GEORGIA-CLEMSON GAME WILL NOT BE PLAYED SATURDAY
EDITED BY
! P. H. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
Well, the expected has come to pass.
Georgia has been suspended by Professor Holmes, vice presi
dent for this state of the S. I. A. A., And thorough probes into am
ateur athletic affairs will no doubt come thick and fast until all
the “ringers” have been banished. Athletics in this state will
certainly be benefited by this action and a healthy condition will
prevail.’ Davis and Sims, of Tech, arc said to be under suspicion,
but up to the present time nothing serious has developed and the
team is now in Nashville to meet Vandy.
Let the good work proceed.
8trenuons sailing looms just ahead for three important Geor
gia teams.
On Saturday afternoon the Tech team will face the most
powerful footbail machine in the South this year, the famous Van
derbilt team, conqueror of everything she has met save Michigan
and the Navy, whieh latter team she played to a backed-up
stand-still.
We did not lmther to state above that it was our opinion that
Vanderbilt was going to beat Tech.
Time was when we opined that the local players might give
Vanderbilt a rub. But that was before Vanderbilt proved as stout
as she is today and.before the ghastly catastrophes began to
happen to the local team.
In our opinion Vanderbilt ought to run up about four or at
the very outside five touchdowns on the Yellow Jackets. It is
more likely to be less than more. If the Jackets play as well
against Vanderbilt all through the game as they did against Se-
wanee in the second half the Commodores will be lucky to get off
with three touchdowns.
There is always a possibility that any team will score on any
other team and there is an especial possibility that Tech will
score on Vanderbilt, for the local men have been trained to get
down on the ball, and because Costen, who plays hack for Van
derbilt, haa developed a distressing way of fumbling punta.
However, unless Tech has luck, the local team is unlikely to
score.
Among the lesser Georgia teams Mercer and Gordon are two
of the most popular and considerable interest centers in the meet
ing of the pair, which takes place Saturday at Macon.
The settling of state football championships is always
highly entertaining this year.
an in
teresting pastime and has proved
Tech took the Georgia championship when she beat Georgia,
though the formality of the Mercer gaino November 23 must be
gone through with to give her a clear title.
Clemson is without competition, practically, in South Caro
lina. The Tennessee colleges yet have an argument, hut it will
be settled Thanksgiving Day when Vanderbilt and Sewnnee
meet.
The Louisiana teams have never been able to settle their dif
ference so the championship of that atate is an open question
and always will be.
The Mississippi championship is not decided until Thanks
giving Day.
But the Alabama title goes to Alabama or Auburn after the
game at Birmingham Saturday.
Little doubt is felt here but that Auburn will get the call.
The Alabama "Polys” look like the third plane team in the S. 1.
A. A. this year and ought not to have any trouble with Ala
bama. They claim over at Auburn that Alabama has “ringers”
DISAPPOINTED? SURE!
Bah! Jove.

Macon, Ga., Nov. 15.—There will be
no Georgla-CIemson football game to
morrow. The Georgia team Is down
and out so far as games with other
colleges In the Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic Association are concerned
until after the fehatges of profession

SEWANEE CANCELS
GAME WITH S. W. P. U.
Special to The Georgian
Sewnnee, Tenn.. Nov. 16.—The 8e-
wanee team was scheduled to play the
Southwestern Presbyterian University
at Sewanee on November 16, but ow
ing to the heavy achedule already
played and the present bruised condi
tion of the team, Saturday's gome has
been cancelled. Nothing material
onuld be gained from playing 8. W. P.
as the score would probably be a
large one In Sewanes’s favor.
The Sewanee team now has all Its
games behind them, save the deciding
struggle with Vnnderbllt on Turkey
Day. In eight games Sewanee has
scored 238 points to her opponents’ 10,
and 4 of these tallied from field goal.
Only once this year has the purple
goal line been crossed.
Barrett is suffering from a broken
nose that some Yellow Jacket gave
him as a memento of last Saturday's
vigorous occasion. Lex Stone Is also
on the sick list. With his leg In band- ■
ages, he played against Georgia Techj
and Georgia, got bruised, of course, and
the pain has gone Into his back.

PLAYS GOOD FOOTBALL
Virginia and Georgetown ought, to furnish a good game.
Both teams are somewhat off thia year, but ought to be reaaonably
evenly matched.
' Satorday’a games are the last big ones for most teams of the
South until Thanksgiving Day.
The Atlanta Baptist College fcolor-
ed) haa one more football game thle
season, that against Knoxville on
Thanksgiving Day.
The local team played recently In
Augusta ngainst the South Carolina
State University (colored) team from
Orangeburg and defeated It 45 lo 0.
The Augusta papers spoke very highly
of the playing of the local team and
the referee, who was an old University
of Georgia player, said that It was one
of the best played (aVnes he had ever
seen.

Athena. Ga„ Nov. 15.—In a at Moment
made public luat night. Profeaitor 8. V.
Hanford, athletic director of the Uni
versity of Georgia, denied charges made
agalnat the Georgia team, and Insists
that the athletic management and the
faculty have no evidence that any
money was uaed to hire playera In the
game with Tech.
Professor Hanford denied aeveral
statements made by Grantlanu Rice In
his story In The Nashville Tennessean.
He denies that Georgia held secret
practice ten days before the Tech
game: that the bulk of the undergrad
uate body had ever seen or heard of
the members of the team before the
game, and that any player received
money or expenses from the Georgia
management.
"If there was a man on the Georgia
team,” he says, "who played for money,
no member of the faculty or the ath
letic management was cognisant of tho
fact.”
Profeaaor Sanford further states that
every member of the team registered
regularly, and that those never before
students of the university were ques
tioned closely aa to their reasons for
entering college. He admits that one
man was found to have registered un
der an assumed name, and declares
this man was prohiptly sent home by
Chancellor Barrow. He states that later
another man was found who was In
eligible. and they declined to allow
him to play.
It Is declared by the protestor that
so vigilant was the faculty that four
men who registered and did not attend
classes were dropped, and that It was
believed these registered for football
purposes, but were restrained by the
vigilance of the faculty.
"The athletic management of the
university," said Professor Hanford,
"and the faculty have no evidence of
the us# of money with which to hire
players on the Georgia team, ft
have been used an*l It may not
been. Certainly if It was used It was
without the knowledge of the athletic
department of the university or the
faculty."
Professor Sanford said further that
the faculty has to rely on the nutnes
given by the men In registering, but
that the authorities have no knowledge
of any concealment of names, nnd that
at all times the faculty has acted
promptly In Investigating Ineligible •
players.
The statement of Professor Sanford *
(s backed up by one from E. H. Dor * :
sey. treasurer of the University Ath- »
letlc Association, declaring that not a
cent ha/j been paid by the athletic as
sociation to players on the football
team or to others for them or In any
way to Induce men to play.
