Dartmouth to Give Bulldogs Bowl Test
At Homecoming Game on Saturday;
Tony Pastor Features Gala Week-End
Named to High Honor Group
Bulldogs Will Rely Upon
Sinkwich and Company
Plus a Hard Charging Line
lo Bring Bowl Bid
By Hurley Bowers
Georgia's bowl bound Bulldogs,
featuring All-American Frankie Sink-
wlch, will turn on the power tomor
row before the Orange Bowl scouts
and about 20,000 Homecoming funs,
when they clash with the big Green
squad of Dartmouth, one of the
most powerful teams in the East de
spite three games in the loss col
umn.
Rated as the Number One con
tender for the Southern representa
tive in the Bowl of Oranges, the Bull
dog will face their first of two tough
tests in an effort to prove their
worth as a New Year’s Day attrac
tion.
Feature Ray Wolfe
The Indians, featuring a great
back in Ray Wolfe, will provide half
of one of the top intersectional con
tests of the day and through their
defeat of unbeaten Cornell last year |
have become known as a team to be
feared by Bowl bound opponents.
Besides Wolfe, the Indians feature a
collection of the greatest hackfield
material ever on parade for one
team on Southern soil.
With a big fast line, which will
outweigh Georgia about three pounds
to the man, running in front of the
numerous backs, the Bulldogs can
not afford to let up for a single min
ute or their dreams of a first bowl
bid in Georgia history will be blasted
to bits.
The Dartmouth team has resem
bled Tulane's powerhouse in the re
spect of being an in and outer this
season, beating highly rated Colgate
early In the season and then being
upset by a weak William and Mary
eleven. Dartmouth cannot be ex
pected to be on one of its off days
tomorrow, however, for it has been
pointing to the Georgia game all
season.
To Cinch All-American
Besides pacing Georgia in its bowl
bid, All-American candidate, "Can
nonball” Frankie Sinkwich will be
out to cinch his All-American hon
ors. Already chosen on two All-
American teams and the only unani
mous choice on the Swank maga
zine selection, Frankie probably will
gain the support of the doubting few
tomorrow if he continues his sensa
tional dashes through a defense set
to stop him at any cost. His bril
liant running has accounted for 868
yards rushing this seaon, tops In the
nution, and his sling-shot arm has
been good for an additional 4 04
yards.
The Georgia fireball has scored
six touchdowns and passed for seven
more besides kicking one field goal.
Against six of the Bulldogs' eight
opponents Frankie has outgained the
entire fleet of opposing backs.
Besides Frankie, there will be

The Male Animal Fascinates
Audience with Genuine Drama
By Willis Johnson
First nighters were not disappoint
ed Wednesday night when they wit
nessed the opening performance of
"The Male Animal,” first University
Theater production of the current
season.
On the program was printed, "The
characters and events depicted in
this play are fictional. Any re
semblance to actual persons or sit
uations is entirely coincidental.” But
the audience wondered if Authors
James Thurber and Elliott Nugent
had a premonition as to events
which would happen in the Univer
sity System of Georgia.
In the play professors were threat
ened by trustees, and college editors
wrote blazing editorials. On the
front rows of the auditorium, how
ever, were many outstanding mem
bers of the University of Georgia
faculty.
The love interest was tied in with
the fight between Professor Tommy
Turner, played by Eugene Freeman.
Columbus, and Joe Ferguson, por
trayed by Uly Gunn, Athens, for the
affections of Tommy’s wife, Ellen,
who was very capably depicted by
Shirley Jones, Atlanta.
For the first scenes, Freeman
played his role Just as It might have
been played by the dull, book-worm-
ish professor that he represented,
but as the evening wore on, he warm
ed up to the part and deservlngly
drew the ovation that was given to
himself and the entire cast at cur
tain-call.
Comely Shirley Jones left nothing
undone in the portrayal of Ellen, and
added plenty of “umph" to the touch
ing love scenes.
Paula Muller, Miami, Fla., appear
ed with a blackened face and a
brogue that was a cross between
geechy and Harlem slang to draw
more laughs per minute than any
other actor on the stage.
Soprano-voiced Bill Durden, At
lanta, had a hard Job bringing his
voice down to fill the part of Dean
Frederick Damon, but he succeeded
in dong a fair job of acting with a
bit of mugging thrown In on the side.
