Two thrice beaten gridiron ma
chines, with nothing more thun an
arch intra-state rivalry at stake, will
draw an overflow crowd of 30,000
spectators to Sanford Stadium Sat
urday afternoon for 60 minutes of
gridiron warfare starting at 3:30
oclock.
It will be the Bulldogs of Geor
gia and tho Jackets of Tech u feudin’
again in the 3 2nd renewal of a hos
tility which began in 1893 and which
has been an annual affair since 19 25
when the two schools went back to
the firing line after a 10-year lapse
caused by a miniature war which
broke out as the teams battled to a
scoreless draw in 1915.
The winner? You could get
Georgia six points until the Jackets
were held to a scoreless tie by Flor
ida last week. Now, the best system
is to select your winner and then
bet yourself you are wrong.

week.
The honor society holds two elec
tions each year. Seniors are selected
at the annual fail election and ju
niors as well as seniors are selected
at the election held in the spring.
Membership Is based on a point
system. A total of 10 points with
one major honor Is required for elec
tion consideration. Points are ac
quired by leadership and scholarship
merits.

ly 4,000 reserve seats and 5,000
general admission tickets to be
put on sule tomorrow.
Bulldogs and Jackets come together.
Tech has played the superior sched
ule and has made the better record,
but try to get a Tech man to wager
more than even money. While Geor
gia has defeated The Citadel, South
Carolina, Mercer, Furman, and Flor
ida, and lost to Holy Cross, Tulane,
and Auburn, the Techs huve trimmed
Mercer, Auburn, and Kentucky,
bowed before Duke, Notre Dame, and
Vanderbilt, and tied Alabama and
Florida.
A 9 4-yard return of the second
half kick-off by Captain Bill Hartman
enabled Georgia to gain a 6-6 tie
with the favored Jackets last year
in Atlanta, and Saturday's clash In
Sanford Stadium is likely to afford
equal thrills.
Five Bulldogs will be making their
final appearance on the home grid

Touchdown, Safely Give Tech
Freshmen 8-0 Victory Be
fore 8,000
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 24—Before
8,000 fans who braved snow, rain,
and sleet, Georgia Tech’s freshman
eleven turned back the University
of Georgia yearlings, 8 to 0, this
afternoon on Grant Field here In the
annual Scottish Rite charity benefit.
Both the touchdown and the safety
were made possible by blocked punts,
with Georgia’s Cliff Klmscy the vic
tim all the way around. The Tech
touchdown came after Wendell Tip-
ton batted down one of Kimsey’s at
tempted punts and George Webb re
covered for the Jackets on Georgia's
15.
Five plays later found the Baby
Jackets short of a touchdown by one
foot, and Lloyd Boor crashed through
the lighter Bullpup forward wall on
the next play for the score. An auto
matic safety when Albert Muerth
blocked another of Kimsey's punts
late in the fourth quarter and the
ball bounded out of the end zone
supplied the Tech freshmen with
their other points.
Throughout the game the heavy
Jacket wall turned back the Bullpup
running attack, and left the Geor
gia offense on the shoulders of Hey
ward Allen, dead-eye passing ace.
