Waugh, halfback, the University of
Georgia turned back Furman's Purple
Hurricane. 81 to 0, in the last varsity
game to be played on old Sanford Field.
On field heavy from a constant
drizzle Waugh on the second Georgia
play smashed off tackle and twisted
his way through the Flrman secondary
for "a yards and the first touchdown
A few minutes later he circled left and
stepped so yards for another touch
down.
In the next period it was Waugh
who carried the burden of ground
terson, substituting for RothStein, car
ried the ball over for the third touch
down.
Furman showed more effectively on
the defense in the third and fourth
periods but failed to develop a Sus-
tanned drive. In the third period the
Hurricane drove to Georgia's 12-yard
line, but the Bulldog forwards began
to check the drive.
Passes were ineffective for both elev-
ems until the fourth period, then Chan
combination for Georgia. Downs then
tipped q pass to Chandler that was
good for 26 yards and a touchdown.
Coach Harry Mehre uncovered more
than Waugh in turning back Furman
He showed good reserve strength in
Chandler and Patterson, half backs, and
in Kelly, end.
The Georgia team that took the field
today was a vastly improved combina-
ton over the Red and Black elsven
that last week lost to Oglethorpe, 13
