Students Registered from 28 States,
4 Foreign Countries, Statistics Reveal
By Norman Chalker
Where do they come from? Speak
ing of the 2,908 students who are
registered at the University this
quarter. Registrar T. W. Reed
wanted to know, so he began check
ing registration cards of them all.
His search revealed that 157 of
the 159 Georgia counties, 28 of the
4 8 states, four foreign countries, and
one outlying possession of the Unit
ed States are represented at the
University.
All Georgia counties, with the ex
ception of Dawson and Echols, are
represented. This group sent a rep
resentation of 2,666. The largest
number comes from Clarke, which
is represented by 361. Fulton runs
a close second with 280 students.
Other Georgia counties with large
representations are Chatham with
69; DeKalb, 47; Franklin, 46; and
Oconee. 4 4.
To form the foreign element of
the campus population, both Ger
many and France send two, and
Italy and Chfna each added one.
Puerto Rico, an outlying possession,
contributes one student to the en
rollment.
Florida sends the largest number
of any other represented state.
Fifty Floridians are registered here.
But the out-of-state enrollment hails
! all the way from Maine to New
Mexico.
The 27 states other than Georgia
| represented send a total of 235 stu-
) dents. The states and their repre
sentations are Alabama, 9; Arkan
sas, 1; Connecticut, 14; Florida, 50;
Illinois, 6; Kentucky, 2; Louisiana,
4; Maine, 1; Maryland, 5; Massa
chusetts, 7; Michigan, 2; Minnesota,
3; Mississippi, 3; Missouri, 1; New
Hampshire, 2; New Jersey, 12; New
Mexico, 1; New York, 28; North Car
olina, 12; Ohio, 3; Oklahoma, 3;
Pennsylvania, 10; South Carolina,
24; Tennessee, 19; Texas, 4; Vir
ginia, 8, and Vermont, 1.
Registrar Reed likes to putter
about with figures, especially if they
happen to concern registration at
Georgia. He has found out that
counties of Georgia that border Ten-

Bulldogs To Try Comeback
Against ’Gators in Annual
Game Saturday
Mauled by Tennessee’s Volunteers
to a 46-0 tune in Sanford Stadium
last week, Georgia’s football squad
will depart tonight by train for Jack
sonville to meet Florida Saturday
with the hope that its troubles have
found a “wet grave” in Memorial
Hall pool.
Weakened by constant injuries of
numerous key performers, and mired
in a prolonged losing streak, the
Bulldog players this week gave all
student managers a bath, clothes and
all, in the swimming pool as they
leaned to "lady luck” to steer then)
back on the victory path in the an
nual ’Gator classic.
One encouraging point around the
Georgia camp is the fact that in
jured men seem to be recovering a
little faster than they are being in
jured, and it may be that the old
injury Jinx is on its way out.
The Bulldogs could use full
strength against Josh Cody’s surpris
ing ’Gator eleven Saturday in Jack
sonville, but several regulars will
still be on the bench, including Glenn
Johnson, Ward Holland, Roy Gatch-
ell, and perhaps Tommy Haygood
and Walter Troutman.
Hartman Recovered
But the return of Bill Hartman,
fullback, seems to offset all other
injuries. For the past several weeks
Hartman has been watching the Bull
dogs perform from a seat on the side
lines, but he will be in there Satur
day. Hartman suffered a broken
blood vessel in his leg early in the
season, and has been a long time
recovering from the leg Injury, and
a sprained arch which followed.
Andy Roddenberry, signal-barker
who along with Hartman played first
string ball early in the year, is also
in good shape after being bothered
with bad ankles, and will come in
for his share of the quarterback
duties in Jacksonville. Alf Anderson,
halfback who missed the Tennessee
game, is another of the Bulldog
cripples ready to go.
In the line the return of J. C.
Hall, veteran varsity guard and co
captain, Is the number one bright
spot. Hall suffered an injured knee
early in the year, re-injured it against
Auburn, and was out when the Vols
played here last week. But his trou
bles seem to have gone, and he will
be ready to take his post along side
of Harry Harman.
After holding Kentucky to a one-
touchdown score, the Florida aggre
gation has been rounding into form
in double time, and last week served
notice to the Bulldogs by trouncing
a highly favored Maryland edition,
7 to 6. Josh Cody should get credit
for doing one of the best coaching
Jobs in the Southeastern conference
this Beason, and his ’Gators will enter
Saturday’s battle on at least even
terms with Harry Mehre’s Bulldog
clan.
20,04)0 Spectator* Expected
Around 20,000 spectators are ex
pected to jam the Jacksonville sta
dium for the annual meeting between
Georgia and Florida.
Quinton Lumpkin is again listed
as Georgia’s probable starting cent
er, and will be flanked by Harman
and Hall. With Haygood In doubt
ful shape, John Davis is expected to
team with Bill Badgett at the start
ing tackle berths, while Otis Maffett
and Forrest Towns are to open at
the flank positions.
With Lew Young having trouble
with a bad ankle, there is a likely
chance that Roddenberry may open
I at quarterback, with the halfback
I berths being between Harry Stevens,
| Jim Cavan, Paul Causey, and Ander
son. Hartman may start at fullback,
with Maurice Green ready for relief
I service.
Alumni to Honor Cnldicell
At Piedmont Driving Club
President Harmon W. Caldwell
| will be honored at an informal din
ner at the Piedmont Driving Club
in Atlanta Tuesday night by the At-
i lanta Alumni Association of the Uni
versity, H. B. Troutman, president
of the group, said.
After the dinner Dr. Caldwell will
explain recent developments at the
University, including the new build
ing program and plans for the fu
ture.

*Coin Tosser Who Prophesied Victory
For London Says System Is Still Good
By Luke fircone
While the nation celebrated one
of the greatest Democratic land
slides In history Wedpesday. Pope R.
Hill, professor of mathematics, said
that the reliability of his peculiar
"X” system, by which he predicted
a Landon victory, was little affected.
Prior to the election Professor
j Hill had declared that the odds were
10 to 1 that Landon would be the
1 next president of the United States.
His prediction was based upon a
j system worked out by himself and
] involving thousands of calculations.
Wednesday the authority on the
I theory of probability still Insisted
j that "according to the available in-
I formation.” the odds were 10 to 1
in favor of Landon.
"My system still has a batting av
erage of .800,” he said, explaining
that it had been applied to four pre
vious elections with successful re
sults. The elections referred to were
those in 1916, 1920. 1928, and 1932.
“Many people seem to think that
because Landon was not elected
there Is nothing to my system.” he
continued. “But as a matter of fact,
If it were supposed to hit every time,
the pdds would not be 10 to 1 but
probably 9 million to 1, because you
must expect it to miss one time out
of 11.”
Professor Hill pointed out that his
prophecy had about the same
strength as an ordinary weather pre
diction, and that you would certain
ly not expect the weather man to be
correct 365 times during a year.
The mathematician emphasized the
fact that the conditions this year
were very unusual, declaring that
the large registration of voters would
ordinarily indicate the people were
getting ready to oust the party in
power, but that just the opposite
happened in this election.
Wilfred J. Funk, editor of the Lit
erary Digest, which conducted a poll
forecasting the election of Governor
Landon. said Wednesday that he was
“astounded” at the Roosevelt land
slide. The Digest had been correct
In its prediction of three previous
elections.
