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 looking Rt and Coach Williams experts good work/ from them. The < 'letnson 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. The team took breakfast In Nor- cross this morning and came on to At lanta on the early train, arriving about i * o'clock. ■ " up ' in Both Teams -Are Good Condition For the Fray. right guard position, but I don’t know which. McFadden and Warren are about an even break for quarter. Lat imer will |»lay part of tho game at right half. Jn addition to the men named in the line-up we have with us Blea#e, a sub-half; Cannon, a sub-end; Pinckney, a Hub-quarter and half, and CaughmtMi. This team will average about 166 pounds. Several of the men will run way dv»r this, but we have a. lot of little men, too, which evens Ms, u/ni:. m . -r.iLere I “Broncho” Armstrong, as he used to Coach Williams h^s to see hi. men Ihe Thursday* 0 ** 1 ' n tSJ team Irriv-ed from Vorfolk -I can't tell what to think about It." | Thureday morning and will unipire the he said.

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.

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.
