Bulldogs and Georgia Techs
Golden Tornado, are look
ing forward to hard schedules,
during which they will meet
strong teams in nearly all sec
tions of the East and South.
Georgia opens September 81 with
Oglethorpe, while Georgia Tech
does not begin until the following
week, October 4, with South Caro-
lima as its opponent.
Both schools are due to face tough
competition throughout the season and
probably the toughest going for each
will be in their own game, when they
meet on the last date of the year, De-
cen1ber 6.
Looks to Yale Game.
Georgia is looking forward to its game
with Yale with special interest. 1t won
from the Dark Blue last season at
Athens by Is to and is hoping against
hope that it can turn the trick for the
second consecutive year, this time in
at New York, Tulane at New Orleans,
North Carolina at Athens are likely to
be the other hardest games on the
Georgia schedule.
Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh and
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia are the
two biggest games on the Georgia Tech
list, although the one with North Caro-
lima is not likely TO be much easier.
Georgia Tech also meets Tulane, but
in addition has Vanderbilt, which is not
played by Georgia. However, with both
Georgia and Georgia Tech, between
them, playing the strongest elevens in
the South, with Georgia meeting Yale
and New York University, and Georgia
Tech playing Carnegie Tech and Penn
sylvania, they have pretty representa-
tive list for one State.
Here is Georgia's complete schedule:
September 81 - Oglethorpe at
Athens.
october 4-Mercer at Athens.
October 11-Yale at New Haven.
October 1s-North Carolina at
Athens.

Picked to Finish High.
Georgia has such good prospects that
it generally is being picked among the
first four teams in the South, the other
three being Vanderbilt, Tulane and
North Carolina. 1t has back IA letter
men, and its whole eleven is likely to
be made up of these veterans. Harry
Mehre, coach of the team, has little TO
say of his opinion as TO the squads
possibilities but agrees with everybody
else that his eleven ought to be strong
Bill Alexander, Georgia Tech coach,
is frank in saying that his squad seems
better than it was a year ago, and that
the team ought to be better, largely be-
cause of a more capable rush line. AS
Alex" puts it himself:
AT this time We expect to have
better team than we had last year, as
our rush line will be very much
stronger. Last year we were weak at
tackle, as We were forced to use Maree
in the backfield instead of at tackle
This Fall Maree is back at tackle, and,
with him and Speer in the two tackle
positions, we should be very much
stronger both extensively and defensive
ly. However, our squad will be small, as
we do not have more than Is or Is real
players in college, and the big question
with us will be how to use these men
to stand the strain of the schedule we
play. II we are unlucky enough to run
into some injuries we may have some
disastrous Saturday afternoons"
Has Veteran Material.
Georgia Techs team, like Georgia's,
is TO be made up largely of veteran ma
terial, men who went through the fire
of a regular varsity schedule in 1929 /
What this really means to a foot ball
coach only coach can fully appreciate !
The coaching staff at both Georgia |
and Georgia Tech will be the same as
last year, with Harry Mehre, former
Notre Dame man. at the helm at the /
former and Alexander at the latter |
However, Mehre is due TO lose his chief /
assistant Frank Thomas. at the end Of /
this season, as Thomas is slated 10 so 70 |
