning the Elks’ convention be
cause the “Elks drank so much they
set a bad example for the young col
lege students." Ho! Hum! these
old folks!
A Good Man and A' That
Georgia supporters next year will
miss the slender figure of Cliff Mc-
! Gaughey out at shortstop for the
Bulldogs. The Georgia captain Is
playing in his last college series this
! week-end, and when they hang up
I the old uniforms Saturday “Mac” will
take his home in his suit-case—a
parting gift from the university.
McGaughey, In our opinion, is the
I best shortstop to cavort on Sanford
| field during the two years that we
have been watching the Bulldogs play
j play in everything from baseball to
i tennis. Always in there with the
"old fight,” McGaughey Is our man
if we were making up a good baseball
team. He should be All-Dixie league
shortstop. Incidentally.
Tate Also Finishes
Carter Tate, varsity catcher, is the
only other Bulldog to finish his col-
; legiate career this season. Tate has
| been out for the past three weeks
with a badly injured finger and will
watch the Tech series from the side
lines. Tate was going good at the
i beginning of the season and had
, just hit his stride when injury re
moved him in mid-season.
Here at Georgia headquarters
! they're figuring on the Bulldogs
j taking both games of the current
series—something hard to do against
the Jacket nine. By pulling the
I trick the Bulldogs would finish in
second place In the Dixie league,
which is not a bad beginning.
Our pick Is the Bulldogs, but save
enough for carfare home.
Taking two straight games from
the Oglethorpe Petrels at Sanford
field Monday and Tuesday the Geor
gia Bulldogs moved into a tie for
second place in the Dixie college
league with a percentage of .500. The
scores were 11-6 and 1-.
Jimmy Nicholson, Georgia hurler,
and Ray Walker, ace of the Petrel
staff, staged a hurler’s duel in the
second game Tuesday tha(t ended
when Homer Key scored the only run
of the day in the eighth inning.
Nicholson had a slight edge In the
hurling, and pulled out of holes in
four innings with men perched on
the paths.
Key Scores on Bunt
Key singled to open the eighth
and stole second on the first ball
pitched to Captain Cliff McGaughey.
McGaughey's high fly to deep center
was enough to send Key scambering
down to third base. Austie Dqwns’
bunt along the first base line was
good for a hit and Key came homo
with the winning run.
Georgia staged a seventh Inning
rally in the first game Monday that
netted them seven runs and the ball
game as the Petrels were able to get
but six runs in their nine Innings at
hat against Spurgeon Chandler, Geor
gia veteran. Chandler allowed Ogle
thorpe but seven hits while his mates
were getting ten hits off three Petrel
hurlers.
Petrels Get Early Lend
The Petrels led the Bulldogs, 5-3,
until the seventh Inning rolled
around. Oglethorpe scored one run
in the first inning, two more in the
I fourth and one each in the fifth
and sixth. The Petrels scored their
final run in the ninth Inning.
Georgia annexed three runs in the
fifth inning after Mitchell, Ogle-
tnorpe’s sturflng pitcher, had struck
out ten men In the first four innings.
Georgia added its final run In the
eighth inning.
