OUT ON Nil TEAL 01(01 NIL
A call was issued early Monday
morning, after hurried conferences
Sunday, for a real old-fashioned
monster mass meeting lnthe chapel
Monday night, at which every stu
dent in college would personally be
asked to be present, to do what could
be done in a reorganization of the
football squad.
It was announced that Chancellor
Harrow, the physical director, Mr.
Hugh Gordon, the coaches, and all of
the players would be present and a
good many of them would make
talks.
The student body has shown a
good spirit ill sticking together and I
rooting this fall, and it is hoped that
some of the never-say-die can be
inoculated into the men on the field.
There is something wrong that no
one seems exactly able to find. It is
not thought that the men are pur
posely doing anything to hurt the
spirit, but the men as a whole team
ust haven't found themselves yet.
This mass meeting was called for the
purpose of helping them.
A few freshmen haven't learned
what genuine Georgia spirit is yet,
but the student body as a whole has
been there when they were needed
at every point and in every way this
fall. This meeting should do them
good, also, after the Vandy defeat.
LAW DEBATING SOCIETY
CHANGES MEETING DATE
The meeting night of the Jeffer
sonian law debating society has been
changed to Tuesday Instead of Un
changed to Thursday Instead of Fri
day, so more can attend, and the pros
pects of a good and profitable year In
the law department are very bright
for the unusually large number of
ssudents enrolled.
The date was changed by a vote
of the whole society, and Thursday
night ran a close second In popular
ity. Friday night, the former time,
was too popular with other interests
and Is very much In demand as an
engagement night.
Well, we lost!
Vandy 16. Georgia 0.
It's a Bad, sad story, but it Is his
tory now and we must look forward
to the future. Vanderbilt has a great
team; in fact, It Is one of the greatest
football machines ever seen on a
Southern gridiron. In Haulage and
Collins they have two of the fastest
hacks In Dixie. Hut this does not
constitute the team. At every stage
of the game they had eleven men
working hurd, pulling together to
win. McGugin deserves great credit
for the efficient team that he has put
out. and we believe that llarviird is
going to be given a scrap when they
meet Vandy.
One of the most conspicuous feat
ures of tile game was the fierce tack
ling of the Commodores. Georgia's
Interference would scarcely be form
ed before it would he spilled and the
runner nailed. On the other hand,
Georgia missed open tackles, one af
ter nnothcr. This was not due to
their Inability to tackle as much as
It wag to the fleet ness of the Vander
bilt hncklleld.
The Georgia team fought an up
hill light from the beginning. Van
derbilt got off quicker, formed an al
most Impenetrable wall of Interfer
ence and, UBing It, circled the ends
for gain after gain. On the other
hand, they were unable to gain con
sistently through the line. Georgia,
however, reversed the process. Their
most consistent gains were through
the Vanderbilt line, the end runs
being swamped almost before they
were started.
Hardage, Collins, Sikes and Curlln
were the stellar lights for Vanderbilt.
In open field dodging and In forming
interference they constitute the great
est quartet of players In the South.
For Georgia the entire team fought
hard from start to finish McWhorter
was the best ground gainer. He was
handirapped by lack of interference,
and was unable to get straightened
out fo a long run on this account.
Oorop showed that ne had the goods
when it comes to fighting. He was
mixed In every play, both offensive
i ml defensive. No words of pralae
can express the work of our Captain,
"Emp" Peacock, and that of Lucas.
From start to finish they worked
hard -they contested every Inch of
ground and mixed hi every play.
Malone played a steady, hard-lighting
; n »• from the beginning. To meii-
tlou others would he to mention the
whole team. They lost, but they are
to he congratulated. Every man on
the team fought hard and fought
every minute, from the start to the
finish. We are proud of them.
When they got off the train in
Athens every member of thp student
body, who did not go to Atlanta, met
them, clad In night-shirts, nnd cheer
ed them. This Is Georgia Spirit, and
Its the kind of spirit Hint's going to
boat Auburn and Tech.
The game In detail is given below:
I'lrsl (Jiinrter.
Covington kicked off to yards to
Zack Curlln, who zigzagged hark foi
ls. The Vanderbilt quarter on the
first play went around right end for
SO yards and would Have scored a
touchdown lint for a slip on the sog
gy turf. Collins saw left tackle for
5, but the Commodores were penal
ized 10 for holding. Collins failed
to gain through the Georgia line, and
on Georgia's 20-yard line, Vandy was
forced to kick.
The ball was brought hack to the
20-yard line, and McWhorter hit the
line for 6. Covington fulled to get
away through tackle, and McWhorter
met the same fate Peacock kicked
20 yards to Hardage, who came back
6.
Collins went around left end for
20, and when he was brought low
with a dying tackle, dropped the
swlneskln Curlln recovered It on
the run and crossed the Georgia line
for the first touchdown of the game.
Curlln kicked goal. Score; Vandy, 7;
Georgia, 0.

It hr.s been iinlhorltatlvely nn
nounred lhal the Tech-Georgln game
tills fnll will he played at Police de
bum park There has been some un-
crrtalnty about tills, us It was given
out In AHniitn that II would he played
at Tech Flats. This news will be
welcome to the six hundred hiuI fifty
students ill Georgia and the thou
sands of alumni over the slate and
the south.
The contract has not yet been
signed, but the matter has been fin
ally and definitely settled.
This settlement Is for this year
only, however, and the guinea here
after will be played either ut Ponce
de Leon, which Is considered us neu
tral ground us Georgia hau as many
rtipporfora fn Atlanta ns has Tech, or
II will be played one year nt Tech
Flats and one year at Sunfordd Field
In Athens. If Tech has the accom-
nindatloiis for the crowds ut the
Flats and desires the Atlanta game to
lie played there, this will he satlsfne
tory to Georgia men provided they
alternate the next year and In the
fnll of every even year come to Ath
ens to play the game on our grounds.
In former days the game had to
be played In Atliinta because Athens
could not furnish the crowds, hut of
late years Athens has furnished bet
ter crowds thun many larger cities of
the state, and second only to AHiinfn,
and In baseball not even second to
that city.
The terms and percentages have
not been definitely agreed upon, but
the place has, and this will he good
news in every Georgia man anywhere
