big margin, slackened his pace Saturday and now has
only an outside chance of breaking the SEC record.

against Furman to build his points
to 87. With only the Georgia Tech
game remaining, Geri is 11 points
short of Steve Van Buren’s record
set in 1943.
Tech’s stout defense, which led
the nation during fmost of the
seafion, may be Geri’s toughest
wall.
- Zack Clinard, Vanderbilt’s point
kicking specialist,( lifted his kick
ing score to 33 and a tie with Geri
in placements. Clinard has not
scored a touchdown.
The Eddie Price battering Ram
from Tulane took second place in

Over 50,000 To Witness Game Here
Saturday; Bowl Hangs In Balance
By BOBE OL!VER, Sports Editor
Georgia’s football Bulldogs, winners of eight games
this season, wiil play before several bowl scouts and 50,-
000 other people here Saturday in Sanford Stadium when
Georgia Tech comes to town.
Wally Butts, who will be seek
ing to put the Bulldogs in their
sixth bowl in eight years, is sche
duled to work the squad rather
lightly this week, keeping the in
jured list down as much as possi
ble.
Although there are a few who
are suffering from various ail
ments, everyone will be ready for
the Jackets, barring further mis
haps. e
The Georgia team will have its
choice of the Sugar or Orange
bowls if they come through with
a victory over Tech. So plenty
will be at stake. Both bowls have
been previous hosts to the Geor
gians, the Orange on New Year’s
Day, 1942, and the New Orleans
classic on the first day of '47.
Joan’s Right Arm
With all angles being considered,
the success of the Bulldogs in their
battle against the Yellow Jackets
narrows down to the right arm of
Johnny Rauch, Georgia’s candi
date for All-America honors at
quarterback. As goes Rauch, so
goes Georgia. The facts are there,
~ Of course, Rauch isn’t a one
man team, Joe Geri, John Tillit
ski, Porter Payne, Bernie Reid,
Homer Hobbs, Bob Walston and
other combine to give the locals
the good ball club they have. But
it’s Rauch’s passes and all-around
play that holds the Red and Black
togéther, :
Very little rough work will be
handed out this week, with a lit
tle ‘expected on defense today.
Coach Butts may have a few aces
up his sleeve, which will be dis
played behind locked doors over
on Ag Hill. But needless to say,
Bobby Dodd will have a few tricks
awaiting the Bulldogs, so there
should be plenty of interest from
the surprise element alone to war
rant attendance of the 50,000-plus
crowd S.aturday.
Levi Jackson
Elected
Yale Captain
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 23—
(AP) — Levi Jackson’s election
as Yale's 1949 football captain was
being cheered today, both on and
off the campus.
Town and gown, alike, hailed
the native born New Havaner who
yesterday became the first negro
in history to captain a Yale sports
team and the first “townie” to
lead the Blue since Albert J. (Al
bie) Booth captured the 1931 team.
All-East Team
For Jackson, Monday was a day
never to be forgotten. It started
out with his selection to the first
string backfield on the Associated
Press All-Eastern followed by his
unanimous election as Yale's 70th
captain, Then at night, more than
400 new Haveners roared him
welcome at the annual awards
dinner of the New Haven Gridi
ron Club at which he was award
ed a plaque as the “outsanding
footll)ell player of 1948 in the Yale
bowl.”
Campus comment on the elec
tion was almost entirely favora
ble. B
Head Coach Herman Hickman,
former Tennessee star, said:
“Levi is a great boy and a fine
football player. He is an excellent
choice and I believe Jackson will
make a good captain for us. We
are all happy with his election.”

. NEW YORK, Nov. 28—(AP) —
‘Michigan rules the roost in college
football for the third straight week
by a comfortable margin in the
next-to-last Associated Press poll
of the 1948 season.
With 105 of 190 first place votes,
the Wolverines polled 1,726 points
for a lead of 103 over the idle
runnerup, Notre Dame. Michigan
finished its season Saturday by
downing Ohio State, 13-3, while
Notre Dame still has two more
games to play.
There were few changes in the
top 10 after a formful weekend.
The only startling drop was Penn
State’s tumble from sixth to 18th
place.
Army again held third place, al
though the Cadets were idle await
ing Saturday’s finale with Navy,
but North Carolina moved into
fourth place, displacing California,
by a 20-0 decision over Duke. “
The California Bears, named the
Western Rose Bowl team -against
twice-beaten Northwestern, was
ranked fifth. Their New Year’s
Day opponents who walloped Il
linois, 20-7, clung to seventh place,
one step below Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma team’s 60-7 romp
over Kansas booster the Sooners
from eighth to sixth place. South
ern Methodist also advanced two
places. S. M. U. was ranked eighth
after a 13-6 victory over Baylor.
Then came Clemson, ninth as it
was last week, and Oregon, which
finished its campaign with a 10-0
decision over Oregon State. Ore
gon advanced from 13th to 10th,
becoming the only new member
‘in the top ten.
" Vanderbilt, No. 15, and William
and Mary, No. 20, were the only
‘newcomers in the top 20 as Cor
nell and Georgia Tech dropped
out.
Of the first 20, six teams al
ready have finished their regular
seasons—Michigan, California, Or
egon, Northwestern, Minnesota and
Ohio State.
The final poll will be conducted
next weekend.

'Beau Jack
'Goes Tonite
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23 —
(AP)—Beau Jack, the former
lightweight title holder with his
sights set on the welter crown,
tests his mettle tonight agains
Chuck Taylor, of Coalport, Pa., at
Convention Hall.
Jack, the erstwhile Augusta,
Ga., shoeshine boy, twice he.d the
lightweight title but failed in a
recent attempt to wrest it away
from Champion Ike Williams.
In the Williams bout, Jack com
plained he was weakened by his
attempts to make the 135 pound
limit. He carried the fight to the
champion for four rounds but
went no farhter than the sixth as
Williams pounded him into help-.
lessness.
Now Jack feels he is just about
ready for a crack at the heacier
weight top honors, held by Sugar
Ray Robinson.
Taylor, a pretty good fighter in
his own right, is expected to pro
vide Beau with some interesting
competition.

You heard it the night before,
You may hear it tonight, and—
You should hear it a whole lot more.”
