AH students are expected to be
at tin* Central of Georgia railroad
station tonight at (t:;IO to send the
football team olf to Jacksonville
for the (icorgia-Florida game to
morrow, P. ,1. Hudson, Hapeville,
announced this morning.
By Howard Clisliam
Bruised and battered—and a lit
tle chastened by that still-smarting
32-0 defeat by Tennessee—but wiser
and plenty determined, Georgia’s
football team leaves for Jacksonville
tonight to play Josh Cody’s sudden-
ly-formidable Florida ’Gators.
“Stop those passes” is the new
war-cry of the Bulldogs. Three mis
takes in pass defense cost three
touchdowns last Saturday, and Flor
ida is said to have a passing attack
as good the Volunteers’. All week
Coach Harry Mehre has been drilling
his sophomore backs in the art of
knocking them down. Experience
is all that is needed—every back
on the team is fast enough, most
are tall enough. And it looks as
though the experience will be gained
in a hurry.
Mayberry Stars
An innovation was started against
Tennessee. In spite of the showing
of the team as a whole, Coach Mehre
still likes a five man line.
“The set-up was new,” comment
ed Mehre, “and the boys naturally
committed some errors. But I think
it will work with practice, and we
will use it occasionally.”
Florida has lost all four of its
major games so far, but has lost no
prestige in doing it. The 'Gators
have outplayed every team they have
met, with the exception of L. S. U.,
and they have played some tough
foes. Coach Cody has good material
this year, and capable reserves.
Walter Mayberry leads the team.
He is a genuine triple threat, has
been the individual star of every
game his team has played, and is
almost a sure shot for an All-South
eastern berth. Frank Koscis, 197-
pound junior guard is one of the
main reasons why teams don’t score
much on the ’Gators. And in Moon
Mullins and “Red” McGhee, Cody
has two plunging fullbacks who are
rough on any opposing line.
Injuries Hurt Georgia
The Florida team is heavy too.
The hackfleld average is 177 pounds,
the line average 192. And only
two sophomores, the two tackles, are
in the starting line-up, which means
an experienced team. In no depart
ment of the game do the Bulldogs
look to be superior, which doesn’t
mean a thing after the whistle blows.
For Georgia, with no position un
affected by Injury of some sort, the
starting iine-up is problematical
Jim Cavan at left half, if he Is in
shape, is favored to get the starting
call. The same applies to Tommy
Haygood, veteran tackle who has
seen little service this year because
of a bad knee. “Spec” Towns, due
to Otis Maffett’s doubtful shape, may
start at end.
Captain Bill Hartman is the only
cinch starter. Hartman is in better
shape than he has been In for two
weeks.

Pioneers, Demosthenians Resume Feud
Iu Praising and Denouncing First Lady
By Phillips, Hixon, Crabb
Pioneer Inner Circle blazed new
trails along the path of forensic
glory Wednesday night when they
swapped oratorical blasts with an
cient Demosthenian in their fifth an
nual inter-society encounter, debat
ing the affirmative of “Resolved:
That Mrs. Roosevelt is an Ideal First
Lady.”
The sacred halls of Demosthenian
resounded with applause as the dig
nity of the 136-year old organization
was shaken by the wit and ardor of
the fair invaders, who 'let loose with
all their feminine forces to praise
the high qualities of the First Lady.
Sarah Payne, Athens, and Kennon
Henderson, Carrollton, upheld the
affirmative for the Pioneer Inner
Circle, while Golbert Hawkins, Mon
roe and Major David S. Walker,
Griffin, represented Demosthenian.
Sarah Payne, Athens, opposing for
the Pioneer Club, termed Mrs.
Roosevelt a modern example of those
pioneer women who built from a land
of wilderness, and pointed out her
invaluable aid to the president in
the administration of his duties. She
described the First Lady as “alive,
curious, and actingly humanitarian.”
A burst of applause greeted Col
bert Hawkins, Monroe, former pres
ident of Demosthenian, as he rose
to tell the society that "Mrs. Roose
velt is the greatest handicap of the
president,” and suggested that she
“confine her speeches to the sewing
circle and the garden clubs, and her
writings to the Ladies Home Jour
nal.”
Pleading for the “home life” of
the White House, Hawkins said the
president should remove Mrs. Roose
velt from the circle of politics and
place her in the atmosphere of pots
and pans.
With her ardor dampened not the
slightest by Walker’s verbal volley,
Kennon Henderson, “forensic god
dess of the campus Greeks,” arose to
defend for Pioneer Inner Circle the
rights of the First Lady of the
Land, whom she called “the ideal of
a democratic nation.”
Henderson defended Mrs. Roose
velt’s “looks” with her smart ap
pearance and told Demosthenians,

Issue Statement Again*!
Painting
Defacement of state property
through painting activities by Geor
gia and Tech students was condemn
ed in a statement made to The Red
and Black yesterday by six leaders
on the University campus.
Men signing the declaration in
clude Monk Arnold, Atlanta, vice
president of the Pan-Hellenic Coun
cil; Clark Gaines, Hartwell, president
of the senior class; Bill Hartman,
Milledgeville, captain of the football
team; Perry J. Hudson, Hapeville,
campus leader; Pete Latimer, Atlan
ta, president of the Pan-Hellenic
Council, and Dyar Massey, editor of
The Red and Black.
Emphasizing the futile destruc
tion of property caused by the paint
ing of school colors on the rival’s
campus, the statement reads as fol
lows:
Both liOse
“The recent painting activities car
ried on by Georgia and Tech stu
dents can prove of no benefit for
either group. This is certainly one
contest In which neither institution
is the winner—both inevitably lose.
"Such occurrences bring no worthy
distinction to those few students
who paint school colors on the riv
al’s campus and In the long run give
both institutions a “black eye” as
far ns citizens of the state are con
cerned.
“The University administration is
definitely opposed to such action.
Students caught painting at Tech
place themselves In a dangerous posi
tion and are liable to disciplinary
action on the University’s part.
“Inasmuch as such activities are
defacing and damaging state proper
ty, the Board of Regents Is ready to
protect, the interests of both institu
tions by whatever action necessary.
Further painting is not likely to bo
tolerated by this body.
Work of Minorities
"The concensus of opinion of stu
dents at Tech is against such paint
ing and s*eps are being taken by
leaders of all student organizations
under direction of the Student Coun
cil to halt further visitations to the
University by Tech students.
“This painting definitely represents
the work of a small minority of the
students who in no wise should con
tinue to damage public property and
endanger the reputation of the two
institutions. These activities are un
necessary and should be stopped vol
untarily by the students.
“We In no manner wish to detract
from the rivalry existing between the
two institutions, but sincerely feel
that this should not be carried to the
extent of damaging property.”

standing of the Sunday co-recrea-
