His owner, Davy Johnson, hav. Ing subjugated the sprinting world, now longs for honors among the stee plechasers, and plan* to' use Rose- ben as the medium. Roseben has all the necessary quali fications of a great steeplechaser- speed and ability to carry the weight. Racing between jumps merely consists .of a succession of short sprints, and any horse than can carry weight and has speed can more than earn his live lihood between the flags. Of course, he must be able to jump, but as horses that aro nimble on their feet usually jump well, Roseben should be able to take to that nart of the game Tech kicked off once for a distance of 45 yards; Davidson kicked off twice for a distance of S3 yards. Lost ball on fumbles: Te#h. 1. Ran backs, punts and kick offs: Tech. 25 yards (an average of 5 yards): Davidson, 49 yard# (an average of 5.5 yards). Lost ball on dowas: Tech, 0: Davidson, 5 times. Forced to punt: Tech, 6 times; Davidson, 3 times. Ball changed hands 22 times. THE GAME Tech defeated Davidson Saturday afternoon by a score of 4 to 0 In a well played game on Tech field. In the first half Brown made a kick from placement. Otherwise, neither team could score. THE MORAL There's a moral dua because of Tech victory. After the battle. Coach Graham, of the North Carolina tram, aald, “\V*» would hat* beaten them under Inst year's rules." The thought which cornea to ua. brethren, on thla cheerful Monday morning, la that the gamea thla year are not being jdnyed under Inat year'a rulea, and the moral la that the guya who do not take u top ple to thla fact are Juat a year behind. "There be those" who anw the game who Inalat that Davidson played the better bull. Hut thla la obrlonaly tommyrot. David- •oil did guln ground more profuaely than Tech, but the galna were not HUtriclently contluuouB, except Jnat once. t«» endanger Tech’a goal.

Here the Tallow Jni'keta belli nml David- •on lost the ball on the one nml aolltnry occaalon when their attack looked fornild- able. Tech did praetleally n* much In the ace- ond half.

Then'mine n fourth* then a la-yard penalty, then another fum ble, which wnn the dlanntrmin end of nil attempted triple pnaa. Thla ended Tech's really good work In advancing the ball.

Football Committee*s Dope on Some Doubtful Rulings Her# %re some Interpretations of the . new football rules as handed out by tha Intercollegiate football rules com mittee at a meeting In New York at the end of last week: Considering rule 6, It was voted that In putting the ball Into play the cen ter rush may pass the ball back to one side and need not necessarily snap It between hla legs. In either case, the ball must leave his possession while he !• on the line of scrimmage. Under the same rule, it was voted that in case of a punt out, the catcher of the kick need not raise his hand as a signal for a fair catch. The committee declared that the rule preventing hurdling Is Intended to ap ply only to the man carrying the ball, and was passed to prevent a dangerous play. It la Intended to allow, under **hurd!ing In the line," stepping over a prostrate player* one foot at a time, even though both feet of the runner be momentarily off the ground nt the same time. The section under rule 11, which pro vides that no player of the side which has the bull shall be In motion at the moment when the ball Is put Into play, I* construed to mean that thl* will not prevent a player from running back ward from the scrimmage line toward his own goal line. Under the section of rule 11, which provides that none of the five men oc cupying the middle positions, center, gunrd or tackle, may drop back from the lino of scrlmtnnge on the offense, the committee declares: 'if a captain* during the progress of the game, wishes to change a center, guard or tackle to h position In the buck field, or to the position of end, he may do so by speaking to the referee, but no player thus vacating the posi tion of center, guard or tackle shall thereafter during the game go buck to any one of these positions." In discussing rule 14, the committee decides: "When a forward pass touches the ground In the field «»f play, without touching the player at either side, the bull.Is <Iead, ami goes to the opponents on the spot where the pass Is made, ex cept In case that the bull crosses the goal line without touching u player of either side, when It Is n touchback. In both instances, the penalty may not be refused. "In all cases of unlawful pass .where the ball goes to the opponents on the spot where the pass was attempted, the bull Is dead." ! JOHN 0. KEENE IS WORKING FOR RADTKE’S REINSTATEMENT Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 29.—John Oliver Keene, who had much to do with the development of Jockey Herman Kadtke, the boy under suspension In the Hast, will assist in the movement In behalf of the rider to secure his restoration, so that he can ride at w California track during the winter. Keene, who is here with hi* yearling thoroughbreds, believed that bud asso ciates during Idle hours caused the downfall of the crack jockey Radtke, rather than any shortcomings on the race track. "Rudtkn r«>de many winners for me," said Keene, "ami 1 can't believe he was doing anything more than violate rid ing order?; sometimes, when he thought OUld do better."

Marye The following article by Jesse Sibley, now connected with Stone Moun tain School, thrown some interesting light on the athletic situation among the prep schools about Atlanta. Mr. Sibley Is a graduate of Vanderbilt, where he played football and baseball, and last year he coached the Geor gia Military Academy. As there must undoubtedly be "another aide’ Georgian will gladly give space to It. By JESSE B. SIBLEY. f pure amateur ath- As an exponent let tea In secondary' »chm»ls, for the pur pose of the greatest good to the great est number, the writer believes that the* schools In and about Atlanta have gone on a wrong road In using dis criminating tactics. The general aim of athletics Is practically the same In every’ one of these school*, though too often the means used have destroy ml the purpose and heaped ruin on the one using such means. in Justice to the people interested In such schools, and to Stone Mountain School in particular, the writer feels that the actions of the Atlanta schools towards Stone Mountain should be ex plained. As a member of the northern division of the G. 1. A. A., they have a right to request games of the other schools. The best teams have always met on the gridiron, but so far a game has not been played between the Uni versity School for Boys and any.of the schools. If It Is a case of "cold feet" developed since the game between Tech second team and Stone Mountain, then we are willing to close the utgu- ment here. But we can't believe this for the coach, manager, team and a personal grudge existed between the members of the High School team and I he present coach of Stone Mountain, Mr. Beaver, for action In seemingly throwing the High School out of the league last spring for playing a dis qualified man. The writer was more responsible than any one else In hav ing the president of the league act, being then connected with Georgia Military Academy us coach. If personal grudges are going to be harbored In the controlling forces of our schools, for which the student body is made to suffer, then we believe ath letics are harmful, and should be done away with. Then thd matter resolves itself to this: cl) Either a bad case of cold feet: (2) or an unfair discrimination against Stone Mountain. The Univer sity School for Boys stands ready to play any of the Atlanta team*. In At lanta or reasonable conditions whatsoever. Texas 9 Terrible Team Lost To Commodore Aggregation Hpeclal to The Georgian. Nashville. Tenn., <>ct. ,29,—In the oplol- of C'otirb Hcheuker, of Yale, who has charge of the giant team of the University of Tex as, Vanderbilt has the fastest team he ever saw. In spite of the fact that the Ihijt* front the Lone Htnr State sent an eleven to Nashville that weighed 175 pounds to the man. the McGugln machine defeated the Texans on Saturday by a score of 45 to 0. In the opiulou of the great crowd thnt witnessed the game. It was the best that hns been played on Dudley field In years, and tu nil probability was the most speetneulur ever played on the famous field. There was something of the sensational order every moment. The new rules were employed oa many occasions by bqth teams, ipid the forward pass and the short kick were seeu throughout the entire game. Texas wrfa unable to run Vanderbilt's ends, niifl could not make any headway through the line. Their attack was terrific, ami on one occasion It looked as though the visitors would surely score.
