 Fresh from its victory over the strong Davidson eleven. the University of Georsia Football warriors are putting every ounce or their energy Into the preparation for the duel today While the dope does not look quite favorable for the Red and Black sup porters. the Georgians have the confidence in their team which Is inspired by the hard fight the eleven has made In every game this season. Practically opening the sea- son with defeat by the husky Tenneseans. the Georgia squad has returned to the con- fiict undaunted. and it's record since has been most excellent Not contest has been dropped since. the Tennessee tragedy. and in each game the Red and Black has shown surpassing and surprising strength.
 The Georgia eleven has admittedly bet ter chance this year than last and last season the team from Athens turned the trick. in the face Of overwhelming defeat by dope.
 True the balance Is with Auburn thls season, for a victory over Sewanee and a crushing defeat of Tech should count for something But the Georgians met the same situation last season and copped the honors, and they are confident of their ability to repeat. Auburn has not played

Wisconsin.


By Col. &c. Townsend. Shullsburg. Wis.,
The sun never shone on a country
more fair
Than beautiful, peerless Wisconsin !;
There is life in the kiss Of her raritied
air,
Wisconsin, o lovely Wisconsin.
Her sons are all valiant and noble and
bright,
Her beautiful daughters are just
about right;
Her babies God bless them-are clear
out of sight
That crop never falls in Wisconsin.
Her homes are alight with the halo of
love,
Wisconsin, contented wisconsin.
She basks in the smiles Of a heaven
above.
No clouds ever darken Wisconsin.
Her grain waves as pillows Of gold in
the sun,
Her mines are the richest, exceed
ed by none;
Her dairying interests best under the
sun.
We challenge the world with Wis
consin
The girls are sweet models of maiden
ly grace,
In this modern Eden, Wisconsin !;
They are perfect Of figure and lovely
of face
That's just what they are in Wis
consin.
Their smiles are enticing, winning
and sweet,
Their dresses are stylish, yet modest
and neat;
They wear the best shoes on their
dear little feet
That's just what they wear in Wis
sonsin.
When life's weary burden I'm called
to lay down,
I hope l may be in wisconsin;
I never could ask for more glorious
crown
Than one of the sods of Wisconsin.
And when the last trump wakes the
land and the sea,
And the tombs of the earth let their
prisoners go free,
You may all go aloft if you choose,
but for me,
/ think I'll just stay in Wisconsin.
