SCHEDULE OFFERS
TREMENDOUS TEST
Team Certain to Be Strong
for About Toughest List
of Games in South.

garding foot ball prospects
at the University of Georgia, but,
considering the kind of schedule
1t is to play, the team represent
ing that institution will need some
real strength. 1t is doubtful II
any other school in the South is
slated to go through such a diff
cult list of contests. From the
first blast of the whistle in the
opening game until the wind-up
there is not likely to be one oppo-
nent that can be classed in the
category of Set-up.
Georgia opens its schedule october
with Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and
that school is expecting to have the
strongest combination in its history. In
its second game, october 10, the jour-
ney to New Haven to play Yale is to be
made. And, while Georgia won from
Yale last season, the game there IS
likely to be plenty rough and hard On
october II Georgia goes to Chapel Hill
to meet North Carolina, and Georgia
North Carolina contests of the last three
years have been among the closest In
the South.
After the North Carolina game comes
Vanderbilt, and Vanderbilt is standing
out with Georgia right now as having
the best outlook of all southern schools.
1t would not be a great surprise were
this game to determine the champion
ship of that section of the country be-
low the MaSon-Dixon line. University
of Florida follows Vanderbilt, and then
another trip north to play New York
University at New York City. On NO
vember II Auburn plays at Athens, and
this year it is expected that Auburn
will have another Of the teams that in
former days made it one of the most
feared opponents in southern foot ball
THE big game is with Georgia Tech
i at Athens on November %, the
Saturday after Thanksgiving. And
let Georgia win every other game on Its
schedule and lose that with Georgia
Tech and the season would be a, failure.
On December IL Georgia is to take the
longest trip it has ever made for
foot ball game when it goes to Los An
geleS to play Southern California. And
anybody that knows anything about
foot ball records Of the last four or five
years Is fully converSant with the fact
that Georgia has not picked a soft spot
to wind up its season.
Georgia is depending almost entirely
on veteran material for its first string
and reserve elevens. Woolfson and
Bachelor are said to be the only men
coming up from the freshman eleven of
last year who have the kind Of ability
that chap needs to make a Georgia
team. Both men weigh 200 pounds
and are good all-round athletes. AS
ConrCiQ rnrnntlV MT II
Bachelor is our best au-round ath-
lete, being good on the track as well
as in foot ball, while WoolfSon looks
like a real prospect, 200 pounds and
tough"
Georgias offense is likely to center
around Downes, star ground gamer last
year. He plays quarterback and is in
his senior year. Roberts at fullback,
Stoinoff, Gilmore, Whire, Moran, Sulli-
van, Young, Dickens, Mott, Chandler,
Brown, Harden, Key and CASTOR are
the other outstanding backs.
Harry Mehre, formerly of Notre
Dame, is head coach, and he will have
about the same assistants he had last
year, with the exception of Frank
Thomas, his backfield coach. Thomas
has gone to Alabama to be head coach,
to take the place left vacant when
Wallace Wade took charge Of athletics
at Duke
GEORGIA has done little this year
~ in the way Of adding new equip
ment, as it, according to its own
statement has plenty to do to pay for
that which it already has. In the last
three years Georgia has constructed
fine basket ball building. stadium to
seat $4,000, d new track and during
the past Summer has completed a polo
field.
In connection with Georgia foot ball,
It. seems more than appropriate to men
ton that DR.. S. V. Sanford, who, for
years, has been managing athletics at
the university, and who is dean of the
institution, has virtually recovered from
a serious operation he had last Spring.
1t is doubtful if any other man con-
nected with athletics in the South has
as many friends as Dr. Sanford, and
they all are delighted to know that he
has regained his health and again is at
the helm he has for many years han
oiled SO ably.
CARL SNAVELY, coach of foot ball
~ at Bucknell, which plays George
town here, did not get his squad
out as early as some of the coaches did
at other institutions, but he certainly
kept in touch with his players through
out the year. Beginning last Spring
right after the practice sessions, he adj
dressed letter to each member of his
squad every week. And he kept that up
all during the Summer, with the result
that he had constantly before his men
Bucknell foot ball problems as he saw
them.
He wrote his men about conditioning
themselves, then started giving them
the plays they are to use this Fall, and
then got down to telling them just what
he expected of them in the first few
days of practice, which telling included
hints on blocking, lacking and other
fundamentals.
In other words, Snavely gave his men
q compendium of foot ball informa-
ton that should be very valuable. Not
only should iU give them real informa-
ton about how to do things but 1t
probably served to build up high
morale.
