Fminent Guest* Expected for
Game; Wave Favored by
Slight Margin
Georgia and Tulane, two of the
nation's outstanding undefeated
teams, will clash at Sanford field
here Saturday afternoon before a
crowd that is expected to reach 30,-
000. The game will begin at 3 p. m.
With a Southern conference
championship, possibly a national
title, hanging in the balance, the
Bulldogs and the Green Wave will
put on their act before the largest
crowd that Sanford stadium has had
since the Dedication game witli
Yale in 1929. The crowd may even
pans the record set by the Yule
game.
One to be ( iiainpioii
Should Tennessee lost to Vander
bilt tomorrow, then the winner of
the Georgia-Tulane game would be
almost certain to acquire the South
ern conference championship when
the final returns arc made. A tie
would eliminate both Tulane and
Georgia, if Tennessee wins.
Tulane is favored by a majority
of the experts to win Saturday.
Mlicit more powerful than the team
that defeated Georgia 25-0, in 1930,
the Green Wave has the further ad
vantages of a somewhat easy sche
dule. Tulane bus played but one
hard rootbnll game this season and
that was against Vanderbilt. The
Wave won, 19-0.
Georgia, the experts say, lias had
too hard a schedule to bo able to
reach the peak necessary to beat
Tulane. Also, the experts say,
Georgia left too much at the Yunkee
stadium last Saturday when New
York university was burely beaten,
7-6.
Tulane Favorite
If Georgia is in good mental and
physical condition at kick-off time
Saturday, there is no doubt who will
win. The Georgia team that beat
Yule and North Carolina early In the
season could take Tulane, but a
tired Georgia team might not fare
so well. Georgia should win, but
