If Commodores Lose,
Their Budding Cham
pionship Hopes Are
Blasted. Are Undefeated
In Eight Starts
Indications that the Georgia
Bulldogs would be able to. hurl
their full strength" into the fray
with the Commodores of Vander-
bile here Saturday featured *the
day’s developments in local grid
quarters.
If all of the Red-Black aces are
able to strut this week it will be
the first time Georgia has marched
to the firing line with all her grid
guns loaded since that blissful era
preceding the mauling match with
Chicago.
Much of Tuesday’s practice ses
sion was spent in shadow scrim
maging against Vanderbile forma
tions. Much effort on the part of
Dick Mulvihill, Bulldog triple-treat
man, in dropping place and drop
kick through the bars gave zeled
one to believe that the Bulldogs
mean to be well prepared to etch
out points should the task of bor
ing through the far famed Vandy
line prove fruitless.
About all the signals in Dixie
were rim off on Sanford Mead.
MUCH
INTEREST
Not only has the coming b~tUe
attained a point of interest hither
to surpassed only by the Aulv’-r
game, but there is a. genera’ . eel-
ing of uneasiness around local
football hearihs. Such a mental at
titude is brought on by knowledge
that the Red-Black is facing a
team undefeated after eight starts,
on one hand, and a realization
that the McGuginitcs have tended
to be rather fortunate in previ
ous games with Georgia.
Coach Stegeman will make lit
tle comment on the game. He is
driving his charges with unrelent
ing fury, planning effective plays
to meet Vandy formations, as re
cited to him by scouts who saw
the Mi’lionaires in action against
the Tennessee Vols.
LOSS KILLS
VANDY HOPES
Full ten thousand visitors are
been fighting only three years. His expec t e d in Athens-fo rthe game,
victory over Britton came as a The weekend not only includes the
great surprise because only a few climax of the fall social season,
months ago Jack had won all the. here, but Saturday will see the an-

vay from clever Benny Leonard,
until' the lightweight champ com
mitted a foul, terminating the bout.
The new champion lives in Eliz
abeth, N. J., and is proud of It. The
home folks are equally proud of
Mickey. He lives with his parents
and is unmarried.
Walker’s ambition after leaving
school was to become an architect.
He served as an apprentice in an
architect’s office for some time
but finally passed it all up for a
ring career. His specialty now is
designing new punches instead of
buildings. *

too high-strung. The playwright
showed humor and originality in
doing this role knd Robert Toms
was just the man for the part.

Creepy, mysterious, clammy,

that category found in the diction
ary might well he applied to that
blood-chilling mystery drama, “Tho
Cat and ‘.he Canary,” which played
at the Colonial theatre last night
to a well filled house. It was de
clared to be even more mysterious
than “The Bat,” which has such a
wide reputation for making the
hair stand on end and the. blood
curdle in the^veins.
At any rate. “The Cat and *.hc
Canary”' has intensified the mys
tery by weaving in the plot the
supernatural. It is certain that
there was never a play offered in
Athens which presented situations
so capable of amusing human ter
ror as the production of last eve
ning, and also it is certain that thi::
show may be hailed as cne of the
most crcrlk-nt-nrodnctirms ever of
fered in this city.
As for the plot, for brevity’s
