more point than a touchdown and

The only casualties resulting from
the Virginia affair were a couple
of bruised shoulders belonging to
Curtis I.uckey and J. I). Thomp
son. Both are obstalning from
scrimmaging this week and they
will not doubt be ready to respond
to the whistle Haturday. Walter
Forbes, Bulldogs center, who was
left behind on the Virginia trip with
an Injury to his side, Is rapidly
rounding Into shape and should nee
some action against tho Tigers. Un
less any unforseen accidents befall
any more of the Bulldogs before
Saturday, the team will probably be
In the best rendition it has betgt
In this season. Coach Woodruff Is
taking no chances in Injuring any
of his aces In scrimmage so the sec-,
ond team will very likely have to
bear the brunt of the rough work
before the £olumhu* game.
Hundreds of Georgia students
have adopted the "on Colum
bng" slogan and are preparing to
again storm the Muskogee capital as
has been their annual custom with
in the memory of man. The Bulldog
linentor* reallxe the Importance of
winning this game, for a loss would
wreck their hopes for the confer
ence title and a win will give them
tho right to enter the finals with
Alnhama for the championship on
Thanksgiving Pay. Auburn will no
doubt be at her best agnlnst the
Athenians as she always has been
nnd will be aching to avenge Inst
year's defeat when Boose Pay
grabbed a pnss out of the ozone and
dashed slxty-dive yards for a
touchdown and what later on prov
ed to be the game.
If the good weather that has
prevailed around here for the past
week, holds out until Saturday, all
attendance accords for this gre*t
classic are destined to be shatter
ed when these two old rivals meet
In their seventh annual grid ojust
in tha Electric. City.
Football Game at the Academy
Park Htndlum.
Thousands of people will be hi
the city on that date to see this
annual service team classic. Hun
dreds of enquiries have been re
ceived near cities In Carolina and
Georgia and Augusta can well ex
pect a gala day—carnival, military
bands, and a foot ball claslc all on
one day. We have much to thnnk
the Exchange club for. they are In
deed ploying host to Augusta. The
game will start at !1 p m.
en good barks, several of them very
fast.
"Princeton lacked cohesion la tb*
game with my team. It wasn't quite
ready, liefore tlm seaaon Is over
it irisv show surprising strength
against Harvard,and Yale The pos-
Hibllltle* are there."
Coach Knute Rockne of Notre
Hume made a statement Very sim
ilar to the above after his team had
defeeatsd Princeton tn nn enrly
season game. The Tiger eleven Im
pressed Mm even In defeat.
That Coach Rockne knew well
hla leason wan proved in the Prln
ceUm-Harvard game. In which the
Crlmaon waa overwhelmed 34 to 0.
Not alnce the two colleges play
ed their first football game nearly
50 years ago, has a Harvard team
been ao rudely beaten by Prince
ton. M •
Princeton was ready for Harvard.
Coach BUI Roper had pointed hts
eleven for that game and did n
mighty good lob of It. The decisive,
vea one-sided victory, surprised
even the most optimistic supporter*
of th# Orange and Rlnck.
The' Princeton llns outplayed
Harvard but It was the magnificent
work of the backfleld that stood
out The line paved the way and the
Tiger harks further ripped the Har
vard defense to pieces.
Princeton ngslnst Harvard was a
perfectly co-ordinated team plus
great power That tella the story.
Truly, Knute Rockne Is a wise
man of football.

That 34 to 0 slaughter Is going
