On Thanksgiving Day Is
Seen as Title Tilt ‘
By KENNETH GREGORY
'ATLANTA.— () —The rapidly
diminishing list of football teams
with perfect records now includes
Vanderbilt and Alabama of the
Southeastern Conference,
l Barring an unsuspected upset
along football's rocky road, these
‘eluvons may battle for the cham
‘l:iunship on Thanksgiving day,
which would be a perfect set-up
for the season’s finale.
Stumbling blocks are plentiful,
starting this week-end. Georgia

’un successive Saturdays, may hit

There are the two games for the
{ Southeastern’s big show that bids
fadi(-u to October’s fireworks. Van

set the stage for one of the south’s
lgrea.v.est games.
Conference teams undefeated
within family circles are Vander

settled their argument in a score

Wisconsin, tied with Minnesota

Elberton plaver literally gave Jag
uar Jim the ball. And all he had
to do was gallop five yards to the
goal line. And his touchdown gal
{lop of five yards was the most
,awk\\'ard I ever saw. It was de
terrible. 1 thought sure he would
{ faint from exhaustion of the tre
mendous journey of five yards.”
*Oh, yeah,” said Jaguar Jim in
a somewhat objecting voice. “Why,
I wanted to lateral to you, be
cause I knew that when I scored,
you would eventually die from
Jjealousy. But 1 also knew that if
you received a lateral,.you would
either throw the ball up in the air

{ with it. Now, though, I wish I had
lateralled. You certainly would
have looked really funny—il don’t
know, though. That wouldn’'t have
been so funny, after all; it would
have been pathetic. It would
have been a mean, dirty trick.”
Jaguar Jim and Venomous Ver
non both played a great game

‘tons in a fit of laughter through
most of the night’s muddy encoun

But, Jaguar Jim and Venomous

Local Team Scores Twice
In Second Quarter to
Maintain Its Record
The Athens “Y” Midgets main
tained their record of no defetts
by beating a hard fighting Elber
ton team, 12-7, Saturday morning
on the Athens High school field.
The Midgets displayed a better
running attack -but failed to click
with their ypassing .“Snuffy” Smith
was the outstanding performer,
playing his best game of the sea- i
son. This hard driving fullback
gained every time he carried the
ball and gave the Elberton de
fense plenty of trouble.
The bloecking of Griffin, Maupin,
and Bennett was more éffective
than ‘in any game this season.
Cornett- at right half and Gordon
at guard, were the defensive stars !
of the “Y.” Captain Arnold, quar
terback for the granite boys, was'
the outstanding offensive star,‘
while Higginbotham, left end for !
the visitors, starred in the line. ‘
