Likewise for the first time in many
years the Red and Black Of old Geor-

of old Auburn, with both teams hav-
ing a clean record against associa-
lion teams.
Not even excepting the great Tech
Georgia battle, this is to be the real
football card of the local season. The
Tech Georgia game is always elias

en- by an association team, has made
possible a local battle which Will
decide definitely the Southern cham

There is no denying the fact that the
