Homecoming Week-end Will Open
With Pan-Hellenic Dance Tonight;
Bulldogs to Encounter l Ols Saturday
Georgia-Tennessee Gridiron
Gash Begins at 3 O'clock
With 20,000 Crowd Ex
pected
Facing the Vols for the first time
since 1925, Georgia’s steadily-im
proving Bulldogs will tackle Major
Bob Neyland’s 1936 University of
Tennessee edition at Sanford Sta
dium Saturday afternoon as the diz
ziest football season in recent his
tory starts down the home stretch.
Saturday’s Georgia-Tennessee kick
off is scheduled for 3 o’clock.
A series of Homecoming festivals
over the week-end, featuring four
Pan-Hellenic dances, will aid in mak
ing Saturday’s attendance figures the
largest of the Bulldog home season
thus far, and may swell the show to
the neighborhood of 20,000.
Vols Tumble Buko
Although Georgia rose to great
heights before bowing to Auburn,
20 to 13, it was the Tennessee eleven
which copped the headlines in last
week’s football card with a startling
upset victory over Wallace Wade’s
unbeaten Duke Blue Devils, 15 to 13.
J. C. Hall is still bothered with
a bad knee, and is definitely out of
the picture as a starter and probably
will ’be kept inactive the entire
game. Bill Hartman, plunging full
back, who has been out for several
weeks with a bad leg, donned full
uniform during practice this week,
but is still in very uncertain shape.
He probably will join Hall in re
maining out of the contest all the
way.
I.uinpkin Proves Worth
Quinton Lumpkin, star sopho
more, is expected to open for the
Bulldogs at center, with Bob Law,
Waynesboro veteran, in line for first
shot at relief duty. Lumpkin has
been one of Mehre’s more valuable
players in recent games, and is liv
ing up to advance dope which brand
ed him as one of the South's out
standing line prospects.

100-Year-Old Chapel Painting Restored;
Remounted After 67 Years in Old Frame
By Albon Hailey
The largest painting in the world,
100 years old and “a magnificent
piece of art” in the words of P. H.
Baumgarten, Chicago art specialist,

setting of the picture, are completed.
For 67 years the 17x23 foot paint
ing of the interior of St. Peters ca
thedral had not
its heavy frame,
versity in 1867, a special addition
was built on to the chapel to accom
modate its huge proportions.
A sag along the bottom indicated
that age combined with the 500-
pound weight of the paint in the pic
ture itself was beginning to destroy
the burlap on which it is painted.
P. H. Baumgarten, one of four per
sons in the United States recognized
Baumgarten said that the painting
was perfect in practically every de
tail and that it is undoubtedly the
largest painting of its kind in the
world.
Mr. Baumgarten has been with
the famous O’Brien art gallery of
Chicago for 35 years, but he says
this is one of the most difficult
restorations he has ever done. He
been moved from j does all the work of restoration him-
Given to the Uni-1 self with preparations of his own
formula. His only helper is his wife.
To lift the painting from its hang
ings required the combined efforts
of 18 men. The picture was laid
out on a flat platform extended out
over the auditorium, and for four
weeks Mr. and Mrs. Baumgarten
worked on the picture on their
hands and knees.
When the heavy frame was re-
as specialists, was called to Athens ! moved from the painting they found
by President Caldwell to set about
the $2,000 task of restoring the pic
ture and remounting it on masonite
boarding, a process which perpet
uates the life of the picture.
Still in Athens Tuesday, Mr.
a large part had been rolled up un
der the frame. Students will see 40
additional square feet next week.
Before the painting could be
moved from the wall it had to be

What Becomes of Our Football Captains?
Careers of Past Grid Leaders Followed
By Mary Davis
What are they doing now—the
University football captains of the
past decade? How many of them
will be back for Homecoming week
end? Once among the most out
standing men on the campus, how
many of them will be recognized If
they do come back?
The football season comes around
again, bringing with it the most col
orful week-end of the fall quarter
on Georgia’s campus—Homecoming.
And with the old grads' return (many
of them who were on the field a few
years ago) one wonders what they
are doing now; if they have contin
ued to be as successful as they were
in college. Being captain of the
team was in itself an honor, and
in addition, six of these captains
were Sphinx men, the highest non
scholastic honor a University man
can receive.
Ralph Thompson, knowD to his
classmates as “Smack,” was captain
in 1925 when he made All-Southern
at right end. Since his graduation
he has worked over a large part of
the United States, in wheat fields, in
a lumber camp in Washington, as an
engineer in Texas oil fields, and on
his farm near Atlanta. He Is now
located in Atlanta, doing forestry
work for the government.
George Morton, 26, is the insur
ance man of the group, working for
the Mutual Life Insurance Company
in Roanoke, Va. Prior to this he
was with Proctor and Gamble.
“Chick" Shiver, who was All-
American end in 1927, Is teacher and
head of the physical education de
partment at Armstrong Junior Col
lege in Savannah.
Glenn Bruce Lautzenhciser and
Charles Jacobson were the first co-
captains Georgia had. They led the
team In 1928, and oddly enough, they
are both located in New Orleans now,
although they represent entirely dif
ferent firms. Lautzenheiser is with
the United Fruit Company, and Ja
cobson holds a position with Stand
ard Brands, Inc.
