Beat Georgia' Is Theme of Huge Pre-Game Parade, Music Units Lend Color
Floats, bathing beauties, and marching bands combined in a mammoth pre-game parade last night to leave little doubt in the minds of several thousand spectators that Miami will "Beat Georgia” in tomorrow night’s clash with the Georgia Bulldogs.	. .
Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, tak'n* first prise in the float contest, had Georgia “in the doghouse with Beauty Queen, Pat Hollar«, and Irmagard Dictel gracing the float in bathing suits.
The Pi Chi's, tolling the death knell for Georgia and digging a grave in the heat Hamlet tradition, were awarded runner-up honors in the competition. Third prise winner was Phi Alpha fraternity with its hospital scene, the Georgia bulldog trembling before Miami's surgical knife.
The Beta Phi Alpha truck with its life-sise cow and the sign, "Were gonna beat Georgia and this am t no hull!”, took fourth prise.
Other outstanding entrants included the Kappa Kappa Gamma football shoe, the Chi Omega drum, and the Phi Epsilon Pi steps theme.
The parade, one of the largest in the history of Miami, included more than 17 mimical unit« and floats, was planned as a prelude to the flnale of the University football season between Miami and the University of Georgia tomorrow night at Roddey Burdine stadium.

Mischa Elman Opens Concert Season Dec. 8
Girriel Hits Ceiling, Makes Wager, Pays Off As Per Promise
Be good boys and girls, study your lessons, and you, too, may hit the jackpot I
Indead, dear readers, an innovation has come to the University of Miami. It’s thirty dollars every Thursday in California, but it's a double fin to the student who knows his lessons here. That’s what Mr. Stewart Girriel, professor in the School of Business Ad paid out yesterday when his class was apparently unprepared.
It seems that Mr. G’s class in Econ. 101 was at a lots when it came to knowing the "ive points that prove the American standard of living is the greatest in the world.
So up chirps the perturbed prof: “I’ll give ten bucks to any student who can put the lesson on the blackboard.’’
Two students, Bill Bagby and Emil Benson, made the grade. They each received a fiver—Benson refused the money. Today, all Mr. G’s students are studying like Rhodes scholars.
Beta Phi Takes ScliolarshipCup For Fifth Time
Beta Phi Alpha social sorority was awarded the Panhellenic Scholarship Cup last week for the fifth consecutive year at a meeting of the City Panhellenic. The sorority has led other University sororities in scholarship rating during that time, this year attaining an average of 83.62.
Kappa Kappa Gamma was runner-up for the cup this year with an average of 80.82, followed closely by Alpha Theta, 80.74. Alpha Epsilon Phi made an average of 80.64; Chi Omega, 80.62; Delta Tau, 79; and Zeta Tau Alpha, 78.
McMaster Speaker At YMCA Vespers
University Y.M.C.A. will inaugurate a vespers service series next Sunday at 4 p.m. in the auditorium, with the cooperation of Dr. Arnold Volpe and the symphony orchestra and the Congregational church chorus led by Mrs. Frances Hovey Bergh. Dr. W. H. McMaster, head of the University English department, will deliver the sermon on the subject, “A Grown-Up Religion.’’
The services, to be held regularly the first Sunday of each month, are planned primarily for the benefit of University students. Formal program, which will not exceed one hour, will be followed by a religious forum in the social hall.
Plans for the vespers were made at a YM Thanksgiving breakfast last week at which Dr. Bowman Ashe, Dr. McMaster, and Paul E. Eckel, were special guests.
Mischa Elman and the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Arnold Volpe will open the University winter concert series next Thursday at 8:30 p.m. in orchestra hall.
Program for the season’s premier concert lists the works of the Romantic Era composers represented by Wagner, Tschaikowsky, and Brahms.
Violinist Elman, assisting artist of the evening, next Thursday makes his first appearance on American soil since the early part of last year when he left for an extended concert tour through South America and the West Indies. Last concert of Mr. Elman’s Latin-American tour will be given in Havana this week end after which he will arrive in Miami for his appearance with the University orchestra.
The acclaim showered upon Elman during his recent tour is nothing new to this veteran of the concert stage. He was similarly acclaimed as a child prodigy of six years of age. Those early days of hardship and privation in Czarist Russia were the foundation upon which the virtuoso bases his ability and knowledge.
The young Elman finally managed to get an audition by the greatest of all violin teachers, Leopold Auer, who recognized his talent and granted him a personal scholarship. From then on it was smooth sailing for Mr. Elman. He has concertized all over Europe and has been acclaimed by leading critics as the premier violinist of his age.
Students will be admitted to orchestra hall upon presentation of their student activity books, Mrs. Marie Volpe announces, but only if the books are carried by their owners.
Eight Make Varsity Debate Squad
Eight men were selected from a field of thirteen to represent the University of Miami in inter-collegiate debates, at tryouts held November 22.
Those selected include: Richard Arend, Benjamin Axelroad, Robert Crane, Charles Eisenwinter, Jack Madigan, Daniel Satin, Milton Was-man, Jerome Weinkle.
The team will meet opponents for home debates in January and the first part of February, will make tours of Flordia and the East Coast in February and March.
Lack of Advertising Holds Up Review
Failure of national advertising contracts to materialize will prevent the Miami Review, student magazine, from appearing until after Christmas vacation, according to an announcement today by Simon Hochberger, faculty adviser.
Advertising contracts were signed last Bummer, when ten issues of the magazine were planned. No accounts, however, have been assigned any new college magazine this year, necessitating the present postponement.
Work on the Review will continue. Material sufficient for one issue has already been obtained, and new contributions may be submitted at room 215.
Players Get $150;Tennis Nets the Bird
Senate Hears Petitions For Increased Allotments: May Raise Activity Fund
Tennis and the dramatics department fought it out for additional allotments from the student activity fund before the Student Senate last week. The tennis petition was again shelved, while the dramatists wound up with $150 to tide them over for this term.
A1 Teeter, championing the tennis cause, asked for a raise from $300 to $500, explaining the present appropriation was inadequate since cost of tennis balls alone r.uns over $100.
Norman Worthington, senior senator, questioned why the money should be appropriated at the present time when it is not needed by the team until the next term.
“To Know Where He Standi’’
Teeter explained that “Mulloy wished to know where he stood,” but upon persuasion himself moved to shelve the petition until next term since the senate was pressed for funds.
Presenting a detailed budget of dramatics department expenses, Speed Marvin asked for an allotment of $300.
Brisk discussion among the senators followed Marvin’s request. Eddie Baumgarten, Music School senator, protested that the activity fund was not meant to be used as a University publicity fund but primarily for the use of the students. Plays presented by the drama department, he contended, served many more students than does the tennis team which plays most of its important games away from Miami.
Satin’« Motion Amended
Dan Satin, sophomore senator, made a motion for the $300 appropriation, but retracted it upon the request of President Joe Thomas. The motion was amended to $150, which was seconded and passed by the senate.
With less than $300 left in the senate reserve fund from the original $8600 of the student activity budget, the senate debated the advisability of raising the student activity fee to cover future petitions from campus organizations. Teeter, Worthington, Baumgarten, and Dot Ashe were appointed a committee to consider the raise.
'Her T emporary Husband’Billed For Dec. 6 and 7
“Her Temporary Husband,” a far-cial comedy, will be presented next Tuesday and Wednesday nights by the University players with Max Marvin, Jack Madigan, Walter Cunningham, Dan Satin, Marie Coleman, and Peggy O’Donnell included in the cast.
This, the third presentation of the season, will feature a new policy for the audience. Students will be ad-j rnitted Tuesday night only with no j reserved seats. Wednesday night the actors will play to a house of faculty j members and the general public.
! The next production is scheduled for the following week. It will be the “Trail of the Lonesome Pine.” The j cast has not yet been announced.
Panhellenic Scores ’Hot Box Rushing’
Four University co-eds returned laBt week from the Southeastern Regional National Panhellenic conference held in Athens, Georgia, with the University of Georgia as host.
Eleanor E. Matteson, president of the University Panhellenic; Mildred Harrison, president of Alpha Omega, made the trip with Mrs. William Bordeaux, president of the Chi Omega Alumnae, chaperoning.
Convention program included teas, formal meetings, lectures, and open forums at which the problems of university sorority life were discussed. The conference debated deferred pledging and the quota system, condemned “hot box” rushing and the stressing of the social aspects of University life to the detriment of scholarship.
HAIL AND FAREWELL FOR THESE
Here are four nobles of the football gentry who will be giving their all tomorrow night. For the final whistle of the Mlami-Georgia game rings down the curtain on their respective grid careers. Csaky, Hamilton, Dunn, Bolash, all names long to be remembered in Hurricane annals.

How To Avert A Determined Viper: Sa-wing It, Brother, Sa-wing It!
By Dorothy Hawkins
Over a cup of coffee and a cigarette, S. W. Girriel, the Richard Hali-burton of the School of Business Administration, amid the chatter and clatter of the Soda Shop, told a story of Arabian adventure and peril that was a reporter’s dream; a story that might be titled, “On Borrowed Time.”
Oblivious to the commonplace atmosphere of dinks and cokes and bridge games, Girriel’s audience learned that Arabs are not our enemies, but Turks are; a viper can be soothed by a steady monotonous hum; there are ruins of ancient Roman cities in the mountain and desert waste of Arabia; that the Sultan of Turkey offers no protection to those who travel in the bandit-infested sections.
Girriel’s story was evolved from a trip he made through Arabia with a small party. Having been warned by natives and the government that they might be attacked by gold-crazed Turks at any time, Girriel’s party tried to seek comparatively protected places to camp. On the particular night of his adventure, our intrepid hero and another gentleman took water and food and started out on horseback to do a little exploring. In record time they were lost. Making their way cautiously they tried to find their way back, only to walk right into fusillade of bullets. Turks!
Girriel and his friend parted company. The former, wildly seeking a place of refuge, came upon the ruin of an old Roman village, jumped off his horse, and slipped into the cellar of a building. Panting and frightened, he lay against the wall, heard his horse ride off into the night, and then silence. Regaining courage, he began to investigate his surroundings, and to his displeasure felt something soft and pliable, like a bag full of clothes. His hand traveled up and down the object and met with a face. A dead face! With loathing and curiosity, he investigated further. There were three of them. All Turks and all dead. Leaning back to relax, he heard a has, hss, hss. Snakes! Deadly Arabian
vipers! “Turks on the outside, dead bodies and snakes on the inside!! What a situation!” says Girriel.
Slowly and rhythmically (snakes are less apt to harm you if your motions are in rhythm) Girriel made a whip out of the dead men’s culottes and then suddenly beat the snakes into a state of unconsciousness. Still hearing several hisses, but not being able to locate them in the dark, he piled the three bodies up and sat on them. Happily, the morning was soon to follow. The building was old and decayed and several of the blocks in the cellar wall had sunken in making steps. By these Mr. G:rriel made his exit, slowly and fearfully, to be sure, hoping that perchance the Turks had gone home to breakfast. They were not there. Not far from the ruins he met his friend of the night before, and they went back to camp together. He learned that the Turks had sacked the camp the previous night, although no one was injured His horse, a beautiful and clever chestnut Arabian steed, had found his way back to camp. (This horse in a later expedition slipped down a mountainside and broke his neck. Girriel jumped off just in time. Ah, but there’s another story.)
While today Mr. Girriel should he n bunch of bones drying in the Arabian sun, by every clause of the seven lives’ rule, he instead bustles about school, beaming upon everyone, loving the students, and looking forward to his next boat trip. (He loves to sit on deck and sip his after dinner liqueur.)
Law Students, Juniors To Be Photographed Next
All members of the junior class and all Law School students will be photographed for the Ibis next week, according to Editor Phil Fenigson. He further announces that tomorrow is the deadline for the taking of sorority pictures, and for the return of senior picture proofs.
Tilt Will Be Grid Finale For 4 Seniors
Hardingmcn Seek Revenge For 1937 Defeat; Expected To Use New Aerial Attack
By Brad Boyle
Eager to avenge a 26-0 defeat handed them by an inspired University of Georgia ball club last year in 'he dedication game of the Burdine Stadium, the Hurricanes, led by All-America candidate Captain Eddie Dunn, will attempt to smash out a victory over the Bulldogs tomorrow night.
Four seniors will wear Hurricane colors for the last time tomorrow night. In addition to Dunn, they include Andy Csaky, the great blocking back, and reserve linemen George Hamilton and Johnny Bolash. Dunn, so far this year has scored at least once in every ball game except the Catholic U. fiasco, and has piled up 85 points, a record unequalled by any other Miami player to date.
Georgia Full of Tricks
Georgia, under the tutelage of Joel Hunt, who replaced Harry Mehre as head coach, this year abandoned the Notre Dame style taught by Mehre and will bring to this game a double-wing formation which features the so-called “razzle-dazzle.” Tricky down-field laterals, the time-honored "statue of Liberty,” mouse-traps and flea-flickers all are part of the Bulldog repertoire and they are expected to unlimber all their artillery in an early scoring drive.
Miami, completing its second year with Jack Harding and Hart Morris at the helm, uncovered a deadly passing attack in the Duquesne game; bowed great improvement when they completed 5 out of 7 tosses in the Bucknell game last week, and on a hunch, we think the Corcoran-to-Dunn aerial combination should click in this game.
Best Record To Date
This year’s record is probably the best that any Hurricane club has ever set, considering the caliber of opposition. Miami has lost only two games this season, an 18-6 defeat by Drake, and the 7-0 Catholic U. upset. The Hurricanes have vanquished Spring Hill, Tampa, Rollins, Oglethorpe, Florida, Bucknell and Duquesne. The Hurricanes have amassed 206 points to the opposition’s 45; have four shut-outs to their credit, and Drake is the only club that has scored more than 7 points against them.
Georgia, on the other hand has scored in every game and has been scored on at least once each game, with the exception of the Georgia Tech clash which resulted in a 0-0 deadlock.
Only Three Defeats For Ga.
To date the Bulldogs have clicked for 138 markers to 129 for their opposition. They hold victories over Furman, the Citadel, Mercer, South Carolina, and Florida; tied Georgia Tech; and have dropped one-sided decisions to Auburn, Tulane and Holy Cross.
The Bulldog forward wall this year is composed of experienced veterans, but only Captain Lumpkin at center, and Knox Eldredge at end, are holdovers from the starting line which greeted the Hurricanes last year. Salisbury, who was a guard last year, wus shifted to the blocking post this Year, and for the first few games dismayed many weaknesses. However, reports from the last three games which Georgia has played, indicate that he has finally adapted himself to his new position and will no doubt be a potent offensive factor whenever needed.
Hartman Chief Bulldog Threat
On the wings for the Bulldogs will be Cate and Stevens, with Hartman in the tail. Hartman, a 200-pounder, ¡it the present time ranks as the second high scorer in the Southeastern conference, being second only to the great Parker Hall of Mississippi. Cate s a tiny, shifty climax runner and was largely responsible for Miami’s defeat last year.
Stevens, who will start at the left half position for the Bulldogs, showed much early season speed last year, hut suffered a broken leg and did not play against the Hurricanes last year.
Of the reserve backs, Mims, Hun-nicutt and Hise seem the best. Hise, a triple-threat star while at Miami Edison high school, has seen a great
