SOUTHERN TEAM
PLAYING TROJANS
Georgia, One of Strongest

LOS A NOBLES, Dec. 13 V-Vhat-ever
the outcome, history will repeat
Itself before some 75.000 persons at
the Olympic stadium here today.
Whether tho University of South

as did the Greets of o!d. history will
repeat.
Unlike Shernrm, however, who
faced virtually no opposition on his
famous march. Coach Howard Jones

through, or over one of the best foot
ball teams ever to Invade the Pacific
coast from the southland.
And on the other hand. Coach
Harry Mehre's Athenian Bulldogs
will enjoy no such mount as the
wooden horse In their attempt to
scale Trey's walls, for Southern Cali
fornia's Trojans have claimed it as
their own since their rise In the
foctball firmament.
Trojans Hate Power
The game promises to be historic
irpetition in the grid game's most
modern form. The towering Trojans
have weight and power in their be
half, the Geonttans are possessors of
speed and surprises of the first water.
Two All-Americans may be the
Hector or the Achilles for their team.
For the Trojans It is Ernie Pinck
ert, a great blocking halfback, who
as an Interference runner has
fcru?hcd aside the opposition, for his
baa earners with marked regularity.
On the defence he has backed up the
line and made well directed passes
futile gestures.
For the Georgians it ts Vsrnon
(Catfish) Smith, end, a great pass
received, an expert at turning back
plays on his aide of the ha
and
fast under punts.
Cieorsbi Liars To Paxs
Both will be riven severe teats.
The Southern gentlemen like noth-pvrr "ntng to ao wttn. but
ing better than to pass, and would this TwnS'' Orxui ts not far behind
like nothinff belter than to flip111- Sysonby was quicker on the
a long one over Piackerta head lor
a touchdown. Southern California
wcuid h happy to turn on the power
over Smith for many yards. j
Kxccpt for the one defeat of the
year by St. Miry s whteh was accom
plished by two lcg passes for touch
down, the Trojans' defense against
an aerial game has been sufficient.
But the fact remains that probably
no team Southern California has
met this season present such a de
termined passing attack: as Georgia.

Branch Rickey doesn't hold any
fancy titles, neither does his salary
come anywhere near matching those
of Commissioner Land is or Babe Ruth,
bui he has again demonstrated his
capacity as one of baseball's most ex
traordinary executives by leading1 the
minor leagues of the country through
a program of almost complete ' reor
ganization. Doctor" Rickey a long time ago
diagnosed baseball's Ills, especially as
they applied to Uie minors. With the
support of Sam Breadon. president
and chief stockholder of the, St. Louis
Cardinals, he has built up the chain
store business to a profitable basis.
Rickey's methods. It now seems cer
tain, will be widely adopted in the
attempt to revive the game's outposts
and sources of major league material.
The chain-store system, or what
ever It may be called, no longer Is
under fire. The New York Yankees.
In buying the Newark club, have
taken a step toward adopting it and
It seems certain the support of other
major leagues will be exteended In
the minor league field far beyond
anything that has existed before.

Party for the Children
We must squeeze in time for a
children's party in seme portion of
this busy holiday season, for there
ts no merrier happening for all of
us. Little folks may be bored to
death to have to be on hand when
grownups give a party for grown
ups, but where In all the land Is there
a grownup who is anything but high
ly entertained when permitted to
disport himself or watch the little
folks carrying through their enter
tainment program at a children's
party?
The success of the children's par
ty depends upon three things: first,
there must be a decorated tree: sec
ond, there must be a Santa Claus;
and third, there must be a gift for
everyone, no matter how tiny it may
be. It Is usually a better plan to
set the table for a children's party
than to attempt to serve very little
folks any other way.. Such gay and
able to extinguish the roof fire be
