JOE ZKLLNKK |
Visitors who come to Athens Sat
urday for the annual G-Day festivities
will find the campus unlike what they
have seen in the past on this occa
sion.
On most ball-game weekends the
University campus is quite bare and
the only activity seems to be visitors
touring the cam
pus, gazing at the
old historic build
ings on North
Campus and
j marveling at such
structures as the
new science center,
rising majestically
above Sanford Sta
dium.
But this time it
will be different,
perhaps because someone fell down
on his job when he scheduled such
a "run of events” for this weekend.
...
Jl'ST TAKK Saturday! University
students will be “enjoying” their
third dose of Saturday classes of the
quarter, so the campus will be full
of students as well as tourists. The

Five Seniors End Careers
Against Florida Saturday
By KEN WYNN
It’s ‘homc-sweet-home’ for the University of (leorgia basketball team
Saturday as five Bulldog seniors close out their basketball
careers with the Florida Gators at 8 p.m. in Woodruff Hall.
The Bulldogs have compiled a .500
record in Woodruff Hall this year
with four victories and four losses on
the home court. Saturday night’s
Southeastern Conference encounter
is Georgia’s last chance to post a
winning home record and a winning
conference record.
Georgia met Florida earlier this
season in the Gator Bowt tournament
in Jacksonville nnd lost 73-58.
Georgia's chances of grabbing one
more conference victory were boosted
Monday when Florida’s coach, Nor
man Sloan, suspended three members
f his basketball squad for discipli
nary reasons.
Dismissed from the squad, tempo-
arily, were captain and forward
Bobby Shiver, starting center nnd
second leading rehounder in the SEC,
lliff Luyk, and senior Paul Mosny,
a guard.
Coach Sloan’s Gators have posted
8-4 record for a three-way tie for
second place in the conference thus
far this season.
The football team will he divided
into two squads, Red vs. White. Pete
Case will captain the Red team and
Rill McKenny will lead the White
charges.
The first G-Dny football game was
played in 1941, when Frank Sink-
wich led the Reds to a 21-0 victory
over the White team. Since thnt time,
the game has developed as a show-
place for the young talent of the
Georgia squad
. * •
SINCE THE HUDI;l>OGH lost sev
eral of their regulars from last year
many new faces will be seen in the
line-ups.
The Red line-up will have Childers
and McEachern at ends; Case and
Holmes at tackle; Williamson and
Vann, guards; Smith, center; half
backs Pennington ami Mooney; Glover,
fullback, and Saye at quarterback
For the Whites, Babb and Tornber-
lin will open at ends; Vella and
Whitehead at tackles; Allen nnd Kel
ly, guards; Hnuss, center; halfbacks
Davis nnd McKenny; Godfrey at full
back, nnd Rakostraw at quarterback
This annual conflict will end what
new bifad coach Johnny Griffith has
called a productive and encouraging
spring practice.
