Two pledges were accepted at the

at the Georgian hotel, William
Dooner, Savannah, chancellor of the
chapter, has announced.
"Thunder in the Air,” a romantic
fantasy with an element of mystery,
is to replace "Berkeley Square” as
the first production of the Thalian-
Blackfriars Dramatic club, it was
announced today. The play will
mark the opening of the new Seney-
Stovall Memorial theater during the
second week in December.
Postponement of “Berkeley
Square” until the winter term was
made because two prominent mem
bers of the east were forced through
unforseen circumstances to give up
their roles, according to Edward C.
Crouse, director of the players. It
is planned for production in Febru
ary.
Play in Rehearsal

“Vernon Smith is the greatest
end that ever stepped upon a south
ern gridiron." So writes General
Walter A. Harris, of Macon, in
answering an article in Monday’s
Macon Telegraph by Ed Ray, sports
editor of that paper, concerning the
alleged "failure In the pinch” of
Georgia's great end.
Ray, writing in Monday's Tele
graph, under the caption, “Catfish
Smith fails in big opportunity,” said
that Smith had failed in the biggest
opportunity of his life. "Catfish
Smith, Macon’s contribution to foot
ball. failed in the opportunity of
showing that he was the best end
in the country," he wrote. "His play
was outstripped not only by Tulane's
great Dalrymple, but even by the
Green Wave’s other end, “Lefty”
I Haynes. The Green wave engulfed
him as they would have any other
ordinary end. Everyone expected
the sensational, but Smith did not
come through.”

Riilldogn to Throw Caution
To the Winds in Game
Saturday Afternoon
Released from the mental tension
of being a "team of destiny" the
Georgia Bulldogs, who now can go
in and play the slashing, devil-may-
care sort of football that hus made
them one of the most colorful grid
iron aggregations in the nation, will
leave today at 8:30 a. m. for Colum
bus, there to do battle with the Ti
ger of the Plains.
And somehow one feels that now
the Bulldogs, after their defeat by
Tulane, will be a more dangerous
team. No need any more for the
careful pluy that eked out victory
over the Violets, and brought defeut
from Tulane. Dash and recklessness,
and the chance-taking that brings
glorious victory, or excusable de
feat will be theirs from now on.
ItiilldogN Will Gamble
The spectator at the remainder of
the Bulldogs contests will see the
football that he dreams about, the
gambling, slashing sort rtf play that
brings the stands to its feet.
Gone should be the carefulness,
the too-careful weighing of odds, the
conservatism. Now there Is noth
ing to lose, now Is the time that
they will pluy the sort of footbull
that they love.
Out of the old war-bag will come
the long-chance plays; the spinners,
the sneaks, the delayed bucks, all
the repertoire of ecintlllant forma
tions, that when perfectly executed,
makes for the color, the verve and.
to borrow Old Timer's phrase, the
elan, that is the soul of the modern
game.
Bulldogs to Ho Greater
And somehow, it is to be believed
that this loosening of the mental
tautness is going to result in mak
ing a great team greater. They have
three more games to play. One is
with Auburn, aiyl woe be unto the
Tiger, for the Bulldog is filled with
a silent wrath after his defeat of
lows: Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, I Saturday. The next is with the tra-
Slgma Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, and dltlonal enemy, the Yellow Jacket

hard to require that teachers have
