Georgia Gets
Down 10 Work
BY FRANK FRAWLEY

stalking work set in today for
the Georgia football team as
Coach Wallace Butts began
whipping it into condition for
the Rose Bowl game New Years
Day against the U.C.L.A. Bruins.
These boys looked good
against Georgia Tech" Butts ad-
mitted just before he called them
into action, "but they have been
examining for exams and have
had only one scrimmage since
then. U.C.L.A. has had two
games under its belt. We've
got lot to do and it will be two
practice sessions day until Fri
day. After Christmas, We'll do
at it again."
Butts said his squad of 43,
which arrived yesterday, was
train-weary after four days en-
route and mighty glad to get its
feet on firm ground again, even
if in hostile, but yet friendly ter
ritory.
Someone asked If the Georg-
ians weren't going to have a
fling at Hollywood.
Il don't know" Butts answer
ed smilingly, maybe we will,
but you have my word that we
came out here to play football
and that's the first, and right
now the only thing on our
minds. Nobody is going to in
terfere with our plans, either.
We're away behind in our work
and l only hope we can catch up
by New Years"
SINKWICH SERIOUS
frankie Sinkwich, the nations
No. / athlete, who contributed
2,176 of the :,704 yards the
Bulldogs gained this year, was
in a serious mood, too. He said
the reports on U.C.L.A. from
Georgia scout Howell Hollis
were more or less discouraging.
We've heard these Bruins
were big and strong" said Fran
kie. 1--WE figured we'd be out
weighed but it's not so good to
hear they also are as fast as all
get out"
Southern newspapermen who
accompanied the Georgia squad
were high in its praise. Jack
Troy of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton predicted Pasadena would
see one of the best passing ex-
hibitions in Rose Bowl history.
Troy said he considered
George Poschner one of the best
of all the south's great pass
catchers, but he added that
Georgia's overhead attack was
geared to Sinkwich's throwing
with several top-notch receivers
eligible.
Butts was asked to compare
his boys with the 1895 Alabama
eleven that featured Dixie How
ell and Don Hutson-a team
that is still tops in Pasadena
as far as passing Is concerned.
well, you can't make COM
parsons there" said Butts.
There is no receiver like Hut
son. Poschner has dropped sew
eral passes he should have
caught. Hutson just didn't
and doesn't-do that But ! like
Sinkwich over Howell. frankie
is the better thrower. AS to the
teams, we'll, I think football as
played today is better than the
1885 brand"
You get the idea, right there,
that while the Georgians aren't
making any boastful claims. they
still aren't going to be whipped
by the wrong mental attitude.

The major service teams off
their records appear to be Sell
fridge Field Air Base, Dear
born Naval Training School,
Romulus Army Air Base, Crosse
lie and the Grand Haven Coast
Guard Training Station. In
brief, here are some accom-
plishmentS:
OUTSTANDING
SELFRIDGE FIELD-Coach-
ed by Capt. Will Orr Ross, for
merly of Columbia University,
the filters won seven games be-
fore bowling to the University
of Michigan by one point on a
last second field goal. They get
another chance at Ann Arbor
Dec. 80. The team is largely
composed of former collegians,
including Privates Bobby Roth
of Wayne and Sam Lieberman
of Lawrence Tech.
DEARBORN NAVAL--Lieut.
Cester S. Barnard, former ath-
letic director at Kalamazoo Col
lege, has two key performers in
Leo Beebe, 1899 Michigan cap
tain, and Bob Arnet of Oregon.
Dearborn has beaten Crosse lie
and hopes to bring an upset on
Selfridge tomorrow.
ROMULUS AIR BASE-Ma-
jor Max Ziel, formerly of Os-
wego, N. Y, State Teachers Col
lege, has a team headed by
Sgts. Hubert Gilman of James
Milliken and Lorelle Nelson Of
South Dakota State. Romulus
lost an early decision to Sell
fridge. After Feb. / the team
plans to play at home in q new
gymnasium now under construc-
ton.
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
CROSSE lie - Lieut.. Rich
ard Gallagher, formerly head
basketball coach at William and
Mary, relies heavily on Guard
Jim Klein Of Pittsburgh and
Lieut.. Harlan Gustafson of Penn,
who was noted mainly for foot
ball ability. The aviators seem
to improve each game.
GRAND HAVEN GOA S T
GUARD - This squad is in
charge of Lieut.. Ray Gallivan,
former athletic director at
Whiting, Ind, high school. Ed
Fessler is a center with expe-
rience in the pro league with
the Sheboygan, Wis, Redskins.
The coast guardsmen are play
ing many western Michigan
colleges.
Fort Custer, which was we'll
represented last year, has no
team this winter in outside
competition.
The Michigan service cage
teams follow the usual formula
of participation on personal
free time, with no special priv
ileges asked or given. That
means the boys really want
basketball. The development of
the game among the service
men has contributed. too, to
spectator sports attractions both
for military and civilian groups.

tomorrow by turning in a ration
stamp from the book to their

The books contain % stamps,
the first four of which have been
designated for sugar. Each Of the
four stamps is good for one pound
of sugar, but it may be used only
d-:ring a specific two-week period.
thus placing the amount of sugar
per person at one-half pound per
week for the first eight weeks.
Each person will be permitted
to have two pounds of sugar on
hand at the time of registration.
Thus, a household may have two
pounds for each family member.
For every pound over the limit.
one stamp will be taken from the
ration book. If there are more
than six pounds a person on hand
at the time of registration. the
books will not be issued until the
supply is exhausted.
SERVICE MEN EXEMPT
This supply must not be ex-
hausted faster than at the rate Of
a half-pound per week.
Service men who eat at or
ganized mess rooms and persons
in hospitals and prisons are the
only ones who need not register.
College students who live away
from home should register and

III this campaign should

- Is IL not best for our

Is It not best to be a bit less

native land?
Otherwise the grinning

Not continually to warn

into the cruel hands of their
vilest and most vicious enemy.
