Homecoming Day Crowd
To Pack Sanford Field
Saturday For Big Game
TWO ARE INJURED
Hertis McCrary, Georgia’s plunging fullback, was taken out of
the scrimmage Wednesday afternoon with an injury to his leg.
It is though that the injury is not serious and that he will prob
ably he able to play in the game with Tulane Saturday.
Theodor: TFrisbee, giant tackle, was also out except for a few I
minutes at the beginning of the scrimmage. He received an in
jury to the arm at the beginning of the season and th> injury is |
still giving him trouble. A i
Only one more day now and then the day for the
big Homecoming game between the Georgia Buli
dogs and the strong Tulane football team. The bat
tle, which will be the first Conference game for the
Red and Black, will begin at 3:15 Saturday after
noon on Sanford Field and an admission price of
$2.50 will be charged.
It was planned to have the an
nual Homecoming affair played in
the new stadium, but rainy weath
er, a bed of rock struck on the far
side, and the fact that the field
would not e in any condition to
play on by that time, caused the
game to be shifted back on the
usual playing grounds. |
Serimmace Thursday. ‘
Apparently not satisfied with
the results of the scrimmage,
Coach Mehre announced that
heavy work would be the order
again this afternoon for the Bul!-
dogs. This will wind up the heavy
work for the Red and Black be
fore the battlée with the Green
Wave. A light signal dril]l and
limebring -up exercises will prob

anything out preasing. MeCrary
was hurt at the start of the fes
tivities a{zd Cox replaced him at
fullback. ' Frisbee was taken out
a little later with an injured arm
and Bryant took his place at tac
kle. The varsity took the field
against the Red Devils with the
latter on the offensive and run
ning Tulane plays. Quite a few
passes were thrown by the Red
LRevils and they zaught the varsity
off their feet, scoring about four
touchdowns by the aerial route.
Chick Shiver was playing end,
Coach Stegeman was nlaying in
the backfield purt of this time,
and their presence gave the Red
jérsied lads plenty of pep and
power. The Bulldog line was not
yerforming in its usual- way and
several gains were made through
it.; The varsity seemed to lacik
that coordination and snan that it
takes to get the best resulis. Im
provement alone this line in the
Thursday’s workout i 3 exnected,
and more drive added to the of

Tulane is expected to bring one

-Tulane has a good teara this

Agg'es by more than fifty points
and held Tech to two touchdowns
and Vanderbilt to a like number,
gooving ope on Vandy herself.
With MeCrary and Frisbie and
Boland and Lautzenhiser out of
the game ithe Bulldogs will be
greatly crippled. There is a good

Frigbie to get back in the game
but no chance of the last named

“From a local standpoint fate

Smith’s Reception At
Boston Is Matched By |
That Of “Lindy”’ Alone
BOSTON, Mass. — (UP) — Governor Alfred E.
Smith left a ringing ery against what he called the
reactionary element of the republican party in the
‘capital of this vital electoral state and set out Thurs
day for a twelve hour campaign through Rhode
Island and Connecticutt. |
. “The democratic nominee car
ried with him the memory of a
areat reception ns he Started on
nis second. phase of the all-impor
tant eastern Seakbcard battle.
His route was to take him
through Blackstone, Massachu
setts, into Providence. Rhode Is
land, by motor, and thereafter by
train through [artford. Water
bury, Derby, Shelton, New Haven,
Bridgeport and South Norwalk,
hefore he arrives at New York at
10:30 p. m.
His Boston appearance was an
outstanding and pleasant experi
ence from which his friends drew
deductions that he could easily
carry the state. The Boston pa-,
pers, republican and democratic,
compared the raception to that of
Colonel Charies Lindbergh,
whose demonstration was, up- to
this time, unsurpassed.
The fact that he was: saved
from the mobs of over-enthusiastic
and curious crowds was a miracle
at which even the Boston police
force marvelled. They tried to
protect he and Mrs. Smith during
the parade and they were equally
unsuccessful in their efforts to
curd the seethinz throngs at the
arena where he spoke.
Twenty persons were in the hail
with sandwiches nine hours bhe
fore he spoke and six hours later
the outgide crowvd began bulging
through the glass windows and
doors. Many suffered minor cuts
and bruises. Half a dozen women
fainted. : L
In his speech Wednesday night,
in which 13,000 persons were jam
med in the arena and 17,000 more
were connected at two other halls
by loud speakers, Smith made his
answer to the Madison Squave
Garden speech of Hoover, his re
publican opponent. He took as
his text, Hoover’s promise to “‘use
words to convey our meaning, nol
hide it.”
The candidate contended Hoo
ver’s attitude on farm velief, pro
hibition and water power was “‘a
use of language to cover up some
thing.” He quoted as advocates
of his platform upon the issue:
former President Roosevelt’s gn
hernatorial campaign In New
York.
He pictured to the audience the
possizility of Bdwin H. MeHold,
' New York republican chairman,
suggesting to Hoover in a New
York hotel room the possibilily
that a “socialism charge might be
the best answer to Smith's pro
gram.”
The nominee ogain called at
