Georgia's “Bulldogs” evolved
from what Is believed to be the
iastf scrimmage before tho Auburn
game Tuesday afternoon. Tho
candidates spent one oftho most
strenuous afternoon# work, since
the ndVent of practice, It is report
ed. and the squad will be In fine

A long and gruelling scrimmage. In
preparing the squad for the game.
The Georgia-Auburn game always
occupies the spotlight among the
southern grid contests, and this year
promises to be no exception,
umbus has proved In days gone by that
she Is an Ideal host for this yearly
clash and thousands of people arc on
hand for the opening kick-off. All at
tendance records are expected to be
shattered Baturday.
Welcoming to ail Red and Black sup
porters Is that Ed Bass, who has been
out since the middle of last week with
a bad ankle, may-be In condition to
pla.v against the Plainsmen. Weihrs
tl Tom Windham are the only other
varsity men nursing injuries.
It is very probable that the entire
squad, consisting of around twenty-
five men win make the trip to Colum
bus. The squad will leave Athens Fri
day morning.
Both elevens are out for victory and
A hard fought contest will result.
Auburn defeatedthe Georgians last
year and this has been on their mind
since last year drubbing, and nothing
less il«an a win over the "Tigers from
the Plains- will satisfy, but Auburn
will wage a mighty battle.
Special rates for the gome have been

Plowing back ;
the earnings
In the ten years ending- 1920 freight traffic
on the Southern Railway System more than
doubled. This was a vety much larger gain
than was shown by the railroads of the
country as a whole. The South whs growing
faster than the rest of the country.
The Southern had to meet the test but we
had provided for such a demand. In these
ten years we had expended $104,000,000 of
new capital to increase the carrying capacity
of our lines.
Our double-track had been increased from
443 to 1,021 miles; yard tracks and sidings,
■ from 2,786 to 3,351 miles; the tractive power,
of our locomotives had been increased 40
per cent; our average freight trainload had
mounted from 274 to 500 tons, a notable gain
in operating efficiency.
I"'
Of the $104,000,000 expended for additions
and betterments, $21,000,000 only was ob
tained by the sale of new securities. The
other $83,000,000 was taken frorfi^eimings
and used in the improvement of the properties.
The upbuilding of the Southern Railway Sys
tem to keep pace with the South has been
planned with an understanding of the trans
portation needs of the South by men bred in
the traditions of the South to know its problems.
The Southern serves the South, and it will
serve the greater South of the future.
