T ICKETS for the Georgia-Yale
foot ball game at Athens on
October IL next give more than

this foot ball game IS going to
create in Dixie. Colorful themselves,
with their red and black and heavy
gold background, the tickets are fore

which this forthcoming gridiron event
will be invested. Very easily these
pasteboards will serve as souvenirs. and
without doubt they are intended for
this purpose as we'll as admission.
1t is quite clear that no game Of the
1929 season will equal this significant
intersectional meeting in point OF spec
tacular display of pomp and circum-
stance. Yale foot ball warriors cross
Mason and Dixons line in gracious
recognition of friendly rival with the

game with spirit as fiery as that with
which their ancestors strove against
the Northern invaders more than hall

all in all. Hospitality will in spirit match
the ardor of battle and Yale athlete

be permitted to forget that they are
honored guests as we'll as distinguished
rivals.
