CROWDS CONTINUE TO VISIT COUNTY FAIR Realtors Discuss State Development Here Bulldogs To Play Final Game Here Saturday " BY VALCO LYLE With six regular players injured to the extent ‘that they will in all probability not get to play at all, ‘the Goergia Bulldogs have finished the preparatory “work for the battle Saturday with the strong L. S. U. team, undefeated in the Southern Conference this yvear. The game begins at 3:00 o’clock on Sanford “Field. e 9 ~ Herdis McCrary, star Buylldog fullback, got into the scrimmage Thursday for a little while but he was forced to retire when he hurt mg“le‘sl anew. He was plunging {hrough for good gains on every play, scoring, fouwr touchdowsns be fore being taken out, * The varsiiy completely crushed a team composed of Red Devils and freshmen who d'd hot make the trip to Columbus. Hobby Hooks, Johnnie Davidson, John son, McCrary, and others who were in the lineup during the aft ernoon, displayed a driving at tack that resulted in gains on nearly every play; The Bulldog line, filled to the brim with re serves on account of injuries to regulars, put up a good fight, preaking through the.. npposing forward wall many times to throw Red Devil backs for losses or no gain. The Bulldog forward wall will be minus five regulars Saturday due to injuries. These are Maf fett agd Smith, ends; Co-captain Glen Lautzenheiser and Frisbee, tackles; and Haiey, gusfl. To fill these positions with reserve ma terial will be a hard task for the Red and Black mentors. Martin and Nixon will likely start at ends, Stelling will' be found in Lautzenhe'set's place, and Buci aflan or Bryant will likely fill in at the other tackle. Huff will probably replace Haley at guard. The regular backfield will like ly start with the exception of Mc- Crary. Rothstein is expected fo get the call at the fullback ‘posi tion. Hill is expected to be ready to go against the Louisianians, but his injury is still giving him gome trouble.
