GEORGIA LOOKING FOR TOUCH GAME FROM VIRGINIANS
Bulldogs to'PIay Game Minus Services of a Few
 Stars
By EARLE E. WATSON

Athens, November 2.-(Special)- With the Virginia game looming as real menace to Georgia's great rec ord of no defeat at the hands of a southern opponent in the past two years, Red and Black coaches are drilling the Bulldogs in the art of breaking up forward passes, br1nch of the game in which the old De- minion is said to excel. Practice m defensive aerial playing consumed the greater part of Tuesdays prac- tice.
 All of the regular lineup that started the game against Auburn last Saturday in Columbus was on the field today with the exception of Paige Bennett and Artie Pew Paige received a complicated injury against Auburn last Saturday, several of the fragments in the stomach being torn Pew will probably play Saturday, though he was jared up some from the strenuous game he played against Auburn.
 Backfieid Stars Will Be out
 Through the application of the one- yCoi hlt TIT NstOi B IT s lilld the Red and Blacks backfield will be rather disorganized this week. The rule causes the loss from the ,ine-up of Loren Randall. brilliant freshman quarter; John Fletcher, another first year star. at half. and "Smacx" Thompson. the rat, who is a mean substitute fullback. The quandary of the coaches in these losses is rem dered doubly serious by the inability to play of Sheldon Fitts who has been unable to play a minute this season on account of an injured knee Dave Ceilings. who has been out of the running for two weeks on ac- count of bad leg, will also be out.
 Murray nt End
 The place of Bennett at end will be taken by Mercer Murray. The Fort Valley lad has about divided honors with Bennett this season, and is fully worthy of being member of the royal order of the Bulldog line. This leaves the primary defense well taken care of. The real problem will come in the selection of backfield capable of carrying the offense lost by he absence of Randall, ct al
 For the vacant places the coaches are grooming Father" Clark Jim Reynolds, Goat Tanner Jimmy Spicer and c. Pierce. Clark Is .he most likely be at quarter. and Jim Reynolds intuition at grounding passes makes his work in the Vir- ginia game indispensable. Tam er's supremacy at running interference has never been questioned in Sanford field. Spicer is the best man of the above to handle the bunting.
 Out to Muxxle Bulldogs There is no doubt that the Virgin fans are out to muzzle the free Bull dogs next Saturday. This much is evident from the avalanche of optim- istic reports pouring into Athens from Charlottesville, They will try to wreck the local kennel. The Old Dominion calls this one the deter miner of the southern championship as both elevens have sailed through | without a defeat below the Mason and Dixon line.
 i A monster crowd will witness the | engagement. The state of Georgia is | full of enthusiastic Virginia alumni who are coming over to back the Don inion eleven. Railroads the state over are announcing special rates tc Athens and the town will hold with. in its confines the largest gathering in it's history when the opposing elevens lock horns.
