Moatk. G. 1. A. A. Decided. 1
Coach Rentz’s football eleven faces-,
the heaviest schedule in its history
next month, when Riverside, Univer
sity School, Monroe und Gordon all
come here for games.
The four teams coming are the
choice of the G. I. A. A. and in the
result hung the title of the associa
tion. The Milledgeville fans have
never before been treated to such
choice menu of games. AU of them
will be the prep classics of the st
and great crowds are expected
attend them.
Opening the month on Nov. 4th,
with Coach Hub Dowis’ Riverside Ca
dets they will face their bitterest ri
vals of the season. Riverside has been
vietorous in the past two seasons,
and the ted and black will battle for
revenge. The cadet team is the best
in many pears and they are priming
themselves for the month ahead.
On Armistice Day the University
School for Boys of Atlanta come
here for a game. This team is the
best of the Atlanta city league and
is always a strong contender for the
championship. They have a strong
team this year and when they meet
G. M. C. one of the best holiday bat
tles in the state will be in progrera.
Red Barron and his Monroe Ag
gies arc scheduled for November 18.
With little Red Barron, the last of
the Barron brothers, a star of the
team, Milledgeville will have the op
portunity of seeing the map that is
predicted to be the greatest star in
a few yeras. He is ever greater than
Coach Red, it is raid.
Thanksgiving day will bring tha
ancient rivals Gordon to Milledge-
vQlc. The Gordon team has been the
Thar having opponent for nupy
Wars and the two laams always tat-|'
tie to the finish. The Gordonites wfcre
victorious last year, and with prac
tically the same team this year an
other thrilling game is anticipated.
Out of this four game schedule
will come the champions of the G.
I. A. A. and if the cadets should
through they would in proba
bility be crowned the champions
without a post season game.
