Years the Red and Black OF old GeoP-
Ria will engage the Orange and Blue

Ion teams.
Not even excepting the great Tech
Georgia hattie, this is to be the real
football card of the local season The

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

The consensus of opinion seems to
be that Auburn has the edge Some
will argue that the Plainsmen have
more consistent attack. while 9TH
ers, pointing to the result of the Van
derbilt game. hold that the four bat
terlng rams In that Auburn back
field are bound to beat down the
Georgia defense.
