Thanksgiving day Is once more In
our midst.
And with It borne large doings In the
world of sports. Time was when the
day stood for turkey, mince pie, thanks
giving and pumpkin pie. Now It stands
for the same quartet—AND assorted
sports.
' The sporting feature of every up-.to-
date Thanksgiving day Is ty football
game, and Atlanta Is there with the
real thing In that line.
Tech and Clemson, the two greatest
teams the South has produced this year
—barring just two—will dash, as usual,
on Tech Rats and the game promises to
be what Is qulto generally termed a
"titling climax" to the season. ,
How well lt'"flta" will be beautlfull;
demonstrated to all those who attend.
And their number will be legion. Just
how many legion will amount to In
this case Is a matter open to specula
tion, though probably It Is In the re
mote vicinity of flvo thousand.
As for the game—well, you'll know
more about It If you turn out, than you
will by reading any advance notice.
A few of the adjectives located under
“s” which describe what It aught to be,
are: Splendid, spectacular, strenuous,
savage, sensational. Also, It will he
fast, furious, fierce. Likewise great,
grand and glorious. And then a few.
Just open the dictionary anywhere,
grab up any ndjertlvce- which meet
your fancy and apply liberally. The
gome will be all that, and perhaps
more.
All there Is‘to tell about the two
teams has been told a half dozen times.
The Tech team Is ripe and ready.
The men are Riled full of a flne assort
ment of straight football and trick
plays. Just what these plays will be
nobody knows, hut Coach Helsman and
the members of the team. But they
are guaranteed to be "dazzlers"
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
This, as no doubt will bo rcmnrked elsewhere in The Geor
gian, is Thanksgiving Day. ,
Without attempting to cut in on the job of the editoriul
writer or the office moralizer, it might ho worth considering
what the sporting enthusiasts in Atlnnta have to be thankful for:
Here ate a few things;
That the weather is fine for the Teeh-Clemsou game.
That there is such a “worth-while” game to go to.
That high class football has been on tap all the fall.
That Tech has J. W. Heisman for conch and the pluck to play
good baseball and football—win or lose.
1 That the Atlanta bascbatl tenm is going to win the pennant
next year.
That Killy Smith is again innuager.
That Charley Frank, though alive, is a good ways away.
That Atlanta didn't finish any worse than third.
That it’s the New York'Americans and not the Nationals
which are going to train hero next spring.
That the Southern tenniB championship, the Southern golf
championship and the Southern trap shooting championship are
to bo held here next year.
That Atlanta has—in Alex Smith—the greatest golfer in
America.
That race traek gambling is barred in the city.
That the professional wrestling brace game artists have gone
on to other fields.
That we ’re all here to eelebrute.
That our appetite is good.
A wild wrangle has been started by F. II. Yost over the
question, Can linesmen run from their position with the lmll?
Under the old rules they could. Under Jhe new rules Yost
says they can’t, and he started a row over the question during the
‘Penusylvonia-Michigan game. At that time ho lost his point.
The question is too nbstrusc to interest the average reader and
the writer doesn’t know the answer atul isu’t ashamed to say so.
He would like to go on record, however, as being of the opinion
that if Coach Yost says it is right that it is right.
It*s a question if Sewauee is not making n mistake iu putting
Scarbrough into the game. T| le announcement that he would-
play brought forth much joy t 0 the football' 1‘aus, but, perhaps,
this was premature.
For one thing, Scarbrough has hardly been in training long
enough to go through a long, hard game. For another thing, he
has not learned football under tho new rules, even those who have
played through the whole season have hardly done that, and lie
will hardly be able to ruu the team. Presumably Sewanee will put
him in in the faint hope that he will he able to make n drop kick .
from the field and score against Vanderbilt.
Scarbrough is a good player and n plucky player, nnd it is
too bad that he haN to bo sacrificed in such a cause.
right, and unless Clemson can break
them up before they aet well started
they are likely to bo scoring wonders.
Tho Clemson team arrived In Atlanta
Thursday morning. All tho men arc

men are not bubbling over with confi
dence, but they seem to feel that they
have a good chance for the game—
which, no doubt, they have.
They know that It Is up to tliein^ to
show their worth and they are pre
pared to do It, though the heavens fall.
The team left Clemson Wednesday
at 1:10 p. nt. and spent the njght at
Norcross. This gave the men a good
rest, where there was plenty of quiet
and lots of fresh atr. Likewise there
were no over-excited alumni to keep
things stirred up.

cross this morning and came on to At

Thanksgiving Day Busy One
With Sports and Sportsmen
It Ik bard for the writer of sporting
dope to yank his mind off the two most
important subjects of the day—football
nnd turkey—hot the fact remains that
Thanksgiving Day Is a „ bag one
for the doers of sporting stunts and
this day prothlscs to be In no way ex
ceptional.
Of course the football games will
attract the big crowds. But football is
not the only gamp on the list.
Hunting has attracted fypal sports
men by the thousands. Many of them
got out Wednesday bight for the
Thanksgiving holiday and a smaller
number took to the fields for the bal
ance of the week. South Georgia drew
tho bulk of those who were out for a
two or three days’ hunt, but the woods
right around Atlanta will be literally
black with hunters during'the day.
Probably big bags will not be the
order, since there are likely to be more
hunters than game, but most of tl\ose
\
who go out will have a large time.
During the morning a pistol shoot
was held over a local range and this
attracted a goodly number of enthusi
asts, who competed for handsome
prizes.
Local trap shooters also took a flyer
at their branch of the sport and the
slaughter of the clay pigeon was some
thing awful.
The golf course of the Atlanta Ath
letic Club at East Lake enjoyed a busy
,1av. The. first delegation of plovers
hit the first tee about breakfast time,
and from then on until sunset things
happened. Alex Smith, the new' pro
fessional, was In charge for the first
time, and was, of course, the center of
interest. ,
The Thanksgiving weather was a
trifle chilly for tennis and the other
mid-summer sports, but some of the
more rabid enthusiasts took u flyer on
the courts, und if a report of some ’
Thanksgiving baseball game or other
does not turn up about Friday or Sat
urday the writer will be surprised.

Sixteenth Annual Contest CHAS. MURPHY
Special to The Georgian.
Nashville, Tend., Nov. 29.—For the six
teenth year. Vanderbilt and Sewanee will
meet In battle royal on Thanksgiving day.
This aniiuni Turkey tiny contest on Dud
ley‘field has grown to bo looked forward
to with the keenest of Interest, and It
iilways draws the record crowd of tho sen-
The Tigers brought to Nashville this
morning the best eleven the University of
the Mouth tins sent out since ll produced
the famous eleven of 1899 that denned up
everything In the Mouth except Vanderbilt,
nnd did not l**at Vanderbilt because them
wns no game between them. The Tigers
are huskier, faster nnd more confident tlila
senson than for years past.
The usual stereotyped list of weights has
been annouuced by the management of the
purple squad, and this season It Is about
160 pounds average. The ^eights of many
of the heaviest men on the team are
given out at something like 13 to 20 pounds
less than they really are known fo be, but
this has not served to baiubooste the
Nashville public or the Vanderbilt tenm
either.
The sudden and unexpected entrance of
Sewanee’t former star quarterback, Scarbor
ough. Into the game has added further un
certainty to the contest. •‘Skrccb” kicked
a goal from the field, last year for the
Tigers nnd made the only points Hoofed by
Sewauee during the Thanksgiving game,
which was won by Vanderbilt, OS to 4.
The Tigers are counting on great work
on the part of Hhlpp, their star half back
and ground gainer, and they arc likewise
laying turn’ll store by Htonc, their big
Itft tackle. The Commodores are laying
for Shipp, however, and It Is nut unlikely
that the fast Tiger half will And ground
