Bulldogs Seek to Avenge ’37
Defeat in Annual Florida j
Game
By Jack Dorsey
Seeking to erase the memory of
last year’s 6-0 defeat, Georgia’s
Bulldogs entrain tonight for Jack
sonville, Fla., where they will bat
tle Florida in Fairfield Stadium Sat
urday afternoon at 3 o’clock.
Coach Joel Hunt’s Bulldogs, who
have seen no action since they were
toppled from the undefeated ranks
by Holy Cross two weeks ago, will
be favored in their Southeastern
Conference debut against the 'Gators.
However, Florida always points for
the Georgia game, and is expected
to give the Bulldogs plenty of trou
ble.
'Gators Having Bad Season
Coach Josh Cody’s luckless ’Gators
have had a disastrous season so far,
and an upset win over Georgia would
go far towards pacifying disgrunted
alumni, who are already calling for
a coaching shake-up. The Floridians
have lost to Stetson, Mississippi
State, Miami, and Boston College,
with only unimpressive victories
over Sewanee and Tampa to their
credit.
With the exception of Bob Salis
bury and Earl Hise, the Bulldogs are
in top physical condition. Salisbury
is suffering from an injured chest
and shoulder, while Hise is still trou
bled with the charley-horse that kept
him out of the Holy Cross battle.
Both ailing players, however, will
probaby be able to see action if
needed. Bobby Nowell, sophomore
star, is expected to start at Salis
bury’s blocking back position.
Coach Cody has juggled his line
up somewhat since Boston College
trounced the ’Gators 33-0 last Satur
day. Jimmy Oxford, captain and
star center, has been shifted to the
blocking back post in an effort to
bolster the Orange and Blue Back
field.
Goff Is Outstanding
Clark Goff, gigantic tackle who
tips the scales at 220 pounds, is
probably the outstanding man in
Florida’s line. Julius Battista and
Frank Kocsis at guards, Gordon
Gardner at the other tackle post,
and Tom Walker and Ray Horner
at ends, complete a forward wall
that averages over 200 pounds. Bud
Walton, triple threat halfback, and
James Mulcahy, fullback, are capable
of giving the Bulldogs trouble.
Coach Hunt is expected to use his
regular starting line-up against the
’Gators Saturday, with the exception
of Nowell replacing Salisbury.
Georgia's probable line-up will be
Carrol Thomas and Marvin Gilles
pie, ends; Bill Badgett and Charlie
Williams, tackles; Howard Johnson
and Winston Hodgson, guards; Cap
tain Quinton Lumpkin, center, and
Harry Stevens, Vassa Cate, Nowell
and Jimmy Fordham in the back-
field.

coming Football Game
For the first time in history, Geor
gia will have an official mascot when
the football team takes the field, for
Homecoming game against Tech on
Nov. 26.
Official coronation ceremonies, in
which the Bulldog will be crowned
as the official mascot of the Univer
sity, will be held in Sanford Stadium
just prior to the kick-off.
Arrangements for the crowning are
in charge of Wilson Still, Monroe,
campus leader, and Claude Davidson,
LaGrange, editor of The Red and
Black. Still said Wednesday that
final plans would not be completed
until after a decision has been made
on the question of women cheer lead
ers for the game, since the presence
or absence of women among the
cheer leaders would have consider
able effect on the coronation plans.
Research by a Red and Black re
porter last year revealed that the
Bulldog, used as a mascot by the
University teams for many years, has
been officially approved but has
never been officially crowned.
F. .1. Ball, Athens photographer,
was the originator of the proposal
to use the Bulldog as a mascot, as
nearly as could be learned, and gives
1904 as the date in which the adop
tion took place. The date is placed
as early as 1890 by some, however
and as late as 1920 by others.
Official approval came in 1920, in
a Pullman-car caucus of players,
coaches, and the athletic director,
while they were en rente to Char-

Blind Student Seeking Master’s Degree
Reads by Braille and "Reading Machine’
By Eugene Phillips
Blindness is no handicap to Vic
tor Mulling, 21-year-old Savannah
student, whose hobby is, of all things,
reading.
Sightless since the age of 10,
when a stick thrown by a playmate
deprived him of his vision, he has
read during the past year some 75
books, novels, and school texts. He
has accomplished this rather re
markable feat through the Braille
system, coupled with the aid of a
‘‘reading machine” on which record
ings of books are played. The ma
chine, loaned by a government
agency, works on the principle of a
victrola with slower disc revolutions.
Records for the machine are also
lent by the government.
Mulling, who lives in Candler
Hall, is working on his master's de
gree, majoring in history and political
science. He completed his under
graduate work in three years at Mer
cer University, where he was an out
standing student. Not wishing to
waste a whole year in the public |
schools. Mulling skipped the senior!
year after completing the tenth
grade at the Georgia School for the
Blind in Milledgeville.
With only the aid of a cane, the
blind student makes his way about
the walkways of the campus attend- j
ing classes and visiting the library.
He never loses his sense of direc-|
tion, and can determine the age of;
buildings merely by walking across
the floor.
“The Academic Building is certain
ly old,” Mulling said after treading
upon its creaking boards. "Peabody
Hall has been here a long time, too.”
He Judges a person’s character by
the sound of his voice, while he es
timates weight and physical appear
ance by the manner of walking. His
greatest difficulty on coming to the
campus. Mulling explained, was in
becoming accustomed to the maze
of pathways about the campus. Some
are “terribly confusing," he said.
week seeking federal approval for
grants for 15 projects to cost $3,-
341,153. Projects for which officials
seek approval are 25 dormitories,
$2,206,240, and a dormitory and
dining hall costing $579,913.
All the main sidewalks on the
Franklin and College of Agriculture
campuses will be paved as result of
approval of this project by WPA. The
contract will be let today for the
addition of wings to Milledge Hall.
Costing $90,000, the improvements
will bring the housing capacity of
the dormitory to 160 students.

W«>1 f(ton’s Comedy

season, the Broadway success, ’’Ex
cursion,” will he produced at Seney-
Stovall theater Dec. 1-2-3. Edward
C. Crouse, director of the theator,
stated today.
With the largest cast that has ever
played in one production Crouse
will direct the talents of 40 students
in Victor Wolfson's refreshing com
edy of a rebellious tub, 8. S. Happi
ness, headed for an island some
where south of Trinidad.
The season ticket sale wi'l start

will he sold for $1.50. TicketB may
be secured at Costa's, Moon-Winn’s,

year.
Veteran in lauul
Veteran actor of live productions,
Louis Sohu. Atlanta, will handle the
lead. In the supporting cast are
Alice Louis Hamlin, Springfield, Mo.;
Bob Hall, Miami, Fla.; Mary Nell
McKoin, Atlanta; Horton tlreefie,
Calhoun; Bill Riemer, Brooklyn, N.
Y.; Rita Slot in, Glenville; Betty

ner, Savannah; Hugh Hill, Griffin;
George Stanley, Savannah; Freddie
Hill, Athens; Helen Strickland,
Douglusvllie; and Melvin Pollock,

is to he announced next week.
The show is a fantastic comedy
of a Coney Inland steamboat that
shows her heels to Manhattan and
sturts jubilantly south for the warm
Caribbean Sea. Tin- Idea of the
cruise Is to establish an ideulistic
colony on a tropical Island to show
the world how to live again.
■lends for Island
S. S. Happiness, after 30 years
afloat, is headed for the island with
many of her most loyal passengers.
To Ohedlah Rich, the benign skip
per, the occasion is especially dis
heartening. for he not only loves his
ship but loves humanity with simple
sincerity, and has regretted during
all these years that the excursions
he has been making have been lies.
When the passengers come on board
Sunday morning they are eager for
true happiness.
If “Excursion” had only the impish
bleu of barratry to flirt with, It would
normally capture the imagination
completely. But Mr. Wolfson has u
bizarre congregation for his passen
gers— shop girls, serious thinkers,
uppercrust young folks, and an aging
Jewish couple bowed under care;
and Mr. Wolfson Interjects a serious
thought or two about ideul life.
“Excursion" Is a comedy full of
genial sentiment. Ingratiating char
acters, pleasant humor, and stored
away In Its hold, the cargo of freight
that Is its idea.

These are only two of the peculiar

‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ was

both the Smiths and the Browns,
j The Smiths have 4 3 representatives
on the campus; the Browns. 29; and
the Joneses only 28. Running close

The Macs from dear old Scotland

They have 107 representatives.
Matrons should be warned that
there are two Spooners present as

will be interested to know that there
