non i'm front Of the city hall
hadn't been spiked years and years
ago IT probably would ring forth a
pair OF charges tonight that would
shake this autiquated village to its
very foundation If GEORGIA DE-
FEATS AUBURN
on Sanford field this afternoon
the gridirOn warriors Of Cunning
ham and Douahue clash in a strug-
gle that viii undoubtedly 90 down
in football history as one Of the
greatest battles Of all time
And with such an attraction
slated Athens has gone mad
Hundreds Of visitors are here
from all parts Of the South, some
wearing the colors of Georgia and
others proudly supporting the COLI
ors of Auburn.
Last night many OF the visitors
arrived but the majority of them
pulled in this morning on special
trains from Atlanta. Augusta,
Gainesville and Mii1edgevilIe.
1t was a good -natured mob the
2 Auburnites returning every cheer
from the Threats Of the Georgians
And tonight it viii still be the
same Rood-natured mob.
But for about two hours this att
enoon it will be a fighting mob
Friendship will cease while the
game is on.
Auburn Slight Favorite.
AS for the game and the winner
well, it is beyond me. Auburn is
slight favorite with the betting
contingent, but a favorite in foot
ball is beaten as many times as il
wins.
1t was by holding Vanderbilt to
tie that has made Donahue's men
the choice with the wagering ones.
But will the Auburn of today be as
good as the Auburn of last Satur-
day? / doubt IT,
on the other hand. Georgia
should be at its very best this aft
ernoon. For twelve days has Geor-
gia rested up. Not since week
ago last Saturday, when they de-
feated Tech In Atlanta, have Gun
uingham's charges been in battle.
AS a result they are primed.
Auburn's biggest game of the
season was the one with the Com
modores. For weeks. yes, for the
entire season, they worked them
selves to a perfect edge for that
one struggle. They fought until
their strength was exhausted They
can not possibly be as ut today.
Auburn at it's best would verify
beat Georgia at It's best. Condi-
ton Is going to tell today, as it al
ways tells In football game.
look for Auburn to play rings
around Georgia early in the game
but whether they can pile up
enough points to pull them through
safely when their strength starts to
wa9le is a question that is far be-
yond me,
Auburn Is the Heavier Team.
Auburn will outweigh Georgia
FIVE pounds to the man and weight is
a mighty fine thing in football
Presuming that Auburn viii line
up the same as against Vanderbilt
and Georgia will hurl the same
team against them that they did
against Tech the following dope Is
interesting:
