M. WILLIAMS. Constitution Staff Writer. BATON ROUGE, Sept. 24.

Upwards of 20,000 fans are ex-pected to witness the first strictly Southeastern Conference football game of the season between Georgia and L. S. U. tomorrow night. It will be a battle of the bantamweights, so to speak, since the Bulldogs and the Tigers are the only Southeastern schools who saw fit to carry on the gridiron profession without suDDort of naval A Roarlv Answpr "North Carolina's lost a mighty fine "Caay Auswcr in Whitmire," a caUer suggested to Bill Alexander yesterday.

Xf vitfggjv, JsTT Ttflj 3( "Yep, North Carolina's lost him but we'll probably see plenty of him when we play the Naval Academy. They don't miss us," Alex replied. Whitmire is due to become a midshipman right away, and so the Alabama star tackle of last season isn't here to throw his weight around against the Jackets in the opening game of the season this afternoon at Grant field. But, as Alex so aptly points out, he'll likely catch up with the Jackets later or. in Baltimore.

There was a lot of the old v- A field will be Bill Schroll, 133-pounder; Carroll Griffith and Gene Knight, both of hcm are listed as 175-pounders. LIGHT GEORGIA BACKS. Georgia will start a backfield averaging just exactly 157 pounds. Johnny Cook, a 150-pounder, will be at tailback; "Rabbit" Smith, wingback; Billy Rutland, fullback and Bobby Hague, blocking back. Rutland, Smith and Hague all tip the scales at around 160 pounds.

If Coach Butts decides to start Edgar Bratten instead of Smith, the Bulldogs will be a little heavier since Edgar weighs 184. But right now he isn't intending to take the "Rabbit" out of hj opening lineup. In front of this quartet of aall carriers will be Benton and Harris at ends: Paul Smith and Simons. Tackles: Castronis and Gerasic, guards, and Meeks center. The game Is scheduled to start at 8 o'clock Atlanta time.

trainees mis season. There is a wide variance of opinion as to the outcome of the game with Coaches Bernie Moore and Wallace Butts locked in one of the bluest singing contests in football history. Georgia supporters would be pleased to let the two sit down and settle the battle in this way since Butts is recognized as one of the best moaners in the business. But rules of the games say there must be 60 minutes of action on the field before a decision is reached. BULLDOGS SELECTED.

Coach Moore has done a swell job of selling local newspapers, however, and believe it or not, more of them are picking tht bulldogs than the Tigers. L. S. U. admits to a better back-field, but says Georgia has such an edge in the forward wall that the Athens aggregation will win out.

Coach Butts, as usual, admits to nothing. Expect a fighting crew of freshman who still think they can win the game. Mainspring of the Bengal attack is Steve Van Buren, a 200-pound tailback who is a senior and a veteran of three campaigns- Van Buren is probably the outstanding tailback in the Southeastern Conference, for in addition to being a great runner, he is a better than average passer. Teaming with him in the back- GMA Beats 6-. larillai uni irln imm mi rmri 1 wii iPnfr strrriiiiiri i The probable lineups: TECH'S TALENTED TAILBACKS Georgia Tech, a slight underdog, takes the field against a potent potpourri of southern and national football stars parading in North Carolina uniforms at Grant Field this afternoon.

However, the Jackets are fairly strong themselves, even though their backfield is not quite equal in "name" stars to the Tarheel crew. At the left is Eddie Prokop, a third-year man at Tech, who will do some of the passing and running from his tailback spot for the Jackets. Shown kicking is Frank (Red) Broyles, a sophomore at Tech, who will start the game at tailback. This will be the ex-Decatur High ace's first varsity grid game. yesterday.

Old grads dropped around and there was an air of expectancy about them. They're looking for Tech to play a fine opening game, in spite of injuries. Frankly, the Old Man has got a lot of as guessing about the opener. Can Tech rule the day regardless of the fact that Mutt Manning, Hoover, Beall and a couple of other fine boys are on the injured list? The opener Is more than ordinarily tough ior the Jackets because of these losses. There is a suspicion, too, that the Carolina backs as a whole are more versatile than those of Tech.

North Carolina rightly roles the favorite, and if Teeh wins this one it will be a mild upset. All things being equal the Jackets would take the field as an even money bet But all things aren't equal today. Vt I tliA Bu Vm not that North Carols Ol in Uie Lag lina nas football game in the bag. Georgia Tech is starting what amounts to last year's team, and the experience is thin, but too well do followers know how the Jackets operate on Grant field. And, as mentioned in an earlier epistle during the week, adversity often serves as a spur for the Tech players.

They're at their best when the going Is toughest. North Carolina arrives early today with a squad of boys that earned letters at numerous southern schools last year. There are the Pooles from Olc Miss and Jack Aland from Alabama. If Whitmire cant play, Aland can. And Aland, good as he is, has had a hard time making the varsity, according to reliable reports.

Carolina is well tar-heeled, as the saying is. That goes for starters as well as reserves. It should be a whale of an opening game. I only wish Tech had fewer Injuries. A team doesn't lose renters like Manning and Hoover and a guard like Beall without suffering a little oit.

But, and it's a persistent thing, the Jackets can throw caution to the winds and make quite a showing anyway. A last-minute rush of ticket buyers indicates there will be a near-capacity crowd at Grant field. There should be. Few games this year will be more attractive. 4 iir.iAn annin 14 was mentioned here the other As to Gridnapping day that shaughnessy, of Pittsburgh, is crying his eyes out over alleged "gridnapping" of some of the Pitt players by Dixie agents.

Coach Alexander may be able to shed some light on the subject. Alex received a communication by wire from a man in Pittsburgh the other day offering a 210-pound back and a fine tackle. Alex sent the communication on to Mike Conner, commissioner of the conference. In the wire it was suggested to Alex that the boys have scholarships to Pittsburgh but are not satisfied with them. The boys had rather come south, it was declared.

And so it may be that Mr. Shaughnessy is barking up the wrong tree. There may be men in Pittsburgh, as the wire Indicates, who are sending Pitt players away where they can get better opportunities in football. At least there is one of these men in Pittsburgh, and Shaugh-nessy's troubles are right at home. They're not the product of Dixie doodling, as he charged.

Expect To Do Lot of Passing Alex To Start Majority of Last Year's B' Team Against N. C. By JACK TROY, Constitution Sports Editor. A spectacular opening football game, with the air filled with passes, is in prospect when Georgia Tech and North Carolina meet at 3 o'clock today at Grant Field.

Injuries have crippled Tech's Une strength, and the Tarheels, coached by Tom Young, are regarded as favorites in the game. The odds makers are unwilling to award the visitors a decided edge. however. Tackle Dan Whitmire has gone to the Naval Academy and veteran End Hussey was left at home because of an injury. ihey insist that there are two things in Tech's favor, the experience of the veteran Bill Alexander and the fact that the.

Jackets have been drilling for a long time. Tech also is playing on Grant field and seldom plays a bad game at home. The winner of th? game Is expected to go on to become one of the great southern powers. As a starting team. Coach Alexander has decided on the majority of last year's team, including four backs who've never appeared in a varsity game and four linemen entirely lacking in game experience.

Coach Alex is curious about at least two things. Tech has no experienced signal caller and the defense against passes is unproved. Mutt Manning, George Hoover and Frank Beall are line casualties and only Manning seems to have a chance to play. Carolina will start a team of considerable experience, and the passing will be taken care of by the fine tailbacks, led by Billy Myers. Bernie Rohling, captain of Vanderbilt last year.

Is a splendid fullback. Many stars of other schools are on the Tarheel squad. Red Broyles and Eddie Prokop will divide most, of Tech's passing and punting. The game will develop quite a bit of running, but it appears that passing will be emphasized by both teai.is. Thus it will be a highly colorful spectacle for the fans.

One of the finest opening game crowds in Tech history is expected. Between 25,000 and 30,000 fans are expected. THt LINEUPS) N. C. Pos.

Boys9 High Easily Wins Over North Fulton, 32-0 By CHARLIE ROBERTS. Last night for almost all of the first quarter Boys High grid machine sputtered and coughed like a Model Ford on the last lap of a trip up Pike's Peak, but finally got warmed up to roll to its third straight victory of the year by bowling over the North Fulton Bulldogs. 32-0, before approximately 3,500 spectators at vvv v. 3 vXs-A-v-: Richmond, no matter how many Navy men Richmond has.

Here you have 20 of the day's leading games. If you feel interested in counter-checking you can let us know how many we have missed. If our advance information is what it should be, the average should stand up with normal years. Two of the top games of the day are Army against Villa-nova and Georgia Tech against North Carolina. And the fur will be knee deep when Purdue runs against Marquette.

4,000 Watch Tech Hifltfi Beat AUGUSTA, Sept. 24. J. Peek's 70-yard sprint in the fading moments of the game featured Tech High's 27-to-0 triumphs over Richmond Academy here before an estimated 4,000 fans. Holding an advantage in size and weight, Coach Allen Shi's charges wore the Musketeers down gradually to roll up their margin.

The Techmen took the opening kickoff and drove steadi ly for their initial tally despite a 15-yard penalty setback. George Vlass cracked Richmond's line time and again to carry the Smithies deep into pay dirt, where Fred Mullis crossed the stripes. Harry Smith plowed through for the extra point. Coach Bernie Ward's lads buckled down to play a jam-up defense game, holding the invaders in check until well into the third stanza. In that auarter.

after a Richmond fumble had ruined their own serious scorlne threat, the ho JlLI i omumes, iea Dy viass, strove near the goal posts, where Peek bucked tne ban over. Harry Smith ran for Tech's point. With Coach Shi. using his re serves to tire the locals. Tech once again began a sustained push down into enemy territory.

This time it was Harry Smith who made the touchdown and Harrison who ran across the point. Then in the fading light of the contest Peek caught the Augusta team off guard, bundled the sphere snugly in his arms and chugged 70 yards across the touchdown line, with a Musketeer tackier missing him by inches at the goal posts. Tech's fourth trv on the ground for the extra point was DiocKea. Undisputably outstanding in their performance were George Vlass, Harry Smith, Peek and Chandler for the invaders. For the Musketeers, blond Billy Seig ler and ex-mid die "Cotton" Cul pepper paced the futile offensive with End Henry Whitehead doing a commendable Job on the defensive.

The Tech steamroller was hailed as one of the strongest contenders for the Georgia Interscholastic Athletic Association title this year, along with Savannah and Boys High, by coaches, writers and fans alike after the game. The Smithies' reserve may well mean the difference between a success ful and a mediocre 1943 season. PHILS BUY OUTFIELDER. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.

Northwestern's strong outfit rolls against Indiana as Ohio State hooks up with Iowa Navy. Purdue has a rough afternoon' with Marquette. The big games on the west coast bring out Southern California and U. C. L.

A. with California thrown against St. Mary's. In the southwest M. U.

has a party with Tulsa. These mentioned are all among the more important contests, not overlooking the Cornell-Sampson Naval soiree at Ithaca. The Selections Offering no alibis or apologies in advance here are our selections I. Army to beat Villanova In one of Army's hardest games. Douglas Kenna, of Army, is picked as the star of the game.

2. Navy over N. C. Freflitfht. Navy In another hard service Jamboree.

3. Pennsylvania a trifle better than a good Princeton team. 4. Georgia Tech in a hard game with North Carolina where the Golden Tornado Is rated a notch over the Tarheels, who are first class. 5.

Southern California a jump over U. C. L. a city rival that should lure out some 70,000 spectators. Southern California is well above average.

6. California's strong squad should handle St. Mary's. California now has most of the Stanford rookies, plus able Navy help. 7.

Notre Dame too fast for an unknown Pittsburgh team. Clark Shauchnessy, head man of the T-formatlon, must face the same form of attack. 8. The Georgia-L. S.

U. show at Baton Rouge is more of a guess. We'll string with Louisiana State. 9. Minnesota has lost many good men, some to Michigan.

Missouri has lost more good men. Minnesota still has her old-fashioned physical power, so we'll pick the Gopher. 10. Penn. State should win from Bucknell.

11. Colgate has a hard game with Rochester. There is no easy choice here. The guess is Colgate. 12.

Northwestern, another of the stronger teams, should handle Indiana. Northwestern may' be one of the best. 13. Southern Methodist over Tulsa. 14.

Sampson Naval under the care of Mai Stevens has too much manpower for Cornell. 15. We like Great Lakes above Iowa. 16. The Purdue Marquette game can be one of the best of the day.

Purdue looked the choice until Marquette showed unexpected strength. We still like Purdue, but It will be no upset, either way. 17. Michigan ean call the score against Western Michigan unless the latter has several 16-Inch Navy guns on hand. 18.

Yale is picked over Coast Guard. A pretty fast, smart Yale team. 19. Wartmouth should win from Holy Cross on Sunday. Dartmouth is one of the best in the east.

They never made a threatening gesture toward the Purples' goaL rt'RPLE BACKS FAST.

Shorty Doyal's horde of speedy backs were simply too fast for the Bulldogs. Pilph Ewing again sparked the attack by romping to three touchdowns. Dick Sewell and Veazey LeCraw, who tallied the other scores, also looked great as did Tom Thumb Freeman, Ray Echols, Bobby Chastain and some of the others Doyle shot into the play. The Hurricane forewall gave its best performance of the season and shared honors with the more-publicized ball carriers. Red Be-thea, looking like one of the top guards of the year, was making deadly tackles all night Whitey Pope was not far behind.

The game started as a battle between big and capable forewalls and neither team made any appreciable gains until the last 30 seconds of the first period. Without warning. Boys' High executed one well-nigh perfect play which gave them a 6-0 lead.

Hodge had just kicked out of bounds at the Purple 20-yard stripe. On the first play the Purple backfield faked the ball cleverly and before the Bulldogs could locate the oval Dick Sewell had emerged from the pack and was racing dcwnfield on a 80-yard jaunt for the touchdown. That softened the Bulldogs and started the Purples to clicking. They came surging back to rack up two more touchdowns in the second quarter and quit the field with a 19-0 lead at Intermission. The first one came on a 69-yard march the next time they got their hands on the pigskin.

An 11-yard sprint by LeCraw, followed by a lateral, Echols to Sewell, that picked up 19 yards, closed the gap before Ewing skirted right end for the 11 yards between him and Day-dirt to give the Purples a 12-0 lead.
