Georgia’s Bulldogs, one of the
outstanding teams in the country,
will play the North Carolina Tar
heels in Chapel Hill Saturday after
noon while the nation looks on in
expectancy.
Just another fine Georgia football
team last Saturday, the Bulldogs
will play North Carolina tomorrow
as one of the natlon’B strongest
teams, the team that many sports
authorities say may be national
champions when the curtain rings
down in December. Georgia, many
experts believe, is the team most ca
pable of taking over the spot occu
pied by Notre Dame until they were
tied Saturday by Northwestern.
Fit and refreshed after a four-
day stay in Athens, the Bulldogs de
parted for North Carolina Thursday
night to the wild acclaim of hun
dreds; of students and Athenians.
Thirty-three men made the trip.
Head Coach Harry Mehre, who has
been away for the past ten days
due to the illness and subsequent
death of his father, will Join the
team in Durham tonight and will
take charge. Backfleld Coach Rex
Enright has been in charge of the
team during Coach Mehre’s absence
and directed the Bulldogs in their
brilliant 26-7 victory over Yale.
Saturday’s game will place the
Bulldogs in their proper position In
Southern conference football. If
they win against North Carolina,
which they are likely to do, there
will be no doubt that tney hold one
of the two outstanding positions in
Southern conference football. Van
