. Clodfeller Seeking A Comeback;
' Likes Georgia, Tech And Clemson
B (Following is the weekly report by the Eanner-Herald’s inter
¢ nationally-known football forecaster, Bozo Clodfeller goes into
. battle this week with an .833 percentage, compiled on 144 games
i picked right, 29 wrong and five ties.)
i BY BOZO CLODFELLER 111
Here's hoping that “upset week” is behind, although
not soon forgotten, and with greater expectations for the
future, we'll dig into another week’s toil with vim and
vigor.
* WE'VE HAD our ups and downs this year, but all in all have
compiled a better average than the two previous seasons at the task
of predicting football games. But after all, we Clodfeller’s always
were successful people. I'm the besi of ihe iot, I suppose.
§ 'Ole Bozo is anxious to get into the thick of things, so I'll cut the
gab and get right at the problem at hand. Place your bets!
GEORGIA OVER AUBURN — The Bulldogs fooled us last week,
‘ad almost let things go too far against the Florida 'Gators. Perhaps
he Georgians will get back in the groove tomorrow against Auburn.
t least here’s hopin%, for we’re going along with'em again for a
ywerhouse victory, GEORGIA 35, AUBURN 13.
i . Georgia Tech Over Alabama — After that defeat by Tennessee
Jackets will be a mean bunch to handle. And perhaps there will
a dry field this trip. Alabama’s sophomore outfit doesn’t have the
to hold back the Techsters, so we see the Doddmen bouncing
k, but good.
¢ CLEMSON OVER WAKE FOREST — Flip a coin on this one and
ust hope the right side turns upright. Undereated Clemson will be
%ing its bowl hopes on the line against the fast-moving Deacons.
seé two clubs are just about as evenly matched as you can find,
e crew getting the breaks will ame out on top. Come on Clemson!
v+ Army Over Pennsylvania — Those Black Knights from the banks
‘the Hudson are slightly terrific. Penn dropped a 13-0 game to Penn
last week and don’t seem to be as strong as was forecasted at
‘beginning of the season. A tough battle, but this corner sees Army
14 points—at least, :
% *MI.;SISSIPPI OVER TENNESSEE — Everybody seems to be
jumping on the Vol bandwagon. Can’t see it. Ole Miss has the offense,
us defense, to handle the Bob Neyland crew. By two touchdowns. ,
"~ BAYLOR OVER TULANE — Bozo is climbing out on a limb on
this one. Bob Woodruff has a pretty good team out there in the South
gt, and Tulane has been going along too smoothly. There's little
ga‘éjs for this decision except the famous ‘“‘Clodfeller. Hunch”.
® " Florida Over Kerntucky — That exhibition the *Gators put on
gawn in Jacksonville ‘l,gst week is good ernough for me. Kentucky had
so press to tie a so-so Villanova team last week, and have lost a couple
of their star, who were kicked off the squad for breaking training
ules, We see Mr. Hunsinger having a field day.
. Mississippi State Over L. 8. U. — Why don’t the Bengals give up?
4 Penn State Over _Temp‘le — State has gotten over their big
ebstacie in dumping Penn, and are now sailing for an undefeated sea
son and a possible bowl bid. ITn a walk.
Vanderbilt O'ver Marshall (?) — Who are these Marshall guys?
Never heard much about’em, but Vandy will veat their pants off, they
have everybody else’s of late. = et pion e
' . Kansas Over Kansas State — Last week we called the Jayhawks
to trim “Open Date’’, After looking over the scores we see that J. V.
giku’ boys won, so we'll stick to them again.. Might as well, Kansas
State hasn't won but one gameé in thxxe years.

my ‘“Geek” Lovern, tall forward,
and Ted Short, towering center,
are setting the pace,
Bill Compton, Fred Leathers,
and Bobby Moody are also look
ing good. All of these have had
previous exp on Athens

‘are all showing improvement.
The Trojan cagers will open the

LaPerriere plans to have two days

Pressure On SEC Heads
In Tomorrow's Battles
ATLANTA, Nov. 12.—(AP)—The Southeastern Con
ference football race, rolling and rocking after seven
rough weeks of upsets and distemper, can’t be won this
week, but the four leaders have to win to remain on top.
~ The Georgia Bulldogs with
four conference victories and no
defeats must win their two re
maining league games to cinch
the championship unless Georgia
Tech, Mississippi and Tulane lost
Saturday.
Georgia meets an Auburn team
Saturday in Columbus, Ga., which
has given little or no trouble to
any other SEC member. However,
the Plainsmen always have been
hard on Georgia in tHeir 56 years
of football.
Following Auburn the Bulldogs
meet Furman and then comes the
game which may decide the cham
pionship — Tech-Georgia in Ath
ens, Nov. 27.
The second ranking team in the
conference — Georgia Tech —
doesn’t have to worry about its
unbeaten record any longer, Ten
nessee took care of that last week:
Tech must play Alabama Satur
day in Atlanta without Frank
Ziegler, a leading All-Southeast-
ern fullback candidate.
. Ziegler, - whose fumble . gave
Tennessee its first touchdown,
broke his hand Wednesday in
practice and may miss the remain
der of the season..
Like their fellow Georgians, the
Yellow Jackets are-a strong pick
to win in its sector of the football
battle between the states of Geor
gia’ and Alabama.
Mississippi, deefnding champion
and one-time ieader this season
has the toughest job of all to re
main in the top four. The biggest
game in the conference will be in

Alumni meeting here last night
that college football has become

which have the means of attract

“The day when you could get

- While schgol ' loyalty might

continued, ‘“even the gift of a

He explained he was neither

The Code limits the amount of

Bulldogs Heavy Favorites To Take
Tigers In Colorful Columbus Tilt
COLUMBUS, Ga., Nov. 12.—(AP)—Auburn and Geor
gia, who started college football in this part of the coun
try way back in 1892, will meet here for the 52nd time
tomorrow. Its one of those traditional games in which the
favorite does not always win.
Tornadoes
At “Y” Win
First Game
The Y. M ,C. A. Tornado Cub
intraclass gridsters have finally
broken into the victory column as
they blew the Thunderheads yes
terday 13 to 6.
The Thunderheads played the
game without the services of reg
ulars Frederick Schuster, Edward
Dudley and Co-captain Rolyn
Massey. Massey has been out for
some time with the mumps and
Dudley was down for the first
time this season with his leg in a
cast. .
Stars of Game
Starring for the winners was
the entire backfield composed of
Co-captains Valdon Smith and
Billy Howell, Tommy Matthews,
and Alston Steiner. In.the line the
standouts were Westy Westervelt,
Boozie Newton, Earl Lavender,
David Thurmond, and Thomas
Rogers.
For the losers the top-notchers
were Jimbo Laßoon in the back
field and David Bell, Emory La
vender, and Charlie McDonald in
the line.
The game went scoreless in the
first qurater, but drawing blood
first in the seecond quarter were
the Thunderheads who scored on
the most spectacular play of the
tilt. Co-captain Leon Farmer
threw a long pass into the waiting
arms of David Bell, and after tak
ing in the pass Bell was hit im
mediately, but as he fell he lat
eralled to Laßoon who scampered
over for the score. The entire play
covered 50 yards. The try for the
extra point failed.
In the same period Co-captain
Smith of the winners went over
for a touchdown climaxing a sus
tained drive of 60 yards. Howell
hit the center of the line for the
extra point.
The third quarter went score
less, but in the last stanza Howell
sewed up victory for the Torna
does when he went through the
center of the line for four and
pay dirt. The try for the eéxtra
point was no good.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1343,
Georgia, leading the Southeast
ern Conference and keeping an
open ear for bowl bids, is a pro
hibitive favorite. Auburn has tak
en five thumpings in a row against
SEC competition.
Even Georgia Coach Wally
Butts, a master of pre-game wor
rying, is not able to work up much
pessimism over the outcome.
But Wally gives it the old col
legt try like this:
“Auburn has a big, tough line
and Georgia can’t afford to take
the Plainsmen lightly. They al
ways point at us and I'm not for
getting 1942 when they wrecked
my Rose Bowl team.”
Memories of 1942 are among the
reasons 2Z,ooo.fans will be on
hand. That was the year Georgia
had All America Frank Sinkwich
and Charley ‘Frippi as halfbacks.
The club had brushed aside its
early opponents and had routed
Florida, 75 to 0. Florida had beat
en Auburn, 6-0.
Won, 27-13
Monk Gafford, now with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, and other Au
burn backs didn’t believe the ex
perts who said they hadn’t a
chance. They ran up the middle
all day for plenty of yardage to
get a 27-13 victory.
l Gafford’s smaller and younger
brother, Freddie, is a halfback on
lthis Auburn ‘eam. Mention of his
name over stadium loud speakers
is apt to give the Georgia support
ers a few nightmarish shudders,
ibut an Auburn victory would be
. the top upset of the 1948 season.
! The two offensive stars of Geor
‘gir's 28-6 victory last year will
be on hand tomorrow. Johnny
‘Rauch, All America candidate,
| will start at quarterback. Joe
| Geri, a sub in 1947, is now a start
ing left halfback and leading
{ Southeastern Conference scorer.
| To make the prospect even less
pleasing for the Auburn folks, sev
eral Tiger regulars are injured,
;and may not get into the contest
at all.
! The series now stands at 25 vic
tories for Georgia, 21 for Auburn
iand five ties.
’Union Beats
'Hudson High
. 1g
Staging last-half drives that
ended in two scores, Union Bap
tist Institute outscored Hudson
High of Macon on the Athens
High practice field yesterday af
ternoon, 13-6.
The first Union drive came ear
ly in the third quarter after a
first half that saw neither side
produce a serious threat. Taking
a punt after the Hudsonites.had
been unable to go anywhere, the
locals drove %all the way without
relinquishing the ball. They scor
ed on a plunge within a dozen
plays and kicked the extra point
to lead, 7-0.
The second drive came in the
last stanza when Union intercept
ed a Hudson pass and scored after
two line bucks to climax a 40-
yard drive. Hudson struck back
in the closing minutes on the
deadly passes of their ace quar
terback, but failed to convert.
The end of the game saw Union
in the midst of another drive to
ward goal.
