firFt thing to flash on his

Thanksgiving, for the unde

and Gainesville High are to
battle fer the unofficial state
championship right here in
Athens’ own backyard.
Since the Georgia Bu’ldogs
are traveling to Birmingham,
this Athens-Gainesville game
will be the main entertain
ment for the day.
■ Many fans, from far and
wide, will witness this clash

grad, expressing his sorrow
that this year he could not be
preseat at the annual “Turkey

students in chapel Tuesday
morning, . lUchard is now go

While he was attending high

tackle of last year’s state
championship team, has start
