Captain Bill Hartman Will
Go Back to Full This Week
Play of Billy Mims in Mer
cer Game Yesterday Is
Reason for Shift
Several developments in the Uni
vergity of Georgia football situa
'tion were learned Saturday after
{ noon following the Bulldogs’ dull
19 to 0 victory over Mercer.
’ The biggest announcement made
iby Coach Harry Mehre in the reg
|ular “coacheg room bull session”
'was that Captain Bill Hartman
i will go back to his regular full
back post Monday, after a week’s
fling at lefy halfbacking, and that
Billy Mims, who played over half
the game vesterday as Hartman’s
substitute, would be used as regu
lar left halfback.
Loss of Sanford “Coot” Vandi
ver was a disastrous blow to the
& »ne, Fe and Harry Stevens
had been counted on for regular
duty at the half posts and now
both are on the sidelines for the
remainder of the year with inju
ries,
' Ben Erlich, a Red Devil, will be
promoted to the varsity next week
and will aid Vassa Cate and Jim
Cavan at right hails, Oliver Hun
nicutt and Mims will handle the
other halfback job.
Andy Roddenberry, little Macon
quarterback who has beepn sharing
signal-calling dutieg with stumpy
Lew Young, of Memphis, Tennes
see, will probably play very little
football from now on until the
cose of the season.
Roddenberry, knocked cold In
the last three games in which he
played, may have a head injury
trat will make iy dangerous fol
him to_play. Roddenberry's injury
ig believed similar to that of Bob
Law, center on last year’s team.
Hartman, who has a slightly
bruised knee, was not used much
vesterday because Coach Mehre
wisely refused to take any chan
ceg on a more serious hurt. With
out Hartman Georgia is a team
without a hope and there isn't go
ing to be any unnecessary chan
ces taken on him missing tha.
Tennessee game next week.
Georgia’'s showing yesterday and
in the Holy Cross game has sup
porters and coaches worried plen
ty. Coaeh Mehre credits some of
the listlessness to the fact thal
many regulars have had to play
practically 60 minutes on every
game this year, and the beatings
they have taken are beginning to
tell,
However, next week will tell. the
story. ‘T'ennessee, despite a defeat
and a tie on itg record, is still re
garded as one of the bhest teams
of the section and should Georgia
win that one, or even play a
close game, its stock would soar
to the top. But, unless there f{r

’Gators Nosed Out
By Maroons, 14-13
' STATE COLLEGE, Miss.—{(#f)—
Piling up a safe lead in the sec
und quarter and guarding it care
fully through the third, the State
College Maroons barely nosed out
Florida, 14-13 Saturday after the
Gators staged an uprising ip the
final period before 7,600 fans.
Both scoring sprees kicked up
unexpectedly, The Maroons broke
’Lne ice with a touchdown from arn
‘intercepted pass early in the third.
And it was James Goolsby, sopho
more center, who started things
cff by taking one of Fred May
berry’s hot heaveg on his 46 and
racing untouched for the score,
The second score came with al
most equal rapidity. Jack Nix
took in Mayberry's punt on his 39
and streaked it up the sideline te
the Gatory 41 before being knocked ‘
out of bounds. Four plays carried
to the 4 and Bernie Ward, sub
bing for Nix, tosed to Victor Dix
on in the end zone for the score,
The Gator uprising came on a|
single play, after the Maroons had
throttled the Gators’ running and
passing plays. It was Moon Mul
lins, fullback, who arove through;
blocked ang picked up a punt to
score. He also added the extml
point. |
KEred Mayberry uncorked a fine
pass to Paul Brock that carried
from the Gator to the Maroon 20.
Three plays lost five, and then
M;a,yfierry tossed to Mulling on the
20. He zig-zagged his way across
the goal line. His kick was low.

Dick Nardi, halfback, retained
his scoring record for the season
by counting the lone touchdown in
the third period after the most
/bitter of battles. Nardi has one
‘touchdown in each of the four
‘Buck contests.
|, The Ohioans took advantage of
| the game’s big ‘break” to crash
thrgugh.
The break came just a minute
after Northwestern had been re
pulsed twice, once on the Ohio
four-yard miark and again on the
. seven, from where Fullback Jack
Ryan missed a place kick.

Howard Wgedebrook booted to the

through to block the Kkick, and
Warren Chrisenger, substitute Ohio
guard, fell on the ball on the 26.
Following three line smasheg by
Whsylik, Rabb and Wiedebrook,
Nardi slipped over guard for the
touchdown.
The point after touchdowp was a
classic., Co-captain Quarterback
Jim MeDonald elected to place
kick for the point. Voigt, North

to block the kick, but Mie Kabealo
picked up the ball and tossed it to

ALABAMA WINS OVER
GEORGE WASHINGTN
Crimson Tide Not So “‘lm
pressive’’ Saturday, Says
Dillon Graham ‘
BY DILLON GRAHAM
WIASHINGTON — (#) — Ala
bama’'s Crimson Tide, striking once
with itg versatile running attack
and twice through the air, bumped
George ‘Washington university
from the wunbeaten ranks and
earned a 19 to 0 intersectional vic
tory Saturday before 24,666 fans.
The triumph was Alabama’s fifth
of the campaign. It sent the
Crimsong back to settle their oth
er accounts in the South with a
perfect record and with their cus
‘tonfary long-range vision of a
Rose Bowl journey.
Pehaps it was the mucky con
dition of the field following heavy
rain or maybe the natural let
down of a team recupertaing from
its tough game last week with
strong Tennessee, but, whatever
ghe cause, Alabama did not look
like a championship contender.
It took the Sotherners more than
a quarter to set the speak to their
rushing offensive, and although
they won handily, they were far
from alert to a half dozen oppor
tunities George Whshington er

except for a wild aerial barrage
that clicked briefly T the last
period, made few aggressive ges

more than they last rushing al

Georgia End Played Quar
ter Because Seriously Il
Mother Wanted It
BY F. M. WILLIAMS
On the green turf of Sanford
field ~ Saturday afternoon was'
written one of the most dramatic
stories in footbaly history at the
Universiy of Georgia.
Few knew it. In fact, none knew
it but the Georgia coaches and
four of five players—and one fan.
Marvin Gillespie, who started at
right end for the Bulldogs and
played jam-up for the first quar
ter, only to be yanked at the start
of the second period anq sent up
the.long hill to the showers, is the
boy who wrote that dramatic
story, and it was fine an example
of courage any boy hag ever
shown., s
Gillespie di@n’t know he would
play when he went to Memorial
hall an hour or so before game
time. He kneéw wals mother lay
desperately ill at her home in El
berton and he knew at any mom
ent he might be calleg to her bed
side.. For that reason Coach Harry
Mehre had told him, “Marvin you
don’t have to play today. You
needn’t dress for the game.”
And Marvin wasn't planning to
dress until his brother, Milton
Gillespie, drove up in front of the
gym about 2 o’clock.
“I've ¢ome to take you home,
mother’s in a dying condition,”
Milton told his brother. Marvin
‘got up and started out to the car.
The moment he had dreaded for
weeks hag come. He knew his
mother’s condition, and during the
week just past spent one day and
one night with her, returning only
when, she rallied and her condition
improved.
. “Wait,” Milton tolg the football
player, one of the most popular
fmen on the squad. “You can’t
leave now because mother wants
you to play téday—play your best
—even if it be for only a little
while.”
Coach Mehre heard. He asked
Marvin if he wanted to play, and
Marvin told him he wanted to do
what his mother requested. So he
pulled on his uniform and went
out there for a quarter and gave
all he had for his school—and his
mfother. :
And thep the went homé to her.
Late last night Mbps. Gillespie
wag still living, but her condition
is serious.

Touchdown on Cornell
BY ALAN GOULD
NEW HAVEN, Conmn. — i{#) —
Yale overcame Cornell's gallant
resistance in ‘the mud and rain
Saturday with a 9 to 0 conguest
topped off by a dazzling 67-yard
touchdown gallop ip the final per
iod by Clinton Bdward Frank of
Evanston, 111, the Elis’ captain
land All-America halfback.
A crowd of 40,000 in the Yale
lßowl saw the talented Blue tean:
’ou,tplay the Ithacang from start
to finish, achieve its fourth straight
lvi-ctory in as many games, and
strengthen its prospects for an
| eastern “Ivy ° league” champion
ship.
Fullback Dave Colwell's 39-yard
field goal from placement, early
in the game, gave Yale all the
points it needed, as things turn
ed out, but Frank made it more
convineing by breaking loose in
tne final quarter for the game’s
most brilliantly executed play.
Dashing into the clear off his
own left tackle; 'rank twice shift
ed gears and direction, shook off
’thr‘ee tacklers unaided, ang finally
had his path cleared with the aid
of a fine block on Cornell's safety
iman by Al Hessberg.
| The touchdown climaxed a char
acteristically brilliant all-around
day’s work by the Eli leader,
The Yale captain gained an ag
gregate of 145 yards by other
routes from scrimmage out of
Yale’s total rushing advance of 230
vards. Frank- also completed twe
passes for gains of 44 yards. K . -
Cornell's rugged line, paced by
Holand, thrust back three. Yale
threats with the goal line from 10
to 20 yards. Away, but the big Red
forces were out-classed on the of
fensive from gtart to finish.
A New Engand farmer owned a
3-acre sidehill pasture that was
practically worthless. He set out
1,980 seedling white pines op the
hillside, Twenty vears later the
farmer died, and among his as
sets was this small tract of
young pine. Much to her surprice,
his widow was offered S3OO for the
tract and sold it. About 15 years
later a lumber company paid sl,-
000 for it. ¥ :
One thirty-second of an inch is
hardly discernible to the eye, but
that much added tg the average
staple length of cotton should
mean in excess of $8,000,000 more
in the pockets of growers in one
year. g i

Here of 19-0 Triumph
Saturday :
By JACK REID
It was—for the most. papt a
helluva Homecoming for Georgia
students, alumni, and the team, {t.
self. .
Although the Bulldogs Pulled
enough offensive tricks :to ty
back the scrappy Bears, 19. to 0
'some 5,000 spectators—about' pay
the number expected—sary Geor
gia lose her second regular: pair.
lhack. Sanford “Coot” Vandiver, the
-brilliant Atlanta right Hhalf, haq to
ibe ccarried off the fiel early iy
i'the first quarter due to a broken
right leg—a terrible price to pay
[for beating Mercer. ¢
" The team’s ghowing, as. a whole,
fell below expectations, ‘and aboyt
the only thrill afforded- the augj
ence came in the form of a’ series
of announcements whieh '~ téld ‘of
Tech's 21 to 0 shelling by Auburn,
Vassa Cate, the fleét-footed,
sophomore right half, - did how
ever, supply a spectacular touch
to the fracas when he ‘took the
opening kick-off of the =second
half, and raced 85 yards straight
down the middle of the ‘fleld for
the touchdown. His pay-dirt dash,
accomplished by sheer speed and
timely blocking, was ' far - and
away the feattre of the game.
With Vandiver ' kayoed for the
season early :in the firs¢ quarter,
and Captain Bill Hartman forced
out in the second period with a
minor kaiee injury, Georgia's of
fensive burden fell almost entire
ly on the corps of rookie runners,
And, rightly enough, sophomotes
accounted for all 19 of Georgia's
points,
In the Pulldog line, however, the
veterans aogyed the spotlight, 1t
had orizinally been planned to
give the first stringers as much
rest as possible, but Coach Harry
Mehre foind it necessary to. use
his varsity ciub most of the way.
Sensational Quinton Lumpkin was
slated to be given a comparative
holiday after playing the. full 60
minutes the past three Saturdays,
But the situation was about the
same today, and the Magcon junior
did not come out of the Red and
Black lfneup until the lapt two
minutes of pfay. As usual, he was
the spearhead of the Bulldog de
fensive. A !
After lagging through 'a ’score
less first quarter, the Georgia club
finally managed to shéve (over a
tally late in the second period
when Billy Mims, Atlanta:supho
more, sliced through right tackle
from the seven yard line, after a
brilliant 82 yard sprint by Cate
had put the ball in scoring post
tion.
When Cate opened the second
half with his 85-yard touchdown
jaunt, it appeared that ' Mercer
might yet have a one-sided shell
ing administered to her. But the
Bears responded by driving from
their own 25 to Georgia’s three
before the Bulldogs held’ them to
four downs and took possession of
the ball. ; g
Georgia's third six-pointer came
late in the game whem the spec
tators were slowly filing ott of the
stadium. An intercepted pass bY
Walter Troutnman gave ffie Buli
‘dogs the ball on their own 43 yard
line, from which spot Jim Cavan
led a drive to the Mercer two yard
line. On fourth down, Oliver Hun
‘nicutt circled right end for the
score. :
-~ Statistics of the game were not
S 0 close, but yet not as one-sided
‘as many expected. Georgia made
12 first downs to 9 for the Bears
and amassed 306 yards rushing to
162 for the Mercerites, ‘The Bears,
however, gained 42 yards through
‘the - air, while the Bulidogs were
‘unable to complete a pass in si¥
attempts. : sl
. Cate led the _{ndividual yardage
gains, In 10 tries, the Brunswick
sophomore’ netted 95 yards. Doo”
ley . Matthews came second, gain
ing 70 yards in 11 tries, put Cavan
had a higher average With 3¢
yards in 5 attempts. Al Owen dia
‘trogan work as a . ball carrier
for’' the Bears. He ran. with . the
pall on 22 occaslons, netting & 1o
tal of 87 yards.
