On Bulldog Slate
By George Vaughan
Georgia meets its first SEC op
ponent of the year at 2 p. m. to
morrow when Mississippi State’s
Maroons invade Sanford Stadium
for the University’s homecoming
tilt.
Mississippi State and the Bull
dogs have met only once before,
in 1914, when the visitors, then
known as the Mississippi Aggies,
gained a 9-0 win.
As an estimated 25,000 fans
watch, State Coach “81ick” Morton
will field an entirely rejuvenated
eleven that toppled mighty Tennes
see, 7-0, two weeks ago. Last Sat
urday the Maroons thoroughly out
played a strong Baylor squad, but
lost a heartbreaker, 14-7.
Setting the Pace
Currently setting the pace In the
Southeastern Conference, Mississippi
State fielded a 1949 team that fin
ished the season with a poor 0-8-1
record. What pigskin followers for
got to notice was that Coach Morton
was quietly developing a strong
group of freshman players, augment
ing their talents with transfers from
other schools.
Joe Fortunato and Bill Stewart,
transfers from VMI. are State's No.
1 and 2 fullbacks. Quarterback
Frank Branch, operating from the T,
is the lightest man on the visiting
squad, weighing n scant 130. In
19 49 he piloted Pearl River Junior
College to an undefeated season and
a mythical national championship.
Furnish Talent
St. Mary's, the team which handed
Georgia its first tie two weeks ago,
furnished the Maroons with needed
talent when star end Tony Kotowski
transferred from the West Coast to
the Magnolia State.
Georgia this week was ranked
12th in the nntion in rushing
defense, having held opponents to
99.7 yards per game. But Mississippi
State holds fourth place, throttling
ltg opponents to 62.3 yards per con-
test.
Guard Ed Greenway, who was
married last Saturday night, hag
been reinstated and Is expected to
see action tomorrow. He lost his
scholarship because of a rule pro
hibiting marriage of players.
