South to Meet
Miami Eleven
Georgia Plays Strengthened
Team in Final Game of
Season Tonight
Football Manager Saves
Life of Passing Motorist
By Jack Reid
Red and Black Sports Editor
MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 2—The same
spectators who packed Miami's beau
tiful Burdine Orange Bowl for a
dedication last winter will recon
vene in the spacious concrete and
steel’structure tonight at 8:15 o’clock
(EST) for a football game.
Georgia tackles a strengthened
University of Miami team in what
will be the final game of the season
for the Bulldogs. True, the two
teams met last fall, but the favored
Georgians made such a walk-away
of the tilt—26-0—that Miami foot
ball followers retired to their night
clubs with the thought, "Well, they
had a nice dedication service, any
how.”
Miami Improved
Miami’s football team has come a
long, long way since last fall. Boast
ing victories over such teams as Du-
quesne, Bucknell, Florida, and oth
ers, the Hurricane is rated a 50-50
choice in tonight’s clash which has
this winter mecca awaiting the kick
off.
The Bulldogs arrived in nearby
Hollywood Thursday afternoon In
time for a final tapering oft. Three
Georgians, Dooley Matthews, Marvin
Gillespie, and Clayton Wilhite, are
definitely lost, and a fourth, Ned
Barbre, is on the doubtful list. Except
for Matthews, all of the aforemen
tioned are linemen. ,
Backs in Good Shape
Save for Matthews, who has been
out since the Tulane game with a
broken arm, Georgia’s backfleld corps
is in top trim. Coach Joel Hunt
plans to open with a quartet com
posed of Bob Salisbury Earl Hise
Vassa Cate, and Jim Fordham. In’
the line, Bulldog starters will be
Quinton Lumpkin at center, Winston
Hodgson and Howard Johnson,
guards, Bill Badgett and Albert De-
Charleroy, tackles, and Carroll
Thomas and Knox Eldredge, ends
Two members of the starting club

folks. Eldredge, lightweight flank
i tn p ^PP ed at Miami High School,
while Hise, triple-threat sophomore
back, starred at Miami Edison High.
Six Bulldogs, Including Wilhite,
Gillespie, and Barbre, will have their
last chance to play under the Red
and Black banner tonight. In addi
tion to the injured trio, Georgia
seniors are Lumpkin, Badgett, and
Thomas, all three of whom are in
the opening line-up.
Slaton Jones, Atlanta, senior
manager of the varsity football
squad, was instrumental in saving
the life of a passing motorist on
the Atlanta highway Sunday.
Jones and two taxicab drivers
rushed onto the highway to pull
J. C. Jackson, of Winder, from his
automobile after it had overturn
ed and caught fire. Jackson was
immediately taken to a hospital
in a serious condition as a result
of his burns.
The cab drivers were Walter
Vaughn and Howard Daton.

All Ex-Red and Black Editors Find Jobs
In Either Journalism or Related Fields
By Bill Hogcr*
Each succeeding "generation” of
Red and Black editors is helping
keep perfect the record of its pre
decessors. All former student ed
itors of the campus weekly are now
profitably employed in Journalism or
closely allied fields.
At the end of the past school year
the first year that The Red and Black
has had three editors, the graduating
policymakers of the publication found
employment in three different phases
of journalism.
Dyar Massey, Greenville, S. C., re
mains at the University as instructor
in journalism and the division of
social sciences. Capers Holmes, Cul-
loden, spent the summer on Governor
Rivers’ publicity staff before becom
ing publicity director of a CCC camp.
Don Carter, Plains, the first trans
fer student ever to edit the campus
weekly, is now on the Atlanta Jour
nal’s news staff.
Editors of the 1936-37 school year
were George Boswell. Crawfordville
and Tom McRae, McRae. Boswell
is now associate editor of the Bartow
Herald, while McRae is in the sports
department of the Atlanta Constitu
tion.
Two Rogers’ headed The Red and
Black during ’35 and ’36, Winburn
Rogers, Milledgeville, and Lee Rog
ers, Elberton. The former’s title
now is advertising manager of the
Griffin News, and the latter’s is
movie editor of the Atlanta Consti
tution.
The student publication was first
chosen for All-American rating as one
of the live best college weeklies In
the United States while under Ed
itors Tom Dozier, Athens, and Bill
Ray, Johnson City, Tenn., in 1934-
35. Dozier is with the Birmingham
bureau of the United Press and Ray
is in the sports department of the
Atlanta Georgian.
For the preceding year, 1933-34,
W. B. Williams, Jacksonville, Fla.,
and A. R. Hargraves, Thomasville,
headed the paper. Vick Chemical
Company. New York City, now em
ploys Williams. Hargraves went to
the Georgia Power Company by way
of the Athens Daily Times and the
Bartow Herald.
A1 Smith, Waycross, and Charles
Reynolds, Athens, were the editors
in 1932-33. Publicity director of
Louisiana State University is Smith’s
job now, while Reynolds edits the
Washington (Ga.) Star-Reporter.
Previously Reynolds was with the
University Division of Publications.
Editor during the first half of
| 1931-32, Jack Withers, Atlanta, is
| now head of the Atlanta Credit Clear
ing Company. Harold Martin. Com
merce. who was editor the last half
of that year, now heads the list of
Grady graduates on the Atlanta
Georgian.
Editors in 1930-31 were Leighton
Mitchell, Atlanta, and Cecil Hurst,
Newnan. Mitchell is now credit
manager of the Goodyear Company,
in Cincinnati, and Hurst is associate
and managing editor of the Griffin
News.
An NBC broadcast and an ap
pearance at the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis have been
added to the schedule of the Men's
Glee Club which leaves tonight for
Washington, D. C., to present a con
cert under the auspices of the Geor
gia State Society Saturday night at
the Shoreliam Hotel.
The quarter hour national broad
cast will be from the NBC studios
at the Trans-Lux Building, Saturday
afternoon at 6:30 o’clock (EST),
Hugh Hodgson, director of the club,
announced today. The concert at
Annapolis will be presented Sunday
afternoon as the first in a series of
musical events planned for the Acad
emy during the winter.
Miss Minna Hecker, Atlanta col
oratura, will appear with the club
as guest soloist, and Mr. Hodgson
will accompany and direct the singers
from the piano.
The 29 men, Miss Hecker, and Mr.
and Mrs. Hodgson will leave Athens
at 9 o’clock tonight, arriving in
Washington at noon tomorrow.
Although the club makes an an
nual spring tour over the state, this
is one of the few times that it has
hud the opportunity to make an out-
of-the-state appearance. The most
recent performance beyond the Geor
gia boundaries was the successful
concert presented in Jacksonville,
Fla., last spring.
Plans for the 1939 season which
opens officially tomorrow night in
clude appearances in LaGrange,
Griffin, Atlanta, Birmingham, Ala.,
and Jacksonville and Tallahassee,
Fla.

Under the sponsorship of the Ag

will play for their first dance Satur
day night from 9 to 12 In Woodruff

to attend, athletic tickets being the
only requirement for admittance for
those students who have dates. Men
without partners will be charged 25

one musical organization to take
care of the social functions of the
University campus, Bill Yazell, Co
lumbus, manager, said.
Drama Season
To Be Opened
By 'Excursion’
Play Opens for Three-Day
Showing at Seney-Stovall
Thursday Night
Music, comedy, brilliant lights
and the excitement of a first-night
audience will brighten Milledge ave
nue Thursday night at 8:30 when
the University Theater launches its
new season with its nautical adven
ture "Excursion." The play will run
through Saturday.
With nearly 75 members of the
cast and stage crews crowding the
stage of Seney-Stovall Theater and
a capacity crowd “out front,” the
opening of "Excursion" is expected
to be one of the biggest in the his
tory of the University Theater.
Though formal dress will be worn
by many members of fraternities and
sororities who will attend in parties,
it is not required.
Coordinate Women Muy Attend
Freshman and sophomore women
are permitted to attend the play
olther Thursday, Friday, or Satur
day nights. Music appreciation class
scheduled for Thursday night will
be suspended for the opening of
“Excursion," Hugh Hodgson, pro
fessor of music, announced today.
Reserved seats for the play will
be available Monday through Satur
day ut Costa’s. Holders of season
tickets may exchange stubs for re
servations there and tickets for this
single production will be on sale at
75 cents, with a few balcony seats
at 50 cents. Late buyers can still
obtain season tickets, according to
A. L. Weill, business manager.
Priced at $1.50, the books save
per cent in the cost of the year’s
three plays.
When the curtain rises on the first
act of "Excursion" one of the most
elaborate productions ever seen at
the University will be revealed. The
entire stage will be converted into
the exterior of a sea-going excursion
liner, and the largest cast in the
Theater’s history will jam the docks
as a pleasure-seeking crowd of week
end Coney Island tourists.
Story of “Excursion"
The story of "Excursion" concerns
this crowd of oddly-assembled New
Yorkers who set out on their Satur
day pleasure cruise and suddenly dis
cover early Sunday morning on their
return trip that their skipper has
headed bis ship out into the open
ocean. He is bound, he says, for an
“island paradise" near Trinidad
where his passengers can begin lifo
anew under happier surroundings.
The opening Thursday night will
mark the Southern premiere of
"Excursion” in college tkeaten. The
play ended a long Broadway run last
season und has since been produced
in several important universities in
other sections of the country.
Hcuded by a popular University
Theater performer, Louis Sohn, who
plays the cjkptaln of the S. S. Happi
ness, the cast of the new comedy also
includes the following University
men und women:

University Thumhers Spring to Defense
Of Honors as First Hitchhiking Society
The first military field meet held
at the University was scheduled to
take place this afternoon at 3:30 on
the ROTC field. Sponsored by the In
fantry regiment, the meet was to con
sist of competitive events between
teams of seven companies.
Events of the contest were a tug
of war, wall scaling, an oral mes
sage race, an equipment race, first
aid competition, a wheelbarrow race,
an egg and spoon race, and a three-
legged race.
The fancy drill platoon formed
two weeks ago under the command
of Cadet Captain John Dowdy, Tlf-
ton, and composed of first and sec
ond basic military students was to
have given an exhibition as an added
attraction of the field meet. Also
planned as part of the day's program
w-as a machine gun drill by advanced
ROTC students under the supervision
of Maj. Albert H. Peyton.
Members of University’s American
Association of Collegiate Hitchhik
ers rose up In arms this week to de
fend their honor as the nation's first
thumbing society.
Rival claims had been filed by the
Registered Collegiate Thutnbers, who
were publicized in a recent Issue of
the rotogravure Collegiate Digest.
Denouncing the R.C.T. as an imi
tator a year behind the times, A.A.
C.H. officials roundly declared, "We
will stand for no infringement on
our rights.” Steps have been taken
to curb the claims of the rival group,
according to Eugene Phillips, Roys
ton, national A.A.C.H. commander.
"Thumbers Thumb Noses at Rival
Hitchhike Group” was a sample
headline as state papers and press
associations picked up the story dur
ing the week.
The fight is the second the Uni
versity thumbers have had on their
hands since the foundation of the
fraternity last year. Last summer a
Vermonter, claiming to be “the
world’s champion hitchhiker" made
plans to set up a professional organi
zation using the same name taken
by the Georgia group. Curt corres
pondence from the A.A.C.H. and
newspaper publicity caused him to
abandon the idea.
Publicity concerning the dispute
gave an impetus to the organization
as applications for chapter charters
w<-re received from N.Y.U. and Fur
man this week, and rolls of the Geor
gia chapter were augmented with the
addition of a number of new organ
ized thumbers.
Founded by Lynne Brannen Jr.,
Athens, and Phillips, the Arch-spon
sored A.A.C.H. now boasts 12 char
ter chapters in universities through
out the nation. Schools from Colum
bia and Ohio in the east to Stan
ford in the west have functioning
local units, Phillips said.
Operating under the slogan, "See
America First—by Thumb,” the or
ganization has as its purpose institu
tion of a spirit of understanding be
tween the motorist and the collegiate
traveler.
Members, male collegians, wear
an armband and carry an identifica
tion card while on the road.
