TECH-GEORGIA GAME HOLDS CENTER OP THE STAGE

NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
If you had happened down to either of the stations Thurs
day nifflit you could hardly have failed to notice the unusually
large number of gentlemen wearjug corduroy suits, which bulged
at the pockets; .nrrying odd-shaped leather carrying cases and
leading handsome setters or pointers.
And then it occurred to you that tho hunting season opened
on November 1, and that these gentlemen were headed for the
fields for a day's sport.
It is a regrettable fact that those who have waited for the
opening of the season will find many of the choicest eovies shot
to pieces by those whose slight regard for stnto laws and tho
laws of decency has allowed them to start afield before the season
legally opened.
But on tho whole the sport promises to be good. Ho ports
from all sides bring the information that gnmo is plentiful.
Evidently the pot huntors and the law-broakers have not
been able to spoil this great sport—though ns aimed at present
they are bound to arrive at that destination some time soon.
Georgia hunters are out in force today and will bo for
months now.
, And to tho nunters who read this column a word:
DON'T BE A GAME HOG.
Shoot what you Want, thon stop. Observe a decent limit.
Don't make a butcher out of yoursolf.
Be a sportsman nt all times. Talto more credit to yourself
for one hard allot well made tluin for a hundred quail slaughtered
on tho ground. If you go out in pairs remember that tho other
many is interested in killing birds, too..
And onoe again, and most important of all, lemembnr .to bo
a sportsman. If you are, it’s something worth bragging about

TECH AND GEORGIA ARE READY
FOR THE BIG BATTLE SATURDAY
Georgia’s Line-up a Matter
• of Profoundest
Mystery.
The Tech team Is ready for the Uni
versity of Georgia. Tho local players
are oa fit for the bitter struggle as care
ful coaching and training can make
them.
• Right now It looks os though Coach
Helsman would get all of hie men save
Clyde Brown Into the game. This hefty
tackle acquired a busted mitt In last
Saturday's game and Is out for the
present. In bla place will be Johnson,
the big Bwede, - who plays In a regular
oollege game with the Tech team for
the flrat time on Saturday.
This means that Tech U going
■gainst her ancient rival with practi
cally her full strength. Johnson la pre
sumably us good a tnan as Brown. At
any rate he has the weight and knows
some football.
The back Held la slightly "stove up.”
Fitzsimmons Is stlU minus that tooth
he lost last Saturday; Sweet has a
badly twisted neck, and. Luck Is lame
and slightly wobbly on his pins.
However, Coach Helsman has High
tower, Adamson. Emerson. Jonaa and n
couple of other good back-field men

anticipate much trouble with his back
As for os can be learned. Tech will
accept any team that Oeorgla sends up.
"We are against protests. said
Coach Helsman. We have falth .In
the. athletic authorities of other col
leges and will play any teoih they
vouch for." .
This statement sets at rest all rumors
In regard to protests and makes It evi
dent that Tech will take on any team
that Is brought up, and do her best.
The Tech team had a roufhandtum

Tigers and Indians Meet
For Eastern Championship
By W. 8. FARNSWORTH.
New York, Nov. 1.—Before the sun
sets behind the skyscrapers of Jersey
City tomorrow night what Is likely to
be the greatest gridiron struggle in the
history of football will have been play
ed and a winner probably found.
Twenty-two husky warriors repre
senting Carlisle and Princeton will
meet at the Polo grounds and the out
come Is almost sure to decide the
championship of the East.
It will be the red man against the
white man at the latter’s own game,
yet at present everything favors the
Indian. He rules a strong favorite
and as good as 1 to 1 could be obtained
on Broadway today, although there was
plenty of Princeton money to be found
whenever anybody offered such a flat
tering price.
It will be a case of the light and
tricky Indian against the elow moving
and heavy Tiger. But It must not be
token for granted that Princeton Is
slow—they are only slow when com
pared to the fleet-footed Carlisle play
ers.
At all departments the Indians ap
pear to have It on the Tigers. They are
not as heavy, ’tls true, but according
to those who Invented "the new foot
ball” the lighter team has just os much
chance as the heavier one. The In
diana have a great line. They have a
greater quarterback, their halfbacks
are above the average, while the full-
buck Is the greatest In the country.
It Is Houser that Coach Roper and
the undergraduates of Princeton fear
more than any other man on the Car
lisle eleven, and Houser and Mount
Pleasant, the great quarterback, ore
feared more than the other nine men.
And there Is no reason why they should
not hold this great team In the highest
estimation.

HERE 1$ HOW WE SAVE YOU $5 TO $10
We’ll take your old stove, or range, or gas stove as first payment on one
of our fine “New Eagle” Steel Ranges, at a fair valuation—say $5 or $10, or
even more, according to worth. This saves throwing away, or giving away
your old stove, and enables you to save $6 or $10, and to get an “Eagle”
without investing a cent at time of purchase. The balance you can pay at
$1 a week or $5 a month. We believe this offer will enable a number of
purchasers to decide on an “Eagle.” Don’t put off your buying, as we may
withdraw this offer any day. You can rest assured that when you buy an
“Eagle” your stove troubles will all be over.
How We Can
Afford It
About 18 months
ago we made a con
tract with the man
ufacturers of the
“Eagle” goods at
prices 30 per cent
less than today’s
market. Just be
fore this contract
expired we ordered
seven carloads of
the “New Eagle”
Steel Ranges and
they are now in our
warehouse. That’s
why wo can afford
to sell you a $50
Range for $39.50,
and still make a
fair profit. That’s

you the above lib
eral offer. That’s
why we can make

Athena, Ga.. Nov. 1.—Coach Whitney
had his men go throufc* a short signal
practice today and this will be the last
work the team will do before the line
up tomorrow.
Nobody here knows exactly what men
will play against Tech Saturday, as
secret practice has far some time kept
dawn any chances for the escape of
Information In this respect.
Coach Whitney hae kept religiously
quiet as to the probability of beating
Tech, and will offer his team Saturday
exactly for what It Is worth. However,
he very guardedly gives out the Infor
mation that the game will be a first
rate affair and worth going miles to
see.
One thing that Is worrying the coach
and his men considerably la the fact
that Martin Is laid up and may be un
able to get In Saturday's game. Three
days ago while scrimmaging he sus
tained a painful Injury which has kept
him pretty much under cover ever
since. Martin's misfortune will weak

adherents are walking about with se
rious faces as a result.
It Is probably well known Maclary's
Injury will keep him out of the game
for the rest of the sesson. He was

New York, Nov. 1.—Tho way the
baseball situation struck me last night
after tho National Association ad
journed was that the w-ar-Ilke situation
had not been settled by any means—
merely postponed.
Thero has been nothing granted to
the American Association which origi
nally caused tho smell of powder, not
even by their own body.
Tho whole question of higher elassl-
flcatlon and Improved protection for
layers have been passed up to the
atlonal commission, the supreme
court of baseball, and It Is therefore up
to. or will bo up to, that august body to
smooth down the ruffled feathers of the
disgruntled ones—or to rub them the
wrong way.
The rebellious American Association
Is still rebellious. Tho delegates of that
organization cams here with threats
and they go ntvay with threats. Th?y
have not been made to show their
hands, neither have they been put on

Helsman Is going to depend on a foot
ball team and not on tricks to defeat
Georgia.
What the select few who attended the
last hard scrimmage saw was encour
aging to the Tech backers. The 'var
sity ran over the scrubs In pretty fair
shape, and except that Luck and Sweet
had to pull out on aacount of Injuries,
the showing was good.
It was tough going on the Ponce De
Leon Held. That Imported clay that was
plied on the diamond to give a packing
surface was baked hard aa bricks and
the fact that there was practically no
grass except on the Infield made the
falls very hard.
Every scrimmage sent up a stifling
cloud of dust and every man who At
tempted a flying tackle acquired a
mouth and a couple of eyes full of dirt.
However, Ponce DeLeon park U go

standpoint of the spectators. That
Ideal baseball plant works equally well
for football and everybody who goes to
the game can be confident of seeing the
contest front the best possible point.
The stand 1* nearer the gridiron than at
Tech, the Mats are more comfortable
and the facilities for getting the crowds
out to thapark and back are practically
perfect.

bad, the gome Saturday will be wit

Byrd meets H. Clay Moore. Moore le

Moore defeated Phillips by a score of

The finals for the president's cup

golfers—T. B. Paine and Clarence An

two It is a tosa-up. Both are really
first division golfers and are decidedly
evenly matched. On past performances
the latter has a shade the advantage.
The only seml-flnal match played
Thursday for the president's cup was
the one In which Paine defeated S. C.

The National Association made the
mistake of Its life yesterday In not

have been settled then and there at
yesterday's meeting. As the situation
now stands the American Association
can go along and arrange Its proposed
