Seeking to snap Georgia Tech’s
sensational winning streak, the Bull
dog court team will meet the strong
Yellow Jacket live tomorrow night
in Atlanta in the season's initial
game between these two traditional
rivals.
Following their unimpressive 26
to 14 win over Sewanee Tuesday
night, Georgia will enter Saturday
uight’s fray decidedly the underdogs.
In the Sewanee game Captain Jack
Farren’s charges were held scoreless
for the first 14 minutes of play, and
bad to come from behind to beat
the Tigers.
Tech Spectacular
Tech, with practically a veteran
team back this year, has played a
spectacular brand of ball so far this
season. The Jackets boast victories
over Vanderbilt, Mercer, Alabama,
and N. C. State. The latter team
defeated Georgia earlier in the sea
son in a close game at Athens.
The Bulldogs, on the other hand,
have been hard to figure. After
squeezing out an extra-period vic
tory over South Carolina in the sea
son’s opener, they dropped a hard-
fought battle to the strong N. C.
State club, then came back in their
next game to down the previously
unbeaten Clemson Tigers. After
splitting a pair of hard-fought games
with Florida, Georgia took three
straight from Chattanooga, and beat
Sewanee in a single game.
Usual Line-up to Start
Coach Frank Johnson will proba-
ly start the usual line-up with Cap
tain Jack Farren at center; Alex
McCaskill and Cecil Kelly, forwards;
and Olin Thompson and Tom Ken
nedy at guards.
Tech’s mentor, Roy Mundorff,
will probably start the game with
the following line-up: Bo Johnston,
center; Ed Jones and Bill Jordan,
forwards; and Fletcher Sims and
Junior Anderson, guards. With the
exception of Johnston, all of these
men were on the Jacket football
squad last tall.
Tech authorities will continue to
follow the policy of admitting only
Tech students to home basketball
games, making no exception for the
Georgia game. All the Jackets’
home games are being played on a
temporary court, and all seats are
reserved for Tech students.
Bulldog Ring Team
Seeks Second Win

Of special interest to all ping
pong sharks is the announcement

and Albert Jones, Blue Key men
in charge.
The entrance fee will be 25

loving cups to winner and runner

Although the intramural basket

themselves as favorites in league
play. Candler Hall, one of the fav
ored quintets, was declared to have
played an ineligible man in the Sig

Barons won, 38 to 18. According

First touches will be applied to
Georgia's 1938 football machine
next week as spring work opens
Monday under the new coaching
staff headed by Joel Hunt, youthful
ex-backfleld mentor at Louisiana
State University.
The Bulldog candidates have been
going through informal workouts
under Weems Baskin, track coach
and trainer, since the first of the
week, but the official drills do not
begin until Monday. Present plans
of Coach Hunt call for work to con
tinue until early March, and there
will probably be more work during
May.

Coach Hunt and his assistants
have, to say the least, plenty of
work to accomplish before next fall.

And now It’s Towns. To think
that after the next two weeks no
more will the track fans of the na
tion be able to read about the feats
of Georgia's most famous athlete.
For there will be no more feats.
''Spec” is retiring from competition.
Not. right away—for starting with
the Millrose games in New York
February 5 the “Georgia Giraffe"
may keep on through the big nation
al Indoor meet—but soon. Boy—
and how the old order changes.
Those order changes haven't ex
actly been gradual either. Bet no
body thought last November that
Harry Mehre would bo head coach at
tho University of Mississippi bv Jan
uary. Hut there he is. the smilin'
gent himself, with a neat three year
contract at a neater figure. And
again that cry so familiar to Geor
gia footballers for the past ton years
-—"be a blocker!”—will ring out on
the old practice Held. We're cer
tainly glad to hear it.
Our prediction that spring foot
ball practice would be a honey is
beginning to look like an under
statement. “At the end of these
daily sessions," proclaimed Coach
Hunt, “I’m going to be Just as tired
as anyone of you fellows.” And
proclaimed Captain Lumpkin, "We’re
starting next year with a clean slate.
We Intend to keep it that way.”
Those intending to get tickets for
next year’s Rose Rowl classic had
better start contacting alumni now.
Wish that the Techs would get a
bigger place to play their basket
ball games In. That game tomorrow
night might be well worth seeing.
Wonder where One-eye Connolly
makes his hangout now.

The University of Georgia boxing
team will seek its second win of
the week Saturday night when it
faces a strong Citadel team in the
first home bout of the year.
The match promises to be one of
the best on the Georgia scnedule,
as the Citadel team is rated as one
of the most powerful in the coun
try. The South Carolina team is
composed of veterans that last year
won considerable recognition by vir
tue of a win over the West Point
cadets.
The Georgia team, although lack
ing in experience, promises to offer
stiff opposition for the Citadel mitt-
men. Coach Jones said that the
team was well balanced and scrappy
and would be in good shape for the
match. Red Milton, heavyweight
captain of the team, who was lost
to the squad due to an injury the
first of the season will be ready, it
was also announced.
The Bulldog figbterB won their
first match of the season by defeat
ing Presbyterian College at Clinton,
■South Carolina, last Wednesday
night by a 5 to 3 count. The out
come of the match was decided by
four forfeits on the part of the South
Carolina team.
On Monday night a second home
bout will bring the Clemson Tigers
to Athens. The Tigers hold one vic
tory over this year’s Georgia squad
and the Bulldogs will seek to even
the count here Monday night.
The bouts will start at 7:30 and
will be held at Woodruff Hall.

Fordham was the high scorer in the
first fray with 8 markers while Bil
ly Mims claimed the second game
honors with 17 points. Old College
took a close battle from Joe Brown,
to 19, with the newly signed pro
fessional baseball player, John Ruck
er, starring with 10 markers to his
credit.
With the former all GIAA player,
Billy Woodall, running up 11 points,
llgma Nu easily defeated Delta Tau
Delta, 28 to 11. Candler Hall, minus
the services of Bill Miles, swamped
Kappa Sigma, 28 to 12, to remain
undefeated among the league stal
warts. Horace Williams was the
sparkplug of the "Baron’s” offense
with 8 markers.
Wednesday’s play was distinguish-
d by the nip-and-tuck battle between
BAB and ALT, with the lead con
stantly changing between the two
teams. Behind the fine shooting of
Jeff Cain, the ALT’S took the lead
in the final seconds and won the fray,
21 to 19. Other results saw ATO
win over Chi Psi, 18 to 6, and Pi
K. A. down the Phi Delta Thetas,
38 to 25. Charles Wiedemeyer, with
16 points, was high scorer for the
winners.
In “X” Club bowling play, S. A. E.
and K. A. remained undefeated by
turning in victories over Pi K. A.
and Pi Kappa Phi, respectively. Be
cause of a late start, the teams in
the Blue Key circuit have not played
their second round matches yet.
Director F. H. Frost requested
that all organizations contemplat
ing entering soccer and billiards
competition sign up immediately in
order that playing schedules may be
worked out. Teams may sign for the
goal-shooting contest, “21,” at any
time, Frost said.
Final practices for women’s intra
mural basketball were completed
this week, and the first scheduled
game will be played in the Physical
Education gym Tuesday afternoon
at 4:30.

Match With ’Bama

Sergeant J. P. Holloman express
ed disappointment with the score of
the team in the telegraphic match
against Alabama and UCLA when
the total score for the Bulldogs was
3,580 points for the ten men, show
ing an average individual score of
358 out of a possible 400. Oppon
ent's scores have not yet been re
ceived.
Boxing Fued Over
at Georgia under Harry Mehre, but
Hunt has pointed out that there
should be no great difficulty result
ing from such a change.
"The chief problem we face,”
commented Hunt, “is to become ac
quainted with the players, and to
learn the ability of each man. We
are almost completely in the dark
in regard to the squad, but that ob
stacle should be overcome within
several weeks.
12 Lettcrmon Graduate
"I am counting heavily of Captain
Quinton Lumpkin to be the connect
ing link between the coaches and tho
players. I have been very Impressed
with all reports on Quinton, and all
indications are that he will make an
ideal leader.”
At least 12 lettermen on the '37
squad will not be back for service.
This group is composed of Buddy
Milner at center, Pete Tinsley and
Walter Troutman at guards, Tommy
Haygood and John Davis at tackles,
Alternate Captain Otis Maffett and
