With all the preparatory work finished, with
Herdis McCrary, Bobby Hooks and Theodore Fris
bee suffering with slight injuries, and with ITke Bo
land out indefinitely, the Georgia Bulldogs are bid
ing time until the whistle blows at 3:15 down en
Sanford Field Saturday afternoon to start them
against the strong Tulane feotball team in Georgia’s
annual Homecoming game. Vi
Additional seats have been
erected on the south side of the
field for the students to occupy,
giving the space usually alloted to
them in the grandstand to be filled
by others. Arrangements have
been made to accomodate at least
7,000. people, and .that numbex or
may-e moré is expected to be on
hand for what promises to be the
most colorful game ot the year Tor
the Red and Black. A 'There are
penty of seats left, but they are
going fast, so 'it vehooves those
in search of choice sets to get
‘them at_once.
A special train will bring the
Tulane plavers and a host,ot sup
pgl‘ters to the * Classic City.”’ 'Lne
special will arrive at 11:30 Satur
day morning over the Seaboard.
Reports from New Orleans states
that quite a bunch is accompany
ing the team-to Athens, and that
both players and supporters are
confident of winning over the
Georgians. -
* The final serimmage before the
Homecoming geme was held
Thursday afterncon. The Bull
dogs showed somewhat of a re
versal of form in yesterday’s
workout over the one of Wednes
day in which the Red Devils ran
ihrough them, threw passes that
were good for touchdowns, and got
the best end of the argument al
together. The vursity was divided
intg three squadz in the practice
Thursday i“ut only one team was
used for anv length of time
liainst the Red Jersied lads.
This team was on the defensive
u%ainst Tulane plays for about
thirty minutes and then put on th»
offensive. The varsity defensive
work was good, and the oppositicn
failed to gain with any consisten
cv. After the Varsity was given
the ball, they azain showed their
superiority and scored ‘several
markers. Rothstein, at full, run
ning in the place of McCrary. who
was not at practice on account of
an anjury received Wednesday,
was doing some good gaining.
Waugh was also getting off for
some good gains, as well as some
of the others.
McCrary did not come to prac
tice at all Thursday and Bobby
Hooks did not scrimmage any.
MeCrary hurt his leg in Wednés
day’s workeut, but it is expected
that he will be able to eet in the
wame Saturday. Hooks wi'l in all
vrobability be rcady by that time
too, but it is nossible that neither
he nor MeCrary will be in the
opening lineup. Frishee, out with
an injured arm Wednesday, was
back in the scrimmage Thursday
and ‘he will be ready for the
Homecoming game.
A light signal drill and limber
ing up exercises Friday after
noon completed the preparatorv
work efore the game for the Red
and Black squad.
"The BuMdogs will be out to give

ATLANTA, Ga. —(UP)~ The;
Department of Agriculture’s cot- |
tsn crop estimates were attackedi
in a statement Fridav by El{gene
Talmadge, Georgia Commissioner
of Agneculture. ‘
Talmadge sata a survey by his|
agenis revealed the 1928 crop inj|
this state short 219,000 bales from
the . gcvernment estimate of 1,060~
000,
“If the federa: cotten <lreau
has made this bad mistake in all
other cotton states,” he said. “the
serious error exists in the seti
mate for the entire crop.”
“The official report of the fed
eral bureau estimated the Georgia
cotton crop for 1928 at 1,060,000 |
bales. When ] compared these
figures with the estimate of last
vear’s crop compiled by the same |
bureau, which was 1,100,000 bales, *
my suspicions were at once arous-|
ed that the federal bureau had !
made a great mistake for either
last year’s crop or this year’s.”. |
He then went on to explain tha¥
for ten days forty-six men had |
made out 1,423 “sworn reports”
from every ecounty.
“These reports.show that this
vear’s cotton crop will not exceed'
841,000 bales of ecotton.’ If thiz|
same bureau has made this bad a,
mistake in every state the cotton
arowers of the south have horre a
