THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1007. 16 3P 2™ tech ALSO IS NOW UNDER SUSPENSION BY THE S.I.A.A. i P. H. WHITING S. /. A. A MEETS HERE SATURDAY In response to The Georgian'* re quest for the time and place of the meeting of the executive committee of .the S. I. A. A., at which the cases against the Tech and Georgia Athletic Associations will be heard. Dr. William L. Dudley, president of the 8. I. A. A., wires: The Georgian, Atlanta, Ga.i Will call meeting Saturday morning 10 o'clock, Piedmont Hotel, Atlanta. W^L. DUDLEY. At this meeting the Georgia and Tech Athletic Associations will he giv en a chance to clear themselves of the charges against them. ONE TECH REGULAR OUT FOR PRACTICE When Vanderbilt and S. I. A. A. Got Through With Tech One Man Was Left—Six Expected Out Tuesday. Exactly on* regular member of the Tech team—count him, one—was on the field for practice Monday after noon. Between the Vanderbilt team and the Bouthem Intercollegiate Athletic Asso ciation the Tech team 1s decidedly on the blink. ' As we recall them here are the casu alties: Hill—Contusions, bumps, bruises. Davis—Wrenched ankle, suspended by Tech faculty and S. t A. A. pend- . Ing Investigation. Snyder—Muscles tom from mooftngs, general contusions. . Smith—Bruised hip, several features missing. Brown—General comminutions and detrition of a limb or two. Jones—Sprained, bruised and gener ally stove up. Hightower—Contusions, abrasions and general fragility. Sweet—Dislocated collar-bone and otherwise disfigured. FltxHmmone—That missing tooth still gone, suspended by faculty and by B. I. A. A. pending Investigation. Duck—Sprained and badly swollen ■wrlet. The one man who came through the Vandorbllt game wtth only a few chunks of skin missing was “Tiny" Henderson. “Tiny" being large and plump, did not seem to mind the ter- ,-oncn riewmnn, utter u uarutut count of noses, has decided that he ought to have six of the ‘varsity regulars out for practlos Tuesday. Of coune. there will bo practice. Despite the suspension of the Tech team, regular work will be continued Just as before, and every preparation made for a gam* with Mercer Satur day and with Clemaon on Thanksgiving Day. out. though it Is no cinch, will be on hand and so probably will Smith. Brown ought to be able to make ft, and so had Hill and Fltxslm- monn. ' But, oh, what a shattered wreck It will be of the marvelous material of mid-September! Sweet Is probably out of the game for the rest of the season. Jones will be out for a week anyway. Hightower Is In far from encouraging condition, and It is practically certain, that he will not be back during the season. Luck Is also a doubtful proposition. Just at present his wrist Is badly swollen and It is not likely that he will be In uni form again this year. How Coach Helsman can hope to S itch together a .team that will beat lemson Is hard to see. Probably he does not hope It. . > But there la no giving up. The case of the men suspended by the S. I. A. A. will be fought to the last ditch. If Tech wins doubtless the question of showing well will be a com paratively easy one. The doctors will do their best with the cripples, but several of them are not golrtg to be back again this year. Robert and Buchanan were not out for practice Monday, and It Is not known whether or not they will be in the game Thanksgiving Day. But every effort will be made to ret them in trim, for they aro badly needed. LEADING CITIZEN GETS FOUR YEARS Providence, R. L, Nor. It.—Levi C.

HOLMES SUSPENDS GEORGIA TECH TEAM Charges Made by Georgia Against Local Team Are Acted Upon With Great Promptness. Special to The Georgian. Macon, Ga., Nov. 19.—After several hours' consultation behind locked doors, Professor Holmes, of Mercer University, suspended Georgia Tech from playing football. Professor Holmes, President Mathe- aon, of Tech; Hon. N. E. Harris, presC dent of the board of trustees, of Tech, and Professor Sanford, of Georgia, were In close session Monday afternoon, and evidence against Tech was heard from haps the most Important factor In the wonderful success of the Indian foot ball team this year, will probably not play against Chicago Saturday. He broke several small bones In his right hand In the game of Saturday. Island will be at quarter. The Indians are In had shape as a result of the Minnesota game. Ex- endlne has a floating rib, but he will play against the Western champions. Professor Sanford, accusing the Atlanta college of playing six ringers, Johnson, Sims, Davis, Robert, Fltssltnmons and Buchanan. President Matheson denied the charge against Tech, and stated that the team was not guilty of violating the rules ofthe S. I. A. A., and It could Be proven that the charges brought against the college by Professor San ford could not be sustained. A meeting of the executive commit tee, consisting of Professor Holmes, of Mercer; Dr. W. L. Dudley, of Vander bilt, and Professor Riggs, of Clemsnn, will be. held' shortly. The dnle will probably be settled by Dr. Dudley. Now that the Tech has been sus pended. Mercer Is without a game for this Saturday, and her manager Is try ing to make arrangements for, a game In this city on that date with Clcm- son.. Georgia and Tech being out of the game for the time being, Mercer and Clemson have only each other to rely on for a game in this section. How nbont a Thanksgiving Day game here between a couple of Emory class teams or a first- class prep bnttlo on that date t * , At the present rate of traveling the S. I. A. A. is not going to leave much else. The suspension of Tech came Monday night. It has been impossible to obtain a very clear idea of the grounds on which the suspension was based and no judgment can be formed until this Evidence gets in the lime-light. From a publicity viewpoint Georgia got in a little worse than Tech. Everybody knew the na ture of the charges against the Athena college and tho guilt appeared obvious. . If Tech has done anything that is not legitimate the local school made a mighty good job of it, for it fooled those most closely connected wijh the college. Thank goodness there is to be a general cleaning out. The executive committee of the S. I. A. A. is likely to handle the matter quite without gloves. When Dr. William L. Dudley goes into action things have a way of happening. Not all the men of the South put together havo done as much aa he toward cleaning up athletics. And he is still in harness. \ The question of the payment of money to college athletes by merchants is worth a short dis cussion at this point. For years past it has been the custom in most college towns for merchants who have or de sire a good college trade to have representatives at the colleges. These men go among the students, boost tne merchant and as a rule reoeive a commission for all sales made through them. It has long been the custom of merchants to secure some good athlete for this job. This was a matter of cold business with them. They found that the star football player was known to more men and could draw more trade than the prize debater or the “champeen” thinker. , So naturally the athlete got the job. Now this thing of an athlete representing a merchant is legitimate as long as the man actual ly does work as an agent. All trade that a representative sends to any special merchant that he represents is worth the 10 per cent that the athlete gets. It is not legitimate when the athlete receives any per cent on sales made to students when these sales were not brought about in any way by the efforts of the athlete in question. This may seem a hair-splitting distinction, but it is a nice one. What you work for you earn and are entitled to. What is “handed to you’’ that you don’t work for is athletic graft and not legitimate. The writer has never been able to get to the bottom of the Tech transaction with local cloth ing stores, but measured by the above standard it was either right or wrong. Those in possession of the facts cap do their own judging. i up 1 the present athletic muddle. Clemson and Auburn, especially Auburn, have put up an awful “holler” because they were hurt by the suspension of Georgia and they have had a lot to say about the “innocent suffering” and all that sort of thing. Now this is true. Nobody denies that. Clemson has suffered and Auburn is likely to suffer for the alleged athletic sins of Georgia. , ’ But it has been the experience of the world that the innocent usually had to do the bulk of the suffering for the guilty and as Dr. Dudley pointed out to the Auburn representatives when they put in their plea for the temporary reinstatement of Georgia it would be like refusing to hang ii murderer because his poor old mother’s heart would be broken. Probably it would and that’s a pity; but justice must blunder along as best it can; and in its most efficient state it is a clumsy machine, ninning over the guilty and the innocent alike. Since Alabama tied Auburn Sat urday in a great game the Tusca loosa team has bsen more er less in the glimmer. Her* is the captain of the team and the star player. He ie a wonderfully good quarterback. Yale Is Preparing For Harvard Game New Haven, Conn., Nov. 19.—Tomor row and Thursday there will be scrim mages by the Yale team. Then the eleven, with the scrubs, will go to Au burndale, Mass. Head Coach Hart looks for a hard game with Harvard, and the Yale play, era will be given some strenuous work this week. Congdon Is barely able to walk be cause of hln sprained ankle, but the rubbers expect to have him In condi tion to play Saturday. Bride has a Charley horse, but Is feel ing considerably better today, and Goebel and Coy, despite their black eyes, begin to assume the appearance of human beings once more.
