NUMBER 5.
Bulldogs Face
Auburn Team
In Fifth Game
Squad Leaves Athens This
Afternoon for Columbus
Battle; Plainsmen Favored
Showing definite signs of improve
ment but still harrassed by numer
ous. injuries, Harry Mehre led his
Bulldog grid machine toward Colum
bus today for Georgia’s 41st meeting
with Alabama Poly Saturday after
noon.
As the Georgians embarked for
the battle site, the opening Bulldog
line-up was indefinite as Coach
Mehre and his corps of assistants
pondered over the condition of sev
eral regular performers.
Although beaten, Georgia’s show
ing against Rice here last week,
termed by the Bulldog head mentor
as “our best performance so far
this season,” seems to indicate that
better days are ahead for the red
and black edition.
Georgia Outgnins Rice
First down figures in the Rice
fray were decidedly in favor of Geor
gia, and total yardage gained also
indicated the strength of the Bull
dogs. Only in the final score was
Georgia short of victory.
Opposing the Georgia eleven at
the kick-off Saturday will be one of
Dixie”s most highly respected grid
iron powers, fresh from an impres
sive inter-sectional triumph over De
troit University In Detroit last Sat
urday.
Despite one of the hardest sched
ules ever faced by a southern foot
ball team, reports from Auburn in
dicate the Plainsmen will enter Sat
urday’s battle in decidedly better
shape than Georgia’s Mehremen.
While the Bulldog ranks were slash
ed by several injuries against Rice,"
the Auburn team escaped the Detroit
bout with the usual bruises and mi
nor mishaps.
Gilbert Leads Auburn
Auburn should feel the effects of
the Detroit invasion against the
Bulldogs, but general opinion of
sports fandom is that the Plains
men squad should prove too strong
for Georgia. Should the Bulldogs
continue to show improvement, how
ever, they stand a chance of coming
through with a great game that may
catch their opponents by surprise.
Either way, all parties agree the
score will be plenty close.
The spearhead of the hefty Au
burn line will be Walter Gilbert, All-
Southeastern pivot performer last
year and one of the country’s most
polished snapper-backs. Against the
seasoned Auburn center, Georgia will
match Sophomore Quinton Lumpkin,
who seems to be improving every
week and turned in a great game
against Rice.
Another Hitchcock
Jimmy Hitchcock, Auburn All-
American halfback a few years ago,
is remembered with high respect by
Georgians, and it may be another
Hitchcock—his younger brother,
Billy, this time—who will fill the
Bulldog followers with grief this
year. The Plainsmen’s current Hitch
cock ace is the key-note in the de
vastating backfield, and will be a
hard man to halt.
Coach Mehre may start a line-up
including three sophomores against
the Plainsmen Saturday. Lumpkin
is a certainty at center, and Harry
Stevens, halfback, and Bill Badgett,
tackle, may draw opening berths.
Supporting Lumpkin in the center
of the Georgia forward wall will

Led by Georgia’s colorful band,
women seniors, carrying light canes
gaily bedecked with red and black
ribbons, and men wearing derbies
and swinging heavier canes will pa
rade between the halves of the Geor-
gia-Tennessee Homecoming game
here Oct. 31, according to plans an
nounced by Robert Anderson, presi
dent of the senior class.
For the first time this year wo
men of the graduating class come in
to their own by actually taking part
in the parade which has previously
been “for men only.” In 1934 wo
men students took part in a parade
through the town of Athens on the
morning of the Georgia-North Caro
lina Homecoming game along with
the whole student body, but did not
take part in the traditional cane and
derby parade.
The custom of seniors wearing der
bies and carrying canes originated a
few years after the Homecoming
Day was begun in 1922. A crowd
of 10,000 attended the first
Homecoming—-the Genrgla-Vander-
bilt game and although "dear ole
Georgia" lost the game's new custom
had been established.
Gay decorations, open houses,
bands playing, alumni handshaking
and jostling crowds all go to make
up Athens’ most colorful and vivid
day—Homecoming.
