GRAND OLD MAN
Too much can’t be said here or
anywhere else in praise of the Bull
dog bone. Coach Wallace Butts. His
work with the
Bulldogs and
his own per
sonal achieve
ments since
coming to
Georgia have
been nothing
short of marv
elous.
A large pro
portion of the
credit for
Georgia’s last
13 consecutive
victories should
go to Coach
Butts—a far larger proportion than
he gets. Coach Butts has given
those Bulldogs that extra something
that probably no other man could
give them. He has taught them to
crave the game a she does, he has
given them spark and fight, he has
instilled the confidence that brings
victories. And he has conditioned
them—the kind of conditioning that
beat Alabama.
STEMMING THE TIDE
Boss Butts knows his coaching.
During the half last week many a
coach would have torn his hair and
snorted and ranted at the Bulldogs.
Coach Butts knows how to do that
too, but he also knows how to win
ball games. First, he told them the
truth. He told them that except for
Alabama's one scoring play, the Bull
dogs had played the Tide off their
feet. Then he reminded them that
they still had 30 full minutes to win
the game. And a Bulldog never for
gets.
Butts has done all this despite ad
verse circumstances. The training
headquarters and practice field have
been taken, players have left for the
armed forces, coaching assistants
have been drafted, traveling condi
tions have been bad, and on all this
has been added the responsibility of
athletic director.
Yet Butts has come through as
few conld and Intramural Director
Frank Frost has declared him one
of the best coaches In the game.
Frost should know—he has been
around a long time and has worked
under similar conditions himself.
WE POINT WITH PRIDE
... to Gene Ellenson, Bulldog
left tackle, assistant sports editor
and columnist of The Red and Black
and president of “G” Club who re
cently was selected along with
Frank Slnkwich to appear In Who’s
Who In American Colleges and Uni
versities.
Ellenson has also battered his
way to the top among S. E. C. line
men. The way Gene blasted his way
through Alabama's powerful forward
wall and raced down field on punts
to make jarring tackles, convinced
everybody, the Tide Included, that
the tackle position very definitely is
not the Achilles’ heel of the bowl-
bound Bulldogs.

Gator Haters
Boarding the Bulldog's luxury daycoacli at Macon for Jacksonville
and a battle with the Florida ’Gators are four big reasons why Ala
bama's Crimson Tide fell from grace last week. They nre George
l’oschner, end; Lamar Davis, wingback, and Frank Sinkwicli and
Charley Trlppl, tailbacks. Sinkwlcli approached a new all-time record
as his total yarduge mark reached 1,437 yards. Posrlmer made two
touchdown pass receptions, Davis took I.A passes for 445 yards, and
Trlppi's running ami passing were Invuluable.
Bulldogs, Take A Bow
We’ve got to hand it to you, Bulldogs—every one of you, from
Flinging Frankie right on down to the fabulous freshmen. You’re
the greatest team In the country in a dozen different wayB and on
behalf of the student body and all good Georgia fans, The Red and
Black is saying, "Here's to you.”
We can’t decide exactly what it is that makes you click the way
you do. Maybe it's your clock-like teamwork, maybe it's that Bull
dog determination and unquenchable fighting spirit, maybe it’s Just
because you’re every one All-Americans. But whatever It Is, you've
got It, Bulldogs, like no other team ever had.
And that Alabama game! You were almost too good to be true.
The way you came back after the half and snatched that game out
of the fire was perfection. When every Georgia supporter in the
stadium had given up in despair you were fighting every second for
a Bcore, for a victory.

Frosh Clash
With Clemson
Tiger Cubs Favored
In Season Opener
By Edward Weeks
The Georgia Bullpups will open
their 19 42 grid season in Clomson,
S. C., Friday afternoon against a
highly favored Clemson freshman
team.
In the Tiger Cubs, the untested
Georgia freshman squad is running
up against a formidable opponent
boasting a record of four wins and
one loss against keen Southern Con
terence competition.
The Bullpups are greatly hand!-,
capped in that their star players are] tun out of original comebacks, and
performing on the varstty squad as after awhile they began to sound
a result of the Southeastern Confer- '
ence ruling permitting them to do
so and will not be present for the
coming conflict. Clemson is not
hampered by any such difficulty.
The Tiger Cubs also will be playing
in their own back yard. Add to this
the fact that the Bullpups are un-|

Bulldog Left Tackle
As the darkening evening fell,
and the big stadium slowly squeez
ed out its aggled thousands, a small
group of football players stumbled
into the eaBt-end dressing rooms and
slowly began to take off those uni
forms that once were a spotless
white.
They were tired and whipped
down, but along with that endless
aching was the happy glory of vic
tory. Georgia had jumped Into the
ring with mighty 'Hama. And when
the smoke cleared from Grant Field
battle ground only one team remain
ed standing—our own Bulldogs.
For hours happy alumni and well-
wishers flocked to congratulate the
team for the great victory. They
attacked in echelons of anywhere
from single pursuits to huge forma
tions of folks. Tho boys began to
like tho broken record. All In all,
it was a fine week-end. All the stu
dents except the football team had
a huge time. The Bulldogs were
plumb wo’o out and hit tho hay
early.
OUR FRIEND TOMMY
You all probably have read the
tried this Reason and have had lit-Morions obituaries to Tommy Witt,
tie opportunity to develop an of- They told of his heroic death and
fenso of their own while running [ h,s athletic life. They said he had
plays of Bulldog foes against the
varsity and you have an Idea of what
the Geargla Yearlings are up against.
Coach Howell Hollis is not opti
mistic about his team's ehances, but
promises that they wiil be a spirited
outfit, attempting to make up for
in fight what they lack in finesse.
The Bullpups' main hopes for an
upset lie In the hands of Chicken
Gatewood, flashy tailback from
Americus, Georgia, and Joe Gerl,
fleet-footed Pennsylvanian, who also
runs from a haekfleld slot. Expect
ed to play major parts In stopping
a powerful Clemson offense will be
tackle Bradford Hadnott, of Birm
ingham, Alabama, and guard Char
lie Furchgott, former star at Boys’
High of Atlanta. Other outstanding
yearling players are Pete Freeman,
guard; Ed Arlin, guard; Red White,
end; Steve Verarsky, center; Buster
Orlfflty, fullback, and Wesley Carter,
blocking back.
Spearhead of the ClemRon attack
is one George Olson of Decatur, a
brilliant back vainly sought after
by Georgia talent hunters.
The Bullpups will embark on Fri
day morning, playing Friday after-
noon and returning that night.
courage—a thing any of us could
have told you long ago—and finally
they paid tribute to as fine a boy
as ever wore his country's uniform
and the Georgia Red and Black. All
these things were true, and more
than Justly deserved, but there Is
one thing no paper has mentioned.
The loss of a friend nnd a swell guy.
He used to room next to me and
many were the times we swapped
varna as well as blocks on the field.
Ho was a big blonde guy with a
catching smile and a real sense of
humor. He was full of fun nnd used
to get a lot of pleasure out of liv
ing. In short, he was one of the
fellas at the Annex—one of my
friends. Now ho Is gone, knocked
out by a Nazi. In a little while all
of us at the Annex will go Into the
service and one of the counts on
tho score hoard to bo settled is—
our friend Tommy.
MEAT ON THE TABLE
As we walked Into the Annex the
other night and smelled the appe
tizing aroma of turkey wo thought
the President had changed hts mind
again and moved Thanksgiving up
to November 3, But It was Just a
special treat.
