Georgia Insists
Game Be Played
At Ponce DeLe0n

ATHENS, GA, Nov. 11.-Professor
Sanford, physical director at Georgia.
has given out a statement to the
effect that the contract between
Georgia and Tech does not specify
that Saturdays football game shall
be played at Grant Field, and Geor-
gia insists that 1t must be played on
neutral grounds as heretofore. or that
a contract be entered into at once
that viii provide for one game in
Atlanta one year on Grant Field and
another in Athens the next year On
Sanford Field.
1t is maintained by the Georgia. au-
thUrities that it is not only in fair
ness TO the Georgia team that the
game be played on neutral grounds.
but that 1t Is due the public chat the
greatest game OF the season be played
whore the best a0commoda tons are
afforded.
The athletic authorities hcre haze
taken stand that the game is to be
played on Ponce DeBeon or not a
all, and II Tech does not concede the
neutrality, Atlanta will surely lose
the Georgia Tech game for at least
every other year
