If you are desirous of getting the hunch that the athletic affairs of the Southern Colleges are in the worst condition ever you are entitled to a brief tnlk with Coach Kicnholz, formerly of the University of Wisconsin, now coaching the Auburn team. Mr. Kienholz has a string of charges as long as your arm, embracing, with full particulars, men on Tech, Georgia, Sewaneo and Alabama teams. His chief charge against Tech is that the local team is playing Davis. The Auburn coach says that Davis is a professional base ball player and that he played Inst year with a college team— to-wit: that of American University. The ranking committee has settled the standing of American University. If Mr. Kienholz will put his other charges against Davis in writing they will no doubt be promptly taken up. His charges against Georgia and Scwanee are decidedly gen eral Against Alabama ho mentions names and claims that the Tuscaloosa team is playing at least four ringers. It is the opinion of local football cranks that Mr. Kienholz has been more or less misled by groundless rumors. Talk of the same character has been going the rounds here for some time— but nothing definite has been uncovered. The feeling is growing stronger here each day, however, that the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be forced to adopt a rule—which has so often been proposed—which will provide that no mnn may play football with any college team until he has been with that college as a regular student one year. This rule has been talked of for a long time, but it has been turned down as often ns brought up because it was felt that so many Southern colleges have so few men to draw from anyway that it was a mistake to further limit the number. , If there is no way out of the present undesirable situation, however, the S. I. A. A. will undoubtedly see its duty and do it. This proposed one-year rule would do more to prevent pro. •'essionalism and the offering of illegitimate inducements than iny other rulo which could be adopted. And it practically en forces itself. It is pretty hard to prevent professionalism and ncar-pro- fessionalism under the present rules. There is no doubt in. the minds of any of the initiated, but that the prominent and wealthy alumni of various colleges of the South are paving the way of good athletics who are going to college. They “lend” the money to the man on notes and in case of a pinch can produce the notes. There is nothing on the face of them to show an obvious fact, towit: That nobody has any notion that the note will ever be payed. But no man is coming to college just for the nthletio end and stick it out for a year beforo he is allowed to play in a single regular game. Nor is any professional, no matter how big his salary, going to study and keep up in his classes for a whom year in order to play the following year. It seems to me that the South is on the edge of the “You- Can’t-Play-Till-You’vo-Been-In-Collcge-One-Year” rule, and the sooner it is passed the better. ORGANIZED BASEBALL THREATENED BY WAR American Association Wants Major League Protection, and Smaller Leagues Have Grievances. By SAM CRANE. Ntw York, Oct. 30.—At a conference between the Eastern League und the American Association at the Victoria Hotel, no amicable arrangement was arrived at as to an exact classification for the two organizations. The American Aasoclatton'a delegates were still defiant In their attitude against the National Commission and say they will surely break away from It and organised ball unless the major protecUon Is given. The Eastern League representatives were more conservative, but they too will ask for Increased protection, but make no threats. After a session last ing three hours without results, the conference adjourned until today. The national association Itself Is on the verge of revolt, and It will not take much to stir the entire body Into re bellion. Today's happenings will probably setUe the question whether there will be war or not. The situation Is grave. If the more conservative element among the national association dele gates who deplore another busebatl war on account of Injury to the game which will result, ran convince radicals that war Is the last resort, then things may be smoothed over. It looks at present as If the national association will have to grant several concessions In the way or protection of class A clubs. One delegate produces letters from two big league dubs which otter for sole to a minor league club players who have just been drafted, lyjs a fact, too, as one delegate states,, that several big league clubs have si\d back to minor league clubs the same players the for mer have drafted and at a largely In' creased price—sometimes at nearly double. The St. Louis National League club was mentioned by a delegate as one of the chief offenders In this obviously unfair practice. Certain major league clubs are also charged with being so greedy that they draft any number of players they can not use. A. A. C. Golf Players Are Qualifying For Trawick Cup VICTIM PLAYERS WORKING Weeks Makes Only Feeble Effort to Beat A. Attell. Says Mr. Kienholz, "I am sorry to see conditions in the South as bad aa they are. The North went through it a few years ago and just escaped with football intact. For awhile it looked as though the game was going to be abolished entirely. And it is too good a game to go.” “The South is in a bad way athletically. If they don’t put through some reforms football is likely to be blacklisted. People don’t want to see a lot of hired men play. If they did they would pay better to see professional football. But they don’t care a snap for anything but strictly amateur games.” O000O00O00000000000000Q000 O TO A. A. C. QOLFER3 ONLY. O Go out thla week and qualify O O for the Trawick cup.

There seems to be a mistaken notion that handicaps are not counted In the qualifying round. They are, and pres ent Indications point to the probability that some of the 16, 18 and 24 handicap men will get In the race for the big cup. 341-2x4 Continental Tires Complete, $38.00 Each By C. E. VAN LOAN. Los Angeles, Oct. 30.—A new feath erweight champion of the world? Not yet.. Not even soon. , Abraham Attell, of California, la still the vest-pocket Jeffries of the feather weight brigade and the greatest little man of his Inches In the world. Freddy Weeks, the color changer, lasted four rounds—three of them by Attell's cour tssy. Had the champion been disposed to rtish matters, the fight would have been over Inside of two minutes. The very first time that Abe's whlxslng right hand landed full on the point of the chin, Weeks staggered back to the ropes, groggy and all but helpless. An other right on the chin would havo sent Weeks to the floor for the count, but Ariel), with an eye to pleasing the crowd, missed various wallops and at lowed Weeks to recuperate. After steering hla latest victim down "queer street" Abe toyed with him for two rounds and then wound up the string. After five clean knockdowns In the four rounds, Marcus Durand tossed the sponge Into the ring. He might have thrown It sooner without criticism, but said he wanted to make sure that there would be no claim that Weeks was a quitter. The fight, short In point of fighting on Attell’s part, was quite long enough to prove that Freddie Weeks has no right to cast an eye on the feather weight championship as long as Attell retains his present form. At the bell, Weeks came out of his corner with the regulation fighting step. Attell came up chewing gum, as usual, feinted n couple of times, advanced his nose cautiously and then pulled back us Weeks stepped In with a left prod to the body. Just to show the Colorado man that he could not take liberties, Abe shot two lightning lefts to the nose, poking Weeks’ head back. Then Attell began a steady tattoo on Weeks' face, landing two lefts and two rights, ending with a short right across on the point of the chin, which shook Weeks from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. This was the punch which started the trouble and Weeks drew away, his legs stiffening and his knees sprawling apart. Just before the bell rang Weeks’ head clear ed and he made a good finish, landing one hard right uppercut. In the second round Weeks made his best showing. Attell dropped his clev erness and came In close, giving Fred- dlo a chance to use.his most effective punches and he lost no opportunity. Several times Weeks threw his left arm around Attell’s neck and tried to land the right to the Jaw while holding. For this he was warned three times In the second round, the fourth warning com ing when he poked his elbow under Abe’s chin and gave h|m a vicious dig. The bell found the men roughing It at close quarters In the middle of the ring. At the beginning of the fourth round Abo bogan to wind up the string. At tell meant business when he started out. There was steam In the first blow which was landed, a straight right poke on the eye. Weeks was fighting blindly without a chance to land a punch. A left uppercut threw Weeks wide open and for the second time the snappy right cross caught the Colorado boy flush on the point of the chin. He dropped like a shot, rolled over to his knees and crawled toward the center of the ring. Weeks onco more reached Ills feet and Eyton motioned to Attell to continue. The champion stepped In aenln and once more Weeks went sprawling from the effects of a short Jolt on the chin. Weeks lost his head completely, did not try to take a long count to clear his head, but got up as soon as he could claw his way Into an upright position, and once more Attell dropped him. This time Weeks skated forward on his face. Again he came up nnd went down, and then the towel flew Into the ring. Attell ran over to newspaper row and waved his hands: 'Oh, these comers! These comers! he said. "Where will they get the next one?" And that Is the question. Where will they get a man to give this little He brew a fight? Ho Is as much atone In his class as Jeffries ever was—more so. ARMY NOT TAKING CHANCES. West Point, Oct. 30.—The cadets are In hard practice In preparation for Sat. urday’s contest with Colgate. The game has never proved much of a prob lem to the soldiers, but this year, hav ing reached the halfway point In their season without being scored upon, the cadets are Justly proud, and no chances are to be taken that a fumble may al low a weaker team to spoil this record. CLODFELTER. CREEL. These three men have played star ball with the Dalilonega team this year and did brilliant work In the Tech game.

Nashville. Tenn., Oct. 30.—There was no scrimmage on Dudley Field yes terday, but vigorous signal practice was Indulged In. All of the men came out of the Rose game In good condition, barring a few bruises. The ’varsity was lined up yesterday and received the kick-off, and consider able drilling took place, with a view of better Interference upon the return of the kick-ore. Bob Blake kicked a good many goals from placement, and he will doubtless spend plenty of time prac ticing at this during the remainder of the week. Coach McGugln had the following to say regarding the Rose game: “I would rather have had the team defeat Rose 30 to 0 and give all of our plays a thorough try-out. than to have won 100 to 0 on a. few of our old formations, which we have had suffi cient practice both In and out of games. I don't want to take any credit away from Rose for her score, because her men were very alert and followed the ball well, and deserved the touchdown she obtained. Bell was on the ball like a Hash and under way rapidly. We should have blocked the place kick, however, aa the kicker was pretty much unprotected, and our forwards did not charge through with much aggressive ness. We were weak with Interference on the return of kick-offs and Indulged In too much fumbling, which is really the unpardonable sin of football. Athens Team Straining Every Nerve to Defeat Tech. Speclnl to The Georgian. Athens. Ga.. Oct. 30.—The Georgia team is slowly working out the kinks which came with the recent rub against Alabama, and the men are gradually getting back Into form again. Har man has been in poor shape since the Tennessee game, and It Is extremely doubtful If he will play Ills'usual game If used Saturday against Tech. Mc Ghee seems to be in a bad way, and it will take the best efforts of the coach to put him In the proper condi tion. The other members of the team, ex cept for a few minor injuries, will be fit for the'* contest unless accidents galore happen between now and Sat urday. Secret practice, as for some time past has been in progress, and what enthusiasm the students have, is nec essarily kept bottled up, to be let loose at the ttnal count. The massive wails which surround Herty Field look unusually formidable at present and few outsiders, even those most anx iously interested In the team's welfare, are bold enough to take a peep In side. A few who know say the process of reorganization recently begun Is still Incomplete, and that the two teams which practice signals every afternoon are not to be distinguished by the usual names of 'varsity and scrubs. Some of the oldest and most expe rienced players are In the line-up with a bunch of recruits one day and the next are seen In an entirely different eleven. Thus It Is that one man might guess at which is 'varsity and the companion at his side take the other team as Cpach Whitney’s “pick.” Various rumors are current as to what men will play Saturday, but the student body—not to mention the oth ers who see the game—will not know the exact line-up until the whistle blows. Physical Director Sanford announces that George Butler has been secured to referee, and that Professor Higgs, of Clemson, and Henry Phillips, of Se- wanee, are being sought as the other two officials. A hundred students or more will leave Athens Friday afternoon for Atlanta, and others will follow Saturday morn ing. It Is expected that four hundred men. In addition to the city contingent, will be on hand to w it ness the game. SENIORS DOWN "SOPH” TEAM Special to The Ocorlgan. Emory College, Oxford, Ga., Oct. 30. For the first time this season the senior and sophomore teame, consld cred by many the two best teams In college, .met Tuesday afternoon on the Weber athletic field. The seniors won by a score of 17 to 0. The game was hard fought by the sophomores, but the seniors mado al most unceasing gains. The result of this game puts the seniors In the lead In the pennant race with the Juniors and sophomores tied for second place. For the seniors Sullivan. Orr and Robinson made good gains, while the tackling of Smith and Felker was ex cellent. Clay, Edmondson and Lewis were the freshmen stars. The feature of the game was Robinson’s thlrty-flve yard run for a touchdown. The line-up follow*: Senior*. Sophomores. Strickland, Wood, .c GEORGIA SA WS WOOD Athens, Ga., Oct. 30.—The coming game of football to be played in At lanta Saturday between the University of Georgia and Tech gives promise of being one of the hardest contested games ever played on a college grid iron. There are all kinds of rumors afloat concerning the line-up of the Uni versity team, and your correspondent has been running them down for the paat two or three days with the following results: There Is a deal of Interest as well as mystery connected with the prac tice of’ the university team. For several weeks the men have been practicing behind curtains, and the lid Is on ”gqpd and proper.” No one, not even the students, is admit ted to the practice games, but this seerns to be more for the purpose of keeping the students and citizens from Interfering with the practice than anything else. It is a fact that no one attempts to contradict that Joe Rosslter Is with the team and practicing hard every day, but it can not be learned whether he will be played in the Tech-Georgia game or not. It Is very probable that he will. The students seem to be ns Ignorant of the doings of the team as the citizens, and it is almost Impossible to get any reliable Information as It has token at least two days to run down rumors and ascertain the few facts. pnntnInoil In thin nrtlnlp contained In this article. The university boys believe that forewarned Is forearmed, therefore player’ Is’In the linlver-’ slty, but it Is not known whether he will be played In the game with Tech. There •* also a H. B. Bostwlck In the university who has been here for two or three seasons and has been on the scrub team. He Is the son of a largo planter at Bostwlck, Ga. It is unlikely that he will be played In this game. George S. Whitney, the coach, Is from Bchenectady, N. Y. He Is the only New Yorker known to be on tho campus. Coach Whitney has saved his best /pen for the Tech-Georgia contest, only putting forward enough strength to defeat the weaker teams he has played. The whole town seems to be enthused with the football spirit, and everybody that can get away from business will go over Saturday to root for the university team. And Atlanta will contain more Athenians next Saturday than hove ever been In the city at any ono time previously. So general Is the spirit that the small boy* and school children are talking football, nnd every one who has enough money says he’s going to At lanta Saturday. A man of extraordinary ability from Georgetown University has been on the grounds for the past two weeks assisting Coach Whitney Your correspondent was unable to learn his name, but It Is generally known that he makes nepeclatty of coaching the back field. It Is an evident fact that the boys are doing nothing but practice, practice, practice, with the one purpose of "walloping” Tech, nnd there seems to bo a willingness to back the Georgia team to any extent.

There Is no discounting the poorly suppressed excitement over the affair. Never before has the city been as much stirred up over a football game, and If there Is not excitement In plen ty at Ponce DeLeon next Saturday, then something has gone wrong. Both colleges have had better teams before. But never before has there been so much uncertainty about the strength of each,' and never before so many rumors about "professionals,” "ringers,” and the like. Georgia knot's pretty well what players Tech Is going to use, but she doesn't know anything about the plays that the Yellow Jackets will uncork. But you can take It from one who has seen the team practice, that there will be some new ones sprung If need- Tech not only does not know what plays Georgia will use, but sho does not even know what players will be sprung against her. The resulting uncertainty lx some thing fierce. There is no discounting the rising tide of Georgia's confidence. A week ago every Georgia man was blue as blueing over the prospect. Now they arc pretty confident and really expect a victory. The Tech backers, not knowing what they are up against, nre somewhat confident, but not overpow- crlngly so. - The feeling at Tech Is that If the team plays Its game It will down Geor gia. But the team never hns played Its gams—hot far two full halves, any way. And that It will do so Saturday Is uncertain. Anyhow, It will be a great game, nnd you can safely make your plans to go with a confident feeling that a "large time will bo had.” First Rounds Played in A. A. C. Golf Championship The first round of match play far the championship, Adair and Arnold cups, has been run off over the East Lake course of the Atlanta Athletic Club and a couple of matches In the second found have been settled. Surprises were numerous. The most startling was the defeat of Hill by Phillips. Among the lesser surprises were the easy manner in which Moore took Arnold Into camp and the over whelming defeat of Dr. Langston Uy Laxton. It now looks as though Moore would meet Byrd or Tllson fa the finals, with Byrd the probable winner of the club championship. The results follow: Championship—Tllson defeated Whit ing, 1 up 19 holes; Dr. Holland defeated W. K. Stone, 4 up and 2 to piny: Sto vall defeated D. Brown, by default; Byrd defeated Colville, 7 up and 6 to play; Street defeated Goddard, by de fault; Phillips defeated Hill. 4 up and 2 to play; Arnold defeated King, 1 up, 19 holes; Moore defeated Palmer, 4 up and 8 to play. Second Round—Moore defeated Ar nold. 5 up and 4 to play. Adair Cup—Payne defeated Austin, S up and 7 to play; Laxton defeuted Langston, 9 up ond 7 to play; Tlclienor defeated 8torer, T up and 6 to play; Williams defeated Hall. 1 up, 19 holes; Scott defeated Davidson, 2 up and 1 to play; G'ddlngs defeated Corwin, 1 up: F.
