Laundry Will Suspend
Out-in-Toicn Service
Students living in town must
have laundrying done at inde
pendent establishments after
this week, the University Laun
dry announced today.
This announcement came fol-«
lowing a survey made of laun
dry conditions by University of
ficials. Already the laundry-
plant has contracts from the
Naval Pre-Flight School and the
Signal Corps.
Laundry directors stated,
however, that the plant will
continue to give service to dor
mitory students.
The University laundry was
established as a service to stu
dents and last year the plant
was enlarged to handle the In
creasing business.
As a result of increased fa
cilities, the laundry has been
able to do more efficient work
this year than was the case dur
ing previous years. But hand
ling the laundry of approximate
ly four thousand men of the
fighting forces has forced the
laundry to refuse to do town
student work for the present.

Bowl-Bound

Chattanooga
McPhee, Todd, Kcuper

Injured List

land."

bowl, preferably the colorful Hose
Bowl in Pasadena.
With the 75-0 rout of Florida in
the books and tho handwriting on
tbo wall, "California, here we come,"
the growling Georgia Bulldogs, half-
maddened now by the scent of blood
on their claws from eight victories,
look around for another victim. This

week It will be helpless Chattanooga
and the entire pack is eager for the
kill.
In addition to stretching their win
ning streak to 14 victories, the Bull
dogs laid a Armor grip on their crown
as the top team In the country lost
week. Georgia also surged to tho
front as an offensive team and
George Poschner galloped up among
the leading scorers in the Southeast
ern Conference with 36 points.
Way Ahead
The unsurpassable Bulldogs have
excelled in every department of the
game. They lead tho conference In
offense and Hlnkwlch leads in total
yardage. Sinkwich also Is top scorer
and Lamar Davis, Charley Trlppl,
George Poschner and Leo Costa are
high point men. Davis leads the
conference in pass reception and
Trlppl, Sonny Lloyd and LaFayette
King havo made the SEC team of
the week.
Frankly, Chattanooga's chances
look slim thlB week-end. Worse
than that, the Chattanooga choo-choo
probably will be no more than a
slow freight sidetracked by gargan
tuan Georgia.

But Chattanooga will put up plenty
of fight. The Mocosins have the
outstanding team in the Dixie Con
ference, and this is their Homecom
ing game. Coach A. C. (Scrappy)
Moore Is a former Bulldog and Geor
gia graduato who would take partic
ular delight In felling his alma
mater. The game Is also being
played in the Moocaslns’ back yard
in Chattanooga. Still, the Moccasins'
moccasins are one flock of hot shoes
to be in Saturday.
