SETTLES DOWN
To REAL WORK
No Star Recruits From Prepdom,
but a Good Line of Seasoned
Material in Evidence.

\ THENs, Sept. 2o.-The usual
~ preliminaries of the training
season are about over at Geor-
ga now. The men have been equip
PED with new uniforms, most of the
stiffness has been worked out, and
the first squad cut to a good work.
ing number while the lesser pro-
specttve candidates have been turned
over to Assistant Coach Peacock on
Herty Field. The crop of recruits is
all in. and, except for two or three
old men who are still expected to re-
turn, the coaches have on hand the
material that Georgia's hopes will
be built of for the season.
There is a world of material on
hand, more than fifty candidates be-
ing out daily for a try-out. But, as
usual, at least SO per cent of this
amount never will get beyond the
scrubs, and many will fall by the
Wayside even before they reach the
second stringers. However there are
several promising looking youngsters
whom Cunningham has assigned
seat at the training table, and this
means that they have a shot at the
varsity.
Drew No Stars.
Georgia drew no such stars as Preas
and Patten from the ranks Of prep
dom this year, but there are a num-
Der of new players who rank up with
the average. Both the stars men
toned, who have entered Georgia
Tech, were invited to the University
and would have been welcomed in
the squad but Georgia is taking no
stock in the rumored ineligihility of
either, and is not likely to. No mat
ter what the Red and Black may have
suffered IN the way of loss by pro-
test, few colleges can attribute SINH
lar misfortune to action by Georgia.
