NO EXCUSES FROM AUBURN Special to Tba Georgian. Auburn, Ala., Nov. 17.—The Auburn football team will leave here today with twenty player* for Macon to play their annual game on Thankegtvlng ' with Georgia. The entire bunch of endete was on the elde llnee when the uquad went through their harde.t practice yester day. All the regular team and eight nub- •tltutea were lined up agalnet the sec. ond team for twenty mlnuten. Their work was entirely satlatactoiy to both coaches, and If they fall to win, you can know that Georgia hoe a first clan, team. Not a man on the Auburn team haa any Injury. They came out of the game with Alabama without a .cratch and not a aub.tttute waa used In that game. Auburn ho. not .lumped and I. to day In as good shape ae at any time this season. The 1 Auburn second team will play Coach Tbit's team of the district col lege at Wetumpka November 28. This will be their third match game for the season. Auburn claims to have the beat sec ond, third and grass cutter teams In the South. These three serub teams will afford some fine material for an other season. No ringer* need apply.

New York City- ^ j NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS WtfHUHHIUtMfl IIHtHHMHMHIl With the wind-up of the Southern football season, which comes Thursday, there will be the usual fifty-seven or more staggers at All-Southern and All-S. I. A. A. elevens. People in this end of the world have practically dropped the All-Southern for the more re- stricted All-S. I. A. A. team; chiefly because it is out of the question for any one man to have a clear idea of the personnel of the teams of the entire South. The football South stretches from Ken tucky to Texas nnd from .Virginia to Arkansas and it’s a wise man who knows the football stars of a quarter of this territory. Most of the S. I. A. A. teams play against each other each year, and though a team like L. S. , U. is not well known in the middle South, still any phenomenal player of that aggregation would find his fame fast filtering Atlantaward. THIS LAD MADE GOOD sitions. The writer is not going to pick any All-S. I. A. A. team. Far from it. lie leaves that for those with more knowledge and nerve. He is going to consider, though, the men of the South who are certain of All-S. I. A. A. po- Vanderbilt has the surest candidates. The two men over whom there will be no chance of an argument are Bob Blake at end and “Stein” Stone at center. You cotildn’t jar’them off the team with nitro-glycerine. They are . not only All-Southern certainties, but if they played in the East, where Walter Camp and the real sharps had a chance to see their work, they would be All-American possibilities. No center of the year has come within a mile of Stone and no one within 1.760 yards of Bob Blake. ,, When you dispose of these two men you eliminate all of the men about whom there will be not an earthly chance of an argument. “The next on our program” is undoubtedly John Craig. He is pretty certainly the best halfback of the year in the South, the rooters of “Skinny” Shipp, of Sewanee, to the contrary notwithstanding. In fact,-if the writer were going to pick an all-S. I. A. A. team (which he assures you again he isn’t), he is a little doubtful if Shipp would get a job at all. Until the cloud over Shipp’s ama teur standing is cleared away and until he can put up a better defensive game than he did against Tech nnd Georgia, we beg leave to pass him. Shijlp is the best of the “broken fielders” and the best of the “stiff-nrmers,” and there you have it. Doubtless Shipp will get a place on the all-S. I. A. A. this year. If he can travel in the same class with Campbell, of Vanderbilt, though, on^ all-around work it will be a surprise. However, we’re off the main track that was to'lead us to the all-S. I. A. A. certainties. To get back again: “Lex” Stone, of Sewanee, will doubtless get one of the tackles. He did it last year and precedent is a great help in picking an all-nnything team. Stone is a wonderfully well-built chap, strong, aggressive, and with a cool head and a com plete knowledge of football. He has not been playing up to his 1906 form this year, but on gen eral principles will get the call. We beg to be excused from picking the other tackle. There are a lot of stars in that posi tion this year, more than usual, in fact. Vanderbilt hap a pair of good men in McLain and IIoss- lock. Clemson has'a genuine wonder in McLnurin-and there nre n lot of other good ones. It is our off-hand opinion that one John Davis, late of American University, will be entitled to play one of the tackles. If any linesman has anything on him it has not been developed in any gamo Tech hns played. The choice looks like Stone and Davis, but Stone is the only certainty. This hns not been a great year for guards. The work of no man has stood out especially in that position. King and Sherrill, of Vanderbilt, and Henderson and Smith, of Tech, have been steady performers. When you get to talking about the V,antlerbilt linesmen you are face to face with a prob lem. The Vanderbilt line has met only tjjree Southern lines this year, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tech. But the Commodore forwards haye’hpd no trouble in holding their own in every battle. It docs not seem probable that the Nashville team was able to pile uii 40 points on Kentucky, 60 on Mississippi and 54 on Tech simply because Vanderbilt had the better back field. It is apparent, judged by comparative scores, that Vanderbilt hns a better- team, in almost every position, than any college of the, South. But this fact will not be considered by the pickers of an all-S. I. A. A. team and on this count King, Hasslock, McLain nnd probably Sherrill will be counted out. The quarterback and fullback positions nnd one end are very open. On everything but hanaling punts Costen will lend the quarters with ease and despite his weakness in this depart ment he will doubtless get the call by almost every one. The fullback place is any old man’s job. If “Chip” Robert had not been knocked out at the atart of the Georgia game and thus cut out of an opportunity to show what he could do in that contest nnd against, 8ewiineo and Vander bilt | • would be a strong contender for a job as Boh Blake’s running mate at end. Robert is a marvellously good man, fast, strong, chunky, a hard tackier and a hard man to tackle. He can rush with tho ball, burst up interference, tackle the man with the hall, go in as understudy for the quarterback, plBy a half when needed and is generally speaking the most valuable all-round man Tech has had in years. Just by way of a reminiscence last year’s all-S. T. A. A. team is given: Brown Georgia Tech End Pritchard Vanderbilt I Tackle Connor Mississippi Guard “Stein” Stone Vanderbilt Center Chorn Vanderbilt Guard Lex Stone Sewanee Tackle Bob Blake Vanderbilt . End Costen ...Vanderbilt Quarterback Craig Vanderbilt Halfback Dan Blake v.. . Vanderbilt Halfback Manier .Vanderbilt Fullback LOWRY ARNOLD WILL RESIGN AS VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE LEAGUE It will be up to the Southern League to elect a new vice president at the coming meeting In Atlanta. For Lowry Arnold will not aland tor re-election. « "I do not consider that It would be right for me to nerve In that capacity," aatd Mr. Arnold Tuesday. "1 have severed all connection with the local association, resigned an director and sold my stock. Bo I don’t think thkt It would be right for me to continue aa vice president of the league.” There la a likelihood, however, that Mr. Arnold's resignation will not be ac cepted. William Kavanaugh, president of the organization,' does not own a cent's,worth of ntock In any club and Is considered a more valuable man In the position for that reason. The fact that Mr. Arnold Is no longer a stock holder In the local association, may be taken by the league as one of his beat qualifications for re-election and give him the job whether he wants It or no. ANENT THE S. I. A. A.’S PUNISHMENT OF GEORGIA Percy H. Whiting. Sporting Editor Georgian: Dear Percy—In the papers of Sunday morning 1 read with a nigh of amaae- ment. sandwiched In between a couple of dices of amusement, the following Interesting bite of news—In word* to this effect: Report of executive committee of 8. L A. A.: "Georgia, you are guilty, do In peace.” Naturally, I was a little dated at the astonishing result of the thorough Investigation of the committee, and the horrible punishment meted out to the offender. Not being an executive com mitteeman of the 8. I. A. A.—not even a college professor—I could not quite catch the drift. I read on. ••Georgia,” reports the executive com mittee. ”we And that you Imported four ringers to play with your team against Tech and paid them handsome sums of money, the prevention of such things be ing the main excuse for our existence." Though they didn't do so, they might have gone on to report that you held se cret practice a week or more before the game In order that the Identity of these men might not be known; that the men were not even allowed to register at the hotel In Atlanta before the game; that the names were not given out until the game had begun; that assumed names were then given. After omitting tbls the committee went on to state: "That even before this you had played two men who had been distinctly disqualified by the 8. I. A. A. "This waa disgraceful, a blot on the state, on college athletics and the 8. I. A. A.: therefore—” Shut your eyes, Percy, so a* hot to see the awful slaughter of the Inno cents and prepare to swim through the tears which will stream from your eyes as you read of the awful, the horrible punishment meted out. "Therefore." says the executive com. mlttee, "having committed all these grave and- disgraceful offenses, go In peace!" Put I would do the 8. I. A. A. an Injustice If 1 did not recite the sen tence pronounced upon Georgia In toto. In addition to the punishments al ready recited, the committee asked the faculty to find out If the captain knew he was playing Cox. a man whom every body else knew all along had been dls- quallded. and furthermore asked the faculty to And out If the assistant coach, who came to Georgia about the same time the ringers came, knew any thing about what It so dellcattly terms "the above mentioned Irregularities," Asked the faculty, which did not know something which the Atlanta pa pers had been full of for fully a week and which even Grantland Rice, way up In Nashville, had published, to Inves tigate these things! And the committee further chastised HUGH DOUGLAS. Here is ths ex-Univtrsity of Tennessee football player who wont to I Annapolis and is now tho otar of tho Navy team.

The fcRtlve hour I* 2:39—which wo* wisely selected aa being Ju*t abaft some people’* dinner hour nnd Just /intern of the other chops'. Also, It Is sufficiently close to sun rise so that, barring too inttuy accidents, the lusty doings will be orer before dork nnd In time so everybody eon dress for the night's doings—Iwfore It I* next morning. (liven the proper weather—and the sharps In the sunshine shop any we con count ou It —the game Thanksgiving Day will be n large celebration—Judged from its f«N»tball, amusement, social nnd other viewpoint*. As an amusement event the game put* It nil over anything that the theater* offer. Somehow football aud Thanksgiving Day are u» closely asaocinted *■ turkey nnd cranberry sauce, nnd you can’t separate them with on nx—nnd don’t want to. If you eat the "Mg doings" in the middle of the day you need the football game ns an aid to digestion. If the large feed Is still ahead of you at 2:90, why nothing bents the game to put a large, keen edge on your ap petite. The Thanksgiving football game draws people who do uot turn out any other day In the year to Met* a gridiron battle, ('bnure* are that some of them will not know thrnnghout the whole contest which team is which—and will not care. They don’t know n goal post from a touebtmek and glory In It. But the tingle of the game gets In their blood now nnd then nnd stirs them ns noth else can. e make.lt n careful point never to stray Into the preserves of the society depart* ment, hut In passing we can not overlook the fact that the Tech-CIeinson foot 1stII game, a* much heroine it come* on Thanks giving Day as for any other reason. Is be ginning to be a big affair socially. At thati It is a couple of hmulreil miles tiehind the' big games in the East and North, In that respect. Time will l*\ though, when socie ty folks will ponr out In as large proportions ns the football fans for the Thanksgiving Day game, and thl* Thursday will *«*e a larger delegation than ever ln*fore.
