The Oorgia Bulldogs added the sec ond victory to their string when they defeated Hike Donahue's basketeers from Auburn by the close score of lo 32. Both teams played excellent basketball but the Plainsmen were not dull* on a par with Setgeman'a war riors. The feature’of the game -was the ezceUeat guarding of both Cheeves and Owens, Georgia's guards. Proof their prowess Is sufllelently shown by the fact that Auburn was unable ring but ala baskets In the entire twine. Pour of these were rung by Hahn. Auburn’s star forward. As in the game with Furman, Geor gla’s opponents were unable to get through Stegeman’a flre-man defense. They brought the ball to. the middle of the court time after time hut be yond this point they were unable to pass. Consequently, they were forced to depend on long shots for scores Same of these ctme perilously near the basket but after hours of anxiety they rolled out. The Georgia machine was working smoothly, much better than a week ■to. The passing was accurate but their shooting was a little bit off, due. no doubt, to the fact that the court was now to thorn. Anderson, the rangy center, was particularly* unfortunate In tbfa respect. Be shot four Bold goats end missed, at least twenty nth era by the proverbial gnat’s heel. Although the game ended comfort »My In Georgia's fewer, the ge«uU of the grot half weg by no Steens sooth ing to th* followers of the Red end Black. At thb end of the Brat period the score wee 11 to 10 lo Georgia's fa < or. The Bulldogs began the second half with a rush however, and plied up some 18 points before the Plainsmen had recovered from their dace. To pick Individual stars of the fray it no easy task. Hahn, Auburn's for ward, played * good dame, scoring four of his team's six Held goals. Wade, at right guard, was the heavy ecorer of the evening, ringing up ten points on fouls. For Georgia the playing of Cheeve3 and Owens stood out above the work of their mates. Anderson played good game but he Seemed unable to locate the basket -at In previous games. The Bulldogs left early this morn ing to meet the Mercer Baptists in Macon tonight.
