What Happened to Georgia?

nNE answer is-Southern California.
~ The other is that Georgia was lust
about at its peak against Yale on
October 10. and the team vas on the
way down hill even before the N. Y. U.
game.
Georgia lacked the reserves and the
power to face any schedule which
offered almost no breathing spell from
start to finish: Yale, North Carolina,
Vanderbilt, N. Y. u, Tulane, Florida,
Auburn. Georgia Tech and Southern
California among others.
Georgia at its best never had the man.
power to cope with Southern California,
the type of team that moves like a fast
rolling avalanche, once it ges the Jump.
But it is shown again that no team
can hurry to the peak in early October
and have much left by December.
Southern California was far from it's
peak against st. Mary's when the latter
won a late September game. 1t came
gradually but surely up the hill to top
forrA at its best in the last two con-
tests with Washington and Georgia.

that he, as an elephant, will lead
them before you. And then, he con-
tinues talking something like this,
perhaps:
Don't shoot the first one That

either. That will be me too. And
be sure not to shoot the one with
the broken tusk, for that will be

"Thereupon, the warning having
been given, the elephant man disap-
pears into his hut. What happens
in the hut no one knows. At least,
Pocklington doesn't. Possibly there
is much ado with nostra and chant.
The door of the hut does not open
again, however, until you return
from the hunt.

do show up where he says they will

said Pocklington. Seems ridicul-
Gus, doesn't it? I've had it happen
to me, though, and / can't make
head or tail to it."
Further credence to this strangest
of tales told by the Firestone execu-
tive was given in an article written
by John w. Vandercook for Harper's
Magazine recently. Vandercook re-
peats the account of a bishop, who
once spent a night of terror in a
town raided by a herd of leopards
In bright moonlight, said the
bishop, the leopard pack came down
into the town, made the streets a
bloody nightmare, killed and carried
off certain men, and then disap-
peared into the forest. This much,
the bishop swears, he saw. To what
ha said he added two things he knew
First, the very men killed had
been warned beforehand that they
had incurred the fatal anger of the
secret society of human leopards, a
zoomorphistic sect.
Secondly, he knew, land everyone
knows, says Vandercook, that the
African leopard is solitary beast
that never goes in packs.
Yet that night, the bishop testi-
fled, he saw, smelt and heard not
less than SO cats all moved by one
purpose.
Possibly" comments Vandercook,
"zoomorphism comes under the head
of hypnotism, and possibly not. Any
how. the dark gigantic forest hides
many things we are too young to
understand.
