Athens will be ane of the three
football centers of the United
States Saturday afternoon when
Georgia, the team of assorted
yvoung ‘threats which defeated
North Carolina State 20 to 10 last
Saturday despite losing 125 yards
in penalties, clashes with Tulane,
a team of triple threats and heavy
line that was downed by the Tex
as Aggies 13 to 6 last week.
Both teams will be playing their
second game of the 1933 season.
Because of their strength and na
tional rating for this fall, the Geor
gia-Tulane, game here tomorrow
will be one of the three most im
portant games in the country, Big
Graham Batchelor, Georgia's cap
tain and right end; “Little Preach
er” Roberts, Tulane's captain and
half back, and George Tessier,
Wave guard, will be making a bid
for All-American honors.
The game wilil begin at 3 o'clock
tomorow afternoon in Sanford
stadium. Tickets are on sale at
Charleg E. Martin's offices, old
Lumpkin Law schcol building, at
the intersection of Lumpkin and
Broad streets. The price is $2.25
which is somewhat of a reduction
from the admission charge of last
season.
The Tulane team, which ar
rived here thig afternoon and held
a brief practice on the stadium
field, has a four-year unbeaten
Cracker state record to uphold. Not
since 1929 has either Georgia
Tech ¢r Georgia has been to sur
vive the Green Wave.
Coach Ted Cox is convinced that
his 1933 team isn’t stronger than
that of a year ago, Last year's
team beat Texag A. & M,, Georgia,
South Carolina, Georgia Tech,
Kentucky, and lost only to Auburn
and L, 8, U. :
Starting Backfield
The Wave has more weight,
drive, and size in the& backfield,
although it is* shy Don Zimmer
man, '‘All-American halfback. John
ny McDonald, weight 193, at quar
terback; Little Monk Simons,
weight 188, at left halfback; Little
Preacher Roberts, weight 176 at
right halfback, and Joe Loftin,
weight 191 at fullback, round out
what is expected to be the starting
backfield against the Bulldogs.
All of these four backs, with the
éxception of Leftin, are triple
threats—and even Loftin can throw
passes.
Coach Cox has three good ends
this year: Charlie Kyle, a punting

Memtsas, a fine sophomore, and

Legionnaires Start Home
After Submitting Program
'Are Pledged to War on
Crime, Communism and
Economic llls |
’ CHICAGO -—(#)— America's Le
'gionnaires packed up their bags
and marched homeward Friday,
’determined on a three-fold peace
time war—against crime, commun
ism, and the economic recession.
Under the leadership of a tall
attorney of Decatur, IllL.—Edward
‘Hayes, now 42, an ensign at the
Great Lakes Naval station during
the war against Germany —the
'American Legion was definitely
committeed to aid the police au
thorities in the suppression of
crime, to oppose communism and
to help whip the depression by
supporting the NRA.
The Legion’s views on these and
a variety of other subjects, in
cluding rehabilitation for disabled
former soldiers were outlined in;
resolutions adopted Thursday be
fore adjournment of its 15th an
nual convention, which meets ne}#t
year in Miami. !
Calling upon the new national
commander to appoint a law and
order committee to study th
ecrime problem, the Legion ask,bs
that this body devise a plan
whereby it could actively partiei
pate in ‘the curbing of criminals
on both a national and state bagis.
The anti-crime resolution glse
suggested appointment of skate
law and order committees { to
study the erime situation in tpeir
communities to report back at jthe
next regular conventions of /the
state departments. Legislagion
both state and mnational, restricfing
the possession of = machine ns
“sub machine guns and lethal
weapons” to the organized military
and law enforcement , forces, jwas
suggested. )
Meanwhile the Legion plddged
itself to an “unqualified SHEDOH
and aid to constituted authorities
for the prevention and suppreksion
of crime.” r ‘
. Communism was dealt with [in a
‘resolution calling ror the depjorta
tion of alien communists, the re
fusal of entry of communists, into

of laws to punish all personsi who
“advocate the overthrow of the

Says Temperance Can
Come Only Through
Eliminating Profit
NEW YORK.— (AP) ~John D.
Rockefeller, jr., believes the only
hope of controlling: the Jliquor
problem after repeal of prohibition
lies in elimnating the profit mo
tive in liquor traffic.
He stresses the point in a state
ment which will be published as
a foreword to a report on liquor
centrol apcently completed by
Raymond B. Fosdick and Albert
L. Scott after an eight-month
survey sponsored by Rockefeller.
The first aim in a program of
liguor control, Rockefeller said in
his statement, is the abolition of
‘lawlessness, even if “the immedi
ate result is temporarily away
Ifrom temperance.”
The second aim is temperance—
l“the focusing of all the forces of
Inoclety upon the development o}
self-control an® temperance’ in
‘the use of alcoholic beverages.
“To develop the habit of tem
perance in individuals, to take up
again the slow march of educa
tion—this is the real and funda
mental approach to the problem
of aleohoi,” Rockefeller said.
“The report regards liquor tax
ation, as it should be regarded,
primarily as a helpful factor in
forwarding these objectives, and
only incidentally as a means of
producing income.
“Another - principle whieh the
report develops is that only as the
profit motive is eliminated is there
any hope of controlling the liquor
traffic in the imerest of decent
society. To approach the problem
,from any other angle is only to
tinker with it and to insure fail
urt. This point cannot be too
heavily stressed.”
Rockefeller reaffirmed his per
sonal devotion to total abstinence,
bug reiterated his belief, first made
Jknown a year ago last June, in
ithe “regrettable failure of ,the
Eighteenth amendment” and the
‘necessity for its repeal.

Improvements
PRCPOSAL IS SOUND
Plan Originated in Clarke
County = Suggests
Method for State
WASHlNGTON—(#)—Allotments
by the public works administration
Friday included a loan and grant
of $79,665 to Clarke county, Geomw
gia for a school building and road
improvements.
That a method has been evolved
by which Georgia may be able to
participate in the federal governs
ment’'s gigantic public works fund
despite the state’'s constitutional
limitations, which thus far has exs
cluded Georgia, is believed to be
practically assured by the fayoras
ble action of the public works ad
ministration on Clarke County’s
application, the first indication of
which to be received here is con=-
tained in the foregoing Associated
Press dispatch. %
This action of the outcome of a
plan originated by County Attor
'ney Tate Wright who has had
quite a lengthy correspondence
with the administration relative to
the legality and the practicability
of his proposal, and that his plan
is sound from the standpoint of
the government is evident from
the facy that the application of
Clarke c¢anty has been granted.
The money sought by Clarke
county from the public works fund
contemplated an expenditure of
$15,000 in improvements to the
court house, SB,OOO for a school
building at Princeton and the bals
ance of the allottment for *mprove
ment to secondary roads in the
county, all of which will provide
employment for a great number 0‘
laborers. Ak
But the significant feature of
Mr. Wright's transaction with
the government is that it undoubt~
edly opens the way for the state,
through its subdivisions, to obtaln
$10,000,000 or more from the public
works fund, For a good. many
weeks, representatives of the state
government have been negotiating
with the public works administras
tion with a view to Georgia’s pare
ticipation in the fund, and afte®
all overtures were rejected on th@
ground of the state’s constitutione
al limitations as to borrowing
money, it was planned to make an
appeal direct to President Rooses
velt in the hope that he would die
rect the public works administrae
tion to okeh Georgia's allotment
despite the legal obstructions, But
with the success of Mr. Wright's
plan, this perhaps will be unnecess
sary.
Mr. Wright submitted his pros
posal to the county commissioners
some weeks ago, convincing them
of its legality, and was then au. ;
thorized to proceed with the ap-+ i
plication. Tt was filed with the
Georgia advisory board who ap
