Georgia's Schedule Is
Pretentious One
BY AUBURN OWENS.
What arc Georgia's prospects for
a Mticcrssftil foot l*ill season this
coming fall? And will she have the
necessary reserve strength to carry
her through the moat pretentious
schedule ever attempted by a south
ern eleven? Those are the two
questions new going th* rounds
milling all followers of the Red and
Black. Upon the answer to the
latter question will depend almuat
entirely the answer to the former,
one glance at the schedule will be
enough to make her more stout
hearted supporters shake their
heads with grave misgivings. Open
ing the season ngatnsfhe Mercer
Baptists, the Bulldogs take on with
headache-giving succession the best
grid talent of the south and east
with not one Intermission, until the
final whistle of the final game. Not
satisfied with one game & week.
Coach Woodruff# charges will meet
the Thin lied Line of Alabama on
Thanksgiving Day and Centre Col
lege on the Saturday following. So
unless the Athenians boast a plen
tiful supply of reserves their am
bition may bring them the same
fate as that of the Illustrious Ho
man,
The Red and Black will bo minus
the services of five of last year's
regulars who have gone the way
of all who have served their al
loted time for their Alma Mater.
And a* ha* been said from time
Immemorial by school annual* all
ou r the country of departing ath
lete*. "their place* will he hard to
fill." However, this hackneyed
phrase may. many fear, prove to be
painfully true ere the eeason's
Ewan sung be sung.
COACHING STAFF
IS STRONG ONE.
In one department, at least, the
Bulldog* will not lack strength. And
that will be the coaching etaff.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA.
WANTS EXCURSION
TO CHARLOTTE FOR
TYGER-BEE GAMES
Sporting Editor,
The Herald.
As Augusta Is to play in Char
lotte on August 21-22-23, would It
not be a grand idea to have the
Southern railroad run an excursion
there for the games? In conversa
tion with one of the officials yester.
day he spoke very favorably of the
excursion, and Is to take It up with
other officials at once. Now come
on, fans, let's get our heads to
working and get this excursion.
Let’s go with the boys and pull for
them on "Rube” Wilson Day at
Charlotte. We should win two of
those games. I am sure three hun
dred fans could and would leave
here at 6 a. m. on the 21st and ar
rive In Charlotte at 2 p. m., two
hours and a half before the ball
game. Get busy—only nine more
days left.

adopted by the powers that be,
which should mean a dazzling of
fensive hacked by a perfect func
tioning defensive.
To fill the shoes of the noble Joe
Rennett, last season's captain and
tackle and twice honored by selec- j
tlon on the mythical all-southern,
there will be Curtis Luckey and I
Arnold Happ. recruited from the
freshmen ranks. All who followed
the fortunes of the far famed fresh
men team of last fall know what
these two men can do. There will
nlsu be eseveral other promising can
didates from among the reserves to
make them hustle for the honor.
However, the biggest problem
staring the coaches In the face Is
the pivot position, as ltoose Day, th<
hero of the Auburn game last No
vember. will not return to claim his
place, having graduated In June.
There will be at least four contend
er* to scrap for the Job with Neal
Wilder and Jack Curran at present
appearing as most likely. The two
guard position* will he well taken
care of by Spencer Grayson and
Ike Joselove, who will be complet
ing their third year on the Bulldog
roster. The other candidates who
will merit serious consideration In
selecting the varsity, will he John
Tlppln, Ralph Levle. "Tiny" Groves,
Walter Grover and “Jelly" Rogers.
The flanks will be occupied by CapL
John Fletcher. Sandford Thompson,
Ken Howard and "Skeet" Johnson.
It ts In the hackflehl, however, that
the Bulldogs are expecting to
shine. While readily admltttruwthat
th# loss of the fleet cTeck
ley will be sorely felt, a bright con
stellation looms above the horizon
In the persons of George Merton,
"Shaky" Kaln. "lkey" Sherlock.lleh
ble and 1R lilt from the w onder
freshman team of last season. As
a nucleus for this promising array,
we have Trany Randall. Jake But
ler. Marvin Kilpatrick Tom Nel
son. Charlie Welhre and "Scrappy"
Moore to supply what varsity ex
perience the neophyte* may lack. So
unless all predictions are false.
Georgia le certain to turn cut a
vastly Improved mnehtne over
that of 1923. That Is. ts the old
Jinx, who ha# relentlessly pursued
her for the last two year*, will pick
on somebody else and give her a
chance to show what she can do
under favorable rendition*.
The Bulldogs Will again Invade
the cold north to get a warm re
ception at the hands of the Blue, of
Yale And here's hoping the holo
caust of last year will not be re
peated this season. , ,
f&NERVOUS
Qi ■ '©lQ24- VY NEA SerVicelnc
BEGIN HERE TODAY
The "nervous Wreck," an ec
centric young easterner, drives
Sally Morgan, daughter of a
Montana ranch owner, over a
rough, uncertain trail from the
ranch to the railroad station.
They run out of gasoline and
the occupants of a passing car
refuse to lend them any. The
Wreck take* five gallons.
Later they are held captive
at a ranch along the way be
cause the foreman, Charlie Me-
Sween, needs a cook, and Sally
fills that need. They discover
that the owner of the ranch is
tha owner of the car which they
held up. McSween announces
that the owner i»**Mr. Under
wood of New York, and that
he and his boy and girl ex
pect to etay at the ranch for
several weeks.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"His bein’ from New York is why
I was so particular about the cook
in'. I had Chinks here last year and
they did real well. So I went and
got another pair this summer; but,
as 1 told you, the boys got kind of
Juvenile with ’em and they lit out.
It seems that a Chink expects you
to take him serious. It beats hell.”
"The boss must have money,”
suggested Sally.
"Y’es, ma'am; he's lousy with It.
He raises fancy cattle, only that
ain't the way he made his money.
He took It from somebody In Wall
street. But thereain’t any finer cat
tlo In Montana. They don't know
how he made his money. They don’:
care. I can't say that I care any
thing myself. I'm liberal in my
views. If I were you, ma'am, I'd
sort of give ’em plenty to eat, but
I'd make It look as much like New
York as I could.”
"Oh, i n give them lots,” said Sal
ly. "Dort't you worry, old —”
It slipped half way from her lips
—"old timer.” It was awfully hard
to play tenderfoot when Charley
was around. But Charley gave no
sign that he noticed anything.
"That’s right, ma’am; feed ’em
liberal and fancy. I can see you're
goln’ to make an awful hit with the
boys.”
He went out again, satisfied that
dinner waif Under way and that Sal
ly would be a credit to his discrlmi
antton in cooks. She was flying
around the kitchen like a marion
ette on wires, attending to three or
four things at once, but without
the least trace of confusion.
"Poke that fire up, Henry; put a
lot wood on it and get it going.
I want a hot oven. There's a pile
of wood outside the door. Fill the
kettle over at the sink pump and
put it on. I've got fifty things to
do, and you've got to help with
some of them. Better put your apron
on, too: you'll get all mussed up if
you don't.
The Wreck went about his task
with a scowl.
"The big lying hog," he said. "I
never touched “their watches and
valuables.”
"They're Just excited," explained
Bally, as she hunted for a rolling
pin. "People always exaggerate.
Charley doesn't suspect us, anyhow,
so there's that much gained. Don't
fill the kettle too fall; it'll boil
°'»Vm not. 11l be hanged If I’d
break my neck cooking for them.”
"That's nothing. I've cooked for
lots of people. Besides, we're stall
ing for time Mere going to give
them the best meal we know how.'
"Chinamen's work!”
"It would be a good thing for us
If we were Chinamen." said Sally,
blandly. "Then we'd have a com
plete alibi.”
He grumbled his way through the
chores, hut she could not complain
that he was Inefficient Although he
seemed constantly at the point of
disobedience, the Wreck followed
his orders. He even kept a faithful
eye on the stove, while she went
Into the dining room to sot the ta
ble She took a swift peep Into the
living room while engaged In this
task, but the Underwood family was
evidently up-stair*.
"Underwood?" she mused, 'cant
sav taht I remember hearing the
name around here. Fancy cattle,
eh' I've heard of somebody around
here who raised prize Hereford*. I 11
bet it's the same one. But if It I*.
we re a long way from the Bar-M.
We haven't any neighbors like
that.’
There were footsteps on the sta.r
cuse that came down Into the liv
ing rooms, and Sally, with a final
look at the table, fled back into
the kitchen. _ .
• They're coming down, ehe in
formed the Wreck. "We've got to
hurry" Thank heaven, biscuits don't
take' long. You keep an eye on that
coffee amt don't let It boll. Stop It
juet when It starts. I haven't time
to cook any meat ; beside*. 1 don t
know where they keep It. They re
going to have an omelette.”
It was a very large omelette
that she made, fluffy and thick, a
rhapaodv in yellow# and golden
brown*. The Wreck eyed It with
Jeulous disapproval, but she did not
give him time to exprose an opinion,
(the had him opening a can of eoup
and pouring It Into a saucepan for
heating. There was time for that
much, anyhow.
"I’ll cook them a regular meal
next time,” she promised. “But this
will have to do for short notice.”
Her enthusiasm for the odious
task depressed him.
“Don't work your head off,” he
advised. “You’ll get no thanks for
it."
"Oh, I’ve got lots to do yet,”
said Sally, cheerfully. “For one
thing, I've got to wait on the ta
ble.”
The Wreck nearly upset the cof
fee pot in his anger.
“You will not!” he exclaimed.
“Of course I will.”
•‘l’ll not have you waiting on hogs,
Sally Morgan. They can wait on
themselves.”
"Don’t be ridiculous. They don t
eat in the kitchen. Somebody’s got

"All right, then. I'll carry it to
’em.” , , _
She stared, then shoqjc her head
vehemently.
“You canlt. You’ve got to dodge
them as long as you can. There’ll
be a blow-up, as sure as a gun, the
minute they see you.”
“Well, I’m going to wait on them,
if anybody does,” he said, doggedly!
“What’s the use of dodging around?
We may Just as .well find out now
as any other time.”
“See here, Henry Williams! If
you—”
She stopped, studied his face with
a new interest and remembered
something. Reaching out, she lifted
off his spectacles, then stepped back
a pace for another inspection. Her
scrutiny lasted several seconds.
“It makes you look tremendously
different," she «vid. “Can you see
anything without them?"
"I can see you," said the Wreck,
blinking.
"Wait a minute.”
She ran to a closet and came back
carrying a starched white Jacket.
"It must have belonged to one of
the Chinamen,” she said, "but I!
think it will fit you. Put it on.”
She managed to get him into it,!
after fierce protest Then she view- i
cd him again.
“I really believe,” she said, slow
lv, “that you can get away with it.
With that and the apron, and no
spectacles, you don’t look the least
hit like a nervous wreck. You don't
look like a hold-up man, anyhow.
And if you’re sure you can get
around without falling over things, |

"I never bark.”
"You did then. But you musn’t.

He picked up a tray and began
navigating cautiously in the direc
tion of the dining room. Sally
watched him anxiously. It was an
awful risk, she thought; but If he
passed the test she would feel a lot
safer.
CHAPTER IX
The Four-in-On# Bandit.
There were two persons in the
dining room when the Wreck en
tered with the tray. He could make
them out with reasonable clear
ness as he drew nearer to them. One
was the girl, Underwood's daugh
ter. If you like colorful blonds, she
was Just the right sort; slim, with a
dellgate prettinesa that belonged to
the city. Opposite her sat a youth
who appeared to be a year or so
older. He was well set up and
rather good looking, even if there
was a surly set to his features He
was drawing things on the table

in the living room there wtos a
table, close to the dining room door,
and on the table was a telephone.
th’Tiiebody with a heavy voice was
using it; the Wreck Identified the
voice instantly. It betonged to the
large man who would not share hl»
gasoline. The girl and the youth
were listening, and the Wreck, put
ting down his tray, listend?! also,
pretending to be busy wiping the
soup plates with a napkin.
“Well, you’ve got to get him,”
said the heavy voice, with a note of
irascible authority. “I don’t care if
you have to try every place in the
county. He ought to leave word
where he goes. This is Underwood
talking. What? Yes, certainly. Oh,
you understand now, do you? Well,
you get him. Leave word every
place you try that he’s to call me.
He knows who it is. And you tell
him it's important, see? Tell him
It’s the most important job he ever
had. I don’t call people up for
nothing. Get busy.”
There was a snap of a receiver
roughly replaced and the creaking
of f chair.
"Haven’t they located him yet,
father?” called the girl.
“No; and I don’t believe they re

thought he was over at Fischer.

the county seat. I don’t care where
he is. I want him.”
The owner of the ranch seated
himself at the end ot the table. Tfc£
Wreck observed that he lowere
himself into his chair with a slight
stiffness of movement It pleased
him to think that he knew the
cause. The mudguard of the flivver
showed a tell-tale warp, where It
had nudged him violently. There
was no mistaking Underwood, even
without the aid of spectacles. The
Wreck had seen him in the white
glare of road lights, toiling desper
ately at a crank, and the heavily
jowled face w r as forever marked in
his memory.
