~ historic double barreled can
non in 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 antiquated village to it's
very foundation If GEORGIA DE-
FEATS AUBURN.
on Sanford field this afternoon
the gridiron warriors Of Cunning
ham and Donahue clash in a strug
gle that will undoubtedly go 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 col
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 Mllledgeville.
II was a good -natured mob, the
NAuburnites returning every cheer
from the threats of the Georgians,
And tonight IT will still be the
game good -natured mob
But for about two hours this aft
ernoon il will he a lighting mob
Friendship will cease while the
game is on.
Auburn Slight FaVorite.
AS for the game and the winner
well. 1t is beyond me. Auburn is
slight favortte with the betting
contingent but a favorite in foot
ball is beaten as many times as it
wins.
1t was the holding of Vanderbilt
10 tie that 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? I doubt II.
ON the other hand Georgia
should be at its very best this aft
ernoon. For twelve days has Geor-
gia rested. Not since a week
ago last Saturday. when they de-
feated Tech in Atlanta, have Cum
uingham's charges been in battle
AS a result they are primed.
Auburns 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 At today.
Auburn at its best would verify
beat Georgia at its best. Condi-
tion 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
wane is q question that is far be-
yond me
All Athens is covered with two
inches of snow this morning. The
weather is fair and chilly.
Sanford field will he in tatr
shape for the game this afternoon,
as the entire streets sweeping de-
partment is cleaning off the snow
before il nets.
Auburn Is the Heavier Team.
Auburn Will outweigh Georgia
Ave pounds TO the man and weight is
a mighty fine thing IN football.
Presenting that Auburn win line
up the same as against Vanderbilt
and Georgia will hurl the same
team against them that they did
