$12.95 Bulldogs in Tech-Georgia Freshman Teams and which slightly are reminiscent of the Dodgers in baseball, offered a southern style team today. Ace Parker, who played baseball for the Crackers for a spell last summer, was the new spark plug in the Dodger backfield and one of the lures that brought out a championship crowd to witness a game offering no championship aspects. He, of course, is the best back Duke ever had and one of the best the south had. Playing with him today were Jim Whatley. All Alabama's foes remember him.

And also in the lineup was Ralph Kercheval, the one-time Kentucky star. Father Lumpkin and Stumpy Thomason were playing for the Dodgers before they quit the pro game. Values 2-Year Guarantee! 2-Year Recharge Service! 59 more power than S. A. E.
