The day before the memorial ceremony for Tirebiter I, plans were already being made to find a successor of some sort for the mascot. A ballot was printed in the "Daily Trojan" with choices of "George Jr. , Other Animal, Statue of George, or Other Object.". Nominations of all sorts began to pour in from the student body. Through one day of voting, Delta Tau Delta's pedigreed boxer "Sully" led the voting. Behind him were the Trojan Knights's proposed successor "George Jr.", who they claimed was Tirebiter I's son, and the Acacia fraternity's bulldog "Pythagoras." In addition to these early leaders, a variety of other canines and memorials were proposed.
