The University football eleven will
leave for Montgomery today nt 2
o'clock to meet Auburn on tin- grid
iron. The * ■ • 'n will have a spec
lal coach f e trio * > Montgomery
and back 1 .’ the Red and
Black sup ■ ike advantage
of this o| : over with tho
team.
Although the luulsfuctory result of
the Davidson game lias greatly encour
aged the Georgia eleven, there Is still
great uncertainty ns to wliat kind of
showing “they will make against the
strong Auburn aggregation. Then, too
the team is weakened by the loss of
Davis, Hie full hack, who has been
ailed home on account of tho critic,'V
illness of ills mother.
Somehow, though, the team doesn’t
seem to lie as gloomy over such
frowns of fortune as might be expect-
and tite whole eleven Is working
its level best to prepare for Auburn.
They are all in good shape and realize
what a victory over the famous Au
burn eleven would mean for them, and
V are prepared to fight to the last
ditch. Anyway, they have the fact be
hind them that Georgia walloped Au
burn in 1906 and repeated the dose in
1907 when no one even expected tho
Red and Black, eleven to even score.
i so they will do their very best to
repeat the stunf tomorrow.
