U. vs. Southern Ky. College at Clarksville. Tulane vs. Drury College aat New Orleans. Vanderbilt vs. Michigan at Nashville. For a fact, it makes your good football crank sick to look at that lay-out-just to think that he can’t be in about three places at once. There are three games on the list that none of us would miss for a week’s salary, to-wit: Tech-Georgia, Vanderbilt-Michigan and Sewanee-Virginia. And yet, unfortunately we can not spread ourselves out that thin. Of course your real Atlanta football crank can’t see any thing on the gridiron for next Saturday but that Tech-Georgia set-to. . And right now it has every symptom of being a lovely young ruction. A month ago it looked ns though Tech would win by about 40 to 0. But the passing of Sims, Cofer and a few such, and the temporary eclipse of Johnson and a number of like accidents have combined to reduce Tech’s strength. In the meantime Georgia has been steadily improving. The real fun of the thing comes from the uncertainty of it. If you will take Tech students’ words for it, Georgia has Cofer down there practicing regularly. Neyle Colquitt, the Geor gian ’s Savannah correspondent, lias a large hunco that Joe Ros- siter is there and at work. And rumor has located a number pf other football stars on the Athens gridiron. And in the meantime the said gridiron is corked up as tight as a bottle of pop and they might have the whole Yale squad working there and nobody wonld be any the wiser. Nobody seriously thinks that these rumors are true, but the fact that they are going the rounds adds to the general interest. And it doesn't take much, added to the interest in all Tech- Georgia contests, to bring it up to fever heat. The inter-coliege feeling was warm enough up to the last baseball season and was further intensified then by Georgia's action in withdrawing her team from the field before the last scheduled baseball game. So you can count on plenty of football excitement in Atlanta next Saturday and no matter what happens in the way of sensa tions we’ll give a promise in advance not to he surprised—for we’re looking for ’em. As a matter of “artistic” football nobody will try to discount the Vanderbilt-Michigan game. For two years Michigan has downed Vanderbilt in Ann Arbor by safe margins, though last year with any luck, the Commodores would have slaughtered the Wolverines. This year, for the first time ever, Michigan is coming South and will try to win from Vanderbilt on Tennessee soil. That tlio Commodores will give them a stiff argument is the belief of all students of the game. Michigan should have the advantage by at least two touchdowns, but we shall Bee what we shall hear. Says G. Rice in The Tennessean. , Some folks are greatly stirred, I hear— (I’ve caught such rumors In the air)— About the candidates next year Who'll battle tor the White House Chair— I must admit I do not care— The thing which worries mo the moat. Is who will land the major share, When Dan McGugln laces Yost? No other dope -soaks In my ear ,. These autumn days—so cool nnd fair— Wo live but one short life down here And there may be no big games there Across the Styx—where trumpets blare When Southern Pride roeots Western Boast— No gsmes like this—I well can swear, When Dan McGugln faces Yost. Auburn and Tech clash on Tech flate this afternoon In what promise* to be a ripping good game. Auburn Beems a little worried over the prospect, despite the good showing The sympathy of the nverago football crank of Georgia is with Sewanee in her battle with Virginia. The Tennessee team is a S. I. A. A. institution nnd plays in Atlanta. Virginia isn’t and doesn’t. Right now it looks as though the Tigers had a chance. It is hard to tell where to rank them, after their ‘‘in nnd out” work of the last few weeks. But Virginia is not the very best ever this season and the Tigers have a chance. Second only to the three really BIG games come the Auburn- Clemson game nnd the Mercer-Hownrd affair. There are a couple of battles where Greek meets Greek. And the man who picks the winner of cither is entitled to the money. DAVIDSON TEAM IS FIT FOR HOT GAME WITH V.P. I. Special ta The Georgian, Davidson. N. C„ Oct. 26—The Da vidson 'varsity football team left yes terday for Roanoke, Va., where they meet Virginia Polytechnic Institute to day. All the men on the team, ex cept Sadler, are In line shape, and are ready to give the Virginians the fight of their lives. Through the careful training and coaching of Graham, Pol. lard and Fetser, the men have been worked Into a powerful machine, with weight, strength and speed. It Is the best trained team and the fasten that has ever represented Davidson. The line-up for Saturday's game Is: Captain Edgerton, center; Oxford and Daniels, guards; Moore and Dunn, tackles; Klutx and Sadler, ends. In the backfleld Elliot will be found at quarter, Denny at right half. James at left half and Clark at fullback. The substitutes will be Warllck, Wilkerson, 41-2x34 Continental Tires Complete, $38.00 Each Four tires, almost new, never punctured. Not using ear they are on and don’t want them to spoil. Ad dress “Tires," ear® Geor gian. Rankin and Morton. The coaches and Captain Kdgerton haven't made inany predlctlons, but It looks now as If the Virginia Techs had best look out for a surprise. The scrubs, under the care of Assist ant Coach Fetxer, left also for Ashe ville. where they meet the strong Bing ham team. The scrubs have seen and have played lots of football this fall, and good football, too. They are cer tain to give a splendid account of themselves and are expected to put up a great game against the Btnghamltes. While rather light, the scrubs are plucky and well trained. The third team, not to be outdone, has a game in Charlotte with the Young Men's Christian Association team on Satur day. They recently defeated Catawba College 11 to 0. RACE RESULTS. Four Interesting races were run at the fair Friday and good contests were In order. The favorites In the hand books had a pretty good day of It. The results: , ' First Race—Five furlongs: Lady Frankfort, won; Blanche Hamilton, second; Waldorf Belle, third. Time 1:011-6.

Finally steered back on the subject, Mr. Kienholz stated that he believed the teams were evenly matched. He said that he hnd never weighed the men on.hls.team, 'out thought, that they would average under 160. The Tech team Is In corking good condition and seems ready for trouble.

Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Oct. 26. Franjtlln Field's big amphitheater Is ready for the 20.600 cheering enthusi asts who will pack the stands to see the Carlisle Indians line up against the University of Pennsylvania eleven this afternoon In a game for which both teams have been training, for weeks. As this Is the first big game of the year for the Indians, they are deter mined to repeat their victory of a year ago. when they won by the score of 21 to 6. The Quakers have not forgotten this score, either, and for the last two weeks have been preparing for the In dian' formations. The Indian team reached the city last night, and this morning a special train, with nearly 1,000 Carlisle students and Indian girls, with the famous Indian band, came down from Carlisle. No Pennsylvanla-Indlan game Is complete without the Indian girls, who occupy a section In the middle of the north stand and cheer and sing. The Indians’ great backfleld, of which Quarterback Mount Pleasant and Pull back Hauser are the stars, Is expected to be broken more than once by the Pennsylvania men. All week the line has been taught to charge hard and quick and to break through to block klcka. In Mount Pleasant Carlisle has a star drop kick er, and Hauser Is fully as proficient In the kicking from placement. Penn sylvania also has two star kickers In her quarterback and fullback, Reagan and Hollenbeck. BOTH TEAMS FIT. Ithaca. N.

Early this morning both teams had practice on the field, consisting mostly of running through signals and Jogging around the field so as to keep their Joints limber. It was noticed that the Tigers outweighed Cornell by many pounds. NAVY IS HUMBLE. Annapolis, Md., Oct. 26.—The naval academy will present a much changed line-up against Lafayette today. A hard game is expected and the local team will be glad to pull out any kind of a victory against the visitor*. EASY FoIThARVARD. Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 26.—It look* as though Captain Parker, of the Har vard eleven, will not get Into tho game with Springfield Training School today on account of a strained back. If he does not play his place will be taken by Hoar. The Crimson expects to have little difficulty In ripping holes In tho opposing line, which is light. West Point, N. Y., Oct. 26.—Drill held the cadets' attention until nearly dusk yesterday. As a good substitute drop-klcker Clay, a new plebe added to the squad from one of the class teams, blossomed forth, placing them over all angles, much to the Joy of the cadets along the Hide-lines.

Here’s the Dope Sheet on 1908 Southern League Teams Just Notes Here is the official list of players re- •erved for 1(08 by Southern League teams. ’ A glance over the list Indicates that tome club* gave the players re served by them which were sold or drafted by other club*. Other clubs like Atlanta gave only the player* who will actually be with the team next year. Here Is the list: Memphis. Tenn.—Bills. Carey, Carters Crlstall, Colllgan, Huriburt.

Hurrah for Billy Smith, the exalteu troth-leaguer; New Orleans fans are bubbling over with Joy because Atlanta won the pen nant. No, we’re not trying to grow face tious. It’s a fact. Of course If the Pelicans had been In the running till the last It would have been a distinct disappointment to see the Cracker* beat them out. Or If Shreveport had been fighting to the last for the pennant, local fans would have gnashed their teeth over Atlanta’s victory. In fact, If almost any other club In :he league except Memphis had been fighting Atlantia for the rag, the victory of the Crackers, would have sunk local fans Into the pit of. despondency. But It Is a fact that between Atlanta and Memphis three-fourths of the fans In New Orleana wanted to see the trackers win the championship. Reconcile that statement If you can. Memphis Is a western town. Atlanta Is a member of the eastern clique. Memphis has until this Year been a warm friend of New Orleans. She has helped New Orleans and New Orleans has helped her. Atlanta has always been opposed to everything New Orleans was for, nnd he Crackers and Pelicans have ever been bitter enemies. _ But that doesn't cut much Ice with the Ttiit. Tho baseball bugs Of this city are not Influenced by any of Chollv Frank’s quarrels. They always hope • 'see him win, but they have their fa vorites among the other clubs and each leason produces a new favorite The main reason that more Pelican fun* pulled for Atlanta than pulled fc- 'emphls Is that they ndmtred Atlanta's gameness. and they didn't want to see Memphis win on pure luck.

"From the time I landed at Liver pool till I took ship for home at Cher bourg, It seems to me that I have been seeing nothing but bicycles. The roads are black with them on week days ana they fairly clog the highways Sundajs and holidays. , . "Tho remarkable feature concerning the use of bicycles abroad, however, I* not tho mere number that Is used, but the universal manner in which they are employed commercially. The fact the bicycle abroad Is a commercial proposition first, nnd a pleasure vehi cle afterwards. At that there are many more wheels ridden for sport there than there arc here; It hardly needs the evidence of a holiday after noon to prove that. . , ... "It Is safe to say that any buslne” house whose product can be dell'ere —and 90 per cent of all other buslne —use the bicycle In some form, or “ first cousin, tho trl-car.
