Ed Dan forth Says Bulldogs
Should Win Every Contest
If the Bureau of Censorship will
pardon the metaphor, there will he
a faint northerly breeze blowing
over Sanford Stadium tomorrow.
And that gentle breeze will be the
lleree IMirple Hurricane of Furman.
Not at all like the advance re-
porta that have blown them up, the
Hurricane will be only a puIT of air.
Yea, boys, a mere balmy breeze—
not even enough wind to nod the
I'ltiea on Ag Hill. About the rloaeat
thing to a hurrleane on the Held
after the game will be the panting
llulldoga, at ill glary eyed sifter the
kill.
Don't for a minute think that
Coach Hutta baa forgotten the dis
graceful defeat lie suffered at tile
hands of the Hurricane In Ills de
but at Georgia. He and the entire
Bulldog pack Intend to drink the
sweet wine of revenge; nor do they
Intend to give any quarter.
Kinkwlch Iteaily
Will HInkwlch play? Yea, some,
but the Little Round Man Isn't like
ly to risk him long tomorrow. But
that will hardly affect the score.
If Sonny Lloyd. Ilyala Lee, and
Jackie Pounds handle the mall apo
dal delivery aa they did last week
the llulldoga' kicker, piiRKer, run
ner and signal-caller will lie scarce
ly missed.
Georgia very likely will turn on j
the speed tomorrow, especially after
the lecture Coach Units gave them
Wednesday night. And In spite of
the reports, Furman Ih weak. As
one rabid fan put It, ‘'Poscbner will
take enre of that flashy fullback In
the tlrst quarter.” Would It be
alighting the Bulldogs to say 41-0?
All-Aincrlriiii I'osclinet*
Of course, we can't mention every
body here, but tills week's quart of
champagne should go to George
Pose liner. He loves Ills football and
he Plays It " it ll (toori^o
Isn't the spectacular end who catches
all the winning passes but he never
fails to come through when the chips

mad and lie la ready for a tight at
the words "play ball.” He likes It
when the odds are against him
"If Oeorgln doesn’t, wli every
game on their schedule tils fall
they ought to start playing touch
fool hall."
Had Coach Wallace Butts heard
those words he probably wottlil have
groaned most audibly. Hat the
speaker's contemporary, Jack Troy
of the Atlanta Constitution, been
present he undoubtedly would have
raised a skeptical eyebrow. Big Ed
1 Danforth, sports editor of the At-
! lanta Journal, uttered that dogmatic
| conviction without hntting an eye-
last. As a matter of fact, the spurts
expert’s eyes were closed as he lean
ed back In Ills chair In the Journal
I office, placed Ills hands behind his
greying head and calmly continued:
I "Sure, Georgia has a tough i
schedule but they also have a tough
team to beat. The Bulldogs may
| have trouble with Mississippi tuid
| Alabama but there Is no doubt about
jit; Georgia and Old Miss have the
I octstandlng tennis in the outheast-
erti Conference."
Danforth was as deliberate nnd
reckless as his Journalistic Croatia*.
Wayward Itoye, ns he climbed fur

tional columnist might have dared.

scribe's praise of Slnk-
llut there
about the
wlrh.
“Right now
I
think Slnkwich is
tile best football player In the
world." Danforth said, “and Charley
Trlppi will not be lost among the
AH American’s fans. Both players
should gain national prominence.”
Although the football forecaster
i.i confident of Bulldog victories he
is not eertuin they will go to a bowl.
But It Is only because there may
not be one. ‘The Bulldogs aren’t
likely to play in the Orange Bowl
this year,” Danforth said, “as there
would be no gate. There are few
tourists In Florida now and the bowl
game may be called off. Some of the
New Year’s classics already have
been cancelled. It's hard to say yet
just what arrangements will be
made."
Georgia has the Tech game vir
tually sewed up, according to Dan
forth but ns readers of his column,
“An Ear to the Ground,” know, the
sports editor Is all out for playing
the game In Atlantn. "The crowd
would be much larger hut I suppose
sentiment Is more important than
money,” Danforth said quite seri
ously.
The sports scribe predicts a high
ly satisfactory season in the South
eastern Conference, for both the fan
end the ticket office. But next fall
it may be different. Dnnforth be
lt's es that not only Georgia but col
lege football in general will con
tribute heavily to the armed forces.
"There probably will be college foot
ball next year,” says Danforth, "but
it will be on a considerably smaller
scale.”

A quick glance at the last week's
opponent line-up showed that the I games, or
Bulldogs weren’t going to play tag
with Western! Highs' Terrors, this
was a Job for Superman. Jax Navy
had a conglomeration of ex-pros,
present-pros, college stars, a cadet
or two, and a few stray truck driv
ers, and were climaxed by Gorgeous
George McAfee who looked like Ster
ling Hayden and ran like Whtrlaway.
One time he checked out down the
sidelines and was going so fast he
brought to memory the story of the
Polish bicycle rider going past Hit
ler's house.
The line in front of this whirling
dervish, continually about to gyrate,
was a beautiful picture of poundage.
In fact, these herculean heroes were
so he-muscled that they spelled
avoirdupotson for all who opposed
their might. The pre-game outlook
was Jittery, to put it mildly. Th ise
beat-up olde Bulldogs, slightly bet
ter for the wear, jumped in the ring
with these bounding behemoths at
exactly 3:00 p. m., and for the next
two hours there was considerable
rooting, and I don’t mean In the
stands.
Line Play

lie's at it again! That past mas
ter of pass interception, Clyde Ehr-
liardt, pulled down his first inter
cepted pass in the Georgia-Jacksou-
ville Naval Air Station game and
then romped back 12 yards with a
pack of Fliers on his back to get
off to an early start in his 194 2 sea
son of aerial interruption.
Last year the alert Bulldog center
ranked second in the nation in pass
interceptions by snagging nine ene
my aerials in nine games. Ehrhardt
ran these interceptions back for a
total of 162 yards and a new con
ference record. It was largely
through Ehrhardt’s wide-awake de
fensive play that the Bulldogs led
the nation in pass interceptions, tak
ing 32 aerials for a net runback of
402 yards. And Clyde was in those
nine games only half the time, shar
ing the center's duties with Bill God
win. Clyde's record of nine catches
does not include two he brought
down in the Orange Bowl game.
Nine interceptions in as many
on a time basis, four and
one-half games! That ain’t hay—
nor luck. Clyde insists that it's all
luck and guesswork but it certain
ly is systematic guesswork and as
for luck, the husky 201-pound Mur
freesboro. Tennessee, boy has the
odds stacked very favorably. Here's
t the way Ehrhardt explains it:
"The main thing, of course, is to
watch the passer. Nine-tenths of
the time he gives the due to the
I play. I watch his eyes. Very few
passers ran look in one direction
I and throw accurately in another."
Clyde also keeps his eyes on the
’ ball-handler's footwork. From his
position in short secondary Ehrhardt
has found that on a running play
iiacks will take one short step for
ward and then pivot for a reverse j
or spinner hut on a pass the for-!
ward step is hurried or forgotten.

Government priorities and the lack
of steel throughout the country did
not hinder the University from se
curing many trophies as awards in
the forthcoming women's intramu
rals on Coordinate campus. Ten
new trophies have been purchased
by the Women’s Athletic Association.
These awards which are on display
at the Intramural Office of Pound
Auditorium shall be presented to the
winners of the fall tournaments in
accordance with the newly completed
award system.
A busy schedule of intramural
sports has been planned for the fall
quarter. According to individual
qualifications a student may enter
any of the following tournaments:
Coordinate College volley hall; Uni
versity volley ball, horse shoeing,
shiiffleboard, bicycling and mixed
tennis.
There will be a bicycle race in
stead of swimming as the Navy Pre-
Flight School now occupies the Edu
cation Building. Sorority girls,
dormitory girls, and town girls may
enter one team of eight in this race.
Horse shoeing has been planned as
a team sport.
According to Miss Amy Slocum,
•if the Women's Physical Education
Department, the following are the
important sport dates for the fall
quarter:
Sept. 28—Organizations select
tournament managers.
Oct. 5—Students fill out entry
sheets.
Oct. 6—Courts open for volley
ball practice.
Oct. 14—Mixed tennis tourna

The pass parasite gives former
Coach Bill Hartman much of the
credit for his brilliant defensive
rla.T "I learned a lot from the pass
defense drills he used to hold,”
Clyde said.
Ehrhardt picked up some experi
ence in ball carrying during one
year as fullback at Morgan Prep
School in Petersburg. Tenn. His 65-
vard runback with an intercepted
Dartmouth pass was the longest in
the conference last year.
