group of students VIII go along TO
root for the cOIors of the Crimson
and White. 1t is expected that sew
eral Crimson supporters Will eaten
the RATHER in Birmingham Friday
night and go along with the team
and students.
The Thin Red Line" is going over
with the determination of crushing the
colors of the Athenians on the sod. Ala
bama has lost only the 6 to II point
game with Vanderbilt. and Crimson
supporters are DESTROYS of the team
ending the season in whirlwind by
defeating Coach Cunningham eleven
at Atlanta and then on Thanksgiving
humbling the Mississippi Farmers. 1t is
a hard task to defeat either team.
FUMBLES COSTLY
The team is not over-confident be-
cause it realizes there is many slip
between the start and the goal. Espe-
ciaDy is that true in reference to the
Alabama team, whose playing has been
marred to certain extent by fumbling.
Many believe that fumbling was the
direct cause of the loss of the Wander
bilt game. According to comparative
scores, Alabama and Georgia are doped
to be about of equal strength. The
Athens team has not been defeated eX-
cept in a f1uke affair with the Auburn
eleven al Columbus.
Fans are reasonably assured of
clean game Saturday. The Georgians
have a record for playing the game fair
and square, and>it is assured that the
Thin Red Line" will live up to its past
record. According to information COM
ing from Atlanta, elaborate plans are
being made by the alumni of the two
schools for the entertainment of the
teams after the game
In one respect the Georgia Univer-
sity will have the advantage of home
grounds. Georgia is at least as much
at home in Atlanta as Alabama is in
Birmingham, and that is the next best
thing to home. The whole student body
will turn out en- rnasse to cheer for the
Gold and Black. However, one consol-
ing thing has leaked out to the effect
that Georgia Tech students were learn
ing Alabama yells with the purpose of
yelling for the Alabama team 1t is
probable that this is a rumor. 1t is
known. however, that there is consd-
cradle ill-feeling between Tech and
Georgia, condition similar to the es,
arrangement athletically between Ala
bama and Auburn

According to dope coming from
Athens, the regular Georgia backfield
for one reason or another will not play
in Saturdays game. But it is a safe
bet that Coach Cunningham is going tc
use his best in an effort to stem the
Crimson tide, and if possible turn the
