 In Thrilling Tie

Athens, Ga, Oct. 1l-(UP)-A Georgia football team touted as one of the strongest in Dixie dropped into the ranks of tied eleyens to- day, and the Bulldog rooters had Frankie Sinkwich and Lamar Da- vis to thank that their first major game ended in deadlock instead of defeat.
 Georgia tied Mississippi in a Southeastern conference game, IA IA, before 25,000 last night after a bitter uphill battle during which Davis scored all his teams points and Sinkwich, his broken jaw pro- tected by a metal headgear, sparked 9o-yard drive to the final touch- down with just five minutes left to play.
 Mississippi, with Merle Hapes and Junie Hovious working easily, bounced out to ca 14-0 lead but Georgia came back in the third period when Davis swept left end for 45 yards and touchdown and then kicked the point. Six minutes before the final whistle, Sinkwich broke off tackle for IT yards and then swept end for 30 more.
 From the Mississippi 43 he passed to George Peschner. Peschner late eraled to Davis who sped over the goal standing up and then kicked his second conversion point.

New York, oct. II - (UP0 - Scattered .pafaeraphs containing scattered thoughts:
 After all theeS years Jack Dernp- sey and Luis Angel Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Pampas, are feverishly exchanging letters and they may make Q tour of the country on the goth anniversary of their historic fight. That wouldn't occur until 1884 (the fight took place Septem- Der g, lo23) but theN Wild Bull seems anxious to do 1t. It would stir a few memories, ct that, because the old timers do say that the Wild Bull and the ManaSsa Mauler put on the greatest bout of all time In six short minutes. Dempsey, knock. cd through the ropes, crawled back and knocked out Eirpo. The. Wild Bull says he has c promising fighter named Abel Cestac, and adds in c letter to Jack: Now. about myself.

 Football Fabrication
 Among the stories that the Texas 4. 0 M. football team brought to New York to intimate the N. Y. U. boys before today's game was a lulu about Willie Zapalac, a 200-pound back. Seems that Willie kicks like . mule and runs like e deer. When he was playing for Belleville, Tex, high school, he kicked of and rush. cd down the filed 50 fast that he got into scramble for the bali and eventually fell on 1t behind the op- position goal line for Q touchdown. I didn't see 1t; I'm just telling you what the man told me.
 one of the strangest cases in baseball is that of Freddie Hutchin- son who came up to the Detroit Tig- CTS from the Pacific Coast League, hailed as another MathewSon. He has just been chosen the most valu. able player in the International League where he won. % and lost 2 for the Buffalo BIsons. Every place he plays in the minor league he looks like . whlrlwlnd, but for some mysterious reason he can't click on the big time. Ills fast ball doesn't exactly whistle c tune, but he has everything else that . major league pitcher needs. If you find out the allswer, Del Baker will Do glad to hear from you. '~
