Football Game To
Be Staged Here To
Be Real Stuff; Is
Benefit, Affair; To
Improve Bankhead
; At Court
The • football game that la
being .arranged for Sanford
Field at an early date between
the /University of Georgia
team'and Oglethorpe will be a
regular he-man affair and tho
statement that It will be in
tie nature of a “scrimmage"
with the coaches stopping the
progress of play to explain
defects to the participants Is
erroneous. If such thing hap
pens the offending side will be
liable to penalties, just as if it-
were attempted In any other
game. /
This fs the first time that
such a venture has been at
tempted in this section of tbe
country and it is believed that
the game will prove a popular
and interesting one. It wiU be
played as a benefit for Tony
Prys^, 'star basketball player
on the Georgia fresbmsn team
last year' who has later de
veloped a dreaded disease and
who must have immediate
hospiul and climatic treat
ment U his Ute Is saved. The
admission price to the game
will fbo 11.00 and all over •*
pensss will go for the Pryse
benefit.
