Bulldogs Seek
2nd SEC Win
In Tulane Tilt
Underdog Georgians Plan
Counter-Attack to Upset
Powerful Green Wave
By Jack IR'id
Come sundown Saturday, Georgia's
Bulldog gridiron machine will either
have bowed before Tulane or else
have become a definite contender for
a top spot in the Southeastern Con
ference pennant chase.
The Bulldogs, hopeful an offensive
game will surprise the odds-makers
and buoy their perfect intra-league
record of one victory in as many
starts above the high water mark,
will go up against the powerful
Green Wave Saturday at New Or
leans, La., at 3 o'clock (EST).
Joel Hunt, Georgia’s youthful
head mentor, left Athens Thursday
in company with his 35-tnan squad
planning to match Tulane’s highly-
touted offensive with one of his own,
commenting:
“I don’t see how our defense will
be able to stymie Tulane’s attack,
and our only chance for an upset
apparently lies in our being nble to
outscore the foe. Tulane will prob
ably score plenty on us.”
The Georgians, after turning in
their best performance of the sea-
Youtli will ho having Its fling

day at New- Orleans, La. Lowell
“Rod” Dawson, Wave mentor, is
the youngest head conch in the
Southeastern Conference, with the
Bulldogs' Joel Hunt a close sec
ond.
son last week in trimming an im
proved Florida club, 19-6, will mix
passes and ground plays against the
Wave. With Red Dawson, Greenie
coach, boasting two lines which av
erage well over 200 pounds, it is
likely the Bulldogs will again find
themselves banking heavily on the
talented right-arm of “Bullet Bill”
Mims, the Atlanta junior, who has
developed into one of the South's
most deadly passers. It was Mims’
dead-eye heaving which sparked
Georgia’s brilliant fourth quarter
drive against the 'Gators.
The Bulldogs' two all-conference
possibilities. Captain Quinton Lump
kin, at center, and Jim Fordham, In
the backtleld, will find themselves
matched ugainst two of the country's
best grldmen. Lumpkin’s particular
rival will be Bernie Smith, the
Wave’s ace pivot man. Like Lump
kin, Smith is 215-pounds of football
brawn.
Sickness Forces Hooper
To Cat; 1st in 48 Years
University students who fall j
back on a slight case of sniffles j
as an excuse for skipping that
8:30 the morning after can take
a lesson in hale and hearty class
attendance from Dr. W. D. Hoop
er, of the Latin department.
Ptomaine poisoning Thursday
uml Friday of last week forced
Dr. Hooper to miss Ills first
classes because of sickness in 4 8
years of teaching.
"Of course, I have had to miss
classes when it was necessary for
me to be out of town and for other
such reasons,” commented Mr.
Hooper, who, like the average stu
dent, finds It hard to mako 8:30s,
but, unlike the typical student,
never relied on sickness to be ab
sent until doctor's orders made it
necessary last week.

"Excursion” is u practical kind of

(’.oiiiinittee Will Make Plans
for Co-eds in Colorful
Display
By Uluudc Davidson
Women cheer leaders at the Uni
versity are an impossibility by the
Georgia-Georgia Tech week-end.
This was the decision reached
Thursday morning in a meeting of
student representatives and a Uni
versity administrative committee.
At the same time, however, the fac
ulty group decided to investigate the
matter further, with a view to re
considering and possible installation
of women cheer leaders next spring.
Recognizing the spirit of the en
tire move, the faculty group decided
to set up a plan whereby women stu
dents will bo permitted to take a
prominent part in the Homecoming
festivities. A student-faculty com
mittee was named and action will
be taken immediately.
Student* Attend Meeting
Students meeting with the admin
istrative body Thursday were Wil
son Still, campus leader; Mary Neel,
student government president, and
Claude Davidson, editor of The Red
and Black. Members of tho faculty
group included President Harmon W.
Caldwell; Mrs. R. L. McWhorter,
dean of women; H. J. Stegeman,
dean of men; R. H. Powell, dean of
Coordinate College; L. L. Hendren,
dean of administration, and W. O.
Payne, faculty director of athletics.
Open discussion was held while
both sides of the question, which
bus hung fire for the past two months
on the campus, were discussed.
Contentions of tho student repre
sentatives were that women cheer
leaders will add color to the athletic
events and at the same time serve
as a medium of expression on the
part of the co-ed group at the Uni
versity. Added school spirit as one
of the contributing factors was men
tioned. Other state universities hav
ing such representation were given
as examples.
Administration t 'ontentions
Administrative arguments, both
pro und con, were that the Univer
sity Is interested in anything that
will benefit the students and add
color to athletic events; that other
large schools, with some exceptions,
do have what appear to be excellent
plans for woman participation in
school spirit; that the University has
certain traditions and precedents to
uphold; and that there is the matter
of opinion of putrons, friends und
alumni of the University to be con
sidered.
A trial plan was asked, but the
committee fell that there should be
some definite knowledge that the
plan will succeed before It Is in-
